His performance throughout the tournament was top notch. Scored in every knockout game. 60 percent of his knockout goals were penalties. 75 percent if count normal time goals Australia was the only team he didnt score a penalty against Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate his penalty more than his second goal today for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes ball of steal to even score a pen. Let Kane tell you that. Stop knocking him. He produced 2 of the best moments of the world cup, The assist against Holland and the one against Croatia..... Thats Why Messi is the GOAT..... its not just about goals and pens. Its the passing, its the magic, its the dribbling. He was easily the best player on the pitch today.... Could of had like 2/3 assists if Lautro had is shooting boots on Edited December 19, 2022 by Lupinthe5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberto Carlos, Maldini, Cafu...unsure of the other CB. Cannavaro is a good shout. And Lahm is as well for fullback...But Carlos and Maldini are automatic for me.

As many pundits have said, probably a generational thing people opting differently. Glad he (& more so Emi) won though, truelly world class player and a joy to watch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted December 19, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 19, 2022 8 hours ago, Zatman said: Why? He scored a disputed penalty and a tap in He was at fault for France equaliser, if France had won would the debate continue on one game He was already the greatest player of all time. The only thing people could hold over him (wrongly in my opinion) was that he hadn’t won and international trophy. Then when he did that the only thing people had on him was he’d never won a World Cup. Now he’s done that too. And he’s carried Argentina to both trophies. The argument against him being the greatest of all time is now non existent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I think I have been a bit harsh in recent days on Messi mainly as the media wankfest has been appalling. Even the 2nd goal yesterday he did well to hold it up and lay it off but some were giving more credit than he deserved for that goal He is not the greatest for me but he will be in the top 5/6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Still would go with Maradona, if you read his book El Diego and watch the documentary we can see him differently. Improving a struggling and unfashionable Napoli team and winning trophies with them was unbelievable and to play regularly in that very same league that ruined the career of Van Basten. Italian league was violent then... Messi is definitely top three. Anyone seen Pele's goalscoring record, it's phenomenal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
