the greatest of all time.

I agree with you.

There is no doubting Messi's obvious talent and he is up there among the greatest players ever but the difference between him and Ronaldo is that he has never played in another league like Ronaldo has.

The Spanish league is good but you are given more time and the amount of goals he and Ronaldo scored last season just show how much easier it is.....they would not score that many in the Premier league and also they don't have the time on the ball like they get in Spain,imo it is a much easier league to play in.

I would really like to see Messi in the Premier League and see how he handles it ......lets face it is record for Argentina is nowhere near as good as it is for Barcelona.He has won everything there is to win in Spain and been at Barca nearly 11 years time to show if he ca cut it in another country just like Ronaldo has done.

Frank Ribery is a good footballer but not in the same class of the other two and his dealings with underage prostitutes in France that was hushed up by the FFA so he could be picked for the world cup in South Africa will always stick with him.

Also one thing that Ronaldo is obviously much better at is scoring goals also with his head.

To me Messi wins it hands down because he's not a diving, whinging cheat, which admittedly is unusual for an Argie.

I agree he saves his cheating for the Spanish government,which in his position is shameful.

Several years ago my home town club had a guy called Reg Jenkins playing up front and his left foot was as good as anyone,s in the modern game-pity his right wasn,t up to much though?

Nah, that was his dad.

[MrRed]

The best of it was they paid 5 Million Euros straight away when the investigation found them out,obviously his laundry system wasn't very good.

Because of who he is he will get a slap on the wrists i suppose unless the Madrileos want vengeance.

C'mon now Red. Poor behavior agreed, but cheating on taxes in Spain hasn't been much different than cheating on them in Greece. For many years running. Footballers fair game to go after now, bankers and politicos slightly down the list.

I read on here that some twonk said that Cristiano Ronaldo hadn't won the Ballon D'Or.

Probably Alfie or Carmine that Mary? they are not very knowledgeable about success especially in modern history.

2008 was most probably his best season to date in a harder league and in 2009 he went on to win the Champions League........real class for two three years at United.

Set another record last night in the Champions League with the most goals scored in the group stage by an individual.

Agreed Jelly but come on he had to pay 5 Million Euros!!! and that was just the tax from his image rights nothing to do with his earnings from actually playing football......that is one big tax bill from a sideline isn't it

My apologies I just tried to second guess your stupidity - the content of the text suggested that.
