I'm an Argie fan and those who know me long enough know I got mad love for the Messiah BUT I don't think he's better then Kaka at this time.

Kaka has proven himself at club level & International level.


Messi on the other hand just can't seem to get it done as of late with Argie. We have failed time and time again and Messi has yet to show up for Argie. Club wise he does his job and I can't argue with that.

However Kaka has transitioned from Serie A to LFP and has done it well along with playing a key role for Brazil in all qualifying games for the WC2010.

Xavi is def. underrated but I don't think he's any better then CR9 so he's def. not better then Messi or Kaka which IMO are ahead of CR9 at this time.

First off It was the European Player of the Year not the world my mistake .

Secondly not often I disagree with you Mick imo your usually spot on in everything you post about, but Messi without a doubt deserved the award.


Lets look at his stats from last season

Played 51
Scored 38 ( Not even a striker )

Assists 18

Leading goalscorer in the CL ( Best compition in the world )

SO basically he had a hand in at least one goal in every game he played quite amazing stat if you think about it.

Kaka as i pointed out before for his standards had a very quiet season imo and would of been lucky to make my top 50 list.
