Messi is a striker isnt he? his job is to score goals, Ronaldos job is a lot more then that and Messi plays on a much better team in Barcelona. got this out an article
Messi averages less than a goal every three games at international level, a disappointing tally for the FIFA World Player of the Year

Soccer is about a lot more than just stats. If you see the games, it's easy to see who has a bigger impact. And Ronaldo has been on Manchester United and Real Madrid, it's not like he's been on the San Jose Earthquakes.
Messi is an attacking wing midfielder if i had to describe his position, definitely not a center forward though. He creates and makes everyone around him better, regardless if it's him who puts the ball in the back of the net.
Ronaldo is more of a showboat and does less to actually create scoring opportunities than he does to just look good on the field. That's the big difference...

bullshit you obviously didnt see Ronaldo setup some goals today and and some good passes that shots just happen to not be struck good enough. Messi is on the best team in the world in Barcelona so its easy to get goals and setup goals on that team, i said before that once the international play comes around the real will show
Lmfao...really bro? Against North Korea, remember that.
The best team in the world is Inter Milan as a matter of fact, since they won the Champions League.
And you're right, we'll see who really steps it up next round. My guess is Ronaldo's bitch ass will choke like he always does. The guy is all flash and nothing else...

Really? Every Chilean attack has come thru Sanchez. I watch him every week in Serie A and I've never been as impressed by him as I am at the WC. Chile's finishing as a team has been pretty weak but they are outplaying their opponents so far (although that red card for Behrami was horse shit I'd like to see how that game could have played out 11v11)
Are you serious man? Ronaldo had a good game today but he only really turned it on when they were up by a couple goals. Look up how long it has been since Ronaldo scored an international goal before today. He got matched or some could say outshined by Tiago, a Juventus reject who plays for Atletico now and doesn't even always start.
Messi had a hand in all three goals for Argentina against SK. And if you watch his goals on Barca a lot, probably half, are pretty much solo acts. I agree that he typically isn't that impressive for Argentina but the first two group stage games he's been man of the match.
I can do stats too. Ronaldo has 23 goals from 74 int'l appeararnces. That means he gets a goal every 3.4 games for Portugal. They both are natural wingers.... Play essentially the same position.
I disagree.... I think Barca is still a better team even though Inter beat them. But thats a whole other can of worms that doesn't belong in this thread

Most referees have been shit so far. Now Germany and Ghana have to deal with one from Brazil that was suspended for 6months because of suspicion of cheating. And that was last year!
He is only at the World Cup, because he has friends in high positions. Bullshit.
His first game was USA vs. England...
