Earlier today I put up a post saying congrats to Ronaldo for winning Ballon D'or.

My mate Lakerville said that he thinks Messi is better than Ronaldo, and as much as I respect his opinion (and I do), I think Lakerville is wrong, lol.

Opinions please people, who is best in your opinion, Ronaldo or Messi? And why?

I think Messi is better, Ronaldo deserved it for last year though.

Hey there DG,

I was just having the same discussion with a friend lol. Personally, I have a hard time comparing different players that play in different positions. For me, Messi can do things that Ronaldo cannot do, and Ronaldo can do things that Messi cannot do. For me, it comes down to which one you prefer; I think Ronaldo is the more explosive and powerful player which I like, but you can't make a bad choice.

Both are just sensational players and it is a real treat to watch them both.

Congrats to CR7.

Peace,
Trinidad-Gooner

Dags,

if you put the world to vote you would still lose this one.

but still respect your opinion :0

Ronaldo - because basically, he can score from freekicks, headers, left foot, right foot, he can score from forty yards, he's quick and can dribble. Messi is the better dribbler and can score for fun but can't do power headers, long shots, and isn't a free kick taker. Ronaldo is the complete footballer.

Messi for me. Even though Ronaldo is better in the air I prefer Messi because I love the way he takes on the opposition with the ball at his feet without any space like a ski slalom. Neither can wipe Bendtners a*se though.

As a manager which one would keep you awake most trying to decide how to stop him?
For me it would be Ranaldo as I feel if you put 8 on Messi he struggles at times

7.) 14 Jan 2014
For me would have to be Ronaldo. Take Messi out of barca and I can't see him being as huge. Ronaldo done it in prem getting lumps kicked out of him and in spain think he is different class a proper playboy but grrat footballer. Messi more of a role model wouldn't mind either tbh wiw ozil and Ronaldo

Laker, looking at the above posts its 2-2 lol

The only player giving anyone nightmares right now is suarez, not ronaldo or messi

10.) 14 Jan 2014
Messi all the way! dags gooner, lakerville, flybo. gooneres all the ways. but it's got to be messi

11.) 15 Jan 2014
Hi Trinidad, I totally agree mate, both are a joy to watch.

12.) 15 Jan 2014
I would say Messi over Ronaldo because although Ronaldo is a better player all around, I feel he lacks the ability to bring others into the game and contribute as a team player

13.) 15 Jan 2014
Messi because he is a magician. He glides past people with such ease, is a team player, very very good passer, can win games on his own (Ronaldo I believe needs much more service then messi). He is better then Ronaldo at free kicks(Ronaldo hits most of his high or into the wall).
Ronaldo is physically the complete footballer. But messi for me has a much bigger impact when playing.

14.) 15 Jan 2014
Messi. hands down.

15.) 15 Jan 2014
Dags it ended 5-2.

you did miss a few fence sitters but convincing display from team messi.

the worst bit is. I hate that midget for embarrassing us so many times.

lets hope draxler joins us and he can be the best player 10 years straight.

16.) 15 Jan 2014
For me it would have to go down to personality, they are both great footballers, sad I know! But I can't bear Ronaldo so therefore it's Messi.

17.) 15 Jan 2014
Laker, you win mate lol, fairplay.

18.) 15 Jan 2014
7-2, that was a trashing. lol. pointless convos do well. hahah

lets do a carlton cole vs chamakh vote.

lets see how many people can give a valid argument for who to pick

19.) 15 Jan 2014
Lol, I think that one will end up 0-0 mate.
