10 - Lionel Messi - v4

[Chong Li]

Messi really needs a better PR team.

and this is interesting:

Messi pays more taxes than those companies.

Maybe all these companies make only losses in Spain, because nobody pays their bills?

I don't think Portugal are gonna win the final, Germany or France have not lost to them in major tournaments, so ronaldo may have 2 losses in NT finals, euro 2004 and possibly euro 2016, similar to messi's losses in NT finals. Both will be seen as NT failures by most, but great club players, if they fail to win a NT trophy before they retire.

we all know ,Messi is better, but if Penaldo win's Euro ,that's it. unfortunately . see how people rates Maradona and Pele over Messi. only reason is Nt glory. i am posting this with a half dead mind, really lost faith in humanity and poetic justice..

Don't be an idiot, at this stage in their careers i don't think There's anything CR7 can do to be considered greater. Even right now Messi was brilliant in the Copa América aside from the penalty miss, CR7 has been decent in the euro's but certainly nothing remarkable, loads of players have been better then him.

Euro isn't world cup!

I really dont get any very rich people trying their best to avoid taxes, they have so much money they would have no idea how to spend it all in their lifetime. Why bother, especially when it can get you into legal troubles?

i think it may have something to do with footballers (and their families) not being born rich, and in many cases, even emerging out of poverty. they probably don't want to part with a single cent that could be "saved". that said, i don't condone tax evasion, irrespective of circumstance.

the ranking, although not fully pictured the whole situation, shows how Argentina fare in international matches during the past four years. Certainly Messi is a big factor in that. So, while not considering the losses during finals, they actually did very great in matches during the four years duration. Even Germany is still quite far below. I assume it's due to the 2015 copa america, when Europe have it one year after.

And now The Sun again puls out the story about Messi being unhappy with Barça support due the trials and moving to the Chelsea.

 

[Holly]

Ah well it is a report in the Scum....no one believes that rag!

 

[Marie-Antoinette]

This is refreshing. A little:

Lionel Messi paid for his father’s sins and the taxman’s need to set an example

Just like they do everytime the court case makes the news.

I could see the Ballon D'or for 2016 being, Winner CR7, Runner Up Leo, 3rd Place Suarez.

I am not sure if that would happen.... It goes to a Euro winner, or Copa winner or Olympics winner. Basically, some body other than Suarez!

 

[SeloBarca]

Well Griezmann has had a good year and are doing better and better in the Euro.

Suarez deserves 3rd for 60 goals last season.
