Lionel Messi. that Maradona-esque goal he scored was simply sublime.
I've seen that goal a few times and the similarities are uncanny. I almost wonder whether it was going through his head at the time to try and replicate it.

It has too be Messi for me.
Although Ronaldo is more complete in the sense that he is good in the air and freekicks etc, I think Messi contributes more to the team overall and undoubtedly has the best skill.
I think Messi will eventually be the best player of all time. Especially as he doesn't seem to have all the flaws Maradona had.

Can't remember who it was that said it, but an opposing manager once said of Messi that he had such a low sense of gravity and such ability that he was able to change direction so quickly that defenders couldn't get to him. That's supposedly why he's able to dribble past players with so much control.

messi for me...
his dribbling style is a joy to watch, and his close control is second to none... he doesnt need 30 stepovers before going past a player... he does the simple things when he needs to, works hard, tries to play even when hacked down, and when he is, he jumps straight back up... he has a great attitude and is a magnificent player....
cristiano ronaldo, while a wonderful footballer, overdoes things for me.. he does too many step overs, he does flicks and tricks when it isnt necessary, he doesnt work as hard as messi, and his attitude is appalling... that silly little humming bird impression he does when other players have the audacity to try and tackle him, and he dives over thin air is hilarious and embarrassing at the same time... hes like a petulant little child having a tantrum because mommy wont buy him some sweets...

Ronaldo isn't even as good as the original (now alas, tubby and hairy) Ronaldo.
Over here they don't even call him 'Ronaldo', it's ''Cristiano'' this and ''CR9'' that. Feckin' sick of the twunt.

Messi everytime.
Bloody hell, 101 goals in 154 senior appearances for a club Barca is no mean feat.

It's Messi for me i just think he is way out there in terms of skill and team work he can dribble, pass, and he know's were the goal is so Messi beat's Ronaldo for me.

Messi without a shadow of a doubt. Though ladyboy is up there its 50% subtofuge (sp?) step overs etc. what really impresses me with messi is the fact that he takes the ball with him and relies more on ball skills than dummies.
I was sold the moment I first saw that goal v Getafe.

The missus is a RM fan and she thinks Messi is better, also Messi doesn't moan or wuss around after being touched. Looking forward to the match on Monday!!!......after we rout Arsenal of course.

Think Ronaldo will improve Aston Villa more than Messi, but I would pick Messi. I prefer Messi as he is a nice man and wonderful footballer and a team player.
