I was going to say, A dollar bill folds in your wallet, the Falcons fold in the Super Bowl?

Next GOAT?

LOL

PELÉ 24 years old

405 goals - 308 matches (1.31) - SANTOS
43 goals - 42 matches - BRASIL (1.02)

MESSI 24 years old

243 goals - 341 matches (0.76) - BARCELONA
24 goals - 73 matches - ARGENTINA (0.33)

Best avg goals x matches:

Pele: 1.41 - 75 goals - 53 matches
Messi: 1.30 - 86 goals - 66 matches

......

I don't think Messi is as good as Pele, nor even as good as Maradona. But he's better than Cristiano Ronaldo. I will also say that playing for Barcelona is very different than playing for Santos. Different level of competition.

It's poverty ball. An activity played in the irrelevant regions of the world

Why would it be mentioned on our sports networks

What an ugly take.

How pissed am I. I was watching the game at work on my slingbox, and shut it off with like 10 minutes remaining. I figured the game was over at 5-3 aggregate with such little time left. When I heard the sports headlines in the car on my way home, I had to do a double take. Oh well. What a choke job by PSG. I thought Cavani's chance earlier in the 2nd half might come back to haunt PSG, and it did.

I watched that Juve choke last year. The coach did the team no favors bringing in Mandzukic for Morata late in the game. Their counter became non existent and the dominance in possession, combined with the lack of any real threat from Juve, help do them in at the end. Terrible choke job. This was far, far worse.

Different level of competition.

played with a club team the quality we get to see once every 20-30 years.

Messi is a different player with Argentina than Barca for example.

100% agree with the first part, but Santos was the greatest team in the 60's. Brazil won 58/62/70 and Santos won the world championship a lot of times. Nowadays, there is no competition btw both teams because the money talks. But in the 60's all stars used to play for their national clubs, that's why Santos was better than Barcelona.

I hate PKs........I understand they are necessary, but I still don't like them.

It was a playoff game in the most important and prestigious club futbol tournament. For the rest of the world this will be the comeback of the year and deservedly so.

To me, the rest of the world is irrelevant regarding sports. I realize that's just me and my opinion.

I also never want to see an NFL team outside US borders. I believe football is "Our" sport and don't want it diluted by international expansion.

Yes, I'm proudly selfish with our NFL! Let's not share it. When it comes to sports, I'm a Nationalist.

I'm Irish American but only the American part matters to me

I'm also 100% against a world government!
