Why do these videos have such loud background music
Lewa
Lol we gon act like ronaldo wasn’t peak two years ago???? Smh respect Messi tho
You guys are hilarious 😂😂😂
spoiler : no
Ronaldo is just 2 years older but the fact that they believe he's 3 or 4 years older shows how much he has declined 🤣
In the netherlands we have a common tactic. To the team that does not want the ball. (those who play counter attack, sit back, ''reactive'' football)
We give the ball! Because this will force a lot of mistakes out of them
No, some came close possibly, but not as good
Franck Ribery
If this was ronaldo. The caption would be: could he have done something better to score more goals than one 🤣
What is that title?
Zidane was better… He did it against Spain,Brazil , Italy not against Australia and Saudi arabia 🤡🤡 all of you aren't OLDER than 20 years old and probably you re from some asian countries.
I know of a 34 year who did it against Brasil in 2006, maybe this Australia is better than that team that had Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Roberto Carlos…
We’re bad and England couldn’t beat the US now the excuses come, you lot have just as little of a chance as we did. Let’s go senegal
I swear man football commentators are the most flip flops of people ever they change their mind faster than a smoker changes ashtrays lmfao
The only way to stop Messi is to deal with not receiving the ball, as soon as he receives the ball you in trouble
Roger Miller!!!! How can we forget
Look at this messi puppet host who is super happy
Answer is Yes for playing ..but when you add his scoring and assist stats the answer is BIG NO*
CR7
Well….yes,he have 37 actually and plays for Real Madrid,and play like that for a couple of years now 😀
ESPN are so afraid to say Messi, while him clearly being the GOAT, its pathetic.
Ronaldo duh
No . Simple. No need espn punditires
I guess Ronaldo didn’t bag 31 goals at 35
they played against australia. there are many 35 year old top players that can do a good job against a much much weaker team
Modrić
LOLOLOLOL how do i block these media propaganda?
Messi is so good that people think Ronaldo must be 4 years older because hes that much better lmao
Yea, Riquelme. No unnecessary moves.
Ronaldo at 35 was literally miles bettter than messi.
At this point we should actually find someone on Messi’s calibre to make a comparison. Ronaldo is miles below him.
Ronaldo at 35:
45 Games
44 Goals!
7 Assists!
I know a player who played with ball as well as Lionel Messi when he was 35, his name is Luka Modric.
Ronaldinho Riquelme Andrea pirlo just to make a few
Yes, 35 yr old Ronaldo was a beast.
We must compare. Because both of them played in same era, dribble and score goals.
Thus we must compare.
Roger Milla ,CR7
Yes and his name is LeBron James
I am a huge Messi fan but yes Zidane.
It’s ok to make fun of bald men but not bald women (Jada Pinkett Smith)
I think the Twitter question about Messi was based on Messi's dribbles and runs against the Aussies. Modric is comparable to Messi as a playmaker/midfielder when he was 35. But for the dribbles and goals. That's where Messi is all on his own: incomparable. Playmaker, passer, dribbler, and goalscorer.
Talk about the turn overs he had lol he had 1 run when they gassed themselves lmao 😂 stop the hype
The answer is me when I play with my 9 year old in the backyard lol
Arjen Robben and Ribery dribbled all their life….
No because God just turned 35. He's still a young pup.
Thing with Messi is yes he's the greatest ever but he's avoided serious injuries as well. That's a big thing with him and Ronaldo they have both stayed really healthy.
When he was 25 I was worried about him getting old.
At 35 I am amazed he is still doing these things , insane .
