@israel_ajoje Make I give you your like and retweet first then my opinion If Messi like make he go Venus collect Venus World Cup I don’t give a fvck Ronaldo will remain my GOAT 🐐

Messi v Ronaldo: With Bias, You Will Always Find the Narrative You Are Looking For With bias, you will always find the narrative you are looking for. Nowhere is this truer than in football, and nowhere in football is it more visible than in the GOAT debate. The conversation is inherently subjective. There is no universal scorecard. And because there is no universal scorecard, bias fills the gap, and people argue across decades, across continents, across generations, and never quite arrive anywhere. Please just stay with me. You will see my what I am driving at if you do. I assure you. Before Messi and Ronaldo consumed the debate entirely, there were two names that occupied that space. Pelé and Maradona. So dominant was their standing that FIFA conducted two separate polls in the year 2000 to determine the Player of the Century. Maradona won the public internet vote with 53.6%. Pelé won the expert panel, composed of journalists, coaches, and officials, with 72.75%. FIFA, diplomatically, named them joint winners. Based on the foregoing, he debate was officially sanctioned as unresolvable. But here is what makes that remarkable. Look at the era Maradona actually played in. Michel Platini for example won three consecutive Ballon d'Ors between 1983 and 1985, a feat that had never been achieved before and has only been surpassed once since. He scored nine goals at a single European Championship, a record that still stands more than forty years later. He won the Serie A title, the European Cup, and a European Championship with France, all while being the best player in the world for three straight years. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge won back-to-back Ballon d'Ors in 1980 and 1981, reached consecutive World Cup finals, and was widely regarded as one of the most complete strikers the sport had produced. Marco Van Basten won three Ballon d'Ors, led the Netherlands to the 1988 European Championship with one of the most technically perfect volleys ever struck, and was so far ahead of his time that multiple coaches called him the greatest they had ever worked with. Lothar Matthäus, whom Maradona himself named as his greatest rival, won the 1990 World Cup and the Ballon d'Or in the same year, with 150 international appearances that remain the German record to this day. So on paper, the 1980s was overflowing with players who matched or exceeded Maradona by almost every formal measure available. Platini had more Ballon d'Ors. Van Basten had comparable individual awards and a Champions League. Rummenigge had consecutive golden balls and World Cup final appearances. The likes of ROmario and Gerd Muller(of dufferent generations of course even had more goals tha he did). And Maradona, remember, never won a conventional Ballon d'Or at all, because the award excluded South Americans throughout his entire peak. And yet none of them are in the conversation the way Maradona is. Not even close. Because in 1986, Maradona did something that no trophy, no award, and no statistical record has ever been able to replicate or contain. He carried a nation of forty million people to a World Cup on his back. He scored the Hand of God and then, four minutes later in the same match, the Goal of the Century against England and at a World Cup quarter-final. Yet the hand of God wasn't a taint on his legacy or his stake to the claim of being GOAT. The weight of that moment, and what people felt when they watched it, permanently overrode every comparison that statistics could ever produce. That is the thing about legacy. It does not care about your trophy count, individual awards, or goals. Yes all of these contribute to what one's legacy eventually becomes. But they are not the main thing. Let us consider something closer to our present. Henry, Ibrahimovic, Benzema, Lewandowski, and Suarez represent one of the most decorated generations of strikers the sport has ever produced. Between them, only one won the Ballon d'Or. Only one won the World Cup. Does that make either of those individuals definitively greater than the other four? Just think about it. Modric, Pirlo, Kroos, Iniesta, Busquets, Scholes, Gerrard, Lampard and Xavi form a midfield generation that may never be replicated. Between all of them, only one Ballon d'Ors. Does that mean the one who won it was undisputably superior to the rest, or does it mean the award simply could not accommodate the scale of that generation? You may not agree yet. But I think this will drive it home for yous. Dembele. He has a Ballon d'Or and 2 Champions League titles. Mbappe, widely regarded as one of the two or three best players alive today, has neither at club level. So on paper, in this single snapshot of time, Dembélé outranks Mbappe. You can ask anyone who watches football regularly whether they actually believe that, and watch what happens. Now let's bring that exact same reasoning forward to the crux of the conversation. Messi has 900+ goals, eight Ballon d'Ors, more than any player in history. He has a World Cup, a Copa America, four Champions League titles, and forty-three major trophies, the most any footballer has ever accumulated. Ronaldo has 950+ career goals, the highest verified total in football history. He has five Ballon d'Ors, a European Championship, five Champions League titles, and so on. By the numbers, Messi leads the argument in almost every category. And yet millions of people around the world, right now, would fight you over that conclusion. Not because the data is wrong, but because Ronaldo made them feel something the data was never designed to measure. He made people believe that wanting something badly enough, working for it hard enough, refusing to accept its absence long enough, could actually get you there. That feeling does not live in a spreadsheet. Here is what Pelé and Maradona already showed us, and what we are watching unfold again right in front of us. Trophies tell you who won. Legacy tells you who mattered. And the saddest and most beautiful thing about this debate is that by the time it is finally settled, the two men at the centre of it will be long retired, and the people who watched them will still be arguing. Not because they cannot see the evidence, but because the evidence never quite captures what they actually witnessed. That is not a flaw in the debate. That is the whole point of it. I say this because people are saying now that Ronaldo doesnt deserve to be in the GOAT debate with Messi. Well, I am a Ronaldo truther. And I believe Messi is greater. But from the above, you'll be very dishonest to tell me you don't see how that can be subjective. Please, with civility, let me know what you think in the comments section. My name is Ajoje.

@eterisan_H @SirJarus 5 aside betting?? Relax?? Omoo....

@SirJarus We do not agree with them 😂. From their point of view yes. To me 5 a side is easier. I just run hard tackle pass move into space score. Imagine me at the Etihad. Where will I even play. What will I do?

Akor Adams has also confirmed. I don't think there has ever been a topic on Twitter with such unanimity among the primary parties concerned. All professionals that have contributed said 5-a-side is harder.

Ronaldo had 2 peaks. I treat both differently. The Ronaldo before Madrid and the Ronaldo after Madrid. Two very different players. Two completely different eras. And he conquered both.

CR7 FOR LIFE !!!!! 🔥🥰🥳🫶🏻 With or Without WORLD CUP GREATEST OF ALL TIME !!!!! ( GOAT) Ire o

@MUFC__Prince I don Run follow you

Before Ronaldo helped Manchester United win the Premier League in 2007, we had gone three years without winning the title. I watched Mourinho's Chelsea dominate English football. I watched them beat us 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on their way to another league title in 2005/06. I lived through the frustration. I lived through the heartbreak. Then Ronaldo happened. And suddenly United weren't chasing titles anymore. We were winning them. Three Premier League titles in a row. A Champions League. Back-to-back Champions League finals. So if you witnessed all of that and still choose to disrespect Ronaldo because you think you've found a shiny new toy in Bruno Fernandes, a player who has achieved nowhere near what Ronaldo achieved for this club... Shame on you. That's all I can say.

Some of you only know Ronaldo from highlight reels. I remember the pressure games. I remember Craven Cottage in 2007 when he scored the only goal of the game and kept United's title charge alive. I remember Goodison Park when United were 2-0 down, Ronaldo came on, changed the entire momentum and helped inspire a 4-2 comeback. Those weren't just goals or moments. Those were title-defining moments. That's how Manchester United ended a three-year wait for the Premier League. That's how we started winning again. That's how we went on to dominate English football until he left for Madrid. Some fans talk about Ronaldo as if he was just another great player. No. He changed the trajectory of this football club. Put some respect on his name.

She cried out “Nigerians please don’t forget us in the bush” and now total silence, we don’t even know if she’s alive. This could be any of us tomorrow if we don’t put out this fire.

The reason you think 11 v 11 is harder is because the first time dem put you for full field, you were running up and down like a mumu that doesn’t know his position😂😂 You Dey play 2, but you dey striker side OOP. Now you have to sprint back 5-10 times per half.

If you are from a poor home, and you start making it, take care of your parents first before anyone. I have one spiritual believe that the more you take care of your parents, the more God blesses you.

Life is funny sha.... Certain things you experience and you realise nothing makes sense...the beauty of humanity is in its chaos...keep striving, don't forget those close to you and expect nothing in return.

5-a-side is clearly more physically demanding. But 11-a-side shows your football intelligence (or lack of). That's why some players are king of 5-a-side but get lost in 11-11. They won't even know their position.

The 4th guy has also replied. He also says 5-a-side is harder. So, the four professionals I asked said 5-a-side is harder. None of them chose 11-11 despite the fact that that's what they play more as professionals.

Portugal before Ronaldo Qualified for 3/17 World Cup(1986,1996 & 2002) Qualified for 3/11 euros(1984,1996 & 2000) Major trophies = 0 Portugal with Ronaldo Made all 6 world cups Made all 6 European championship tournaments Major trophies=3 But they are not a small footballing country yeah??? Ok

I consider anyone who does not consider CR7 as the Greatest Player ever as dense

@daniel_ceezar @ahm_ehiz Oh well....who has actually played the midfield role??

@ahm_ehiz Football IQ is not about adaptability but your ability to read the game which Messi does better. This is why when football IQ is mentioned, it's usually midfielders in the conversation because they control the game by looking at everything happening around them in real time.

The most hilarious bits of football Twitter are Messi fans that proclaim that Messi is technically better. But when you lay it out via attacking attributes there's practically nothing that Messi is better than Ronaldo at. The only thing I give him is passing and dribbling. And when football IQ is mentioned I laugh. Ronaldo is the smarter player, this is exemplified in his ability to adapt to different tactical environments. He played under vastly different managers with very different styles. He has evolved positions across the years. Doing all of this without a single drop in output is insane. Compare that to the other guy that has played with managers that have mirroring philosophies and cannot stray away from those environments. Again, I find it really insulting when Messi's name is brought up when we are talking about Ronaldo
