This is between these two players. Leave the others out.

I'm not talking about who can do more tricks, I'm talking about consistency.

1) Who is more consistent?

2) Who's your favorite?

3) Who would you rather have in your team?

4) Fictional Situation: Your a top football manager. Your team's down by 1 goal, and you have only one substitute left. It's the 80th minute of the game. You have Lionel Andres Messi and Robinho de Souza on the bench. Who do you bring in to open up the defense with their footwork and create a goal scoring opportunity and why?

For me it's:

1) Robinho is more consistent, with Brasil he has yet to have a terrible game. Messi under performed with Argentina in Copa America final 2007 against Brasil, and badly in a qualifying game against Bolivia a few months ago.

2) But Messi is my favorite. His small frame, quick bursts of speed, and phenomenal dribbling touches, remind me of the throw back days of Ariel Ortega and Diego Maradona, Argentina's other two great dribblers.

3) I'd rather have Messi in my team.

4) I'd bring Robinho on off the bench, because his fancy futsal tricks, pedeladas, nut megs, elasticos, roleta's(360 spins), and juggling abilites can throw off and frustrate defenders, drawing multiple defenders to him, allowing other players on his team openings for Robinho to pass to. He does this great. Look at his 2006 world cup apperances, as well as Copa America 2007, and Confederations Cup 2009.

Messi , he can use a stronger body to go trough the defenders Robinho may be stopped if you put someone strong & big on him like Mertesacker On your question in who is a better dribbler - It may be a tie overall- Messi

2. Robinho

3. Robinho

4. i will say robinho cuz he cant do nice tricks and he has a good pass and good controlling besides messi can only takes people when he gets the ball but once he loses it he gives up.

wow this is the best football question lol i love it. Ok well If you I possibly had Ronaldo back in his prime id pick him lol. Hmm this really depends on who else is on the team. I would have to go with Messi though. Messi always gets something done no matter what position hes in.
