The same Euro win which only saw Portugal draw 3 group games and win on pens on the way to the final and beat the might wales and the same final that saw them win without Ronaldo...now I know that they still won it but to act as if Ronaldo somehow single handily won it is laughable let alone put him above messi:hhh:

And messi cant beat Chile when it matters. Instead he cries and quits :manny:

The former Liverpool defender feels the Egypt forward, who has been prolific for the Reds, needs to stop trying to do things all on his own
Mohamed Salah has been accused of being “selfish and greedy” during Liverpool’s narrow 2-1 victory over Fulham.

The Egypt international forward drew another blank against the Cottagers to take his run without the finding the target to seven games.

That is the longest barren sequence of the 26-year-old’s time at Anfield and means he remains one effort short of reaching a half-century in the Premier League for the Reds.

It appears as though that mark and an uncharacteristic drought is weighing on his mind, with Salah often trying too hard to make things happen.

Carragher believes that was the case against Fulham, with a key component in the Liverpool side doing those around him few favours in what remains a collective bid for major honours.

The former Reds defender said on Sky Sports during co-commentary duty: “He has been selfish and greedy, no doubt.

“His record for Liverpool has been outstanding in the Premier League – scoring and creating goals. Nobody has been involved in more goals this season.

“He’s been a constant threat. But two or three times he’s got to get his head up and see what’s around him.”

While Salah is enduring a dip in form, fellow frontman Sadio Mane is flourishing.

Jurgen Klopp is fortunate to have enough attacking firepower at this disposal that the failings of certain star turns can be countered by the performances of others.

Mane has been the German’s go-to man over recent weeks, with the Senegal international netting 11 times in his last 11 appearances.

He has often been the man to break the deadlock and get Liverpool up and running, with that proving to be the case once again at Craven Cottage.

Carragher added on the buoyant 26-year-old after seeing him open the scoring inside 26 minutes on Sunday: “He’s not just form man in the Premier League, he’s the form man in Europe.

“I’ve been saying from the start of this game: there’s far too much space in wide areas and Liverpool have exploited it.

“There was space for Mane to go at the full-back, space for [Andy] Robertson. It’s a great run and pass from [Roberto] Firmino and the combination between the front three is superb.”

Mane, Firmino and Salah will be back on the goal trail after the international break when Liverpool take in a testing visit from Tottenham on March 31.

I’m still in my feelings over that game, and this brought a whole new wave of anger. We’re going to Toronto in June for a family trip. We’ll see who has the last laugh when I put a ki of coke in his luggage before his flight back home.

I always thought that it was sad to not see Ronaldinho be apart of the 2009 treble winning Barca team, I feel that pep could have have set him straight and brought the good form out of him again. Felt it was harsh when Barca got rid of him, the things he did for them previously should have allowed him to be apart of pep's squad, unless dinho wanted to leave himself. He deserved to be apart of a great team like that.

Sad to also not see the Brazilian ronaldo win a CL, I guess the two world winners could make up for it, but he deserved a CL. Would have actually won one if not for UEFA's cup tied rules which funnily enough is not a rule anymore. Smh. Should never have been a rule in the first place.

So you want Messi to be a cheerleader ? He tried that already
Without Messi, Argentina played eight matches in qualifying. They won one. They scored 0.75 goals per game. They lost to Ecuador, Paraguay and Bolivia. They drew with Venezuela. Tata Martino was sacked and so was his successor, Edgardo Bauza.

With Messi, Argentina played ten matches and only lost one (to Brazil in Belo Horizonte). They beat Chile twice, Uruguay and trounced Colombia 3-0 in San Juan. In 10 games, Messi scored seven goals (including the all-important hat-trick against Ecuador to secure Argentina’s World Cup place). How important were Messi’s goals? For comparison’s sake, Argentina’s strike force of Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Aguero, Mauro Icardi, Dario Benedetto, Lucas Pratto and Lucas Alario combined for three goals over the two-year cycle.

Why casuals always talks about something that they don't understand:mjlol:
The argentina squad has always been stacked and messi still flopping with them. How many excuses we going to keep giving him with his national team?

How can that be

Ronaldo left real Madrid and look at them now :mjgrin:
If barca didn't have messi now, Real would actually be top of la liga. Real flopped because they got no good strikers. They create many chances but no striker to put them away.
