Firstly he not only scores a ridiculous amount of goals each season over 30 goals on average a season he also provides assists and creates goals for his team mates. He is technically suberb he can shoot and score from distance, he has all round passing range, he can dribble and accelarate past players with ease. Lastly he also works hard to defend for the team.


He has Won major trophies at a young age. Champions League the highest level of Football.


There have been other great players in recent years however can you say they could do what Messi does actually score so many goals as well as create so many too each season?

    You don't know anything about Football you American. Anyone that knows Football knows Messi has won major honors is regarded as the best by his peers players who actually came againist him and has been voted Player of the World by Managers and players more than once.

    Name a player that isn't an Out and Out Centre Forward that has scored 162 goals in 211 apperances?


    Then actually name even 3 actual out and Out Strikers that have a goal scoring record as amazing as that? it's more than 1 goal every 2 matches


    Then while maintaing that goal scoring record name a Player that also provides as many assits as Messi?


    Then name a Player with all those credentials that wins major trophies while scoring so much, assiting so much with out even being a number 9 typical Striker?



    Only 1 that comes close is Ronaldo

    Then name anything Messi can't do aside from tackle and name anything he isn't 10/10 at aside from tackling?


    Passing, Shooting, dribbling, ball control, heading, vision, goal scoring. What is he missing as a player? does everything a Play Maker/Attacking player is suppose to as good as you can get really


    Rooney is great but he can't dribble like Messi nor does he have the speed Messi has, Zidane is great but he never had anywhere near the amount of goals scored ratio as Messi or speed, Scholes is great but he can't dribble like Messi nor did he have the amount of goals ratio as Messi, Brazilian Ronalso was great but he didn't have anywhere near the amount of assists or passing ability or the same level of long range shooting ability as Messi.



    Gerrard is a more complete Player cos he can actually defend like a word class player and attack like a word class player can do everything Messi can but also tackle well but again Gerrard has no where near the games played to goals ratio as Messi.

    Best right now...I'll give you that and I could see an argument for Cristiano Ronaldo being made as well.

    Best all time? Idk about all that...see how his career pans out.


    But look at the past great players legends with out doubt but they had missing links in their game Pele had an outstanding brain, was a creator of goals, scored himself, ridiculous skill. However can you say Pele could dribble and accelerate and dribble like Messi with the same speed while still having the end product to score or assist?


    There isn't a weakness in Messi he can shoot from 30 yards and hit the top corner of the goal and score, he can dribble with immense speed past 6-7 players, he can play 20 yard defence splitting passes, he can score free kicks from 20 yards out, he can score headers, he is a great finisher inside the box, his firs touch is sp presice.


    You have to look at it like this some of the best out and out Strikers like Shearer, Ronaldo (Brazilian), Henry, Owen etc didn't have a goals to games played ratio like Messi and Messi isn't even a typical number 9 Striker.

    In the World Cup you have weak nations though while in the Champions League majority of teams are of high quality and in that competition Messi has dominated for years already wion 2 Champions League trophies.


    Look at what happened in 2004 Greece won the European Championship but can you say that was a good team let alone great? no


    Also can you say Messi has ever had an average World Cup? no cos he may not have won it but his performances in 2006 and 2010 were good but i'm sure he will win it 1 day.

    Messi ain't even a top 3 player of the last 15 years

    Ronaldo Brazil, Ronaldinho, and Zidane were all more skilled than that one foot mf

    Messi hasn't done ? on his national team and don't give me no ? about having teammates either because last time i check Maradona won a world cup damn near by himself. Messi ain't ? ? without Iniest and Xavi, beat up on that weak ass La Liga competition and kick pk's all day because they get preferential treatment from the refs.

    Only reason why lame ass scream Messi is the best is because he puts up pointless stats and we live in the information era. If Pele and Maradona era was televised like this era those dudes would be approached like gods.

    Until Messi does something outside of Barca and playing on the most loaded club in football i don't care. Atleast Christiano Ronaldo balled in the EPL, i doubt Messi would get half the ? pk's he gets in Barca with the EPL physical style of play.

    The fact you said it's "weak teams" in the World Cup makes your argument weaker for Messi being the best EVER. He hasn't been able to lead Argentina to anything. In the Champions League, he's with Barcelona, one of the most talented teams in the world.

    Since when is Football just about skill? what good is fancy park skills over actual goal scoring ability that Messi has


    What good is a fancy kick up over actually having the technique to strike the ball into the goal from 30 yards? what good is fancy freestyle tricks over actually playing a 40 yard defence splitting pass and providing an assist for ya team mate?


    When did Ronaldo ever score many goals from distance outside the box and strike ? into the top corner like Messi or have anywhere near his passing ability? Messi scored more goals than Ronaldo at this stage of games played too.


    Since when did Zidane score over 20 goals a Season let alone close to 50?


    Jesus Football ain't for you mate you sound like a kid.


    And even with skill you wrong Messi dribbles past players than all the players you named.


    Football is about stats you idiot the goals you score and assists you provide win your team matches, triphies Jesus how ? are you lol


    Srtick to NFL

    And since when have Zidane or Ronhaldino ever played in England SMH.


    And you obviously don't watch Football or need ya eyes tested did you see the penalty Ashley Young got? the countless players that dive in England and some of the penalties they get


    Messi doesn't dive and majority of his goals are from open play you idiot


    Jesus next you gonna say Frank Lampard is better than Paul Scholes or Theo Walcott is better than Gerrard.

    Dude just shut the ? up, Pele averaged a goal a game for his entire career and this is in the era where the Brasilian league was at it's peak and the great South American players weren't running to Europe. Pele played in a much more physical and dirtier era, these ? pk's that Messi is getting wouldn't fly in Pele's era.

    As for speed and skill, Pele was the Bo Jackson of his era, dude was far superior to his peers. Messi is a one foot one dimensional ass player, all the mf does is go left and depends on precision passes from Iniesta, Xavi,etc. Dude might be a good scorer but he is far from skilled.

    Wait till Neymar come to La Liga, bet he ? on all of Messi's records and do it with more skill.
