Saw him in his pomp, was quicker and more explosive than Messi. More skill moves, scored basically a goal a game at a time when that didn't happen and he was also younger than Messi/Ronaldo when he did it.

Messi betters him in more areas, dribbling, balance, technique, passing, creativity, vision and work ethic.

But I believe if Ronaldo didn't have those knee injuries he would have been the greatest ever. You just don't see players as good as he was at 20/21. We never actually saw his peak.

Messi > Diego > Luiz Ronaldo > Best > everyone else.

except Martial.

What do we think for Messi then? It's 1-0 to Ronaldo in this World Cup.
Is Messi gonna hit back?

And what about Sir Harry Edward Kane, of England?

i think both of them are playing on teams that will underperform and their numbers won’t be anything too great because of that. ronny gets a boost because he bagged 3 in 1 but he won’t continue like that. Griezy will be a big goal scorer, just watch.

Alright

Money talks

Nigeria upsets Croatia

A tiny white country vs a huge black country

This is a 4 to 1 payout no brainer
