Barcelona...

...is the best.

Am I right?

 

[Crayo]

They used to be. Real Madrid have joined them now as the two top teams in world football.

Fantastic to watch when they have the ball (and off when they press). Their whole team dives apart from Messi and the whole world are bias and never ever mention that. But yeah, I'm a fan of them.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Well.. I guess they are.


With Messi. If he ain't around, they are alot worse for sure.

And Iniesta, he's so grossly underrated it's not even funny. Xavi is their Paul Scholes.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Iniesta underrated? He's pretty widely recognized as the #3 player in the world

 

[Zamorakian]

Without Xavi and Iniesta, Messi is just nothing.

No he's not. Not at all. Sure, Fifa acknowledged him in World XI but the #3 players shortlist will always be Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney atm.

Also, it's not only that, I watch every single Barcelona game. He's never praised for what he does. If he goes past 3 players and chips a ball to Messi who chips the keeper, Messi gets the praise as being the best player ever.

Facepalm. Yes, those two make a massive impact and are responsible for a lot of his goals, but even without them, he's the best player in world football with Ronaldo. Messi is outstanding.

Tbh I reckon a front three of me, JeebaK and Messi would score multiple times. He's just got amazing movement and close control.

lmao @ Rooney. He's maybe top 10

Anyone with a brain has Iniesta at 3 or 4. You care too much about what idiots think.

Have you watched his matches with the national team?

Third example:

That's a few examples on why he can't do it without Iniesta and Xavi.

You might think, wow he misses, what's up with that? Watch the whole Nigeria vs. Argentina match and compare it with a normal Barcelona match and then tell me the difference.

 

[seabs]

A lot of players struggle to perform for their national team due to varying styles of play and tactics. Take for example Rooney, he's on fire at Man U but when playing for England he usually lacks that spark.

@[Ziggles] That was 2 to 5 years ago bro..

Doesn't say anything about the current situation.

It was the latest World Cup? He was still the best player at that time and won the prize for it too so it doesn't matter if it was 2 or 3 years ago.

Latest World Cup was 2 years ago. And 2 years make a big difference, my friend.
