It’s talent against training. Ronaldo also has talent, but most is acquired. It’s not less skilful, but it’s not as beautiful and good. Messi is pure class."


Exactly how I feel. Very well mr.Klaas, very well.


Another reason not to listen to the opinions of footballers. Hope he is exaggerating with 'ten times better'.

Ofc the 10x better is an exaggeration he just wants to say that messi is just a step ahead of ronaldo which he is. The rest of the analysis is spot on.

Its just an opinon man its a bit exaggerated but hes not totally wrong. On the square meter part, Messi doesnt do anything flashy just moves it with a low center of gravity thats a pretty standard description by most pundits aswell, its certainly more efficient. Its just a style of play thing Ronaldo's better in the air and is slightly better with his wrong foot they both have their advantages.

How should Huntelaar have more insight than we do in regards to Messi and Cronaldo?

I agree that Messi is better and has a more innate skill. But "ten times better" is ridiculous.

Messi with the brilliant hattrick for Argentina vs Brazil. If they sort out their defence problems, they should be the favourites for the next world cup.

Are you kidding me? Uruguay destroyed them in the Copa. Argentina can only win friendlies, nothing more.

Maybe you manage to reach the Quarter Finals, but Brazil and Argentina are not the teams they were from 1990-2002. The european teams (Spain, Germany, Holland) are just a level above brazil/argentina.

Well did you watch them in the Copa? Did you watch them play in WC2010?

Or do you only count friendlies? I guess Mexico will destroy everyone in 2014 then?

I dont know what you were watching but destroyed is a bit severe. The way Uruguay play they dont really "destroy" anyone. But you seem to like using extremes when it comes to vocabulary so Im just gonna assume that means beat.

Seems like winning on penalties equals destroying now. The way your talking out of your ass sounds like you didnt really see the Copa either. And it was their offense that fell flat in the Copa, they were marginally better defensively (or just because most teams they played lacked offensive bite pick your poison really).

Was a pretty shit defensive game from both teams and I'd expect more in the world cup. They wont be able to match the Europeans for organization and mechanics.

Messi's third was godly but really Brazil shouldve scored on the play prior.
