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.

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?
Because he has brought it against every opponent put before him, league, copa, champions league, champion league finals etc.
Ronnie was the prototype, could have been the blueprint if he chose to leave the sniff and carnivals alone.

Alex Hleb is a better dribbler than Messi. Anyone could be the greatest with that midfield backing them.
His records, play and achievements are horrendously overrated.

Scary thing about Messi is that when he gets older and loses some pace/aceleration he could easily slot into a deeper role and just lay on those through balls. He has an incredible weight of pass.
hate/knock all of the greatest players have won the world cup!! pele maradona zidane ronaldinho i could go on, they've all been the greatest in the world stage so if u were to compare messi and them in the future and messi not having the world cup would be an issue because some would say he only performed in club competition
Where does that leave the likes of Cruyff? Platini? Baggio?
Not all the greatest players have won a world cup...

8 games against Chelsea = 0 goals
That's 8 games against the world's best keeper and he can't find a way through.
But here's somebody who found a way past Cech

Don't ever compare Messi to Cruyff da gawd.
Messi was never the voice of a generation while creating a brand new style of football with his back to the wall facing kidnappings and death threats from state sponsored Argentine death squads. Breh.
So u would say Baggio qualifies as a goat candidate? im talkin bout when it all comes down the debate who is the best player that's played the game im sure that neither of em qualify as the best of all times even tho these players were outstanding! i could make an exception 4 cruyff tho cause he revolutionized the game!
