10 - Lionel Messi - v3

You don't think he is working on it? Come on. In the mean time he can dive to protect himself.

Well at least he can dive decently unlike Bale who is hacked down by the pitch

Anyone know of any old Messi threads out there on the net? I like reading what people had to say about him from 2005 onwards.

"Barça will have the Messi dependence"

The Mateo guy jinxed it but as someone pointed out: "You can't jinx GOD!!!"

It's not a good forum at all, I mean the xtratime. But it feels nostalgic to read posts from 2006, for instance.

And that post in the first page was .

Yeah keep telling yourself that. He dives cause he lacks confidence/poor mentality and takes the easy way out. That's one of the reasons why Messi will always be better than Ronaldo. Never goes down and keeps going(shows his confidence and winning mentality) unlike the other who goes down when the wind blows by him

According to opinion poll, 25% of French people would give 2014 Ballon d'Or to Messi. Ibrahimovic 21%, Ribery 16%, Ronaldo 15%. [leparisien]

Ribery 16%? Only because he is French I suppose. Ribery has done nada in 2014 so far.

Thanks, some of them were really pissed off summer of 2008 when Messi decided to play at the olympics.

Khaled , or someone else , have you got that picture with Ronaldo's area of play in the field during a match compared to Messi's ? It's the one when it shows that Ronaldo stays just like a striker .


It's some kind of a heat map.

Carlos Valderrama was being interviewed today by Raza Deportiva hosts(Mexican show) and some host asked him "Messi or Ronaldo" he didn't even take a second to respond to that and answered Messi kinda funny how Leo is viewed as the best but some people decide to argue against it and make a case for Ronaldo.

When I was 15 I weighed about 50lbs(about 20KGs) less than I do now at 23 and it's all muscle that I've gained.

Verne Troyer, is that you?
