CR vs Messi

[ederson]

It`s not a who`s best thread!!!

It`s about their duel for the first scorer in Primera

So far they`ve scored 17 goals (CR possibly 18 it`s about the Spanish league to decide)in15 games
CR scores every 75mins , Messi every 68 !!!

Possibly one of them (or even both!?!??!?!?!) will break a 20years old record. In 1990 Sanchez scored 38 goals (so did Telmo Zara 60 years ago) and at the 15th he had scored 15 goals

I'm rooting for Messi.

I hope my boy Drogba wins the Golden Boot again, even though I know there's no way that's happening this horrid skid the Blues are on after starting the season on fire.

sounds like Mcgwire vs. sosa all over again.  Quick, test them for steroids!!!

just kidding.  They are both incredible players, I wish they showed more Spanish league on TV over here.

I'm still a little stumped as to how the NBA's world champion Los Angeles Lakers could have lost to FC Barcelona's basketball team, albeit it was a pre-season game but still; Ricky Rubio's squad was making the Lakers look bad out there.

As for La Liga, as I've mentioned here before that I am a supporter of Barcelona FC so obviously I'm hoping Messi can edge-out C. Ronaldo (I'm more of a fan of the Brazilian Ronaldo, sorry) in the scoring contest, though the rest of the teams in La Liga may struggle to find enough supporters or even air-time in Spanish broadcasts.

We all know how fierce the rivalry between Argentina and Brazil is in South America, how much money the Euros spend on the sport, and also the fact that Mexicans hate American footballers to the point where they were throwing Mexican beer at American soccer players during the World Cup qualifiers in 2009. Either way, I don't think I can watch an entire 90 minute match anymore without being bored out of my mind so I think I'll just focus on watching the Celtics play this season...
