Ronaldo or Messi?

December 5th 2010 11:46


Well Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have kept up their dominating performance in the Spanish Premier League. Each playered scored twice yesterday to raise their total's for the year to 16 for Ronaldo and 15 for Messi.

My question to you is who would you want on your team.



Ronaldo
Age 25
Position: Forward
assists; Five
Goals in La Liga: 16(14 matches played)
Goals in All matches this year: 23(30 matches played)
Goals last three years: 90(133 matches played)

Messi
Age 23
Position: Forward
Assists: 8
Goals in La Liga: 15(12 matches played)
Goals in all matches this year: 23(24 matches played)
Goals last three years:114(136 matches played)

Looking at the stats you would say Messi. Man i can't believe the last two years he has haved.

What do you think? Is their someone else to look at?

I really don't think you can compare players in soccer using statistics. You can do that in a sport like baseball and maybe in basketball and football; but soccer's only reliable statistic is Castrol.Castrol says Messi, but Castrol doesn't completely say the whole story. When you watch both players, they each play with different styles. Messi is a creative speedster that plays a "flow" kind of style with creative passing. Cristiano is a stronger player with a nose for the goal. On his national team, people say his performances are poor; but it is really because the players around him mess up his opportunities through stupid and selfish shots when Ronaldo is wide open. Yes Hugo Almeida, I'm talking about you. Great post man! Overall, I would take Messi slightly over Cristiano right now. If CR7 was at Man U where he was more of focal point, Messi would be numero dos.

Seen this argument a lot recently. For me, Messi everytime! Simply a better man, which gives him the edge. Gets on with his football, where as Ronaldo has his dark (diving) streak!

Dude ronaldo and messi had their own way of playing both players had some weaknesses like messi lacks some overall strength in air and had a small body frame whereas ronaldo lacks temparamant,but both have great eye for the goal and like to score and which matters most for their club and country but i vote is still for barca.
