I don't know why but I still dont like or rate Messi, I don't know why I just don't enjoy watching him play. He can do magic but the bits of magic are always very similar despite being spectacular. I'm only 19 so can't take Maradona really into account, but from my time I'd say the Ronaldo at Barca/PSV/Inter was the best during my time, scored as many as Messi prior to this season, and a very wide array of goals. Goals similar to Messi's bits of magic whilst doing the thing Torres does mixed with the stuff the Portuguese Ronaldo does. Also may I add he's single handedly won the world cup for Brazil and almost did it for them the first time around if not for that weird injury and he scored all his goals in a weaker Barca team. Psv 42 goals in 46 app Barcelona 47 goals in 49 app Inter 42 goals in 58 app despite missing effectively 2 years of football due to knee injuries. I'd think most people would say Maradona but never really saw him play so for me Brazil's Ronaldo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dimEj_lA7J0  Don't get me wrong I know he's the best player int he world and I'd pay £100 to watch him in a big game but I just don't like him, it's weird. A mate whos a manc told me he thinks Hernandez is world class but to me seems to be missing that special bit of flair that all world class players have, and show regualaly. I have the same feeling with Messi that I'm not amazed at what he does anymore,
Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:
K-P Boateng, Gotze, Sturridge, Kroos, Lucas Leiva, Hummels, Kyriakos Papadopoulos,

but then Maradona took a very average Argentina side to the World Cup and won it pretty much single-handedly )
exactly why diego is still the best player ever .

I don't know what it is but say for example you could pick to go to a competitive game not too big like champions league but say a league game, for me I'd rather watch several other players over the past few years at their best than Messi now, and I do admit Messi is a better player than all of them but I don't enjoy watching him play.
e.gs
Henry at Arsenal
Ronaldinho
Ronaldo at mancs
other Ronaldo at Barca
Robinho at Real Madrid
Torres with us.
I don't know what it is maybe it's just the fact he plays Barca's total over the top footy which I personaly dislike.

I guess its understandable if you don't like a high passing game which is basically what barca do but you cannot deny his excellence( see 2nd goal vs real madrid champs league) That was just brilliant and no other player can do this besides Messi except Maradona in his day. Some people also ention that Messi cannot do what Maradona has done and take a average side and be successful but I actually disagree. Put Messi in the Wolves side and I'll tell you he will do them wonders and win many games just like Maradona single handedly. I am a bit of an original so I'l go with Maradona for now because he has delivered for both his club and country. Messi to make the next step up is to do something for his country and it doesn't have to be winning a world cup, he just has to be much more consistent and the Copa America is coming so you never know he might deliver there. Maradona for me.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

this is a generational argument. imo messi is the best ever not only because he is incredibly talented but he does with an air of, yeah im pretty good at kicking a ball. he doesn't care about all the nonsense that comes with being a footballer these days. just wants to play football and in this day and age where players care more about the money in their bank and what model they're shagging today. he remains a normal person, and maradona was probably the first player who cared about the fame and attention. making him the first in a long line of c**ts to play the beautiful game.

What the hell are you talking about? Is watching football a new thing to you? Maradonna loved/loves the game and in particular Argentina.

Messi for me, not only an unbelievable individual player but works his socks off for the team as well, Maradona although exceptional was not a team player and that tips the scales for me.
