Yeah if Ronaldinho getting them Universal Soilder injections he'd have surpassed whatever level Messi is supposedly on.

 

[grazazaza]

Behave.

Bruh belive me im the biggest ronnie fan he was my idol growing up but messis run as the best player has been stretched out so long that its almost impossible not to say it, messi needs that world cup if he gets it its a wrap

Well, I read in L'équipe (Here, if you read french, or google translate it) that Muller scored 12 in the German League Cup, which not "official" at that time, so Messi done passed Der Bomber a long ago.

But still impressive from both of them. Then if you need to rate one higher than the other, just do you.

Muller had a more impressive year though. Won the Euros, won the Bundesliga, scored 13 times in 5 international appearances.

Mullers is all the more impressive regardless of that competition.

 

[KOTK]

apparently Huntelaar.

Not sure how he'll do at left back, but Arsene knows.

Gonna get a kindle, but tbf the price of most books on it needs to come down.

 

[Ukbrotha]

Im having so much problem accepting it but messi has now surpassed ronaldinho the master and he's making the teacher proud ronnie smiles like watching his only son that made it

He surpassed ronaldinho some time ago.

He still needs that world cup tho!

 

[SCORCH]

Of course he has.

Why? Because he's scored a million goals against the likes of Osasuna and Tenerife?

When I was a kid I dreamt of being a player like Ronaldinho. Can you even begin to imagine possessing that level of skill?

I never once dreamt of being a roided up midget with no charisma. Have you seen the Turkish Airline ads ffs?

I think people get a bit obsessed by the World Cup achievement, it would be amazing if he gets it but it doesn't bother me.

obsessed by the greatest achievement in sports, being WORLD CHAMPIONS and the focus of the biggest sporting event EVER, yeah sure

Yeah he does, he can still get it though.

He's done everything else but some people seem to hang onto the World Cup, just so they have something to hate/knock him. The Champions League arguably means a lot more to players nowadays. I doubt he'll win the World Cup because Argentina arent setup like Barca. It doesn't bother me one bit, still a top class player and the greatest of his kind that I've ever seen.
