I think a good performance against Chile should win Messi the Balon D'or for sure. He has been better for Argentina than Ronaldo has been for Portugal.
Dude its not just if he is better for argentina,he is constantly the best player in our team,he plays 4 or 5 roles in the team and still scores,while ronaldo plays one although brilliantly....Messi is a complete footballer,the most complete that has ever been...Ballon Dor shouldnt even consider Ronaldo...
- Messi's 11 goals at 7 national games 2012 equals Pele's best yearly haul, 11 goals in 15 games 1959.
Andy Cole (ex-Man Utd): "Players who dive should look at one player as the best example of how to play properly: Lionel Messi. Messi rides challenges to stay on his feet. If he went down every time, the game would be stop-start, like American football."
It's incredible how he has taken his game to another level. He truly is one of the most complete, if not the most complete football player ever. This is his best game this season so far.
