^thats great dribbling.. but i didn't realize how slow messi really is.. wow.
Great acceleration.. no pace

by Lord Awesome Thu May 31, 2012 1:28 pm

Exactly, Giggity. That's why Pepe is even able to handle Messi one on one. Laughing

Nope, not even close.

Prime-Ronaldo would have scored ~100 goals if he were in this Barca team.

I would say close to 150 in four seasons. But definitely somewhere between 100-150.

The guy scored 50 goals in one of the worst Barca teams ever at 19.

Yeah, and it was his best scoring season.

Because after that he went to Inter, in the hardest league in the world at that time.

And then he went to Galacticos, where he scored 30 goals couple times.

Ronaldo da Lima would outscore Messi bigtime if he ever played behind prime Iniesta/Xavi, no doubt.

After 2 injuries which kept him out of the field for 2 years.

PS : The galacticos team weren't playing for Ronaldo, they had a star team. Everybody wanted to shine, on the other hand the entire Barca team plays for Messi.

Yeah, Xaviesta assisted almost 10 of Messi's 73 goals. Laughing

forlan would outscore everyone if he still play with riquelme

by braylann Thu May 31, 2012 2:32 pm

i dont think so. On a shitty Barca team other teams wouldnt defend like they do now. I dont think Ronaldo could be as effective as Messi with two rows of defenders in front of him

This is sick. For a so called ''incomplete player'' to do this is just amazing. And its not just a one off, he does this several times in a month alone!! in addition u get shitloads of goals plus true proffesionalism thruought

How people say anyone currently playing is better than messi, is real mystery to me.

does anyone have the one vs viktoria pizen in the CL??

And Olivier Bierhoff outscored him in SerieA.
