Is Messi the best player in the world?

Question

Why?

Answer 1

Because he's the stand out player in the Best League in world football!

Answer 2

One of the best atleast...

He has good football brain, he isn't the fastest player and he doesn't have the best tricks, but more often than not he picks out the right pass etc.

Answer 3

YES

no one dribbles like him, no one is as fast as him, no one makes lightning quick passes like him, and to top if all off he's ONLY 21!

He has such ridiculous talent, he was FIFAs second best player of the year and the only reason Kaka got it was cuz of AC milans champions league run (kaka is old too).  He's done so much for the argentine national team, and he could get them the gold medal once again this saturday.

Answer 4

I dont think that hes the best but he maybe one the youngest best if you know what i mean  

Answer 5

I have a Barcelona jersey saying Messi on the back

Answer 6

I don't think he's quite the best at the moment. His close control and dribbling is probably the best in the world, but I feel Ronaldo is more explosive and better end product and Kaka also has better end product. Whenever I've seen Messi his dribbles quite often end with an appalling shot. He's got the potential to be the best though, definately.

Answer 7

I don't think that he is THE best.

But he's definitely up there. He has AMAZING potential, he's only 21 and he's played on probably the best forward pack in the world (Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Henry)

Another point with Messi, he's inherited Ronaldinho's #10, which will give him a lot more fan popularity. He's a great player. The best? Maybe in a few years.
