Is Messi already a LEGEND ?
He is already up there amongst Barcelona's legends but can we consider him a football's legend atm ?

Re: Is Messi already a LEGEND ?
What's crazy is how young he is. I'm starting to think he's like one of the Central American's or Africans who come to the USA to play baseball/basketball and are always like 5 years older then they say they are to make the most money possible.
I mean what he's accomplished at the age of 24 is incredible. I mean he's been the best player in the world for 3 seasons now so in turn he was the best player in the world at age 20-21. It's just crazy.

R9? Is this a joke. Please don't put that mans name anywhere near Pele and Maradona. The man played for every top team and could not elevate them to any level. Messi isn't a legend simply because he is still too young. He will be though.

Re: Is Messi already a LEGEND ?
Id say he is the best player of the past few years, but not enough to be considered an all time legend. He really has to do something great, like win a World Cup. He is part of an already great Barca team, so he either has to take it to the next level (as wrong as that sounds), or just dominate for a bloody long time. Like, the next 4-5 years without anyone getting a sniff on him. Wont happen IMO.
Still a 'legend', but not worthy of an all time top 10 place.

Far as I know to be considered as a legend, you got to succeed in NT, something Messi has yet to accomplish.

So R9 is a legend for winning 1 WC then? Messi has been integral to winning THE HARDEST FOOTBALLING COMPETITION. He is breaking scoring records. Di Stefano, Cruyff and Puskas didn't win WC, are they not legends now?

Cruyff never won the WC. Isn't he considered a legend?
Never mind. Jibers got there first

Like Di Stafano, Cruyff, Laudrup, Baggio, Figo? This is ridiculous tbh. You people would say anything to discredit this man. Unbelievable.

And please dont say Argentina's NT is bad because its certainly better than most NTs from those guys you mentioned. bar Cruyff,and Bagio who was a penalty away from a WC in which he missed

To be honest, i can't see Argentine win this one anytime soon. there are teams like Germany, Spain, Holland that won't give the chance to Argentine to win this. cause they're simply better, doesn't matter if Argentine has the best player in the world.

Cruyff's Netherlands was at least a great team. and that's being modest

history tends to remember winners unless you are very charismatic player.
Like Cruyff. Messi will be remembered whether he wins with Argentina or not.
I don't say he'll be the world's best or anything close but he will be considered one of the greats

Wasnt Cruyff´s Holland mostly made up of the Ajax team that won the European cup?
Actually, that Dutch team was elite, the best team of the tournament. But lost in the final.
The best team doesnt always win, unfortunately.

No I think they where only like 4-5 players. Tha ajax team had disbanded, Cruyff was playing for Barca at that point. That team played some beautiful stuff, it has to be said.
