Owen is pretty amazing tbh
It's been pretty obvious, nobody has packed him in the millions upon millions of packs that have been opened since legends came out. It wouldn't surprise me if the Messi thing was true but saying that they gave Jay Rodriguez that 95 rated player card.
Just lol at this response from an EA advisor:
We need to do Owen Vs Crespo at some point, not that I stand a chance of winning against you, still!

Ronaldo doesn't have an ego. He trains harder than anybody else. It took him years of training to perfect how to strike a knuckle ball, etc.
All of his skills and strengths have came from years of hard work.
Messi on the other hand is just ridiculously good at getting past people on the ball and his shots are so powerful and/or accurately placed it's ridiculous.
Both are completely different types of player Ronaldo IMO has put in a lot more work to get to where he is, Messi is more naturally gifted

Well the documentary about him where guys like Rio Ferdinand who have captained their club and country said he was a nice guy and down to earth and knew that he was a part of a team.
Fergie also didn't tolerate egos etc.
Unless the money has now gone to his head but I think fergie would have grounded him and instilled it into him and he was his main mentor
If he has changed its probably real madrids fault due to sticking him on a mantelpiece and treating him above everyone else

Sonny you can't be serious about Messi? Have you read about his youth? He had to be injected with growth hormone into his lower spine just to become bigger/strong enough to actually play professionally, it's also quite a painful experience which he went through for a long time.
Hardly naturally gifted lol.
Ronaldo is 6ft 2 and clearly has better genetics than Messi.

I think Ronaldo's goal record is pretty incredible. Not sure on exact figures now but I think it was like 164 goals in 151 apps for Madrid just in league games!
Apparently he's also donated to charities and done things like fund treatment for a kid who had cancer.

Both very different players. Ronaldo is more about power whereas Messi just glides past his opponents with his low gravitational body. However, as good as both of them are i would still choose Messi over Ronaldo.

You do know that growth hormone also most likely helped him to become as good as he is? And is a illegal substance if used by athletes without medical grounds such as his?
Compare Messi to Ronaldo just with their celebrations... you tell me who has the massive head?
or which one opened their own museum about themselves?
Yes that's exactly why he isn't naturally gifted, without that HGH nobody would know who he is today.

HGH helped him but his natural talent is definitely the reason why he is so good.
HGH didn't turn Ronnie Coleman into a pro footballer for example.
Giovinco is smaller than messi and still a pro so its hard to say that. He wouldn't be as good as he is though, that's obvious HGH definitely improved his ability but it was something that came natural to him
I don't think you realise how small and how ill Messi would have been without the HGH. He had a disorder where his body basically didn't produce GH naturally, it affects many things right down to your immune system which means you're more or less constantly poorly and weak.
