Liverpool related?

People talk about Rooney being electrifying and terrifying, but Messi is every bit as good as him, honestly and truthfully.

sorry thought i saw Carlsberg on his shirt

[Ombudsam]

He's unbelievable. That was awesome from him when he came on

[Falconhoof]

Zinha (however you spell it) for Mexico looked special when he came on. Another young star in the making.

 

Messi is something else though.

[Guest Sabre]

He is a great player but he was up against some absolutely knackered defenders.

Very true. They were going at some pace until 60 odd minutes and then tiredeness began to show on both sides. I was thinking there'd be a c**k-up from a tired defender that led to a late goal.

 

Heinze's non sending off was the key point of the match in the end. Mexico deserved it.

[Guest Sabre]

It was an obvious red card and I feel for Mexico - that will hurt for a while.

Rooney will never be half the player Messi is, or Tevez for that matter.

Rooney is better than Tevez.

Don't be silly. Rooney is easily as good as Messi and way beyond Tevez right now. Tevez is a good player but Rooney is superb.

[Falconhoof]

Tevez just shades Rooney for skill and strength but its a good comparison.

 

Tevez looks like a neanderthal. Look in any book about prehistoric man and you'll see a picture of Tevez fashioning a ball out of a mammoth bladder.

Great player.

True, but he's like that in La Liga.

I love him, one of my favourite players. Apart from his fantastic skill I particularly like that he does'nt dive with every challenge. He tries to stay on his feet even in the penalty area. How refreshing!

I hate to diasgree, but no.

You look at Messi playing, he runs at speed with the ball glued to the outside of his left foot. He can control the ball closely while still beating 3 men.

Rooney attributes are more like Tevez, but I feel Tevez is far better, he has more skill. Very similar though in both players games are based on direct run to goal.

tevez isn't a patch on rooney.

rooney isn't as good as messi.

[George Costanza]

I reckon Messi could go ont o be as good as if not better than Ronaldinho. Messi's the best dribbler of a football since Maradona IMO

 

Rooney's far better than Tevez but who gives a s*** about that granny shagger.

I'm no Rooney-lover but I think you're a little over-enamoured with those players because they're Argentinian.

Tevez is superb, would love us to sign him

We've only your word for that, grandma

[Keita]

Does Tevez look like baros or what

[Guest Sabre]

We've only your word for that, grandma

 

I'm way too young for him

 

Does Tevez look like baros or what

 

Yes, Baros but with the neck of a rhino.

Tevez is Rooney with more technique.

 

They are boths o powerful but you don't see Rooney megging people and doing flicks like Tevez does.

 

If Tevez had been playing in England for the last 2 years we'd all be saying he was beter than Rooney. Rooney's just been built up by the exposure and while hes an amazing player i think he;'s a tad over rated.
