who and why?

Messi can play as a CF, A-MF, or a winger. C.R play more like a winger. Both have amazing speed, and skill. C.R was more trusted at the World Cup (even though the he screwed up the chance to win Euro 2004). Messi was not used much for some reason, but he was very effective whenever he is on the field.
Club accomplishment? Messi has the edge.
Messi is better by much.

Lionel Messi is an argentine soccer player. Cristiano Ronaldo is a portuguese soccer player. Both are very young players I think Ronaldo is 20 and Messi 19. Both went to 06 Fifa World Cup. Ronaldo cries to much and Messi is very vuluptile but not quite there..............................i think Ronaldo he played better in the World Cup....They didnt give Messi a chance....but Messi has a better future.

nobody can take credit away from cristiano ronaldo for his amazing ball skills and sensational solo runs that often eat up the length of the field.
but taking a closer look as to how many of them have ended in the opponents nets leaves one dissapointed.
i would rather its a case of a contorted attitude in a person with immense talent and potential.
take for example the 2006 FIFA world cup. how many goals were scored off ronaldo's passes? none.
and the only one he sored was off a penalty!!
cristiano ronaldo often forgets that soccer is a team game and the ultimate objective is to score goals. i agree with those who are of the view that if you play the game, then play beuatifully - joga bonita!
i guess all the sheen is lost if you are dispossessed often in your solo runs or if you cap a spectacular run with a mispass. i would rather watch a 'defensive' match rather than a match with more than four fruitless 'runs' by cristiano ronaldo.
all this was amply illustrated in the portugal germany third place match where ronaldo after a zigzag run made a back pass without looking in that direction which was a bit too long for the defender, and germany almost made a goal out of that pathetic piece of 'skills'.
if you check the efficiency quotient of the player on the field and value it more than the 'wow' effect that he brings, ronaldo would never make it to your list of favourite players.
messi by contrast is a player who actually makes things happen.
there's a whole world of a difference between the two!

Lionel Messi, Cristiano is just full of himself, he has a talent but I dont see him shine like a true star, most people like him because of his looks, not the way he plays.
Lionel Messi all the way!!!

Lionel Messi is way much better..Messi is still a young player,but he shows what a big potential he has..and he is not a short-tempered person like C.Ronaldo..when a footballer is short-tempered,anything can happen,thus ruining the beautiful game..Messi is totally way much better!! Play beautiful games..play with peace..and that is Messi..!! ^_^ nice pic btw..

Cristiano Ronaldo..........

Ronaldo shone at the world cup in the eyes of everyone..but I think that was because Messi wasn't given much of a chance. I believe that he would have got a penalty in the match vs Germany...not to worry though...he has a long time to prove himself to everyone....not to me though...I already love him...
