The Ronaldo is better than Messi argument is a higher level version of Hendrick was better than Hughes.

There's plenty who are happy to obviously and vocally wrong, and there's the rest of us that know Will is a bit special.

It's also just as tedious.

There's nothing new put forward by either side, just the same things repeated over and over, same as Messi and Ronaldo's play. Time for something new.

"Ooh Messi cuts inside and runs past a player before either laying it off for someone else to tap in or he passes it past the keeper."

"Wow! Did you see that finish from Ronaldo where someone else/his team put it on a plate for him."

Hope they both retire at the end of next season.

Give it another 5 years and someone else will be the Greatest ever.

Greatest of all time who didn't show up vs Iceland ?.

To be fair neither did Ronaldo against Iceland in the Euros, their record almost identical and whined equally about Iceland's playing style

Messi 11 shots - no goal

Ronaldo 10 shots - no goal

Fair play to Iran, what they're doing makes sense and they're doing it well so far, but duck me it's dry.

If all football was like that it'd have less profile than badminton in 10 years.

I just can't stand either side of the argument. Both are world class players, why can't we just enjoy both? People on both sides that pretend either Messi or Ronaldo are about conference north level players.

Personally, i want them to settle this in the ring MMA style, with fabulous flurries, dirty tricks and all, but no use feigning injury

Spain put 3 past Portugal, but can only put 1 past Iran. Portugal put 3 past Spain, but could only put 1 past Morocco. 

Does that main Spain and Portugal both have really poo defences? 

Also, just realised that’s doesn’t mean Iran are out by a long stretch. If they could beat Portugal, they’re through. And if they can nearly draw against Spain, then that’s doable. 

Do you reckon it’s worth just sending an expendable player to straight up knock ronaldo out? You’d end up with 10 men, but Portugal are very average without Ronaldo. 

Not exactly sporting, but got to be a tactic worth considering.

Bit of an understatement that...
