Also I realize that the Ballon d'or is nothing if not subjective, yet Messi has been indispensable for Barca he scores, assists and always raises his level in the big matches as evidenced in the Champion's League final in '09 and '11. I guess what im trying to say is even though you have a point I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Messi in my opinion will without a doubt be remembered as one of the best footballers that have ever graced the pitch, once he hangs up his boots. But until then i hope he'll continue with his dazzling displays for many years to come.
I agree that he is young and probably has a lot more potential. Overrated was maybe a bit harsh. I respect him for what he his and his abilities with the ball. I just think Xavi is a much more "complete" player and would have deserved to win, even though he doesn't score as much goals as Messi - he is the main gearwheel in Barcas continued success.

And the best footballer to ever walk the face of earth was without a doubt Zinedine Zidane.

Messi, I saw every game of barca (and real) this year and he is the best. He's everywhere on the field, scores many goals, his passes are brilliant and his technique is awesome. theres no one like him.


watch messis pass to xavi. out of this world.

Xavi deserve it too, for being the best midfielder in the world. his "soccer IQ" is unrivaled.

Cristiano, he's awesome too, but unfortunately for him, there's Messi.

I think that Zizou is without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest footballers of all time. Up there with Platini, Cruyf, Di setephano, Maradona ect ect.

Xavi when asked about Zidane:

Everyone sees the game in his own way: Maradona said he was surprised to see Zidane spectacular moves despite his big size, Ayala emphasizes on the way he controlled the ball… How would you describe his game?
(After a long sigh) For me, Zidane is the best player in the world that spans the decade from 1995 to 2005-2006, and is one of the best players in the history of this sport. To see him play in itself is a real spectacle. He knew everything: he plays with his right as well as with his left foot, he can dribble, shoot at goal, he is good with his head. He is one of the most complete players I’ve seen in my life.
Do you have a story to tell us about Zizou? You often had him as an opponent.
He never lets anything gets past him on a football pitch. It’s true when they say he didn’t lose a lot of balls for even when I managed to steal a ball from him, he would never accept it. He would suddenly become a true warrior. Many people failed to notice that but on the pitch Zidane is very aggressive, very strong physically.

Thanks for sharing that. That interview made him even more pleasant.

+1.

Xavi will never reach his status.

Zizou is a symbol, a legend. Something Messi and C. Ronaldo haven't achieved yet.

Ronaldo will never achieve anything close to what Zizou has and Messi possibly will in the future.

The thing about Ronaldo is he SUCKS in the big games. Look at his last performane in el Classico. Or his performances in the CL finals he has played. Or Portugal's deciding games in the WC and EC. Ronaldo doesn't have "it", unlike the historic players who stepped up the game whenever it was needed the most.

Zidane was that player. CL finals, WC finals or any other big game, he dominated those.

Messi has been brilliant in the big games for Barcelona but has yet failed to deliver in Argentine's national team IMO. Still, he has a much higher lowest level than Ronaldo.

I'm not really sure about Ronaldo not having "it", only time will tell I guess.

Like you mentioned, Zidane was great, a true inspiration for a lot of football players (including myself when I was young).


The only player that is about to reach such a status as Zidane is Iker Casillas, he has won almost everything for Real Madrid and for his national team.

It's just too bad that goalskeepers will always be a little bit underestimated compared to midfielders and attackers.
If you ask me, they should have given at least one Ballon d'Or or FIFA award to Casillas.
