not only messi was never in the same league as diego, pele or cryuff, he was not even close to the likes of Brazilian Ronaldo, Zidane, romario, van basten, matheus,....
so funny how messi has consistently been games greatest super star against the like of la liga teams and iran and bosnia and an absolute 0 when it mattered against tough sides whether in europe or in WCs.
Yet FIFA and their corrupt asian, african and carribean delegates push him as player of the tournament !?!? lol
its over folks, get off the bandwagon, joke is over
