    Tomas Rodriguez Messi is better than Ronaldo. But from 2003/04-2013/14 you actually had to try and defend Ronaldo but since then he’s just evolved in to a striker.

When you watch Ronaldo it's like he has a supernatural knack for both the pass and position. He punches way above his ability. For me, he's the best. Messi is undeniably also a great, I watch a lot of his games too. But it's just not the same feeling I have when watching him.

    England's golden generation underachieved for three reasons: Brazil, France, and Italy. During that period, England had great players, but if you're comparing their players to those other 3 countries at the time, you can see why they underachieved. Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Argentina and maybe even Germany were in similar situations at the time. Don't get me wrong, England's golden generation squad was great, but it wasn't comparable to the other 3. Although, I do believe that England's squad at the time would've probably won at least a Euro or World Cup in modern football, as they were very talented.

    No jamie. You cant judge world class as being the best in a given position, thats ridiculous. World class is subjective but it cannot be the same as "the best". We have a category for the best left back or best goalkeeper, they are called "the best left back" or "the best GK". I would say World class is being in the top 3 or 4 in your position in the world. Again subjective, as some might say top 5 or top 10 but certainly not top one. Ashleycole was more than a world class left back, he was the best left back on the planet for years.

    Finally hearing an honest answer to the question “Why didn’t that England team win anything?” - Not good enough. I’m sick of hearing nearly every other retired player from that generation bandy this narrative around that they’d have won something if they’d been mates and hadn’t been so competitive with each other with United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal players in the same dressing room. BS. In my opinion they’re trying to rationalize not being good enough, it’s their coping mechanism. Don’t care what English players someone can list off and say “X, Y and Z were world class, what you on about mate!??” That’s a different debate. What isn’t up for debate is that England were outplayed in every round they went out in during that time.

The vast majority of football experts i.e. pundits, legends and footballers, most of them say that Messi is better than Ronaldo.
