cyderspaceman Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 How about this for an imaginary game. A team of Messis v a team of Ronaldos? Who would triumph? I prefer Messi as a player but I think Team Ronaldo would win. Taller defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 How about this for an imaginary game. A team of Messis v a team of Ronaldos? Who would triumph? I prefer Messi as a player but I think Team Ronaldo would win. Taller defence. Obviously a team of Messis would win it quite easily. The Ronaldos wouldn't pass to each other and they'd get angry and fight amongst themselves when one of the other Ronaldos managed to score a goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The question isn't, ''Who is the better player: Messi or Ronaldo?''. The question is, ''Is Messi the best player of ALL-TIME?''. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 You have entirely mistaken the tone of my posts, much like you did with the Hibs supporter in the top 20 clubs thread yesterday. I'm not actually angry that somebody thinks Messi is as dreamy as Ronaldo, just disappointed. Hope this clears things up for you. I've seen your posts in the gambling forum, you are quite clearly seething in almost all of them. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Saints Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Not on this thread if you refer back to the OP. I meant that this is what the question should be. Ronaldo is a classless individual who shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as the great Lionel Messi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I think the saints poster may well have taken the angriest poster on P&B award off of DA Baracus. I fear you're mistaken. He's trying to take Supras's place as Misc Football's resident bore. Doing it fairly well tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Nobody to track back in team Messi. Standing with his hands on his hips watching Ronaldo run past him. Too small for the sticks and all.It's stunning you're still getting bites with bait this mundane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airdrie Onions Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Who'd be funner on a night out though? I reckon Messi, think Ronaldo would be too busy away pulling supermodels. Messi would be up for more banter imo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Messi doesn't track back, and nor should he. That's pretty factual.Whereas Cristiano is famed for his defensive prowess and team-first attitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Fyvie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Messi doesn't track back, and nor should he. That's pretty factual. Wut. Messi tracks back a fair bit. You're obviously too busy watching Ronaldo play second fiddle to the GOAT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The only person discussing their looks is you, and being a complete weirdo where that's concerned. Well that's not true, is it? I can't deny he's not aesthetically pleasing, it's just a damn shame he's had to spend thousands of pounds/dollars/euros to get there. Even the wee cutie Leo was just born naturally, cute. Can we not just agree they're both dreamy as f**k? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Messi is starting to look quite cool these days IMO. Ronaldo just looks like the boy that stands infront of the mirror at the gym and uses to much Wet Look Brylcreem 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airdrie Onions Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Imagine thinking either are anywhere near Mark Whatley though (in ability and looks) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 He's much more useful defensively than Messi. It's a hypothetical situation which would suit Ronaldo much more as he's a better athlete. It doesn't really add to the debate over who is better or who is better looking though. This one's easy: "Messi’s defensive contributions are greater than ever. Messi has 40 tackles this season with a tackle rate of 58.8 percent (high for a striker), compared with Ronaldo’s 10 tackles and 38.5 percent rate. Messi also had 16 interceptions to Ronaldo’s four.5 While defensive stats in soccer are limited, what we do have for Messi was already perfectly adequate for a high-volume striker, and for 2014-15, his “defensive plays made per opponent possession” is now in the upper echelon of his cohort." ... Of course, the broader Ronaldo/Messi debate rages on, and in the abstract, I don’t want to take sides. They’re both outrageous outliers who play very different styles, and they’re both so deep in the zone of incomprehensibility that perfect knowledge of their true value is likely impossible: On the other hand, insofar as we have created statistical metrics to compile and measure our observations, they pretty much side with Messi: He scores more goals, shoots more efficiently, gets more assists, passes more aggressively, passes more accurately, and more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 At least you've basically given up on any sort of serious argument that Ronaldo is better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
