Hard to blame a guy of course. But then just look at what Ronaldo does with a weaker Portugal side.

Its hard to say really, Messi brings different qualities to a game, he's not the pure goal-scorer like Ronaldo, he likes to operate the heart of a team, but if you surround him with poor players he's not going to elevate them much, whereas with Ronaldo all you expect is goals and regardless of the team he delivers goals.
Then again, neither player is really playing with a bunch of scrubs. You can maybe bemoan the 'lack of quality' of Portugal or Argentina, but that is relative, both teams are still chock full of World Class players.
