I think he’s massively under appreciated.
But he’ll always be my favourite of all time.
That goal against Greece is up there with the best
Remember watching it as a kid.

A huge reprieve for him after what happened in 1998.
He was our only decent player on the pitch for most of that game
Don’t really remember the actual game at all but sounds about right for the early 00’s.

I fractured my hand punching the ceiling when he scored that

Cristiano Ronaldo is a better player than Messi in my opinion.

I seriously don't think you can say 1 player is the best ever as the era's are completely different plus you have 11 positions on the pitch in different positions.

I thought this until the Qatar world cup. Messi changed my mind

True. Preventing goals is as important as scoring them so where are the defenders?

Provide them. Who has been on the top of their game for as long as Messi and Ronaldo have

I can think of a dozen defenders who were proclaimed the best in the world throughout the time where those 2 were the 2 best players

I don't know enough about football. In theory there should be defenders who are as good at preventing goals as there are strikers who are good at scoring them.

Cannavaro won the Ballon D’or, I’d be lying if I knew whether he maintained that standard throughout his career though
