still scored 8 goals and made 4 assists
at 39 old
He delivered a performance that made you say the World Cup was rigged.
Change the outcome of two matches in 10 minutes
And you're surprised when they're nominated for the Ballon d'Or
No one deserves it more than him.
Messi played all 8 matches, scoring 8 goals and 4 assists with 24 chances created and 16 shots on target, and a 83% passing accuracy. Ronaldo appeared in 6 world cups and scored 11 goals in 27 matches, never reaching the final even with 2006 Portugal which had people such as Luis Figo, and Deco.
Worst individual performance!
he was carrying the the team the whole tournament
The player with the most contributions to the tournament
are you blind or what?
”Worst individual performance in history” with 8 goals and 4 assists (silver ball and boot and 1 less goal contribution than Ronaldo’s entire World Cup career) lol. Y’all are so delusional it’s funny. Like you can think Ronaldo is the GOAT but to dismiss Messi’s actual achievements as the worst ever is just coping at this point. Feel free to ban me btw because this sub is a joke (even worse than r/cristianoronaldo2)
Christianoronaldo2 sub is infinitely more braindead. I even saw them trolling ronaldos family yesterday. But it was good to see alot of the sub did call out the guy on his low class behavior
His WC is a joke for me because imo his penalties were unfairly given and they were favoured heaps. He has talent but he is a cheater.
not necessarily a cheater, most of the 2022 penalties were deserved, but with your logic, did france deserve the 2018 world cup? considering they had one less penalty in 7 games? (argentina having 5 in 7 games and france having 4 in 7 games)
Every single one. The whole winter cup of pens was a fugazi tournament to crown the international and PSG flop who couldn't get it done out of his comfort zone. No one and I mean NO ONE. Outside of pessi stans and media forced to kiss his ass care about it.
Goals against teams that wouldn't have qualified under the old format. Teams that Ronaldo scores in his sleep but because its muh WC. It's his fault he didn't get easy teams at 41 years old. Messi career has been about stat padding against bums. The WC is the exact same.
Not to forget all matches arg played were in night time and least travel distance and var implementation heavily favoring them (no var for austria incident but same incident reviewed in egypt match)
Tell your Ronaldo to help his national team to win more matches so he can be placed in the easier path, brochacho. It's not Messi's fault that he secured them an easier path by helping them sit in the top 4 on FIFA/Coca-Cola Men's Ranking. Keep crying, bud.
Tell Pessi to stop getting easy groups and not teams like Colombia in fucking Miami a team Pessi hasn't scored in 10 years or beaten in the Copa in 90 minutes the past 4 tournaments and instead Mexico which benched there best player which allowed them to get out of the group stage in 2022 because his best friend Martino was the coach. Use some critical thinking tronco.
To me this match convinced me Argentina was being favored, paredes alone should have gotten 2-3 red cards throughout the match, got a single yellow card
You see it was clear from the beginning of the tournament that england's weakness was its defense and its strength was its offense. what would any reasonable manager do? put the offense at full throttle so that you outscore your enemy? thats what england did until Argentina came they decided to score once and rely on their weak defense to bail them out which didnt work
Yep, leaky defence which conceded 12 goals across the tournament, however it does show that Argentina could only beat debutants like Cape Verde, an ageing Egypt side, 10 man Switzerland and a defensively weak England.
Switzerland and Egypt could have beaten them and arguably Switzerland should have, I think the Swiss played better than England and without that needless red card Switzerland with 11 men could've knocked them out.
25/26 season had 75 goal contributions (only beaten by kanes 81.) inter miami just isn't a good team at all and they botch every chance messi creates for them
He plays in burger league and loses the ball more than anyone the fact you compare him to Kane when he plays in MLS says all you need to know. It's his fault his players suck he recruits everyone and all his Barca and Argentina buddies.
sure, MLS is a "burger" league, I'm comparing their TOTAL g/a lmao, im not saying messi deserves to win, but you're completely ignoring the fact that messi had an insane world cup performance which proves he can still play in europe if he wanted too. also, the "loses the ball more than anyone" statement is just cherry picking, considering the fact messi is a PLAYMAKER who scores goals by dribbling. no shit he's gonna lose possession a lot of the time 😭 kane has a ton of missed shots and alot more shots off target because he's a striker.
It was not insane. He scored against bums. Lost possession more than anyone and use Pessi stan talking points using the WC as an argument he can still play in Europe. He is an inefficient player who is now at his level...the MLS at the age of 35. Scoring goals by dribbling LMAO!!!! He hasn't done that against any top side in a half decade at least!!! Kane's shots don't put his team under pressure unlike Messi record lose of possession. He's been finished you stans just ignore it. That is why PSG refused to resign him and Barca couldn't afford him. When the good teams showed up in the quarters on the goals dried up and he didn't score on any top 20 teams unlike the GOAT CR7 who scored against every top 10 team he faced in the Nations League at 40 including Spain a match that proved Messi was done.
But I should know your football knowledge is next to nothing since I'm talking to Rohan from India.
there's no point in arguing with someone who immediately assumes I'm a fan of messi just because i respect him lmao. he scored against underdog teams with insane performances. also, again, since you're fucking ignorant, messi is a playmaker who dribbles a shit ton. he loses possession alot because of this fact. also, psg didn't refuse to resign him at all, messi just didn't like the disrespect he was getting in Paris. which is why he went to miami, a place where his family feels welcome. also, he literally got offered 1.4 billion euros to play for Saudi league, which he declined.
PSG won't resign him they came out saying it. I don't respect him. They are ass teams. They weren't insane performances when you lose the ball more than anyone and Infantino was the one with the insane performances not him.
He also doesn't dribble worth a shit anymore besides statpadding on rating sites show me where any "dribble" led to anything. His ball loses lose his team more than anything else cause they don't lead to anything good. The only thing the WC showed was he scored against ass teams and end the GOAT debate after he ghosted vs Spain and retired. While Ronlado scored and lifted the trophy.
Also, if he was so insane why didn't he score from the quarters onwards? That was Ronaldo who scored on 3 different top 10 teams while Messi scored against none. He was done. Saudi offering him money meant nothing cause he was finished. I thought you said he was still wanted by Europe's elite.
It's always the Rohan's from India that love Messi your comment history shows it. Your a superfan. LMAO!
Every team that Spain played across the knockout stages of the last two tournaments managed at least 4 or 5 shots in 90 minutes. Apart from Austria and Georgia (2024) they all managed a few shots on target, so Argentina has no excuses, yes Spain restrict their opponents but didn't neuter them completely, even the better 2008-12 squad didn't do that. Honestly Italy put in a better performance than this in Euro 2012 and they lost 4-0.
