Re: Messi reaches 345 goals, the same amount as Maradona in his entire career
If Messi goats the next WC, you're absolutely right. But as i've said, this coming WC is critical for Messi's legacy. He will always be one of the best ever... but how far up requires WC domination like all the other top players. You can't be in the top 5 ever without WC glory. It's impossible.BarrileteCosmico wrote:What are you talking about? Argentina won the WC only 8 years ago, it would be nothing like CR taking Portugal to the title. Not to mention that Maradona was the team's star in 1982 when they were very clearly one of the favorites.Point is though, that Diego played as a AM in WC 1986 and scored 5 goals with 5 assists (2nd in goals as Lineker had 6 and tops in assists). He dominated the competition and carried the NT to WC glory despite the team not figuring amongst the favorites. To equate... it would have been like CR7 taking Portugal to a WC title in 2010. Similar positions in terms of expectations going into the tournament.
Messi has had an amazing club career. But you cannot take away what Maradonna did in WCs and what he did for an underdog Napoli. The guy was from another planet too.
Also Maradona was 26 in the 1986, when he played a WC at 22 he flopped, was man-marked out of the game and had very little effect. I'm not taking anything away from him, but if Maradona were 25 today and had only won what he had won by age 25 there would be no question of who is better.

Scored more goals, has won more prices, has won more ballon d'or. People still say he needs to 'prove' himself In a WC that quality wise is less then CL? Messi is going to GOAT the next WC - argentina is going win without a doubt.

Harmonics if you don't think Maradona was the most important player on that Napoli team then ask the Neapolitan faithful who literally hold in the same regard as Gesu Christo.

The Ballon D'Or at that time was only eligible for Europeans so Maradona could not have won it. Not that the award means anything, anyway.Scored more goals, has won more prices, has won more ballon d'or.

Don't talk about things that happened before you were born, at least to someone who watched it at the time.juveman17 wrote:Harmonics if you don't think Maradona was the most important player on that Napoli team then ask the Neapolitan faithful who literally hold in the same regard as Gesu Christo.
La Republica is another publication who didn't value Maradona's performance the best in Napoli 86-87.
And when you watch this table, you see that his influence in 86-87 was nothing special. 89-90 on the other hand was, and which both La Republica and Gazetta agreed that Maradona's perfomance was the best.
Messi's this season will be more influential than anything Maradona did in Napoli though.

Maradona was eligible for Onze d'Or, which he won two times. Messi has already 3, the most http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onze_d'OrBarrileteCosmico wrote:The Ballon D'Or at that time was only eligible for Europeans so Maradona could not have won it.

Stop talking about a country with which you are unfamiliar about. I've been to Naples and I have countless cousins who praise Maradona and love him like a god. Stats are sometimes deceiving but you can't understate his importance to the fans and the club.

No, I understand all that.

Re: Messi reaches 345 goals, the same amount as Maradona in his entire career
Look Messi is a great player, blah, blah, blah, blah... but your anti-everyone who is compared to Messi bias is absolutely trite.
What I'm saying is that you don't have to fling mud at every other player just to prove your point. It got boring really fast and has become more and more ridiculous in every thread since to the point where your bias diminishes the strength of whatever arguments you make.
It's quite obvious that you will say anything to make the achievements of past greats seem like lesser accomplishments compared to Messi. And I'm not suffering from any nostalgia.
Messi is in all likelihood the greatest player of all time, however, quoting the number of ballon d'ors he has won, bringing up tables of statistics to compare players in different eras and resorting to outright slander really doesn't help you out.
That's the funny thing, everyone knows Messi is great, but these types of threads make people hate him and his fanboys.
I think that more people would bother reading, and actually post in threads about Messi if it didn't all come down to this rubbish.
What's wrong with just saying "that's a fantastic achievement for Messi to reach 345 goals, the same amount as Maradona in his entire career" and leaving it at that?!

I'm objective kind of guy, I have little sentimentality. If talking about logical reality and honest truth is flinging mud to everyone, then so be it. It just proves nostalgia, and the point how old legends are romanticized.Forza wrote:What I'm saying is that you don't have to fling mud at every other player just to prove your point.

Barcelona Fankids, please dont ruin this otherwise interesting thread with childish remarks, you can still make a point without putting down the other poster, but i think its hard to knock some sense into some 13 year old wanna be forum legends

Re: Messi reaches 345 goals, the same amount as Maradona in his entire career
While its amazing, k still consider Maradona the better player, at least until Messi does something of note at international level.
Also, Messi (and Ronaldo) have taken goalscoring to a whole nother level yes, but it should be noted that the defending of this generation is laughable especially in La Liga, and even morsel when you compare this La Liga generation to the Serie A generation Maradona played against. I mean, you could probably name 10 defenders that Maradona played against that are better than anything Messi regularly plays against.
