Messi and Ronaldo both leave a lot to be desired at the international level. I have made this argument before but I cannot include either of them as some of the best ever until they prove it at the international level.

Messi moreso then Ronaldo since Argentina has a much better squad top to bottom and they still struggle. I cringe when I hear Messi compared to Pele and Maradona since while he has success on a stacked club he hasn't led his team on the world stage like the true greats. Ronaldo at least had some good showings in Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006.


Back on topic with Euro news. I hope the Dutch win today so we see all teams on 3 points heading into the final day.
