I will be starting of with the big question, who is number 1 in the world, Messi or Ronaldo?

Well, Ronaldo is a great goalscorer.... but that is really it. He is not a team player whatsoever. He often shoots from range when teammates are open in better positions, and scores very few. His former coach, Jose Mourinho said "You cannot coach him. He thinks he knows everything". He is known for being a very consistent diver, and often goes down without being touched, as seen in this clip.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1LiWYJswZw

As most of you know, you will get a yellow card if caught diving, and Ronaldo should get an average of 4 yellow cards a game, which is 2 red cards, but thanks to refs not noticing, he rarely gets booked.


Now for Messi. A smaller, weaker player, but manages to score more and is more of a team player. Last year, he had the most goals in La Liga and the second most assists, and Ronaldo had the second most goals and was 7th in in assists. Messi does not dive, and is picked on constantly and is brutally fouled several times a game, but he sucks it up, gets up and keeps going. A quick warning, the lyrics in the soundtrack of the video are explicit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFu27JZMs1s


After looking at these facts, I have reached a verdict, and that is Messi is my choice over Ronaldo.
