Ronaldo or Messi! Paddy Power Pays Fine!

Firstly, remember Nicklas Bendtner's Paddy Power underwear? Well Paddy Power has agreed to pay his 80,000 Pound fine. They said that all their fans flooded Paddy Power's inboxes saying to pay his fine and he should not suffer part of UEFA's harsh punishment. Meanwhile Bendtner will still have to surve his 1 game international suspension.

Today as the main event, we compare two amazing forwards, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. I am not going to do any big background check or life story before this, I am getting strait down to stats.

Cristiano Ronaldo started a season ahead of Messi and is two years older than him. This is not a big age difference compared to my last comparing of the two Super Mario's. As soon as Ronaldo got to Manchester United they started playing him, and he got 4 goals 4 assists. Messi, in his first year at Barcelona got one start and seven sub-ins, with 1 goal and 0 assists. Through each of their second season's Ronaldo still got more chances and more goals, but this time he only beat Messi 9 to 7 on goals scored. Oh and by the way Messi scored 7 goals in 23 games while Ronaldo only scored 9 in 50 games. Then you could say that both in both their third and fourth seasons they where about even. In their third Messi had 20 goals and Ronaldo had 12, but the difference was Ronaldo had 7 assists while Messi only had three. By the time it was both of their fifth seasons, they had gone from good to great. In the rest of Messi's seasons including his fifth, he scored 206 goals. This is all club competion and no International play. In the rest of Ronaldo's seasons including his fifth he scored 218 goals. Of course this is all club competion and no International play. In assists (Including Fifth Seasons) Messi has 76 assists while Ronaldo has 52. I got all these numbers from ESPN.com if you would like to check my answers.

Yes, I know I did not do National teams with these two. For one reason is, people never seem to care how both of them do in international play AS MUCH AS they do in club play. People still care, but when it comes down to it, they always seem to compare them through club play. Both are captains of their National team and we have seen Ronaldo play more recently then Messi.

In my opening paragraph tomorrow I may do the trophies they have one, since I did not do that today!

Good Bye!
