I found the Argentina game almost unwatchable last night due to the ridiculous fawning over Messi by the BBC. As someone rightly said, it was a wonder he could play at all with Murphy so far up his ****.
Is he the greatest of all time? For me it's an emphatic 'no.' I think his numbers are skewed by season after season of games against Huesca, Levante, and others in La Liga.
I'd have Ronaldo above Messi, simply because he's done it in England, Spain and Italy - and while I'm too young to give an accurate view on Pele, I'd say both Best and Cruyff in my lifetime were above Messi. Given the mudbaths Best frequently played on, God only knows how many goals he'd have scored on today's perfect pitches.
Anyway, over to you...
