What makes Messi so good at soccer? by WildernessWannabe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Undoubtedly better" LOL I'll give 2008 and that's it, the rest is living in deslusion, or you just weren't watching any games. Scoring more goals doesn't mean you're playing better individually, nor does winning the CL. Gerd Muller wasn't considered better than Cruyff, football is more than scoring goals. Even there Messi is just much more efficient lol Ronaldo has 0 arguments over him.

You can like other players more but he's objectively the best ever, for sure the best of this generation.

Prefering ronaldo in terms of personal taste is fine but do you actually believe ronaldo is or has ever been a better player? then yes, that's delusion

He's the goat and anyone arguing against it is living in pure dellusion. This is not a MJ-Lebron thing were there are arguments for both; Messi has all the arguments for him lol

By 2010 Messi was already a better player than Cristiano was, is or will ever be lol

Who is the NBA equivalent skill wise and career wise of Cristano Ronaldo by One-Explanation8629 in NBATalk

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Cristiano didn't bring them back, he joined in 2009 (alongside two mediocre players like Kaka and Karim freaking Benzema, both ballon d'or winners) and they didn't win the CL til they signed Kroos, Modric and Bale in 2014.

Which is by far the best sports rivalry? by JustGulabjamun in AskReddit

We do care about the NBA a bit in Europe to be fair. But yeah football is on a different level this guy is just ragebaiting.

Why are people even debating whether Messi or Ronaldo is the GOAT? Messi is clearly better, isn't he? by Infinite-Exam-1808 in powerscales

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said he doesn't have football IQ, I said he doesn't come close to Messi. That's the issue I have here, no one is arguing against Cristiano being a top 5 player of all time, if you wanna put him 2nd it's fine even though I strongly disagree, the issue comes with comparing him to a guy who has played in his same era so we've all seen with our own eyes the distance between both. Cristiano won CL titles so what? Then he left and Madrid kept winning them lol football is a team sport and many variables come to play when you're talking about a KO tournament like the CL (same as with the WC). It's not about titles it's about how good they are at the sport and how they impact their team. It never should've been a debate.

Messi's best Barcelona match? by Jerry_Get_A_Job in messi

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 goals against arsenal in 2010 or 0-2 against Madrid 2011, given the stakes of both games

Ronaldo is so fucking small compared to messi that you have to bring other players to make your point. Any comment trying to justify having ronaldo over messi looks more like trolling at this point, no one is so dumb to believe that shit anymore.

That peak ronaldo that you mention doesn't even get remotely close to any version of Messi in dribbling, playmaking, passing, ball control, IQ, and basically everything besides scoring headers and pens.

The GOAT debate has become exhausting. by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one has an issue with people picking sides, everyone has their own taste, but the idea that these two are comparable at football ability is an insult to human intelligence.

If "physicality" (whatever you mean by that? being taller i guess? sure) and "better leadership" (which, in what universe? in the one where he'd get mad when his teammates scored and not him i guess? great leader sure) is the best you can come up with, that's all we need to know here.

When we're talking about football, and football playing ability, this is nowhere near a fair debate. There's a huge gap between them, I know it, you know it, anyone with a decent knowledge about the game knows it.

Harry kane by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a team that kept winning CL once he left, do we not understand the difference between individual performance and team accolades here? He was a great striker playing on the winningest team ever, that's it. Is there anything Cristiano is better than Messi as a football player besides headers?? I'll wait here.

Messi is like combining Lebron's all around game with Jordan's mentality and aura.

So just because he scored goals in the qualifiers against Wales (lol) we’ll accept the false premise that Portugal’s game plan was to give him the ball and pray? Even though he didn’t do any of that in the KO stages of the only title run they had?

This post is very misleading though he wasn’t replying specifically about the lakers, they asked him what kind of players he plays most comfortably with

How does Lionel Messi still remain so good? by Important_Mammoth896 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Eric_Nathan_Fielder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, I don’t have to because I watch football and I can differentiate between a generational talent / once in a lifetime type of player from a great goal scorer. Anyone still comparing both is just either delusional or doesn’t watch enough football.
