CR7 is now , without argument, the undisputed best player in the WORLD.
I didnt see him quit on Portugal , a much shittier team. Hell you didnt even see ibra quit on Sweden. Messi is a little bitch ass nigga. He can never go back home. PUSSY
>>68978880
But Ibra just quit Sweden, stupid Ameritard
>>68978880
Fuck ameritards are the most retarded shitpostrers on /sp/ when it comes to football.
can you imagine if Portugal win the euros? massive shitstorm
>>68978920
Yeah at the age of 35. Messi quit on Argentina in his prime years.
This is worse than lebron quitting on cleveland
>>68979002
Eric Cantona quit in his prime too, but nobody shits on him for that.
TSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
>>68978996
lol i want this to happen now
no one ever expects Portugal to do anything, Penaldo literally has a free ride. The country has absolutely no sporting history, and you can see where Messi comes from after losing 3 finals in 3 years. He just wants to fuck off from the AFA, who don't even have a president right now and are at risk of being internationally banned from participating in sporting events anyway. Argentina doesn't deserve Messi.

TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
portugal will probably be a better player if he retires
that's the difference to messi
>>68979345
What?
>>68979345
Portugal better player
What the fuck Hans?
>>68978981

>>68979841
Not him but Messi carries a team to finals. Portugal gets to semis despite Ronaldo not because of him.
Ronaldo never was and will never be able to even remotely compare to Messi. He is trash compared to him, a nobody without ability, an untalented hag who only wins things when he gets an easy run. It isnt a coincidence that Real only wins CLs in a year of WC/EC, and it isnt a coincidence that Donaldo got piss easy draws in this years CL and EC season.
Ronaldo is nothing but a well marketed nigger.
>>68979345
>Portugal
>Better player
What?
>>68980024
I dont remember ronaldo missing a penalty in PK's , throwing a fit then quitting his team right after.
Messi will never be GOAT because of this
Penaldo hasn't gotten to 3 finals in the last 3 years you stupid burger
>>68980024
>Not him but Messi carries a team to finals
lolno
Romero and Mascherano did that
>>68980122
He also hasn't gone to 3 consecutive finals in 3 years and utterly choked in each of them lol
>>68980086
Youre right, hes so bad he never even reaches that stage but instead drops out before the semis.
>>68980165
he can barely get out of the group stage lol
>>68979345
A shitty team like sweden might play better without ibrahimovic because of the teamwork meme and playing for eachother instead of one person
but portugal without ronaldo is even worse than sweden without ibra despite having better players, you know why?
Because ronaldo cares about the team and the country he represents, and works tirelessly to lead his team to victory despite the odds.
portugal and sweden care just as much about their soccer teams, but ronaldo is a much, much better emotional leader than ibra will ever be. And that's why he's a winner and why portugal wants to win too.
Can someone explain me what's the TSUUU meme about?
Except they don't have nearly as much pressure
People expect Messi to carry the NT through the WC because, supposedly, Maradona did it
People don't understand that it's basically impossible to do that with always 4 people on top of you
Messi does a lot, but his NT doesn't do shit
Because he's so good, Argentina put the blame on him for everything
C. Ronaldo has complete dick riding fanbase, people who don't know to expect more
They know that Ronaldo is the best in the NT, they know they won't get far without a real team
But they don't care, they're happy with what they have and completely idolize
Argentinians aren't, they wan't 3 WC and 6 Copa Americas, and if Messi doesn't deliver, he's a chocker pecho frio
>>68980192
Probably good that he does, bud
That way he doesn't utterly humiliate himself 3 years in a row in a final lmao
>>68979002
Ibra quite years ago, then crawled back, Ty'Rone.
>>68980238
>can't handle the pressure
isnt that the definitive quality that separates the great players from the absolute best players? Why does everyone ignore this when dealing with Messi? That quality along with being great players is what makes Jordan and Tiger Woods the undisputed goats in their sports
>>68980341
There's handling the pressure in-game and out of the game
I'd say, that for the most part, Messi handles it pretty well in-game
I think this is the first time I've seen Messi choke this hard
Outside of the game, though, Messi can't handle it
He's so introverted, he can't go around telling motivational speeches and say it's gonna be better next time to 50 interviewers a day
Ronaldo doesn't care for the NT, though.
>>68980231
It was a joke that Ronaldo played on his friend. Ronaldo paid a childhood friend of his to get "TSU" written on his penis, which stands for "Truly Super Ugly", on account of his friend's bad looks, which Ronaldo took great pleasure in teasing him about. Then his friend on twitter asked Ronaldo when he was getting his. Ronaldo said that if he got one on his dick it would say "TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"
then he blocked his friend
thus a meme was born

what fucking pressure does Penaldo have?
>>68980617
Keeping up with messi
>>68979002
Messi is past his prime years (age 25-29). He'll be like 31-32 the next World Cup
>>68978880
I'm glad we put this silly debate behind us it was never in doubt really
>>68980430
i usually disappears during big matches with his national team, so I'd argue that he isn't handling the pressure well.
>>68980617
who the FUCK mentioned ronaldo? although he usually comes through during important games (see la decima final penalty 2 years ago)
>>68979002
Let it go Ted
TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Come on mate, look at pic related
I mentioned it earlier
>People don't understand that it's basically impossible to do that with always 4 people on top of you
>>68979045
Cantona didn't quit, Jacquet kicked him out.
>>68979002
No this would be like LeBron refusing to play for TeamUSA in the upcoming Olympics next month, and LeBron isn't doing so.
>>68980222
Lol you're an absolute retard
>>68980545
Legendary
>>68979345
yeah, that portugal guy is always in his shadow
>>68980773
this image doesn't mean much does it? He consistently runs at defenders like this, ofc they are going to swarm him. And despite this he refuses to adapt his game, another quality goat athletes are known for. It just makes him look like a one dimensional player like steph curry
>>68980692
>he usually comes through during important games (see la decima final penalty 2 years ago)
lol what, he scored the PK after Real madrid winning 3-1
>>68980024
have you ever seen them play without Ronaldo? They are fucking terrible. They manage to win games because he always has 2 or 3 players on him, making space for other teammates to score.
>>68980933
yes Pedro, your are correct.
CR7 lucked out against fucking CROATIA and needed to be bailed out by teamates
If that ball is a few inches over from the post, or that header is a few inches under, CR7 would be a laughing stock
>>68980920
It means that enemy teams neutralize Messi, therefore neutralize the whole team
The rest of the team should have an easier time controlling the game if Messi keeps busy multiple defenders
But it's not the case, because the rest of the Argentinians don't have the passion to do so
They expect Messi to carry them
>penaldo loses to poland
>misses penalty kick
>Poland celebrates as penaldo quits NT
All this on Thursday!
>>68981003
>bailed out by teamates

>>68981056
>receives a perfect through ball, all he needs to do is run for it
>STILL almost misses the 1v1 and needs to have his teamate tap it in
Breh, if that ball had deflected out wide, Ronaldo would be even more of a joke than Messi rn
He completely lucked out at one end, then at the other
>>68980773
>meme player getting exposed by tactical defence
B-B-B-BUT HE'S STILL THE GOOOAAATTT!!!!
>>68980920
you are idiot.
iam watching football 12 years and i can say that teammates and coach cant use messi in right way. and main problem - there are no MIDFIELDERS like vidal in argentina. so messi doing all this midfield shit to bring the ball to the strikers. there is 4-3-3/
and LOOK at the "creative""" biglia or maschrano or banega. they literally cant push the ball to the goal. only what banega can- give ball to the wing also biglia is not good player at all.
so tactics- di maria/lavezzi/ can just run at the wing and pass to the box(so defenders know is and block) or use messi but because weak midfield - easy to block by 3-4 men cause they know that others cant do anything
>>68980785
Why tho? Where is the love for your country?
>>68981150
nigga that was a pass to Quaresma
>>68978880
>hell you didnt even see ibra quit on Sweden
He literally did though
>>68981150
Don't forget he tried to take credit too somehow
>>68981010
the goats dont get neutralized when it matters the most my man, i don't know how else to explain this.

American CR7 dickriders, everyone.
>>68980545
>>68981314
when the usmnt is that bad, they need to find someone to follow
>>68981245
Probably because you're pulling stupid sports cliches out of your ass. It's like people that think Tom Brady and Michael Jordan just won championships when everyone else on their team just shut it off for the night.
>>68981314
Lmao, I love how you think choking 3 FINALS IN A ROW in utter embarrassment is somehow so much more noble than going out in the group stage once
Nobody except a giant Messi dickrider would in delusion would take the former, bud, not even Messi would which is why he's quitting on his team lol
>CR7

>>68981586
Messi dick riders all brown dudes are soccer hipsters who support Barca.
They are fraud supporters who support their fraud player/club.
i used to be a big time messi fan until he decided to quit playing. as somebody who gets paid millions of dollars, you can't complain about the pressure. it comes with the fame. i cannot believe he decided to quit because that's small mentality.

>>68981543
but no one on Argentina (except Higuian) shut it off for the night. The last three finals have been extremely balanced matches, and he absolutely could have stepped up and made the difference with the amount of skill he has shown us time and time again
>>68981637
As opposed to supporting Real Mafallonmyface
Penaldo or not, CR would never wuit ver something like this.
He would cry, scream, do flip flops while yelling but he would NEVER quit.
Messi went full autism.
>>68978880
We rape him in thursday. No more tsu at this Euro.
Are some of you people seriously comparing Portugal's NT with Argentina's?
Get real.
>>68982071
Portugal is much better fagboi
>>68978920
Is common doing that around the age 34 after a Euro or World Cup. Ibra would be pretty old in the next competitions so he is "allowing" someone else to take his play in the qualification matches.
>>68979045
After his bad reputation and the shit he did?
>>68978981

>>68981794
I think people here are missing the point that 1. Messi is fucking Spanish at this point, 2. He tried his best and got to numerous finals but obviously cursed, 3. most of the senior players already hate the federation.
>>68979142
This is an argument AGAINST messi. He has better players on the bench than ronaldo has on his starting squad, and messi STILL cant win anything internationally. He's a barcelona babby.
>my feet hurt
>where is iniesta?
>what happened to my tiki taka
This is the difference between GOATs and greats
Zidane carried a shit France team to the WC finals in 2006
Messi can't even perform with a STACKED Argentina side in 8 attempts
>>68984163
>STACKED Argentina
Stacked with shit players?
>>68984007
Because it's not interesting to watch Germany.
>>68984196
Best defence in the world and Di Maria, shitlord
>>68980161
You wouldnt have gotten past the group without Messi m8
>>68984218
>Di Maria
Did he even play yesterday? Nowhere to be found. Higuain and Aguero missed few open shots on goal. Didn't even challenge the keeper, just shot wide. Masce, Leo and Romero were the only ones playing yesterday in Argie team.
I know the rest of team looks stacked on paper. They simply don't perform when it matters.
>>68984163
now you're just memeing
2006 France>>>>Current Argentina

>>68984540
It was 2014 that Messi fucked up in the WC with Argentina
He had Mascherano and a healthy Di Maria back then
>>68978880
You just know if CR7 had been the one to retire internationally /sp/ would have called him a pussy and a sore loser.
>>68984563
>healthy Di Maria back then
no, he got injured against Belgium
>>68982071
Just analyze the market value of each team, they are not that far.
Now that Messi quit Portugal is higher.
>>68984565
Well of course, that's kind of the point
>>68978880
CR7 IS A GOAT BROTHER

Portugal beat Argentina the last time they played, so they are technically better :^)
