Messi scores as many goals as Ronaldo and is as creative as David Silva. That's why for me he is the best player on the planet and I'm as sure as I can be, without having seen many of the past greats, that he is the greatest of all time. Anyway nobody will change their mind, the arguments are repetitive and sometimes a bit of light trolling from either side. I hope they both have significant roles in the World Cup and Ronaldo is clearly ahead at the moment. Messi will likely find more space against Croatia and Nigeria but Argentina's defence is so bad they might even not get out of the group.
