For football/soccer fans, predictions for the World Cup

RE: For football/soccer fans, predictions for the World Cup
Christiano Ronaldo is my favourite soccer player. He is a former Manchester United player and I'm greatful for his contributions there. We did miss him when he left.

For the longest time I was a Messi hater for the sake of Ronaldo. Eventually the little maestro's brilliance won. Compared to Ronaldo, Messi is the player you'd pick. He is a consistent player who actually performs in the big games. I turned a blind eye to this for a long time. Ronaldo has just let down too many times in big matches. He virtually becomes anonymous! I used to manufacture excuse after excuse for this. Eventually I grew tired. Coming out of England, yes he was the best, but in Spain Messi is king. Ronaldo rips apart smaller teams. He's a small team killer. Messi is a killer period.

Ronaldo works harder than Messi sure. But like I said, the man for the big occasion is Lionel Messi. It was such a pitty he couldn't solidify his status permanently by winning the world cup.

In the champions league final played on Portugues soil, he was a non feature. His contribution was a lame penalty kick that nearly got saved. The only highlight worthy Ronaldo moment was his over the top celebration for an unnecessary penalty.

I forget the name of the company that did the valuation of player costs. Messi was the most expensive player in the world at double the cost of Ronaldo. Luis Suarez was voted third.

Ronaldo is the ballon d'or holder only in name. The better player will always be Messi. Let's not forget he at least has world cup finalist to his resume and player of the tournament. Messi keeps collecting accolades.
