  1. Better at scoring yes, better all round probably not. Ps I have no idea what zoomed or TikTok is. Simple internet is as far as I go.
  2. I’m not convinced Messi was many peoples pick for beat player in history back then. As I said I think he is exceptional but not unique. I’m still voting for Maradona
  3. Fuck off with that. Barcelona of that vintage would wipe the floor with todays PSG .
  4. Ok let’s directly compare the same competition. Messi has 129 goals in 161 appearances in European games. MBappe has 34 in 40 . That still favours MBappe despite being in a worse team
  5. Anyway, I’m not arguing MBappe is goat. That’s Maradona for me as I already said
  6. But how many would he have scored in a great Real Madrid or Barcelona side? Would he have balon d’ors ? quite possibly
  7. MBappes goals record is better thanMessi or Ronaldo at 23 years old.
  8. Of course it is. You can’t say Messi never won a World Cup because his team mates aren’t good enough without comparing a mediocre at CL level PSG to a fantastic Barcelona team. It’s the same bloody argument
  9. I didn’t think it was. It was just fate they were all together at that time. I tend to lean towards Maradona as greatest ever but don’t think it’s set in stone. If Pelé had left Brazil and went to the great Real Madrid of the late 50s early 60s Christ knows what he would have won. If MBappe had went to Madrid after the last World Cup he could have multiple champions leagues by now. Its all opinion
  10. Messi had the advantage of playing in one of the best club teams ever so obviously it’s crazy logic to favour him for all those trophies.
  11. The first and possibly the second. Messi is beyond doubt an exceptional player but I think he also benefited from being in an exceptional team and had exceptional managers . MBappe at international level has achieved more but is hampered at club level by being in a team that hasn’t reached those levels. . If he was in a team of the calibre of that Barcelona side I reckon he would already have a couple of champions leagues to go with his World Cup. MBappe has also scored at a faster rate than Messi did until he was the age MBappe is now.
  12. I don’t think he has been anything special this competition
  13. I think if MBappe played in that Barcelona team with Guardiola as manager he would have achieved even more. I don’t consider Messi the best ever now never mind at that age
  14. How many World Cup winners medals did he have ?
  15. It’s for Maroc, the French version of their name. Same code as used in their passports
  16. Couldn’t book him after spending several minutes chatting him up at half time. Probably arranging a meet to get his autograph
  17. Ronaldo only made about 7th in one poll of the greatest ever players.
  18. Pele was part of an exceptional era for Brazilian footballers so benefited from that. Brazil won a World Cup mostly without him in that era.Maradona was basically the most important reason by far that Argentina won the cup the 2nd time.
  19. Smaller country than Scotland but produce some players. Modric is one of the all time great midfielders
