South American World Cup qualifications is like a war zone compared to Europe
This is what many don’t understand, they just look at the players to determine the difficulty of the sides, physicality plays a big part.
And yet the Argentina and Brazil, who have been nothing special the last 20 years, manage to qualify every time. If it was that hard one of them would miss out occasionally. It's not like Ecuador, Venezuela and Bolivia set the world on fire at World Cups - even Brazil and Argentina haven't any time recently.
@@XhoowieX please remind me who played the final against Germany in 2014, so the WC before the last one, and lost 1 - 0 in extra time? I thought it was Argentina, right? Who beat Switzerland, Belgium, and Netherlands before the final, so maybe you need to do a little research..
@@XhoowieX Are you aware that Argentina almost missed the WC and barely qualified at the very last match?
@@peterp7541 For the 1994 world cup (which was Maradona's last) Argentina had to go to the play offs against Australia to qualify for that world cup.
Ask Colombia or Chile fans how hard it is to qualify. These are sides that you'd wager would take an England to penalties in a knockout phase.

He's playing worse were he already is, just look at the sorry state of US soccer, they can't even get more income than their women's team. (edit: joke alert, this is a joke)
Gibraltar and Andorra are worse than Cyprus

Messi would have so many goals if he played for Spain. Including 2 Euros and a World Cup.
With the Spanish squad then and maybe now he would have had more euros than 2
And it would not have been just 2 euros and a wc
They probably would’ve lost those euros and World Cup finals if Messi played, remember Germany in 2014 and Chile in 15 and 16 where Messi missed his penalty in the final 😹😹😹
He should have won with Argentina had he found a good manger to manage the international team
What kind of statement is that? Who wouldn’t have? The real ones do it regardless. He’s had his chances, still has one left.
See..Messi is not about scoring goals only..Messi is also about making other players to score goals..
Messi has scored these goals for Argentina playing so deep like a midfielder and that's what surprises me the most.
You are right. His IQ football is out of this world. He starts action from the middle with long range pass, tika-taka passes or dribbling players... In a second is at the right spot to finish the action. Like if there were two Messi on the field.
When he had the speed, it was like three Messi on the field. It's pretty obvious when he scored his famous goals against Brazil.
Messi certainly would have scored a lot more than he currently has, I'd back him to be somewhere in the 140 - 160 range in terms of goals, and the stats back the fact he'd have scored more. Here's some fun facts for those who mentioned Messi playing friendlies for his numbers.
The Fifa ranking goes from 1 - 211 right now, obviously the higher your number the weaker the team likely is.
Ronaldo's games vs teams ranked 100 and weaker - 32 games, and 30 goals (that's just an amazing number of those games to have played)
Messi's games vs teams ranked 100 and above - 7 games and 12 goals. Ronaldo has played almost 5 times more games against such opposition
This continues....
Ronaldo vs teams ranked 80 and weaker - 54 games and 49 goals (an amazing number of games and goals)
Messi vs teams ranked 80 and weaker - 16 games and 21 goals (even better)
Approximately 42% of Ronaldo's international goals have come from Estonia type opponents (41.9%)
Approximately 24% of Messi's international goals have come from Estonia type opponents (24.4%)
In terms of games played against really weak International teams (80 and above)
Approximately 29% of every international game Ronaldo has played is against Estonia type opponent, for better context, think "For every 3 - 4 games on average he plays opponents like this once" (28.7%)
Approximately 10% of every international game Messi has played is against Estonia type opponent, for context, think "For every 10 games on average, he plays an opponent like this once" (9.9%)
Friendlies is where Messi gets the chance to play more diverse opposition depending on scheduling, both weak and strong, but mostly strong as seen by him only playing 16 games against those you'd consider really weak, Ronaldo on the other hand has to play these teams in 2 cycles of qualifiers for the last 18 years, no fault of his own of course, it's just how things are, but when looking at their International goal records, this should let you understand context.
Messi's still seems to be better than Ronaldo in terms of goal contribution on the International level, despite this real handicap.
Messi now has 86 goals and 49 assists in 162 games, which is 135 goal contribution at a rate of 0.83 per game
Ronaldo's numbers are at 117 goals and 32 assists in 188 games, which is 149 goal contributions at a rate of 0.79 per game
Still son....messi score 6 goal in farmers league...🤣🤣🤣 and again this has proved that Messi need good player around him...without them he just below average palyer
@@longdrive385 depends on the coach tactics man in both the GOAT's cases, unless u give them the ball properly in a proper tempo of the game u cant expect them to produce magical moments
You wanna make people cry

I've always supported Japan in World Cups since 2006 and that won't change but I'll hope Argentina go and win it all this time around.
Japan were absolutely excellent in 2018! Not just they're overall gameplay but even their country men in the stadia. I'm supporting Argentina too.
Good luck supporting a finished country
@@ThaboW11 That game against Belgium was a rollercoaster of emotions
Lies again? Hello QNB
I wonder how many PELE would have scored had he played against Europeans. Funny how it is usually a diss against Pele he didn't play in Europe. Funny people.
Just imagine prime Messi playing in Europe every years like Cr7
This not a form Messi and he scored five imagine inform Messi
Would that logic have applied to Pele and others from that era? Remember South American football was superior to European football back then
Just imagine Cr7 being assisted by the same quality of players as Argentina every year.
@@meks1478 Is that the reason why Messi still has the most goals as well as the most assists for Argentina
He's an all round genius
@@dipanjandhar2316 we are comparing him to Ronaldo, not other Argentinians. Ronaldo has the most goals not just for Portugal, but more than any other player in the history of international football, so imagine what his numbers would be if he had the same quality teammates as messi at Argentina.
About time people asked these questions.
Azerbaijan, Armenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, San Marino, Faroe Islands, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Slovakia, Finland, Czech Republic, Cyprus, Bosnia, Northern Ireland, Andorra, Gibraltar, Lichtenstein, Hungary, Serbia, Ukraine etc etc
That’s a ton of farmers
Czech Repulic Ukraine Serbia and Hungary would easily qualify in the conmebol system let’s be honest
South America has 10 teams competing for 5 spots in the World Cup with teams like Venezuelan, Bolivia and Paraguay. So Argentina path isn’t any harder then Europe so stop
@@Oilers9909 You think Bolivia away is easy 😂 Only Venezuela are weak
Okkk.... Hungary, Ukraine, Serbia, Czech Republic and Finland don't fall under that category. They are a step above. Comparable to Venezuala and Ecuador
First time Messi played one of the teams Ronaldo scores hattricks against, he scored 5 goals. Hope you all get it now
Don't worry he scores less goals in every competition than cr7, don't get over hyped...... Enjoy your day eat right so that ur brain can work properly.
Ronaldo also scores vs Spain, France, Germany, and Netherlands. Remind of a time Messi scored vs these big teams?
@Mamata Dan he has 0 goals vs France, Spain, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Brazil, and England combined in competitive games. I know you tried to be clever, but it won't work
Edit:
Goals vs Fifa top 10 in major tournaments:
• Ronaldo - 12
• Messi - 0
Goals vs World Champions in major tournaments:
• Ronaldo - 6
• Messi - 0

Messi has always been going up against the likes of Chile, Columbia, Uraguay, Mexico and Brazil his whole life. Every world cup qualifier its been like that. European teams on the other hand have been playing lexumburg, latvia, morocco, montenegro, etc. Its an easy road to qualify in europe. In south america all the heavy weights play one another.

@Ackeem The question is about qualifiers headass. You only face one big team in your group and the rest are average, below average.
@Ackeem All the Big teams are placed in different groups in Europe so that all can qualify for the wc otherwise WC will lose lot of viewership, that's a norm since ages now, so he won't have to face them 95% of the time in WCQ or European Qualifiers.. even you know that

You won't see this advantage in South America, For SA teams the competitive matches are WC, Copa America and Conmebol Qualifiers .. that's it 👍

I’d argue that the African qualifiers are the most difficult of all the continental World Cup qualifiers considering the very little difference in quality between the top teams and underdogs and the fact that 50 nations have to fight for just 5 places
Yeaaaah…noooo, the qualifiers in south america are a lot harder.
in asia how many country we have?😅😅
its just a brasil and argantina and they always go to the wrold cup
and u say its hard😂😂😂
a few years ago messi didnt even play in their qualifiers
Thats because the level of play in Africa is still developing, there are still teams in Africa who are superior than others in talent, money and etc. Examples: Cameroon, Nigeria and Ghana. And they will play against Botswana, Madagascar, Congo, and etc.
Whilst in South American qualifier you play against the same 10 nations every qualifier, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil, thats already 10 difficult fixtures + adding Bolivia altitude breathing which adds 1 more difficult fixture. To a total of 11/18 hard fixtures. And remember South American qualifier is one group with 4 spots. Also Ecuador has been good recent years, Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela put up a fight they arent better than the others on paper but are willing to put up a fight. Compare that to a San Marino, Liechenstein, Cosovo, Luxembourg, Faroe Islands and it is quite laughable.
@@titofernandez1500 True, in my opinion, I think the style of play in South America is totally different than Europe, watched African team play here and there, but the South Americans play real gritty and they are nit afraid to take your legs out if need be!
Yours is another inflexion to the conversation. A worthy one at that.
Around 200 goals for sure
Messi scored less competitive goals in his whole career (47 in 114 games) than Ronaldo since turning 30 (56 in 57 games)🤫🤫🤫 Ronaldo scored more than twice as many competitive goals (97) than Messi (47). Half of Messi's international goals are scored in friendlies. Just like their UCL KO records, Messi and Ronaldo's international records could never be compared.
@@jelle5859 competitive games are these wc and euro qualiffiers, where Ronaldo players against low ranked teams like lithuania, faroe islands, bosnia where he went on to score tons of goals. you missed the entire point of the discussion, there are no copa America qualifiers, and for wc qualifiers all 10 teams are put in a single group (5 of which are top 20) where as in europe there are euro qualifiers and wc qualifiers where 54teams are divided in 9 groups where Ronaldo gets to play against such poor teams. when ronaldo is playing euro qualifiers there is nothing else in South America apart from friendlies.

Too bad Leo Messi isn’t European.If he played teams like Luxembourg,Macedonia, Lithunia,Lativa,Estonia,Malta,Andorra to qualify for the WC or Euros,he would have like 200 Internet goals at minimum 💁♂️
Actually it would be close to 1000 goals going by your assumption he’d score 5 every time he played these teams
i llove the facct that no one considers the idea that he'd play for portugal
this is why Cristiano's "record" is a joke when he scores 30 goals against latvia, lithuania, andorra, etc.
Messi is far better than Cristiano against worst opposition. He is more technical and can expose teams all by himself. He would unironically have over 150 goals by now.
It’s not Ronaldo’s fault that he plays for Portugal. He plays against good national teams as well. Scores against the big teams, both players are amazing just enjoy the greatness.
Gab is a very smart guy.
Ive always said this for yrs. All South American National teams are fully professional. In Europe you have a good third of the teams that are semi pro and amateur level. Im speaking of, Andorra, Luxemburg, Liechenstein, Estonia, Gibraltar, San Marino, Armenia, Faroe Islands, Moldova, Malta, Latvia, Georgia, Belarus, Lithuania, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Cyprus ect are just to name a few but there are alot more. None in South America go lower than 78 FIFA ranking. Usually 80. And the other 9 are usually top 50 in the world. They had 5/6 national sides at one point in the top 20 for decades. Especially Brazil Argentina Uruguay Colombia and Chile recently. Plus the weather conditions in South America and pitches are way worse depending where you play and you have huge humidity and altitude matches which you cannot find in Europe. Thats why Pele Ronaldo Batistuta Romario ect never scored as many as Puskas Cristiano Ronaldo ect. The Americas goal record stood for that long for a reason under Pele which was 77 international goals for over 50+ yrs.
Gab always makes more sense than other guys. :)

South American Qualifiers may not have the player quality all across the board, but the stadiums you have to play in are brutal. There are teams that would have no chance on the road then dominate at home. In Europe you play minnows quite a bit to qualify and they do not exactly have fortress stadiums.
Why is Gab blinking so much. 3:21 😂
Makes me laugh when the anti Messi brigade say teams like Bolivia and Venezuela are comparable to nations like Estonia, Lithuania, San Marino, etc. Those teams are far ahead of the lesser European nations. Facing Bolivia at altitude is anything but an easy game, even for sides like Argentina and Brazil. I've no doubt Messi would have a better international goal to game ratio than Ronaldo if he got to face the minnows Ronaldo does in qualifying.
You seem to forget that Messi plays in South America for the 2nd best team, Ronaldo plays in Europe for Portugal... not for Germany, Spain, Belgium or Italy, not for Netherlands, France or England but Portugal.

@@nicolashernandez2355 Messi is still a better goal scorer according to ratio so it makes no difference..there you go
Messi=goat
How can a choker and bottler be a goat lol
@@cloak-and-dagger9660 bruh obsessed with Messi all over this comment section. Sad af
F no
One is playing against a country ranking 100+ worst than india and one is playing against 14 ranking i Know my goat
@@2EZ4CR7siuuu Messi played against Italy ranked 7th and won lol. Played against Brazil ranked 1st and won.
pendu struggled to qualify against North Macedonia ranked 112th. I know my 🐐
Straight to the point please
Willie miller, Jim Leighton etc
He would have more qualifying goals, but instead of having a chance every year to win a 2-team tournament he'd have to try once every 4 to win the one with the best teams. More goals, but probably no trophies.
Exactly… people speak on the copa like it’s even close to as hard to win as the euro. Playing twice as often as the euro he should have won more then 1 by now.
@@Oilers9909 With spain he would win 3 euros atleast
@Matias Martinez copa American held 2015, 2016, ,2019,2021. So pretty much twice as many as the euros
@Matias Martinez accept that’s not true at all lmao, the average ranking of the teams Portugal faced was 15, compared to the average ranking Argentina faced was 31.
@Matias Martinez Speaking of inaccuracy, the Copa America was played like four times in 6 years bro... Maybe you're the one who's not well informed 🤷🏽♂️
Leo would have 200 intl goals if he choose to play for Spain, he proved vs Estonia that he deserve the bdor this year. Penzema getting beaten by Denmark while Leo destroy Estonia
Dont be that delusional
You delusional
What kinda crack you smoking ?
getting Ballon D'Or for a friendly win over Estonia. Crikey. These are desperate times.
What are the odds I have a dentist appointment tomorrow as well 😭
Pele, Ronaldo De lima, Ronaldinho, Baptistuta, Maradona, Suarez etc all played in South America yet Messi is the highest goal scorer in south America. imagine if these players played against all those lowly ranked teams in Europe, they would score a whole lot, now imagine Messi playing in Europe, it would be a whole bunch of goals
Pendu would have switched allegiances if he had the chance to go to Spain.
Imma big messi fan but don't tkink Ronaldo would have done if there was a chance
@@kaurshaijal4203 Nope he would. I mean hey, we all know how much he wants to be known as the GREATEST
@@qwertyzxccvk if that was the case he wouldn't have left prime united to join a struggling madrid competing with the GOAT barca team
@@qwertyzxccvk not to foreget leaving CL three peating madrid for juventus
It's stupid how a friendly is over shadowing what Bale just did with wales.
What did Bale do ?
what did he do?
I like the way people uses the name MESSI to attract fans n viewers in every videos posible everywhere. 😊😊😊
Gab is smart enough to admit it... And then there are those Marine Biologists...
Depending what team he’s on he could have more than now. but Argentina also plays some gimmes to
Man Ronaldo plays against andorra, Luxembourg , Lithuania , hati etc
Bolivia and Venezuela are the only weak ones in South America, all the others are very competitive (brazil, uruguay, chile, colombia, paraguay, peru, ecuador)
@@Bruno-nd2zw and even Bolivia and Venezuela do not just roll over all the time
@@kaurshaijal4203 yet Messi has scored tons of goals against Nicaragua, Guatemala, Haiti, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Bolivia, Ecuador, Costa Rica and so on
@@palashrawat401 man what's wrong with u guys, have u gone insane?? It's not about the number of goals but the number of games Ronaldo gets to play with these weaker Europeans teams
He would have scored alot because the worst teams in Conmebol are as good as mid tier teams in Europe. Alot of European teams draw easy groups in qualifying and get to play teams San Marino, Gibraltar and Moldova
Gab blinks for every syllable for each word
THE CLASS OF 87!!!!! FCBARCELONA MESSI, INIESTA AND XAVI AND THE REST💕⚽️⭐️❤️🐐
Like messi scored 70 goals in farmer league this year😂😂
Bikash Onta sounds like a 🤡
I thought mbappe said it’s easier playing in South America compared to Europe
Mbappé should play some games in South America. At least that way he could actually have an opinion based on experience instead of bs.
Have Mbappe play in La Paz
@@death2641 Exactly! He wouldn’t be able to even make one of his typical sprints down the pitch. He’d be out of breath in the first minute.
ESPN fc talking sense ...rare moments
Really took something from Twitter and made a segment about it🙄🙄 typical ESPN
Firstly, this was a friendly match with no stakes, not a world cup qualifier. A tuned in defensive team almost certainly guarantees you don't score as much. Secondly, an individual's brilliant performance doesn't just become a multiplier that way. Other players would also want to score in other games, and this is logic is almost a way of implicitly qualifying Cristiano's record.
So there are no soft teams in South America just Europe? These Messi fans so sickening…. N oh no it’s d first Messi ever play against European teams.. so sickening
You're a fool
Messi Bias ESPN 🤩
You forgot some teams like Andorra, Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Moldova
