When Messi came back from Injury, he had 8 goals and Ronaldo had 23, now Messi came back and he has 21 goals and Ronaldo has 26 goals. Messi is on another level.
Mitch Corlett May I also add that Ronaldo has more than double the shots of Messi over the last 5 seasons, and plus he spends most of his time in the box play like a ST

WALL OF FAME: Marcin Robak from Pogoń Szczecin, His mom died the day before the game but he played anyway. He scored 2 goals that game which he dedicated to his mom. He currently is the most effective striker in polish Ekstraklasa with 18 goals and he scored couple weeks earlier 5 goals against one of the best polish team Lech Poznań. If he don't deserves to go on wall of fame i don't know who does. Gonna post it in every episode until he will be on that wall! REPOST IF YOU AGREE
Jaba Kankava for Wall of Fame. During the Dnipro and Dynamo Kiev game on Sunday, Dynamo right-back Oleh Husyev took a knee to the head from the Dnipro goalkeeper, and seemed to stop breathing and been knocked unconscious. Kankava seen the collision and seen that his opponent had stopped breathing and rushed to his aid, and stopped him from swallowing his tongue and helped him regain consciousness, and saved his life. This absolutely deserves wall of fame! #respect #walloffame #wof #copafam
Definite wall of fame Dynamo Kiev midfielder Oleh Husev was knocked unconscious when he collided with the Dnipro goalkeeper’s knee. But not only was he out cold, his tongue seemed to have blocked his airway. By stroke of luck or fate, Dnipro’s Jaba Kankava was nearby and knew exactly what to do.
Wall of fame -Jaba Kankava for saving Gusev's life on the pitch after he collided with the goalkeeper and was left unconscious, Jaba quickly realised something was wrong and sprinted to help Gusev who had his airway blocked, without kankavas quick thinking gusev could of died, if this doesn't make it onto wall of fame then what's wrong with you ?
Wall of fame: to Dnipro's Kankava for saving Husyev when he swallows his tongue. The player was down and suffocating and he immediately goes to save his life #respect
If you look at the stats in the last five season, Messi has been outstanding. He's a leader, he can decide a game all by himself. If you analys how he plays, Messi never dive. These days players fall down the little touch on the penalty area. Ronaldo is good but Messi is 10x better. He is the kind of the player that can play in any generation and still dominant.
"Your generation is too reliant on technology!" Said my grandad. "No YOUR generation is too reliant on technology!" I said as I pulled the plug on his life support machine.
He might already be there but Eric Abidal for the wall of game after he revealed he has been diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time, if he's already there that's not a reason why he can't be put there again, he was forced to retire from football and I think after his previous two successful battles and not giving up he is an inspiration to football and everything associated with it.
I prefer Zlatan and Cristiano Ronaldo over Messi but statistically Messi is far better, and for him to be out for 3 months and score over 10 goals in 15 games is pretty amazing.
Jaba Knkava for wall of fame for saving Oleh Husev's life after colliding with the Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk's keeper Denis Boyko knocking him out cold. Jaba being on the opposite team saw Oleh chocking on his tongue while he was knocked out and quickly saved his life. If he doesn't deserve to be on the wall nobody does. #respect
Dnipro's Jaba Kankava for the Wall of Fame. He helped revive Dynamo Kiev's Oleh Husev on pitch after going unconscious from an accidental knee to the head by Dnipro's goalkeeper
It's an insult that people keep comparing Messi to Ronaldo, Messi is quite clearly superior in every way possible and not an arrogant, cheating prick like Ronaldo. Messi is the greatest footballer ever, Ronaldo not even the best Portugease player ever.
Jaba Kankava should be in the wall of fame. He saved an opponent's life yesterday after he was knocked out during a match. He removed his tongue from his airways, massive respect! #Copafam
Victor Valdes for Wall of Fame! He played his last match for FC Barcelona against Celta De Vigo on Wednesday night. Tore his ACL and is out for the rest of the season and World Cup. He was a great keeper for Barcelona and it is unfortunate he had to end his career this way. Thats football and good luck to him wherever he goes.
Erizde Rios No they will be worse. The backbone will leave and unless they get proper replacements and stop the remaining players from leaving than I don't see why their league position should improve.
Dnipro midfielder Jaba Kankava was the hero of the day as his side beat Dynamo Kiev 2-0, but his new-found status had nothing to do with the scoreline.
ADunc10 You are so wrong, ManU does suck. It will take a year or two for Moyes, look how Ferguson started cuz looks like you don't know a shit. It took time but he really made a peace of shit team to play like worldclass, so will Moyes. It took time for Ferguson, and it will for Moyes.
WALL OF FAME: Jaba Kankava saved the life of Oleg Gusev in the middle of the game. Oleg Gusev jumped for a header and the keeper kneed him in the chest. He stopped breathing and Jaba Kankava came to the rescue and saved him by breathing into his mouth #hero #savior #needstobeinwalloffame
Erik abidal for the wall of fame as he just recently got cancer for the 4th time, which means he has retired from his football career. Let's hope he can beat cancer once again!!!
Wall of Fame: Jaba Kankava of Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (Ukrainian League). In a league game vs Dinamo Kiev. Oleg Gusev, captain of Kiev got knocked down by the Dnipro keeper by the knee and was left unconcious with his tongue stuck in his throat. Kankava then immediatly helped Gusev, as he tried to clear his airways and he succeeds. #Respect #CopaFam
Valdes has played his last game for Barcelona, he's out for six months and he'll miss the World Cup. Do you think he'll stay at Barcelona or would any team want to buy an injured keeper?
Italian Footballer Antonio Floro Flores for Hall of Fame for adopting a three day-old baby nicknamed Francesco who was found on a train and saying "After seeing little Francesco, we followed what our heart dictated". Also Dnipro player Jaba Kankava for Hall of Fame as he heroically saved Dynamo Kiev captain Oleg Gusev from swallowing his tongue in a match .
I think there's tension between Suarez and the rest of the team as he is less altruistic and not passing the ball to the players in more prefferable position, especially Sturridge, who becomes more and more frustrated as we could see in Sunderland. All that could have negative influence on our most crucial games, I fear.
Josip Drmic? thoughts 15 goals 47 per cent of his teams goals come from him and is only 21 apparently he is on his way to emirates really interestin IMO
Jaba Kankava for wall of fame, on the weekend in the ukranian football league, dynimo kievs captian Oleg Gusev took a knock to the head from the keepers jumping leg, he had been knocked unconscious and had swallowed his tongue, jaba kankava who was on the other team quickly reacted to the dynamo kievs captain and removed the tongue from the opposing players mouth, truly remarkable
I respect both futball players equally. My favorite is messi because I'm a Barcelona fan. If i wasn't a fan of barcelona, i'd probally choose messi cause of his beautiful foot work
After the arsenal Swansea game, I saw chambo driving home, when he stopped at the lights people surrounded him taking photos, but he got soooo pissed off when someone called him Gibbs. Closed his window.
Jaba Kankava for wall of fame he deserves it he most out of anybody- during a match an opposing player Oleg Gusev got kneed in the mouth and swallowed his tongue but Jaba reacted quickly enough to save his life he sale serves the best spot on the wall of fame because there isn't much people able to save somebody's life like he did
Awful referee for el clasico. The Ronaldo penalty (which wasn't a penalty) Alves didn't even get a yellow card. But the Ramos penalty was a direct red card.
Jaba Kankava for the wall of fame for saving the life of opposing player Oleg Gusev after he clashed with the goalkeeper and collapsed to the floor, jaba ran over immediately and pulled Oleg's tongue from his throat so he could breathe again , massive respect!
Dickie Borthwick for the wall of fame. This guy is 79 years old and still plays ameteur football. This guy is an absolute legend and is a great example for anyone that is considering hanging up there boots at such a you age! In fact, Borthwick just best cancer as he has such passion to continue the sport. DICKIE BORTHWICK FOR ALL OF FAME
Speak about Bayern Munich. My beloved team has now beat their last year record of claiming the Bundesliga title in record time (last year early April, now 25th of March). Not sure how Poet thinks United have a chance.
If you watch the replay of rooneys goal, you can see the ball is going the way that Adrian(the keeper) is, but starts to move in the air. I'm not sure if its because rooney didn't hit the ball cleanly, or the wind took it though.(I was there and it was pretty windy)
Messi beats Ronaldo on every level. He is just better statistically. It's close but everyone knows Messi is the best. Ronaldo is better at free kicks and maybe headers but it's just not even an argument anymore Messi is a god
Davie Cooper for wall of fame he is a Rangers and Motherwell legend and a Scotland legend he died of a brain haemorrhage in 23 March 1995 he was one of the greatest Scottish footballers to have ever play and Ruud gullit himself said in an interview that he was one of the best players he's ever played! Gone but never forgotten. Davie oh Davie Cooper oh Davie Cooper on the wing!!!
Jaba Kankava for wall of fame because he saved an opponent's life after he was knocked out during the match.He removes his tongue from his airways. MASSIVE RESPECT! By the way im watching from Skopje and you have never pinned a city in Balkan :) #copafam
In terms of el Classico, Messi wasn't involved as much which is understandable seeing that he just came back from an injury, so Cristiano was better, but got sloppy at the end. Overall Messi is better, you don't become the Liga's top scorer for nothing.
The Dnipro midfielder Jaba Kankava should be on the wall of fame after saving an opponent he was knocked out on the floor and jaba removed Oleh Husyevs tongue from his airwaves to save him.
I went to the arsenal game against Swansea and the worst thing was not the performance it was he fans in the middle who didn't move or sing or get behind the team the clock end and the opposite side got behind them poet what do you think can be done to boost the arsenal atmosphere
Shakhtar Donetsk for Wall of Fame because their striker Maicon ( Rest In Peace) tragically died in a car accident last month however the club will continue to pay his wages to his family until his contract runs out.

Definite wall of fame
Dynamo Kiev midfielder Oleh Husev was knocked unconscious when he collided with the Dnipro goalkeeper’s knee. But not only was he out cold, his tongue seemed to have blocked his airway.
By stroke of luck or fate, Dnipro’s Jaba Kankava was nearby and knew exactly what to do.
How is that even a debate. Messi is far superior to Cristiano. Cristiano was utterly useless in El Clasico.
No scored a pen.
Messi, by far the best.
Messi is the best of this generation, the best by a very far distance imo.

Messi by far:P
Ronaldo :)
Ronaldo
If you look at the stats in the last five season, Messi has been outstanding. He's a leader, he can decide a game all by himself. If you analys how he plays, Messi never dive. These days players fall down the little touch on the penalty area. Ronaldo is good but Messi is 10x better.
He is the kind of the player that can play in any generation and still dominant.
Danny Welbeck's miss! Thoughts?
I prefer Ronaldo but Messi is better...
Ronaldo!
Cr7
Messi is the best, Ronaldo is nowhere near as good. Makes me laugh when people say Ronaldo is better than Messi
Really man, it makes me feel sorry for people who say things just like you!...
Oh really give me one reason why Ronaldo is better
"Your generation is too reliant on technology!" Said my grandad.
"No YOUR generation is too reliant on technology!" I said as I pulled the plug on his life support machine.
He might already be there but Eric Abidal for the wall of game after he revealed he has been diagnosed with cancer for the 3rd time, if he's already there that's not a reason why he can't be put there again, he was forced to retire from football and I think after his previous two successful battles and not giving up he is an inspiration to football and everything associated with it.
Suarez is better than both!
Get the fuck out
Stats dont lie mate, Suarez has more goals (28) than both and has played less games and has more assists (11)
All messi
Is this even a question
Messi is the best one of the all time greats if not the best
Lol
At the end of this A-league season Harry Kewell will be retiring from football. Legend of the game
I prefer Zlatan and Cristiano Ronaldo over Messi but statistically Messi is far better, and for him to be out for 3 months and score over 10 goals in 15 games is pretty amazing.

ManU doesn't suck David Moyes is just a rubbish coach.
That's harsh it took ferguson four years to win a trophy...
Moyes didn't win anything with Everton either
ADunc10 You are so wrong, ManU does suck. It will take a year or two for Moyes, look how Ferguson started cuz looks like you don't know a shit. It took time but he really made a peace of shit team to play like worldclass, so will Moyes. It took time for Ferguson, and it will for Moyes.
