So Messi had 82% importance in Argentina not winning the WC?

I don't see a single Defender or Goalkeeper on that list.

Invalid.

why is Ronaldo in red

Ronaldo should be black. maradona should be red

we will need this thread after 3 years. it will be dead by tomorrow

(WC Final distance covered with walking)

Messi-100%

This is so boring

Wake me up when this kid is less obsessed with Messi.

Involvessi..

Messis been a starter at two world cups. Do the same for Maradona taking 1986 and 1990 then he was involved in 16 out of 19 goals, ie 84%.

oh boy at first this "involvement" or "importance" thing was funny as it gave everyone a good laugh when we needed it. but its outlived its usefulness and has gotten dull, boring, and even quite disturbing. Quit it

LOL

no yellow player?

It's not Gerd Müllers fault his team didn't manage to score so few goals.

Roque Junior 7 (7 - 0 - 0) = 100% win

Pele: 12G + 8A in 14 matches

Is Klose the benchmark?
