Messi penalty, Armani save secure lucky draw for Argentina. (Reuters Photo)https://www.theweek.co.uk/football/90293/ronaldo-vs-messi-the-rivalry-statistics-goals-and-awards-ballon-do This is where I found my information.

Messi plays for Argentina. He has scored on an incredible total of “680 goals, 277 assists in 834 appearances. He has a total of 52 Hat-tricks. Messi has also had a total of 86 pk’s also known as “penalty kicks” 25 of them have been blocked or just have been bad shots that didn’t go in.”

Image result for Ronaldo then if you compare that to Ronaldo’s stats he has scored also a very incredible “705 goals and 219 assists in 981 appearances. He has a total of 55 hat-tricks which is nearly the same as Messi. Ronaldo has had a total of 115 pk’s 23 of those have been blocked or have been bad shots.”

Now your pro badly thinking the stats make it look like Ronaldo is better than Messi. So if you look at the number of goals they both have. Ronaldo is winning by a few goals but there is a reason for this. Messi has way more assists then Ronaldo does. Which shows that he passes more and doesn’t just take the shot right away. Another reason why I think Messi is a better overall player is that he has only gotten two red cards in his career Messi’s red card against Chile in the 2019 Copa America was only the second of his career. He had only seen red once before, at his Argentina debut. He was red-carded in 2005 just 43 seconds after coming on as a sub versus Hungary. Where Ronaldo once received 11 red cards for Juventus in his career, six for Real Madrid and four for Manchester United. That indicates that in my opinion, Messi is a better player/teammate.

Well, that’s all folks and I hope you learned something new about this sport/player. If you enjoyed this blog stay tuned because I will be posting in the near future.

Hello! I’m back with another blog post in this post I will talk about another top 3, but in this top 3, it’s about the most expensive soccer balls. Don’t worry these soccers balls to cost like $1,000+ that would be insane for a soccer ball, but there is a soccer ball covered in diamonds that cost like $16,000 but we are talking about soccer balls you would use on a field.

Anyways how about I stop talking and start this list off with number 1.

1.) At number 1 we have  Adidas Soccer Confederations Cup Official Match Ball is used in FIFA confederations cup games by professional soccer players in the 2017 Confederations Cup.

Its price is almost $130. Excellent design. Made with premium polyester. So, the ball is highly durable and very soft. Adidas use thermally bonded seamless surface technology in this ball. So, it performs best and holds air for a long time. It also comes with excellent texture and graphics, which make it more attractive to all soccer fans. $130 is a lot of money for a soccer ball, but if you were me or any soccer player than you know it might just be the best $130 you have spent.

2.) At number 2 we have the Adidas Finale Cardiff Match Ball this ball isn’t as crazy as the first just so you don’t freak out saying OMG! I bet this one cost $120 or something like that because it doesn’t.

This official match ball only costs $99.99 not as expensive as the first one I was telling you, but you didn’t believe me. It is made with high-quality TPU materials, which make it very durable and performing. It has a thermally bonded seamless surface that offers an excellent touch and quick ball control. Its bladder can hold air for a long time. So, your ball never loses its shape. This top match ball has excellent graphics and the UEFA logo.

3.) Finally, at the number 3 spot, we have Adidas World Cup Official Match Ball this ball looks amazing in my opinion I’m not saying the other soccer balls don’t look good because they all do number 2 has to be my favorite but this ball is cool too.

It costs only $99.99 the Adidas World Cup Official Match Ball is the most popular soccer ball of our list. It made with synthetic materials. They use 83% TPU and 17% polyester materials to make the outer part of the ball. So, both ball controlling and play are extremely easy with this ball. Its latex bladder offers excellent air retention, which keeps the ball in original shape.

If you have read to the end thank you for tuning in and reading this even though it might be terrible I still just want to say thank you! anyways thanks again and until next time.

Adios!

What up! I know it’s been a while since my last post and I know none of you guys missed me because you never cared to begin with, but oh well. In this post, I will talk about the top 3 most paid soccer players in the world I may also include some fun facts about them so it isn’t boring.

NOW LET’S GET STARTED!!!!

Starting off with number 1

1.) Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi takes the number one spot on this list. Lionel Messi is an Argentinian soccer player the FC Barcelona forward is the highest-paid soccer player, earning $111 million and taking home $84 million in salary and winnings, and another $27 million in endorsements. That’s crazy money I wish I could make as much as him, but I am nowhere near being good as him.

FUN FACTS!!

1. Messi’s full name is Luis Lionel Andres Messi.
2. Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in Rosario, Argentina.
3. Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, which was stopping his normal growth rate at a tender age of 11. No wonder he’s so short.

Number two!

2.) Cristiano Ronaldo

The second person on this list is Cristiano Ronaldo I’m going, to be honest with you Cristiano Ronaldo isn’t my favorite, but I’m still going to talk about him for all of those people who actually like him (disgusting). Anyways Cristiano Ronaldo takes home $61 million in salary and winnings from Real Madrid and $47 million in the endorsement, for a whopping total of $108 million. That’s a crazy amount of money, but not as much as Lionel Messi because he’s just better.

FUN FACTS!!!

1. Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Portugal.
2. Ronaldo has scored more goals than any other player from Portugal. In 2014, he celebrated his 400th career goal.
3. Ronaldo signed a lifetime endorsement deal with Nike in 2016.

NUMBER THREE!!!

3. Neymar

The last person on this list is Neymar! Neymar can get pretty crazy on-field even when it comes to flopping because he flops a lot. Either way that’s not the point Neymar the point is that Neymar makes and he made $350 million within his contract. Neymar plays for Paris Saint- Germain, but the crazy part about this is that when Neymar transferred to Barcelona it cost $263 million. That’s actually insane! never thought it would cost that much did you, but now you know.

FUN FACTS!!!

1. Neymar scored his 100th professional goal on his 20th birthday.
2. Neymar nearly joined Real Madrid when he was 14. I wish I could that, but I can’t cause I suck.
3. Neymar is Barcelona’s ninth most and PSG’s most expensive purchase. Barcelona paid nearly $100 million for his transfer from Santos in 2013.

Anyway’s that’s all I have for now I know it was short and I’m sorry, but next time I will make it better that’s even if there is a next time. For now, this is all I got and I’ll see you guys/girls later.

Goodbye!!!

Hello! It’s Marvin again in today’s blog we will talk about the 3 best soccer cleats keep in mind that this is in might preference and what I think are the 5 best soccer cleats. If you have any more suggestions and what things I should do next feel free to tell me in the comments, now for these cleats I will arrange them from the highest price to the lowest and why they are good cleats now let’s get started.

Let’s start this list off with the Phantom III Dynamic Cover!

 1.)Phantom III Dynamic Cover.

The Nike log and Swoosh are by far one of the world’s most well-known brands. In a number of sports, it is linked to the best athletes, including the beautiful game, soccer. For many years, Adidas has developed soccer cleats and their construction has been optimized and perfected to give you the edge on the pitch. One of the best soccer shoes in the world is the Hypervenom Phantom III Dynamic cover is one of the best soccer shoes in the world, and although they may cost a pretty penny, they are well worth every cent. The Nike Hypervenom offers a one-piece, tongue-free construction designed to nearly eliminate seams, adding great precision to your ability to control the ball. They are designed with a Flyknit upper to provide superb breathability, support, and stretch. The lockdown of these awesome soccer cleats is designed to secure your foot in the shoe with the upper Flyknit in combination with Flywire cables this shoe is at a price of $230 that’s insane.

2.) Nike Mercurial Superfly CR7 

The NIKE Mercurial Superfly CF7’s fifth edition is sure to pick up the tail on the pitch. This may be the quickest soccer shoe, mixing innovation with elegance to give you a full soccer cleat to which Cristiano Ronaldo is proud to put his name. Speed, dexterity and a real feeling for the ball are in the form of this Mercurial Superfly soccer cleat. The fly knit textured upper of the Mercurial Superfly soccer cleat. 3D Speedrib texture creates surfaces on the upper leather that are raised, resulting in a certain amount of friction between the shoe and the ball enabling much greater control. The Mercurial Superfly soccer cleats have thicker material in the right areas, allowing a smoother feel and a stronger contact. This is at a price of $129- $148 which is a cheaper shoe compared to the Phantom III Dynamic Cover. 

3.)Nike Mercurial Superfly 7 Academy FG Soccer Cleats

Compared to previous versions, the all-new high-tenacity Flyknit yarn in the Superfly 7 and Vapor 13 is softer and more shape-fitting. The new Mercurial upper feel noticeably softer and more flexible when combined with an incredibly thin ACC coating on the individual yarn fibers. The Superfly upper features a slightly lower dynamic collar in contrast to a thinner, smoother bottom. For some of the most aggressive traction in the game, the Mercurial Superfly and Vapor have always been known, and this Mercurial is no exception. This update helps the Mercurial wearer to run and cut at full speed to get more energy return. In order to help achieve this energy return, Adidas took suggestions from Cristiano Ronaldo to raise the width of the individual studs on the soleplate.

The price of this shoe is right around $200 dollars and it’s insane how much they go for, you can get all these shows on amazon ill leave links to them if you want to check them out.

Hello people, hows your day been? doesn’t matter cause I really didn’t care sorry. Today’s blog will be about some things or strategies my team and I do,  there are different things we do as a whole team. Some examples are that corner kicks we can drive it up to the goal box or we can just straight on kick it to someone open who can take the shot. there are other instances where we would do something different when we play our games we play patiently, we take our time to see what they are doing then we see how we can counter the things they do. I play defense and I suck if you want to take my place go for it I’m joking I love the position I play, but hey if you are or want to be a defender and your in-game and have the ball drive up the sideline DONT kick to middle I did that mistake a lot of times and it didn’t end well just wanting to tell you that. If you are not a defender than I can’t really explain much to you about other positions because I never play them but I’m truly sorry either way. Some other things we do in-game or practice is when we do a throw-in and you can’t do anything because there is a lot of people around. You can make your teammate throw the ball at you but instead of grabbing and it and not knowing what to do hit it on like the back of your head so the ball hits the back of your head and goes flying down the field, then your teammate or you can run for the ball. Another thing make sure you have good control of the ball because you don’t want to lose the ball as your running up the sideline, many people like me run with the ball then end up doing something that makes us lose the ball and the other team gets the ball and they may end up scoring which is something you and your team don’t want so make sure you have good control of the ball. The last thing you don’t want to pass the ball back into your side if you have a bunch of people on you then maybe clear it or pass to a teammate that runs up to you making it a perfect pass so he can drive it up. You don’t want to pass the ball back because if you do then the other team can probably steal the ball from your teammate, then they aren’t that far from the goal to pass then score so I don’t recommend passing the ball back.
