Messi or Ronaldo - Who's best

[David McKeown]

I went to college in Texas.  After three months there I did my first exam in one of my classes.  When I got the paper marked the professor had written on it that I did really well considering the obvious language barrier.  Three months talking in the class and he thought I didn't speak English.  So its not that uncommon

All non-Americans at the New Orleans university, Tulane had to take a non-credit English class (including not just Irish, but Canadians and Englanders).  So yeah, not uncommon.  My teacher told me I had done almost as well as a native speaker on the initial exam.

I think the past year has probably settled this debate in Messi's favour.

A world Cup and 8 Ballon d'Ors.

I see a few posts on social media saying that he didnt deserve this one. Maybe if the WC was in the summer they'd remember it better.

That is the end of the Messi and Ronaldo domination of the Ballon d'Ors.  It's wide open for the next few years.

English girls complaining they couldn't go as they were preparing for a match... Jesus!! It's a fixed to insure that most people can attend, not everyone!

Aye they would have been missed at it too. The English media have filled them full of shite and their own self importance after a couple of decent tournaments.

You would think Haaland, Mbappe, and possibly Bellingham will win a few of them over the next 5 or so years

Haaland and Bellingham looking good for them for the next few years, Mbappe would need to go to a proper club

Massive in the Leagues cup too.... probably clinched it for him

I wouldn't put great heed on D'ors, didn't deserve two of them, couldn't make the French league team of the year, 2022/23. We basing it on scoring alot in the USA or scoring 1 goal from play in the world cup.

Or you know, being the best player in the World Cup by a country mile.

And for what it's worth, he scored 3 from play in the World Cup, not 1.

Didn't deserve 2010,(Sneijder) 2019 (Van Dijk) or 2021 (Lewandowski) for me. This one very debatable Haaland obviously far better overall but Messi did have a good world cup. At the end of the day its a load of boys voting for their mates half them wouldn't have a clue about football.

Definitely deservedly 2010.
