You mean Rivaldo? That's how Brazil won all their World Cup's, with stacked teams.

Rivaldo+Ronaldo+Ronaldinho+Kaka: 5 Ballon d'Ors, 1 WC Golden Ball, 2 CA MVP.
Messi @28: 5 Ballon d'Ors, 1 WC Golden Ball, 1 CA MVP.

Messi 1 WC Golden ball, 1 CA MVP, 5 Ballon d'Ors, Pending World Cup trophy

Too much numbers, way too much Madrid fan posting here some pics trying to undermine Messi is the last thing we need in an appreciation thread. Just stop it Harmonica, this is getting beyond ridiculous.

And pls go. You really feel the need to post about Messi while CR's thread remains dead silent. I think I know why mate

Rico (Athletic) - "Goal Messi in cup final? Many said I had to foul him. I did kick him though, but I almost fell myself while he kept going."

[Myesyats]

This is what impressed me right away as well. Rico kicked him but he kept going and didnt lose momentum at all

Majority of those against much weaker opposition than others, half the goals against Luxembourg, Iceland, Finland and Norway.

Well.. nothing wrong with scoring against scrubs. Messi does it aswell and I guess most other players with good stats do so, too.
The stats are still insane. If we take out friendlies he has 1.5 goals+assists/game and 1.1 in the wc+ec if I didn't make a mistake counting it. Not sure if there's a player who can top that.

Anyway I don't want to derail this topic. Thank you for the link.

Post away from freekick hat-trick.  

Sinisa>>>>Messi confirmed

[Harmonica]

And for my next magic trick I shall do a pirouette, and a nutmeg, and dribble 4 players.

[futbol]

Harmonica, didn't you want to keep a record of all the Refdrid decisions this season? Where is the thread? Handball penalty not given today to Barca.

[Harmonica]

Magic has higher priority than corruption.

[Bankz]

*ROFL*

[jibers]

Harmonica why was Messi so poor today? Real Madrid got denied a penalty and Suarez dived.

Pls respond.

[Harmonica]

Top5 dribbles against Bilbao in chronological order.

And for my next magic trick I shall do a pirouette, and a nutmeg, and dribble 4 players.

That would have been a sick sick goal.
