You bitch about Messi's golden ball selection but at least that choice had some kind of statistical backup (Messi was the leader scorer and assister of the finalist team), here there's no logical reason to leave a guy that finished in the top 3 in goals and assists out of a group of 20 something players.

[ElNono]

The award is more than 4 years old... it just had a different name then... IIRC, Messi's 1st was with the old name...

[Venti Quattro]

[ElNono]

I'll admit I really don't follow soccer...nor will I probably ever. But, I've always heard that Pele is the GOAT.

That's the general consensus, tbh... although some people dispute that nowadays due to eras, competition, etc...

[ElNono]

He might not even get an invite if Suárez and Neymar da Silva are the two other Finalists

He should be there. He had a great season at the club level even if Messi once again was miles better than him at every level. The fact that the distance between 1st and 2nd is much wider than 2nd to 3rd doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to be the 1st loser.

[Infinite_limit]

Who is the Dad Killer of the sport IYO, Infinite?
Currently? Ya it's Messi

Soccer doesn't have a GOAT type like NBA. More along the lines of NFL, with many different positional players having their respective claim. Pele has the scoring records but played in another generation and against suspect competition at the time. But he has the greatest success at the greatest stage (World Cup).

In terms of Post Maradona players, Messi is compared with Zidane & Brazilian Ronaldo. I'll put Messi above BRA Ronaldo but in order for Messi to finish ahead of Zidane he has to either win the World Cup OR move to another Club.

[ElNono]

Messi is compared to Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, etc... upper-echelon/best ever... Now I'm not sold that he's better than Diego, tbh (I've watched them both), but he's rightly into that conversation, and barring injury he can continue to make a great case...

When you look at Cristiano Rolando though, it's clear he's in that 2nd tier of great generation players, like Zidane, BRA Ronaldo, etc... I also think he has a great case there...

Zidane 2nd tier?

The guy had no weakness [Messi has quite a few]. The guy won every award/championship imaginable at multiple nations [Messi has not]. He Won the World Cup and almost single handily defeated Italy. Zidane doesn't pull a disappearing act against Germany this summer.

There is nothing Messi does that Zidane couldn't and the same can't be said vice versa. Messi plays Striker at one of the most offensive powered [before he showed up] clubs in one of the most offensive powered leagues. Big deal. Didn't score in the World Cup Final and didn't score today. If all you do is score....well you better score

Zidane 2nd tier?

The guy had no weakness [Messi has quite a few]. The guy won every award/championship imaginable at multiple nations [Messi has not]. He Won the World Cup and almost single handily defeated Italy. Zidane doesn't pull a disappearing act against Germany this summer.

There is nothing Messi does that Zidane couldn't and the same can't be said vice versa. Messi plays Striker at one of the most offensive powered [before he showed up] clubs in one of the most offensive powered leagues. Big deal. Didn't score in the World Cup Final and didn't score today. If all you do is score....well you better score

:lol Zidane is not in anybody's top 5 greatest player list or ever been in that discussion. Most people put him below Cryuff, that never won a World Cup either.

GOAT discussion always centers on Pele, Maradona, Di Stefano, Cryuff, Puskas, Beckenbauer, Messi(?)...

By the time you get to the Zidane, Ronaldo (BRA), Maldini, Platini, Eusebio, etc, you're well past the top 5, more like looking at top 10-15 territory... I think Cristiano has a good shot at this.

But you already know this... even if it makes you really uncomfortable.

Zidane was recently voted the Greatest Player in Champions League History [2013]. He had no rival in his ERA, he was the guy. Messi will suffer over time as Ronaldo continues to duplicate [and even eclipse] what Messi is doing AND eventually the next Barcelona star that racks up goals/titles. While Ronaldo was busy battling in the most grueling League on the Planet [winning the Champions League at Man U] Messi was racking up goals in La Liga playing alongside Henry and Eto. I'm not impressed.

There is simply no-way Argentina [2 World Cups :lol ] while easily qualifying for the World Cup by not being in UEFA [Nations like France, Holland and England have not qualified recently] have 2 of the 3 or even 5 Greatest Players. That is laughable. Messi is the flavor of the moment......as in the past 6 months. Before then Ronaldo was the superior player 2 years running.


Sidenote: eventually Ronaldo will leave Real and even La Liga. If he manages to Win a Champions League title at his next stop [3 different teams]...... WoW. It will further dilute Messi's accomplishments.

Lionel Messi Beats Zidane to Be Named Champions League's Greatest Player Ever

:lol yeah, no. Obviously a guy that only won it twice (and lost the Champions League finals twice too) just can't stack up.

This isn't a discussion about what impresses you or not. His 14 career titles (and he retired well past 34 years old), just don't add up to to put him in any top 5 greatest player list.

I like Zidane, and I understand that you might be a fan and what not, but bring up any top 5 greatest players list from pretty much any publication, and he's not there. You know that.

He's beating all those guys that play in UEFA. Heck, he's beating them at record setting pace. He's setting records not just in La Liga, but all over European Football. He's being doing that well before the past 6 months.

Haters gonna hate, Lio just gonna keep collecting dem trophies...

most overrated player to ever kick povertyball

[ElNono]

tbh, I've always been partial to Maradona, but this nigga keeps winning and keep scoring important goals and making plays, at some point you just gotta admit he's something special.

[TDMVPDPOY]

nothing special when defenders are afraid to sweep the legs

[Jodelo]

Zidane is the GOAT. :bobo

[Infinite_limit]

IF I'm choosing

- Guy for a 40/50 game season: Messi. More consistent
- Guy for 1 Tournament or 1 Match: Zidane. More dominant in top competitions against top teams

[DAF86]

I'll admit I really don't follow soccer...nor will I probably ever. But, I've always heard that Pele is the GOAT.

Is that correct?

That's as correct as people calling Bill Russell the basketball GOAT.

Messi is the best player in the world but over Maradona? Nonsense.

I can't imagine Messi carrying Napoli to league tittles..I mean jesus he's playing with two of the top 5 players in the world in Neymar and Suarez.

I'd give him this, If they win Russia 2018...He should be the consensus Goat..The Dad Killer Soccer.

right now, IMO..There isn't a consensus best player ever..Pele, Maradona, cruyff, Ronaldo9, Zidane are all up there..

Pele over Marardona :lmao

Ronaldo9 is easily the most underrated player Ever..Top 5.

Regarding the GOAT debate, some years ago (before Messi exploded) FIFA selected the top 4 players ever:

-Distefano played from 1945 to 1966.
-Pele played from 1956 to 1977
-Cruyff played from 1964 to 1984
-Maradona played from 1976 to 1997

All of these guys were the unquestionable best player of their respective era like Messi is now. That's why every non-biased GOAT discussion revolves around these 5 players.

Like I previously posted...I don't have a clue. I only watch soccer games when the WC comes around...and I only watch the USA play.

But, it's still enjoyable to have the conversation. Like you said, it may be impossible to call.......but who do you think is the GOAT? There are really no right or wrong answers I assume.

Yeah, they had it easier back then but still those guys were good enough to be considered the undisputed best players of their respective eras. They must have had something special.

Pele works for me

Maradona is usually mentioned as #2

No way those guys are better than Ronaldo9 though..

It blows my mind how Ronaldo is almost always never in a top 5 player list....

Even Pele's resume isn't better than Ronaldo..

No. He's played in 3 World Cups but last summer was his coming out party

He could hypothetically play in 2 more. But Argentina is so strong he would probably be a super-sub in 2022

I'm not seeing the "unquestionable best player" in Messi

If Curry wins the Title this week and then another regular season MVP next season, would you still call James the "undisputed best player?" Ronaldo won 2-straight MVPs up to now

[DAF86]

Argentina didn't have the best defense. In fact our defenders were so shitty in the group stage (where we managed to avoid the historical embarrassment of getting eliminated by the likes of Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria only thanks to Messi) that Sabella decided to scratch the offensive minded 4-3-3 (where Messi shined) to an ultra defensive 4-4-2 so that our shitty defenders didn't get exposed so much. That's why the goal tally decreased as well as Messi's involvement on games. It's hard for a playmaker to do much when your team doesn't have the ball.

[Clipper Nation]

Let me get this straight - this guy is really the greatest player of this "sport"?

Not that I give a shit about povertyball or the faggots that play it, but by your logic, DK was never the undisputed best player in his career. Bird, Magic, Hakeem, Shaq, and Duncan won rings during DK's career and Barkley, D-Rob and Malone won MVP's.

If the third-world kickball media is anything like the NBA media, they probably give the poverty MVP to different players out of voter fatigue and/or hate for the real best player, which is why Steve Trash, Kirby and Gangster Disciple have won MVP's during LeBron's career.

MJ's first MVP in 1988

1989 - No MVP No Title
1990 - No MVP No Title

Up to this point MJ was not GOAT status. But from 1991-1993 & 1996-1998, he won the MVP or Championship each season. If Barkley or Malone won 2-straight MVPs and 1 Finals title during that time period. Yah that would negatively affect MJ's claim as GOAT



FIFA does the opposite for their awards. They essentially only reward players from Barcelona or Real Madrid. In the past 5 years, the same 2 teams have Won 86% of the awards. While winning 40% of the UCL Titles
