It is very interesting to note the great predilection that some football journalists have for selective amnesia. Pele and Maradona played at world Cup tournaments when only 16 best teams in the world competed. Have these football journalists forgotten this important fact? It was extremely difficult then to win a match than today where you have teams like Uzbekistan, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Cape Verde.. Messi's hat-trick was against which team? Please can list the formidable teams Maradona confronted in his career in the world Cup? How many of those teams has Messi confronted? Messi is a great player in his generation but Maradona and Pele are a tall order for comparison with any player. Another ludicrous comparison is the number of goals scored in 1954 world Cup and the present one. There are many more games played in this tournament of 2026 than in 1954 because there are 48 teams competing now against 16 in 1954. So our esteemed journalists are ignorant of these facts?

Miroslav Klose wins were in 4 games less than Messi and his goals were.all from open play. klose played in 4 world cup Messi is in his 6th. So please show a lot of love to Klose
but when we told you that CR7 has scored many goals than Messi just because he(CR7) has played many games than him(Messi), you ignore this fact. what you have said is a fact

He’s played in 6, so it’s a reasonable record. After the group stages it may be more tricky, because they’ve added an additional game to the world cup, leaving anyone after this tournament the opportunity to break even that record going forward.

To be fair, some of this titles or awards don’t make sense. Football has evolved over the years. The amount of games played now are more than the games played 10 - 20 years ago. Also fifa has prioritised goal scoring to other things. Hence, the balls are made lighter and easier for strikers to score. I bet if this standards were applied during Pele and Greg Muller era thy probably may have scored twice their current goals.

Scoring from fouls and tapins don’t count as goals
They ain't even talking about goals they are talking about wins but you see all messi goals in the wc and you call that tapins well United can never have such player past or present
