I forgot about KPB. For some reason, I thought that he was older than he is, he's only 28. I haven't seen him play in a while.....will be interesting to see what he can contribute

Messi is not the greatest. Stop it y'all
Until he can lead Argentina to a WC title, he cannot be considered one of the greatest. Dude gets exposed for the fraud he is when he plays for the national team.
Dude played in 06,10,14 world cup. If he is that good, he would have done something within three WCs. The greatest prove themselves at their first WC. Case in point, Ronaldinho. Dude lead Brazil in the world cup singlehandedly when they beat England after being down a goal. If he wasn't scoring, he was assisting and making plays for others to score. That's how you define greatness
Barcelona was doing terrible in the early 2000s. They signed Rijkaard then ronaldinho and their fortunes turned around. Ish wasn't by coincidence. When you're that good, you don't just will your self on command, you will your teammates to want to win.
Ronaldinho > Messi
Society doesn't want to give melenated people the credit they deserve

I don't agree with all of that but I feel you on the main point which is why I voted no 
. R9,Dinho and Zidane at their peak are still the GOAT's that I've had the pleasure to watch. Messi's just about at that level but I don't know if I'd put him past them in my eyes. I'm talking strictly about pure skill/ability,couldn't compare Dinho's relatively short prime to Messi's consistency. Career wise he has just about everyone beat in terms of accomplishments/#'s.
Dinho is still the most exciting player ever to watch imo

A simple "nah" vote on the poll could have sufficed...

posting in here for page 666 which is all me lol.
love coupe's response lol
Idc about the GOAT discussions because its to each their own. but I will say this... 'Dinho playing was so exciting to watch but most importantly for me personally is that 100% of the time he genuinely looked happy being on the field. the camera didn't lie and maybe the Joga Bonito got to me but his smile and having fun the entire time makes him a GOAT. never mind the stats he put up

I started watching in the 06 world cup so I missed peak Fenomeno and Zizou. Also didn't know the game well enough to fully appreciate Ronaldinho, but from what I've seen Messi > Ronaldinho. And Ronaldinho will always be a favorite of mine.
I've also heard enough old *** commentators who did get a chance watch Maradona and the aforementioned players at their peaks say that Messi is the best they've ever seen to be inclined to believe that he is at least third best.
The most difficult and most important part of the game is scoring. and he's a goal scoring and creating machine.

People these days just have short attention spans. Dudes just follow what's trending and hop on to the next trend
5 goals in three world cups (four scored in 2014)
Straight fraud being promoted by FIFA and Adidas to rake in money. Let's not forget that BS award he got for best player at the 2014 WC

No thats not it at all. Recognizing that Messi is one of the best to ever do it does not mean we have a short attention span.

Messi is the best I've seen, but he is far from my favorite.

The best to ever do it, you look at their career and you remember them tearing it up for both club and country. With Messi, the only glimpses are while playing with Barca. Complete blank when you try to think of what he has done on the world stage with argentina
Zizou 98, 06 WC 02 CL final
Dinho 02 WC 05-06 CL campaign
Pele
Maradonna
Eusebio
Ronaldo Nazario
The list goes on. Dudes put in work for club and country winning games singlehandedly

I said one of the best to ever do it not the best. I don't think thats something people can even debate at this point that he is at least one of the best to do it.

Yep. That 1st half was pretty damn entertaining!
Certainly more entertaining than Utd 1st halves...

TBH Zlatan is the GOAT. Srsly imo.
But Dinho was the first soccer player I've ever known. He was a representation of what the game was to me when I was younger because I didn't follow it. So I thought ALL footballers were that nice
But they ain't
Dinho is in a class of his own imo.
I like Messi though. One of the best I've seen in my much more limited time following the sport.
