Messi is the best

Lionel Messi is the best player in this years.and beside messi there are a lot of football player who playing good such as : Christiano Ronaldo,Van Persie,etc.In last years also there are a good football players : Ronaldo,Beckham,Del Piero,etc.But Messi is still human being.He has a weakness too.In Barcelona he played good because in team other players has knows about character and habit of Messi,so messi can playing good.But in Argentina National Team Messi look not good. I think because in national team some players seem played individual.

No, he is not the best I have ever seen, I would have to say Maradona, Cruyff even Ronaldinho were better than what he has been up to now (players I have seen, there were probably just as good players back when games weren't televised), he could get there though he is very talented. This best player is a very difficult subject, it all depends on your point of view and who your symphaties lie with, Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player, but apart from Real Madrid fans nobody likes him so he would never be voted best. Besides this is a team game, Messi looks so great because he has great players by his side and they ususally play for him (in Barcelona), with Argentina he doesn't look so good because the other players don't exactly play for him.

All of us may not agree whether Lionel Messi is the best soccer player but we, objectively, have to agree that he is an exceptionally brilliant player and the dream of any manager! Messi is equally lucky to be playing for a team that is full of good players hungry for success. For me, personally, it's difficult for most of us to state categorically that Messi is the best ever footballer. What are we going to say about the Brazilian legend, Pele! A school of thought believes that Christiano Ronaldo is the best footballer today. There are many players know globally who were very good in their hey days. For me, it's difficult to just conclude that Messi is the world's best.

yes i think messi is the best now i don`t think we only blame messi if he play poor in his national team

Without a doubt, Messi is the best player at the moment. But soccer is a team game. At Barcelona, Messi has top players playing alongside him. Xavi, Iniesta and gang. But in the Argentina team, there is no such players. It just add more pressure on Messi.

Messi is one of the best players, if he is not the best, in the world at this moment. To compare his achievements in Barcelona and the Argentina national team, the difference is pretty obvious as day and night. He has scored so many goals for Barcelona and yet he has not been as prolific while playing for Argentina. The only explanation is that Barcelona builds the team around Messi. They play the way that suits Messi the best. They do everything to support Messi. They have the right kind of players that can bring out the best from Messi. As for Argentina, he is just one of the players. The Argentine manager has to consider the strength and style of his other players, so it is not always possible to let Messi play the way he likes best. And that reduces his effectiveness.

Messi is a really talented footballer... well, there are some footballers whose game I really like, but I'm not sure who could be called the best, as I'm not an expert. I like Xavi and Sneijder as well.
