    don;t you worry ..
    Di Stefano (2012) Eusebio (2012) Menotti 2010, Romario 2010, Ronaldo 2009 .. and many did watch them ALL (ironically right at Messi and CR7 best, and of course including Maradona) and still claimed the same thing!

    Now, excluding Messi and CR7, by late 1999 to celebrate 20th century, many Media sources (France Football, IHFSS, Worldsoccer, Le Guerrin, Placar .... made a list of TOP100 best footballers and of course Pele was TOP (#1) almost unanimous ... (that including Maradona Cruyff and Di Stefano)

    So you didn't show the same courtesy for my threads, which took incredible amount of work, shut them down because you just felt like it.

    This is how you show your fairness, and support for free speech? Quick question do you have a superior or do you own this site?

    He's not unhappy with your moderating. He's upset you haven't been waking up at 7 AM every day to face Barcelona and pray towards Messi. You dun goofed.

    So 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses for Real Refdrid without Di Maria in Spanish football. Pretty good.

    Zero goals and no wins for Argentina without DiMaria at the WC. Pretty good.

    Only looked it up now though and don't know if is just a money making thing or if it could add some dodgy stuff to a computer.

    Is Messi the youngest player to score 400th goal in top level football? (no lower tier or regional football)

    Messi 27 years 3 months
    G.Müller 27 years 11 months

    Messi was the youngest to have reached 200goals in Liga at 25
    Muller also reached 200goals in Bundesliga at ~25
    Pele reached 200+goals mark in Brazil at 20

    yes the regional league , and plus Pele destroyed most biggest teams in Europe with even HIGHER goals per game (>1.25)

    So if Pele played in Europe at time instead of "regional" maybe he will reach 200goals at 19? LOL

    Very good question! If only count TOP leagues in Europe then probably and strongly Messi is the one (>80%)
    but I have to doublecheck ... for sure ( i think only Muller will be his main competitor, as Bican, Puskas were also playing in smaller leagues before)

    *100goals: Pele Maradona Basten Ronaldo Puskas Muller Messi
    ** 200goals: Pele Muller Puskas Messi Basten Maradona CR7 Ronaldo

    Now if we count ALL GOALS (all games in TOP leagues + NT)

    300Goals: Messi early 2013 (at 25+) edged Gerd Muller 1971 at 26
    400goals: Muller 1972 at 27+ = Messi 2014 *now 27 ... and probably Messi beats him in a few months (like you said)

    Very nice cross actually for the 2nd goal. Crossing used to be one of his mean weaknesses (has never been a good/accurate/efficient crosser) but that one was very good.

    Granada their defending and errors were beyond comical though. It was so bad it's funny.

    400th goal in top level football (no lower tier or regional football)

    Messi 27.3
    Puskas ~27.8 (end of 1954)
    G.Müller 27.11
    C.Ronaldo 28.11

    then what about Puskas in his Hungary league? Plese do not tell me Hungary league in 50 > Brazil leagues of 60?
    Anyway you know nothing of history football to say the least!

    I did agree that in all games of TOP level (by modern days standard ) that Messi reached 300goals first hand...

    Kind of true, population wise Hungary in 50's was about the same as Sao Paolo in 60's.
