Redwhiteandblue 3,330 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Until he does it at the world cup then he will never eclipse Maradona. For me though, Pele was the best. Anyone thats seen the clips cant disagree. Made Messi look like an amateur. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylishkidsriot 3 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 The arguement that Messi will only be the best ever when he leads Argentina to a World Cup is a load of shite. The defences he plays against in the Champions League are 10 times better than those Maradona played against years ago. Messi is God Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougieboyy 14 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Messi is light years ahead of anyone on the planet right now (bar Papac), Messi and barcelona the best player and team ever to grace the earth.

ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Alan gow really is the best talent their ever was.But i agree, in years to come people are going to look back and say ' WOW ' about messi. People that never saw him will be utterly flabbergasted at how good he was in videos. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesMcNeil 1,664 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Defenders today are not individually as good as previous years, however I would say the tactical side of the game is more advanced. Tighter formations, negative teams and the more athletic players in today's climate arguably make it harder for Messi to find space to dribble.Never really bought into the whole Maradona got kicked off the park argument.No?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpcBkpOf4z8In fact Maradona was subject to savagery on a regular basis such that it's difficult to imagine in the modern game. And I'm grateful for the new rules that stopped the violence-as-a-tactic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maradona did regularly. As for tight formations and negative teams, he played in Italy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
