The GOAT continues to rewrite football history

[Byebyebtc]

And now mess has broken a record of the player with the most world cup goals is very impressive.
He missed a penalty and most people believed that it's because he doesn't want to break the record with a penalty, but Messi doesn't seem to be a type of person that is causious of the records his breaking according to Rodrigo De Paul, so I do feel he just missed the penalty and it is totally normal.

The biggest reason Messi is so good is that besides his talent, he's also a very good professional. He went to the US league, but he plays at a very high level in football.
Despite being 38 years old, he continues to break all the records.
It's also worth mentioning that if Ronaldinho hadn't retired from football at such a young age, Messi might not be as popular as he is today.
Messi is breaking records, but watching Ronaldinho is a completely different pleasure. He was at a unique level.

Messi it is an absolute player, What is the strenght that move him to make this type of match when he have nothing to demonstrate? A player of the first level, Sincce when I was child I ever seen a great player with incredible numbers. He can win a second world cup and in this case argentina and the football world will have definitively a new greatest of all time.

Ronaldinho's retirement has nothing to do with Messi's success. I am confused who told you that because it is not true. What's true is that Ronaldinho publicly said that the moment they saw Messi at the training session for the first time, everyone agreed that this kid is not normal and will have an extraordinary career. That sounds like quite the opposite of what you are saying. Messi had his place in the team no matter who his competitors were. He played with the best of the best and as soon as he had some experience in La Liga, he never really got taken off the field for substitution. He became untouchable in no time and now the question is still there why you think that Ronaldinho's retirement had an impact on Messi's career.

It doesn't matter because Ronaldinho played as a left winger at times while Messi could play a variable offensive position. He starts as a right winger, but when you watch him playing precisely, you will realize that he changes position very often throughout any match. He would have prevailed in any team on the planet no matter who his teammates or competitors would have been.

I believe that all Messi haters now will see that the talk about mess is not a hype but real. That he is the best player among the two because still giving out this type of performance at this level at his age alone should tell you that he is a different and unique player which has created records that, will take decades to be equaled by others who will be coming after him. It's just a shame seeing Ronaldo struggle with his team while Messi and his team are already in the second round of this competition.

I also see L. Messi as an easy going dude who isn't really that much interested in what the record says or in competition with anyone, he knows that he's good at what he does, he does it and I believe that's enough for him. So far, there's no doubt that that Messi has won the title of the most outstanding player, and of course the GOAT judging by the two games he's featured in the world cup, but i guess we'll see whether he'll continue in the same spirit or not, the competition has only started and more thrills are yet to unfold.

Maybe Messi was impressed by the importance of the moment, that he would become the top scorer in the World Cups of all time?
In any case, this is a truly great achievement for Messi and another argument in the endless debate about the greatest footballer in the history of football.
However, I have a feeling that this record will not last long and that Mbappe could surpass it already in the next World Cup.
Honestly, I expected a lot more from Ronaldo but he was bad in the last World Cup in Qatar and continues the same way in this World Cup.
Messi is a much fitter and better player at the moment and makes the difference on the pitch.

My friend, I'm not comparing Ronaldo and Messi. Messi is better than Ronaldo. Their achievements and successes show this.
I was referring to Ronaldinho being very different and how his career ended too early due to his lack of attention to his private life.
Messi has more than proven himself to the world. With his recent accomplishments, I think he's put an end to the Ronaldo-Messi comparison.

Guys, you can argue all the time whether Lionel Messi is the GOAT or not, but just look at his latest performance:

https://youtu.be/Mt9Xj1_Y0eg?si=xWC_0iZzP0JambU9

Isn't it beautiful? You can look at a sunset, an old cathedral, or a coral reef and be amazed by its beauty, but you can also watch Messi score a goal and be equally amazed.

Doesn't this goal Messi scored look a lot like the one he scored for Barcelona in El Clásico?

https://youtu.be/jCITfDozWGo

This goal was Messi's 500th goal for Barcelona, and the goal he scored against Austria also made him the all-time leading scorer in World Cup history. Both are incredible.

Well I guess we can agree that as far as the World Cup so far is concerned Messi is still the GOAT. Starting the competition with a hat trick and almost scoring another hat trick on the second game. Messi is truly incredible and there’s no argument about that, he’s an exceptional player, but the truth still remains there are other exceptional players too but so far in this competition, Messi has the title of the best.

[beerlover]

Being able to score two more after already scoring 3 more is huge. This dude should have been above 20 goals by now if he didn't started hat badly. In 2006 and in 2018, he scored only single goals, if he was capable of playing like he normally does, that should have been at least 4-5 goals there, and that 3-4 goal difference in two cups means 6-8 more goals already, on top of that he will most certainly score more in this one as well.

I think 2014 was fine, 4 goals, that's normal, and last one was 7 goals, which is huge. So I think he could have been 25 goals or so by the end of this if he didn't had problems in that two cups. Sometimes you get unlucky, normally he should have bene higher. Another thing is, I think Mbappe will break it next cup without much sweat to be fair.

Messi's penalty missed was pure coincidence and as fate would have he still made up for his mistakes by scoring a brace for the Argentinian side.

The Argentine captain is probably the most outstanding player in the tournament for now, with five goals to his name making him the leading goal scorer alongside Kylian and Erling Haaland with four goals to their names,

Messi has also set another new record by becoming the player with the highest goals in the world cup history with just two games played.

Haha Mess has really broken records and has broken a record of most goals in worldcups, messi in my opinion is the best to ever grace this sport and not just my opinion but many other people’s opinion too. Messi was continuously criticised for being an international flop and not winning anything to the point he even considered retiring but god knows who motivated him to play further and the result is infront of us, now he has won 2 copas 1 worldcup and is favorite to win another worldcup. Sometimes being good doesn’t mean you will always achieve what you want, you have to suffer in order to be remembered in history.

Have you gotten to a certain stage in life whereby regard disappointed by the greatest of all time in football, you should not forget that we are all human beings and anything is bound to happen, sometimes disappointments are inevitable because it goes beyond to just what we can control when it is bound to happen, this is where we should always prepare for the worst while we expect the best to come.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Okay, can you list several ways FIFA has helped lionel Messi , I want to understand the favoritism most of you guys talked about, did FFa help him to win the world cup? Or did FIFA tell Touchmeni to miss his pk. Or was it FIFA that helped Morocco to knock your Goat country in the Quarter finals. I don't just understand what is the problem with you rival fans because Whenever Lionel Messi achieves something, you guys always look for ways to find fault. Bring your evidence of the favoritism, because the whole world watch the world cup yet it's only rival or Ronaldo fans that is having issues with it. He doesn't need your appreciation, he doesn't even know you, so go stick with your goat.

If you don't even realize how they helped Messi in the last World Cup, it means you didn't even watch it. Try searching on YouTube; there are many videos showing how they helped Messi, or rather, how many penalties they awarded Argentina at that time. I'm just giving my opinion here; I'm not trying to get Messi or CR7 to see what I'm saying. It's no secret that Infantino interfered to ensure Messi won the World Cup. If you can't see that, you can't say anything else, because there are things you simply don't see.

This unbelievable things that is happening now in the world cup is what is still getting all confused in this world cup now. Just after Messi did it in there first game we all thought it will end there without knowing Cristiano will get close to that in today's game which he did.
Before the start of this season all where doubtful on the performance of both world best players but just at the beginning of the tournament both have started proving there supremacy and consistency to the extent of even competing for the top scorers of the tournament just to show both are from a different world because of there level of experience.

Messi is being pushed by some influential lobbying groups, but Ronaldo is fighting almost single-handedly. Also, I would never compare Ronaldo to someone who has used growth hormone. Once a stem cell multiplies, muscle memory finds a way to return to that state more easily every time. In other words, one of these “rabbits” is a cheater, in every sense of the word. This topic is not about comparing Messi and Ronaldo, but in situations like this, it becomes necessary to address certain points...

The funny thing about our preparation is that you may but even know when the unexpected will happen to you but to avoid being disappointed you should expect anything at anytime because disappointments will happen but how you prepare for it will determine how ready you are. whatever that is happening now is expected and it shows you how humans forget things when what they expected to see doesn't happen as they expected.

[Rengga Jati]

Haha, even on this forum, I can see the debate between the fans and the two.
Beyond that debate, let's first talk about the number of goals they've scored, especially in the FIFA World Cup in the last two matches.

Messi with 5 goals in 2 matches
Ronaldo with 2 goals

This isn't the end; the matches are still ongoing, and each player can still add to their goal amounts.

Messi  vs Ronaldo
