hahhaha everybody is soo afraid of Argentina hahaha you jsut dont admit we are one of the greatests teams ever this time. btw if you actually think that brazil is gonna win pff think again becaue brazil was good in the past, cafu, ronaldo and all of them are gone now. kaka can try but the teams isnt best enough to even beat paraguay xD England is a very strong team and I think it has a great chance of winning, but argentina does as well.

Brazil isn't about the individuals anymore, they're very good as a team now.

Some players like Kaka keep the old Brazillian style but players like Elano help keep the team well orchestrated. They have a better chance than Argentina for me.

Argentina. Individuals and not a team and a bad manager but me off Argentina. Come back once you've become a team. That reminds me that Argentina broke the Hemisphere pattern when they won it in 1986 in Mexico.
I would have a better signature but I can't think of one.

Nah, there actually is such thing as West and East by the way. Due to the lines of Longitude.

But anyway, back to football.
Yes. Does anyone else that isn't Argentinian hate Leo Messi for being so good?

I don't think he's the best.

His tricks etc. work in the spanish league but I'm of the believing he gets found out against stronger opposition such as in the Inter games in the semi-final of the CL.

Doesn't show up for Argentina either.

Ronaldo is still better for me.

Remember, if it hadn't been for that poor decision with the handball, Barcelona would have been in the final.

Messi is the best player in the world..I really don't think that Ronaldo comes close, I really don't. Messi just does some unbelievable things, but makes it look ridiculously easy...Sure I think I'd need to see him in the Premiership to fully judge, but from what there is too see, he is clearly better than Ronaldo.

Ronaldo > Messi
Messi is only good with Xavi and Iniesta on his back. Ronaldo made Man Utd 'Ronaldodependet' (Man Utd this season didn't won even one trophy) and that's happening again in Real Madrid. Wait for the next season, when he will be trained by Mourinho, then you'll see how better he is than Messi.

About the thread question, Brazil or Spain will win.

If rankings actually predicted outcomes, Brazil would beat Spain. And Either the Netherlands or Portugal would get third place. Unfortunately, they don't...
BATTLE RECORD: 47-6

wow, my dad is so hyped about this year's world cup. He can't shut up about it. I'm a bit hyped about it as well.

I personally go for Mexico, but I also go for the US team.

Even with him, Madrid didn't win anything this year. This might be because Messi scored against Madrid at the Bernabéu and Ronaldo didn't.

If you are so good that you make everybody else in your team look bad, then maybe there is something wrong, after all. That's something that doesn't happen to Messi.

And, in the end, if Barça found a way to get the most out of him, what's wrong with it?

Man Utd did win the Carling Cup, even though it's a minor trophy, they won at least one trophy atleast..

Messi would have contributed little toward that though.

Inter made him very quiet.

I think he's close. Ronaldo 26 in 29, Messi 34 in 35, obviously both brilliant goal rates and the advantage to Messi gets clamped down once you consider it is Ronaldo's first season in a team that had a lot of new players to gel and Messi's support from midfield is greater.

I think it really says something for the average defence in La Liga really. I'd like to see Messi play a season in a league a bit rougher or with tighter defenses.

Yeah, I agree. A lot of goals put on a plate for him by Xavi, not denying he creates his own aswell but still.

Mourinho training Ronaldo, mouthwatering. If what most people here believe is true and Mourinho comes to Manchester United after Fergie retires then I'm hoping that he makes good relations with Ronaldo and brings him back to Old Trafford.

Man Utd did win the Carling Cup, even though it's a minor trophy, they won at least one trophy atleast..
I think its classed as a major trophy actually, its just with the fa cup its lesser known and less cared about.

Thinks like the Johnstones Paint trophy are minor.

HAAHAHAHA IGNORANCE!!!!!!!!! MESSI IS PLAYING FOR US IGNORANT!! hahahah and you say you like soccer, or as its really called FUTBOL!
Not everyone calls it soccer and I'd say most people who do are from USA/Australia/etc. so its unlikely that he does, they may call it soccer in Portugal though no idea.

Its not ignorant what he said about Messi though.

For History we all had to randomly pick a soccer team that's playing in the World Cup and we have to wear their flags' colors each time we have class. And if your team gets eliminated you have to wear black for a whole weak. I got Nigeria ;__; guess I already know what color I'm going to wear. *Looks for black clothes in wardrobe*

Don't disrespect Argentina, they may have a bad manager, that's a given but you have to agree they have more skill than the US and most of the other teams. I think it's gonna be either Argentina, Brazil, Spain or South Africa. South Africa has good luck with home or did you guys forget the rugby match?

Please. I'd pay just to see that. Specially if he hasn't won anything major here by then. I might start pitying Madrid instead of hating them by then

As far as I know, only the countries with another "football" call it soccer, as you said.

In portugal, it's called "futebol".

btw we dont hate messi here, we dont like hm so much because hte onily thing he cares about is money.

Ok, maybe Man Utd won one minor throphy without Ronaldo, but was only one compared to a lot more the other seasons. They miss Ronaldo, that's for sure.
The Real Madrid problem this year was called Pellegrini, it's a shame of coach. Also, it was the first year of a lot of stars in the club (Ronaldo, Kaká, Benzema), they need to adapt first to the spanish league. Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc were already adapted to the league, so Barça was superior. But in the next year Barcelona will see the full potential of the Real Madrid team.
Just to finish, I also hope Mourinho comes back to the Premier League, but the next time to Man Utd (after Fergie retirement, of course) and takes Ronaldo with him. That would be awesome! (Man Utd is my second club)
