10 - Lionel Messi - v3

[Schumi]

2 Goals plus 1 assist in 30 mins for leo.. A super hat trick for neymar and 2 goals for suarez.. Well they seem to be ready for clasico.

But but, they will not be able to link-up together.

Just got home and watched from the 80th minute. Messi played incredibly good, was he like this the entire second half? Fantastic stuff

Neymar and Messi seems to be linking well and the current tactics suit suarez very well. It may take time but it will work.

Leo signed his shirt, what a lucky pitch invader!

Leo got to keep his marker , lucky man.

That strange moment when Neymar will soon have more NT goals than messi. How the hell did neymar score 40 goals? Totally unbelievable. Must have played a lot of friendlies against low level teams. Even though that stat is amazing.

They will be a nuclear trident from almost Day 1. If not Day 1 itself. That is my prediction.

No. Brazil's opponents were not easy at all. I think it is the fact the Messi is heavily burdened with creating and scoring Argentina's goals. Neymar mostly just scores.

Neymar has scored against Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Japan, Spain, Italy, Chile, Portugal, Croatia and Mexico among others. Those are tough opponents by any count. In fact, it is European strikers who get the chance to score against such giants as: Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Faroe Islands, Norther Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Estonia, Moldova, Ireland, Andorra, San Marino and now Gibraltar. Surely I am forgetting a few more European mini-states that Euro-strikers routinely enjoy parties against.

Neymar has 23 assists as well... but I do think Brazil´s matches are relatively easy compared to the friendlies other nations play.

Not easy opponents at all. No Euro-minnows in there.

Brazil had one of those harlem globetrotters tour before the world cup, but Neyboy always performs well for Brazil regardless of the opponent.

Neymar does not disappear in big matches that i agree, he even performs very well against bigger teams. Just like leo (last few atletico matches were simeone magic no one can help it). They both have that something special to become world's best players, that is why i think neymar will become world's greatest player after messi. There is no one in his age bracket who is better than him.

I completely agree. People hype Hazard to the heavens. But can he really compare with Neymar? And I cannot think of anyone else at his age who is remotely as good. On that I agree.

You only have to check out the opponents that Neymar has scored against. I promise you, no San Marinos or Estonias in there.

 

[DinhoR10]

Its safe to say the only young players in Neymar's league forward wise are Bale and Rues maybe and both are older than him.

 

[linetty]

Messi has scored 9 goals and given 9 assists in 11 games for club and country so far this season #fcblive [via mrchip]

Unreal.

other continents have minnows, too. brazil played against teams such as iraq and china.

and scoring 2 goals against hong kong isn't that impressive, as far as messi is concerned.
