So according to you a tournament with a total of 7 games during the course of 4 weeks every 4 years is a much better measurement of how great a player is than club level with 40-50 games every year in all kind of formats playing against the very best players and teams??
With that kind of logic Messi would probably not even fit in the list of the best 100 players in history
Ok so to answer your questions 1- Not me but most football fans ya, World Cup>Champion's League or club success. As for Mr. Messi goes, he carried Argentina to a WC Finals., without him they tie to Iran and don't even beat Iran. So ya every now and then there are exceptions to the rule.
Heck you can say the same about Johan" Cruijff or even Lev Yassin, fantastic players who never won a WC, it happens but usually if all else is equal, WC wins.
You answered my question with another question tell me
how on earth is a World Cup Champion and a guy who had club success, hype? Everyone is entitled to their opinion but for now De Gea did it at the club level, Neuer did it at the club and NT level.
When you make these kind of statements, it makes me think you really don't believe it and are saying it for "shock value" like when sports talk show hosts in USA do it for ratings "Oh LeBron James sucks he's overrated, Neuer is hype."You can have De Gea, I will keep Neuer for Die Mannschaft and Bayern Muchen.
