Whos the better footballer?

Who do you think is the better footballer?

I personally think Messi is, he adds such a fluidity to the game.

@mike3110: That's what I'm saying might be happening with Ronaldo, though I don't follow the Portuguese national team much.

OT: Anyone else want to see Neymar picked up by Madrid or Barca?

[quote=Echleon]The Spanish style of play is much different than most countries, and could be better suited to players like him. Same happens with Messi, put him on Barcelona, goal goal goal. Put him on Argentina, and he struggles a bit. Great players nonetheless.[/quote]

That's because Messi doesn't have the support he needs. All he has is Higuain and di Maria.

[quote=dimo]Individually Messi is the better player, in terms of looking at the whole team Iniesta contributes more, he is almost the glue that holds them together while Messi is the icing on the cake.[/quote]

Yes! Exactly this!

Iniesta and Xavi don't receive as much credit as they should

[quote=WontPostMuch]Ya exactly what I'm talking about. I feel like if he was as good as the hype says, he would def. be showing a lot more game on the field with his national team. Team is definitely solid enough to set-up opportunities and not entirely rely on him to do all the work.[/quote]

Both Messi and Iniesta are brilliant players.

[quote=WontPostMuch]Ronaldo, IMO, is just a bit overrated. He's a great player, don't get me wrong homes, but at the same damn time, he just doesn't hold it together at key moments.[/quote]

Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi are a great trio, always setting each other up for goals.
