Is that Suarez not passing it to Nerman at the 3rd one?

Why should he? One on one, chance to get his first goal. Never in a million years unless it's a cup final.

tbh i wouldn't take a poll that thinks zidane and ronaldo are better then pele seriously.

by Harmonica Tue Nov 11, 2014 8:58 am

Yeah, but it's Marca so obviously Cronaldo, Zidane and Di Stefano are overrated, but what does that say about Messi? hmm

by terrance511 Tue Nov 11, 2014 10:55 am

massive overrated? based on your logic

by Valkyrja Tue Nov 11, 2014 10:56 am

how is that ridiculous ? CR might end up ( if he's not already ) above ADS in the all time madrid rankings ffs.

Peaked? Dem crystal balls. Laughing

If he scores 5 more in this season, direction is again upwards.

by Hapless_Hans Thu Nov 13, 2014 1:59 pm

only 4 games left to play this CL season for Barca though, so he has to hurry :coffee:

by zigra Fri Nov 14, 2014 12:01 am

Don't want to look it up but isn't Leverkusen winning their group? That should be enough for his 5 goals :coffee:

Ronaldo and Messi are the two best players of all time without a doubt. When their careers are over we will see who will go down as #1 though. Still a lot of time left before that is set in stone.

aaahhhh..........yes, best players of all time that had 1 thing in common

consistence in failing to deliver in wc (at least had 1 good wc campaign, not only 1 match)

not 1 time, not 2 times, but 3 times already

best player in all time, but in another parallel world

(i'm talking about cronaldo)

RG, I was just going to post this.

The Most goal for Argentina is wrong though. Messi's at 45, need 9 more which he should easily get in the next year. Messi and Aguero, #1 & 2 as Top goalscorers for Argentina when it is all said and done Proud

by BarrileteCosmico Sat Nov 15, 2014 8:04 pm

Yeah he's not Argentina's top scorer, and if we only count non-friendly matches then I think he's way off. But he'll have 2 copa americas, 1 WC qualifier and 1 WC in the next 4 years so he'll have plenty of time to beat that too...

by Harmonica Sun Nov 16, 2014 7:35 am

Argentina all-time top scorers

56 Batistuta
45 Messi
35 Crespo
34 Maradona
24 Artime
23 Higuain
22 Aguero

In competitive games (no friendly, invitational or fixed)

38 Batistuta
26 Crespo
21 Messi
16 Higuain
15 Maradona
12 Aguero
11 Artime

Maradona and Messi are the only non-strikers on the list.

Argentina vs. Brazil (not all players listed)

Pele 8 goals from 18 team goals = 44% importance
Messi 5 goals from 8 team goals = 63% importance
Ronaldo 5 goals from 11 team goals = 45% importance
Rivaldo 4 goals from 13 team goals = 31% importance
Romario 1 goals from 2 team goals = 50% importance
Maradona 1 goals from 5 team goals = 20% importance

Messi will probably be all-time top scorer in this rivalry also.

Self delusion...AGAIN!!!God knows where u fish out clueless stats from, Infact i doubt if you knows what those mean even. Thought messi only scored 5 wc goals and 2 copa america goals?..anything to make messi relevant at this point.

Pretty sure the qualifiers would count as competitive matches and explain the difference.
