C-Amber Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 12 minutes ago, thismoment said: he’s not “way older”, he’s only 2 years older than him. the only valid argument that can be made is that portugal’s national team has never been on the same level as argentina’s. The 2 years in football in crazy different. The 38 is way different than 35. At 35 Ronaldo was in Juventus and broke scoring records, at that year 2020 Ronaldo stats were even bigger than Messi who was 33! That year Ronaldo had 51 G/A in 45 games for Juventus and National Team, in tough defensive club Juve and Serie a. Both are good players but, that did similar numbers when they were at same age, but the biggest difference is Portugal and Argentina squad and history, Argentina is way ahead and helped Messi greatly, Portugal in other hand is 2nd tier nation that was never competitive till Ronaldo came.

When Ronaldo did nothing the entire World Cup while Messi practically carried Argentina in most games? Portugal 2nd tier nation with this current squad?? They had arguably the 3rd best squad in this WC only losing to France and Brazil.

Mr. Duff Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Not really, I like Ronaldo but I feel like he went downhill as he got older, Messi just kept on being great and the WC sealed the deal on his legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player like Dybala is their backup because the amount of good talent players they have in front Bruno Fernandes is good and ****, sometimes giving amazing games other times awful till the point for years ManU fans wanted him out, Diogo Costa never played in high level in national, he actually rarely played because they always used Rui Patrício. Pepe is like 40!!! How the hell you think he'll do at that age? You think footballers are superhuman or what? Most retired at age 35 because they can't give, same as Pepe, he give it all and he's mistakes are alot, he even barely played with Porto this season from Injury and being old, João Félix has been so bad that he's even turn to sub player for Atletico Madrid, Rafael Leão is the actually a great winger/attacker but the coach rarely used him, only after 85 minutes he'll let him in. The Ramos guy showed up one game then disappeared. Argentina was and still the better team with better overall talent and experience, they have the history as well, while Portugal in other hand was never a top national team till Ronaldo generation came, before that nobody even cared about them, they'll show one or two great players once every 10 years and that's it, they are not competitive top nation throughout the history like Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Italy, Spain (then appeared on the last 15 years) and France.

They acting as if Portugal won everything before and the most successful nation, when in fact they were like Czech or Switzerland who bring good player once every decade.

Good comparison Messi, mbappe, Neymar all have the luxury of being from powerhouse nations that they can thrive in. Before them and after them. Ffs, we’re comparing Argentina to a nation that hardly ever *qualified* for the WC before ronaldo. It’s ironic because only reason they even speak of portugal with these teams nowadays is because of him. If Messi was Paraguayan or Bolivian I doubt he’d be holding the same trophy right now. And that’s not me taking away from his brilliance.. but apparently the OP would. It’s a shame, bc legends get overlooked that way.Imagine if George Weah played for France? If Eusebio was Brazilian?
