was Messi's goal better?

He dribbled without looking at the goal, prepared the shot whilst not looking and still moving, and then shot inside post without having looked at the goal before the shot was underway. That is very technical (and maybe a bit lucky, but it was great goal imo.)
ps; I think he used the half moon to position himself for the shot.

Messi's goals will surely be in the top five if not the No1. But there will be many other great goals coming :)

Can be a Rooney's screamer to send England to the next round or a Ronaldo's styled free kick :) ]

Who knws. . .

Or Torres scoring hattricks 5 games in a row :)

Lol, shud Torres score five hattricks, then he will equal Ronaldo's 15 goals at the top of World Cup's best scorer :)

In reality i doubt if he will even score once :(
