Serena Williams inability to equal Ms Court's tennis record. Di Stefano never playing a world cup football match despite his prowess in the sports. Mike Tyson losing to Underdog Buster Douglas. Ronaldo not winning the world cup despite a stellar career. You may add yours..... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Obaaderemi2: Bros, I gat many! Nigeria losing to Tunsia enroute Argentina '78 in Lagos. Nigeria losing to Algeria enroute Espana '82 in Lagos Nigeria losing to Italy in the round of 16 at USA '94 Under 17 Canada Nigeria Vs Russia Marvin Hagler losing to Sugar Ray Ivan Lendl not winning the Wimbledon Arsenal Vs Barcelona UCL 2006 ( this one still dey pain me) Arsenal Unbeaten being ended by Ojoro laden Manchester United with a dodgy Rooney penalty. And it would be wickedly cruel if Messi did not get his hands on the World Cup. I hope Ronaldo stayed for and win it also as a Coach/Player at USA 2026. 2 Likes |

Obaaderemi2: Messi got his s World Cup, I do hope Ronaldo stay fit and have another crack at thee World Cup in 2026. For all those doing this Messi - Ronaldo thing, I laugh most times. Why not enjoy the spectacles these two geniuses display and shove the arguments? Some of the arguments are laughable most times. As for me, I don dey watch football before these two Mama and Papa meet and God Willing I will continue to watch it after they stop playing (that is if God spare my life). |

Lukuluku69:The duo of Messi and Ronaldo gave us a lot to cheer in football. Only small children want to kill themselves over the greatest rivalry of our time. Before it used to be Pele/Maradona. This one is too much. |

Obaaderemi2: You know this Rivalry of a thing comes with winning things. Check it out.. In almost every sports or should I say human endeavors, we always want to hand out the prize for the Best From Muhammad Ali " I am the Greatest" to Pele being "King" and on to Maradona challenging the "King" it has been an on going thing. It is safe to say people will always compare and say this or that is better. I think it is human, I just don't like the amount of energy expended on the venture. People abuse and curse each other! Lol On top what exactly? The fuel for this comes with the Athletes themselves in my opinion. I read Pele Biography and he very well let people know that he is the Best that ever played the game ( My Life and the Beautiful Game) Muhammad Ali said as much. For me, I enjoyed the spetacles and leave the debate ( that doesn't mean others won't debate it or enjoy the Debates though lol) |

Lukuluku69:You are very correct. The debates and comparison will always be there. I guess that's why neither of Messi and Ronaldo has announced his retirement from football. Probably each still believes the other is still holding a record he has to break. |

Obaaderemi2: Exactly. It is human nature I think and goaded on by the baying crowds appluading the Gladiators. Stats are rolled out, Stats are always been redefined and fine tune to make this or that Player the best that ever was. It is not going to stop soon. As long as the Games are still being played and we all are still watching. I will admit, the beautiful game have witnessed some unimaginable geniuses. I never watched Pele aside bits and pieces here and there but I watched Diego Armando Maradona, I watch Leonel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldinho De Lima and many many others. In my opinion , they all play Football but in a different position. Comparing say, Diego Maradona with a Gary Lineker is a bit funny. For me, there are Great Goal Scorers and Great Play Makers. I don't mix them in my comparison if I must. So, I find it a bit weird Comparing Messi with Ronaldo. Comparing the two is a great injustice to what they both bring the the Beautiful Game we all love. |
