anyone else thinks Messi has become a luxury player over the past few years?

what other top team can he go and play the way he does and have the whole team cater to how he plays? He doesn't run off the ball or move off the ball, he can't stick to his og position because he usually shifts in, but that becomes a problem for the cm trying to to his job and the rb hardly has anyone to pass it forward to. since he doesn't have a work rate off the ball he can't be in midfield.
He is the last #10

City.
Inter.

Both teams desperate to make big splashes. Inter because of the slower pace. I wouldn't touch Messi for the exact reasons you mentioned. At least Real were smart to get up from Cronaldo but with Messi it's damn near impossible.

They have both handed some of the biggest beat downs of all time. 4 World cups and it should have been more but for some shyt luck(been in more finals than Brazil) and has scored massive amounts of goals. Germany has always been spectacular at football.

:mjlol: unfortunately not .. consistency, few weaknesses, cover all the basics. no fantasy.

the best ever german player is a defensive midfielder / defender. even the Bomber's legacy is questioned because his lack of artistry...

the best Argentinian or Brazilian or Croatian or Spanish or .... do I have to spell it out for you?

If you're on about honours then yeah. Just like United weren't near Liverpool until the latest couple of decades. Other than that i have no idea what you are on about.

I guess you don't count Spanish Nationalism vs Catalan Nationalism as a rival thing

:wow: congrats.

yes honours and performances ... :ufdup:
