Men

There is no doubt that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are still the top two soccer players in the world today. However, after scoring another goal that will pass into legend, Neymar has fans everywhere wondering how much longer until he catches up to those two.

Some radicals, like legendary Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos, already claim that Neymar is the better of the three. 

Notwithstanding certain Barcelona fans, the general soccer public is relieved that they dodged a bullet they didn't even know had been fired at them just more than 30 years ago: Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the bright lights (in both his play and his hair) in soccer almost didn't come into being.

Meet Luka Romero. He's 11 years old and is from Durango, Mexico. Some people think he might be the next Messi.

Given his waning (sorry!) skill-set on the pitch, it's time to think about what's next for Wayne Rooney, and we have the answer.

If there was any speculation about the post-footballing job prospects of Wayne Rooney (there are some who would argue that his post-footballing job is Manchester United center forward), that needs to cease right now, because on Monday we found the perfect career for him: professional wrestler.

Until now, the footballing superstar most associated with oranges (and we are talking about the fruit here, not the Dutch) has been Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who once said of Norwegian former footballer John Carew, "What carew does with a football, I can do with an orange."

Sometimes the world just falls into place, and something happens that makes you say "this feels right, this feels like it belongs." One such event happened recently when noted Cristiano Ronaldo enthusiast Cristiano Ronaldo attempted to break the world selfie record at the premier of his new movie about his life.

There are two certainties right now in the world of football:

#1: Louis Van Gaal and Manchester United could really use some consistent goal-scoring right about now.

#2: Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez is on fire.

If you look closely enough at Hernandez during one of his now frequent goal celebrations, you’ll see there’s a glint in his eye. You know that glint that says: “stuff it, Louis Van Gaal!”

We, the general football-consuming public, have always assumed the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry was like this:

But, in a recent interview, Cristiano Ronaldo has implied the relationship between him and Messi is more like this:

The 15/16 iteration of Barcelona could go down as the best attacking side of all time; the 14/15 version arguably already has. This is because the front three of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar Jr. has been nothing short of unstoppable when they have all shared the pitch. While the three are known to get along quite well, we are going to pit them against one another. Specifically we are going to look at Messi vs. Neymar.
