    the 2nd best player i have seen ever! maradonna still and always will be the king and zidane comes in at 3rd for me. but this wee man messi is utter amazing. just superb watching him and unlike wee poser boy ronaldo! he just keeps running at you even if he is getting punted up and down the place.

    Internationally he is nowhere near as good. Until he starts playing like he does for Barca for Argentina he'll never be considered the best ever.

    I think that's as much to do with Argentina falling apart for the last 4 years than anything else.

    They are under a new coach now and they are getting things back together. I reckon that's when you will see him shine.

    He actually didn't play bad at the World Cup, the luck just never went his way.

    Until Xavi and Dani Alves change nationality he won't be able to play like he does for Barca.

    His attitude will hold him back despite his ability.

    No question for me he is the greatest player in world football today and if he can stay injury free long term will definitely end up on the list when people are talking about the greatest ever footballers.

    I would hate to see Barca bring Neymar in, he's a diving little ego motivated *, belongs at the fascists. The next Robinho.

    I agree, he's nowhere near as arrogant as people make out. There was this video a few months ago that showed him sticking up for one of his teammates when he was getting beaten up on the training ground. He is a diver to be fair, but most players from that part of the world are.
