Cristiano vs Messi
Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi
In the sport of soccer there are great legends that have been recognized as the best of all and have been compared a lot. But as in the present generation the top players are Ronaldo and Messi who are entitled as the best in the world in many ways. And lots of people argue the fact that Messi is better than Ronaldo or vice versa. Many people say that Messi is better than Ronaldo. But as in my point of view Ronaldo is better than Messi in many perspectives of soccer. Ronaldo is better than Messi because of his physical conditions, skills and play style. These qualities help a person to determine who is better than whom. There are many others but I find these are the main ones which differentiate between two players and allow their abilities to be compared.
Their physical conditions are quite different. Ronaldo is six feet tall and is built with muscles. His tight muscles cover up his body so that we can feel the power even when he is just standing. Messi is five feet and six inches in height with a plain body He looks like dwarf compared to Ronaldo. He was found with growth hormone deficiency. For example, during the semi-final Liga BBVA cup, Messi was unable to get passed the defenders by himself and needed someone for support. But Ronaldo rushed passed the defenders humiliating them by scoring 4 goals and carrying his team onto the finals and making them win the cup. So, Ronaldo's physical conditions are completely different than Messi's. Ronaldo has a higher advantage than Messi due to his tight muscles that helps him win the match and carry his team.
The difference in physical conditions also changes their play style. Ronaldo usually breaks through the defence line with his speed and power because of his physical conditions. Only a few world class defenders can catch up to him whereas others get humiliated by being dropped or getting the ball through their legs. His long range shots are incredibly fast and accurate that

    LeBron James or Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player of all time? That is the question that is constantly being thrown around in the media and in turn, to all of us here at home. For me the answer is quite simple, and I will tell you why. Jordan (MJ) is “the best,” nd LeBron is the second best, or is he? MJ won six rings and LeBron James won just one. Does that make MJ better or not? MJ played in the Bulls and LeBron played with Calves, then moved to the Heat. I like MJ because he was so good and never really showed off, he was selfless. I don’t like LeBron because he shows off too much and plays dirty. MJ was a team player and LeBron is ball hog. I know the NBA is way different now, considering that a lot of the NBA players are stronger. Well this evaluation can determent by the championships, skill, popularity, who had the better team. Maybe you can say MJ is better in the 4th quarter than LeBron or other way around. Other differences between MJ and LeBron could be that, Jordan had three seasons of playing college basketball with great players and a great coach. MJ won an NCAA championship and would then later learn how to lose in the same NCAA tournament. He understood how to win with great players and how to play with role players and make them better. Because of this, LeBron will never have the leadership ability of MJ. LeBron could not teach his teammates in Cleveland how to be better and to be a champion, he had never been there. But you can say that does not really matter because skill matters more than leadership. But does that really matter? So what’s more important “How their stats looked in their first year winning a championship” or “How they perform?”…

    Comparing two things can sometimes be like comparing a red apple and a green apple and other times like apples and oranges. In this case we are comparing Henry V, this great king who is honorable, noble, and a great leader and a young to some despicable peasant girl who thinks she can tell people what to do because she is a prophet from God. These two characters although have the same goals, be a leader and prove yourself to your people, could not be further opposites. In the plays Henry V and Saint Joan the difference in class is apparent with him being noble and her being a peasant, Joan of Arc was more persuadable because she was considered an underdog and didn’t follow the social norms of the time.…

    “When I meet a European, the first thing I say is, “I’d much rather watch football than football.” But I’m just teasing them, and they know I’d really rather watch football than football.” (Jarod Kintz). Football and soccer are two very different sports but at the same time they do have some similarities. Football is very much a contact and strength sport and soccer is more of a technique sport. But football does require technique as well, and soccer requires more contact than one might think. Differences include scoring, gameplay, field size, equipment, and game length.…
