@Dukedog whom do you support

I Support Messi

Honestly. I find it condescending, when people compare two great goalscoring athletes, and praise them, as if they are the reason for someone winning in a team sport.
You think they are better than the rest?
You think they are the only player on a team?
Who assists in their goals?
Who defends against the opponents from scoring a goal.
Which opponents do they play against.

Football is a team sport. No individual player stands above the team effort, regardless of how many goals they score, they could not do so alone.

They are overpriced, because of the commercial value that's associated to their name.

Messi has sligtly better stats over his career and more wins.

They're different though. Messi has an insane talent, some games was almost like he is not human.

Ronaldo is maybe the biggest training nerd and hardest working at training in football. Like he spend millions of his own money to build a special pool in his house designed for lifting weights under water, because it was good training. So he's sorta more dedicated.
