I was just joking, although you're always here to defend cr, and don't do it for Messi as often :p
I just think it's funny.

I am always here to defend CR? Really?

I am too lazy to search my own posts, but I remember when folks suggested that Ronaldo had a better 2014 so far I vehemently defended Messi, saying Ronaldo had a very average 5 months in 2014 while Messi had a much better and terrfic January, Feb and March, he was only average and disappointing in April and May.

Believe it or not, I am one of the biggest Messi fanboys out there (I have 6 of his autographed match-issued Barca Messi jerseys right now and am looking to get more). My house is filled with Messi posters. I just want to be more objective (by my own standard). That's it.

So it went from Cristiano's remark about his team, his captaincy and how demotivating that statement could be to his team mates to discussing his injury, comparing with Messi, Fanboys (Ode) to Luft getting mad lol.

I still stand by what I said and no way do I see how saying that their team is average is motivating, Turson.

Where is the self belief? Where is the confidence to stand up and do your best for your country and believe you can do it?

It doesnt make any sense and that along with his on field rants makes Cristiano a very bad fit for captaincy IMO.

Messi and Cristiano are their team's star players, but that doesnt necessarily make them good captains.

DonAK, my comment was not directed at you.

CR fanboy? Yeah right, I remain the only person on this planet wearing a number 7 jersey with "Cry Baby" printed on it. :party1:

Its true that neither player is a natural leader and should never be captain just because they are the best players. Messi is too introvert and Ronaldo is to narcistic to be captainl.

Maybe you should actually follow on the chat and his thread around here, before making these sweeping comments? I get you dislike fanboys, who doesnt.... but at the moment, there are almost none of them here. The amount of shit Messi gets on this forum is unreal.

I mean please.......

Thats not the case.

Messi gets massive support on here and I would guess that just about everyone would say he is the best player of all time.

However some people cant accept any criticism towards him and take it as a huge insult as if he is free from any negative comment whatsoever.

Basically this.

Best Captain I have ever witnessed in the long time I've lived and breathed football btw is.... Carles Puyol. Seriously.

Isn't he the best of all time? Nothing wrong with the support, he is the club legend and a great person.

I agree with the last sentence though, people tend to be very sensitive on here.

Yes for me he is the best of all time but not immune to people having a free say on him.

And cut Ronaldo some slack. Whether he is 100% fit or not I don't know, but the reality is he just came off of an injury and he is not 100% in form.
How does Ronaldo deserve to be cut some slack? Whatever he does pretty much always flies away without looking too much into it but when Messi does it he's slaughtered by the press and pretty much everyone.

Ronaldo plays like crap and people ask to cut him some slack, Messi underperforms and he is being called names and whatnot.

yeah he owned the record, also because Leo Messi never wants to play all games :rolleyes:

The Leo Messi fanboys/fangirls on this forum is genuinely unbearable these days, far worse than it ever was



True indeed

Nothing beats your anti Messi crusade though. 3 years going strong.

Messi is shit. Messi should be sold etc.

Hats off to that fair and constructive critisism which has been going around here for a while now.
