Football News > Messi vs Ronaldo - Signed Boot Battle

Being the lucky folks that we are here at SoccerBible, we've landed two of the worlds hottest boots signed by the worlds two best football players - Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo! No mean feat if we say so ourselves!

Two icons of a generation who couldn't be more different on and off the pitch. Two superstars who have become the undisputed faces of their respective brands, and two football boots that haven't been short of the spotlight in recent weeks! Take a look and share your thoughts online, on Twitter and on Facebook





Raising the age-old Messi v Ronaldo debate in a way only SoccerBible can, feast your eyes on some serious hot property as these ultimate collector items make a rare public appearance! As Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo prepare to go head-to-head for the 2011 Fifa Ballon d’Or, we've pipped them up against each other in a slightly different way!





Putting the Nike CR7 Mercurial up alongside the adidas f50 adizero miCoach, you can only wonder what life would be like if their brand allegiances were reversed! If Nike had held on to Messi in his early Barcelona days, what would his signature shoe look like? Messi and Ronaldo have helped shape the Mercurial and f50 silo's like no other players, resulting in two boots that are worlds apart!





For as long as the Mercurial and adizero have been competing, the two speed demons have separated boot fans as much as Messi and Ronaldo themselves! The race to become the worlds number one speed boot has never been hotter, with both brands desperate for the crown.





In recent seasons, we have seen Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo front the on-field adidas vs Nike battle, with Messi coming out on top having won back to back Fifa Ballon d’Or titles. With both players in scintillating form once again this season, we're in store for another epic brand battle. Which football boots will finish the race on top?



When is comes to Leo vs Ronaldo and the adizero vs Mercurial, every one has an opinion! Which football boots are you backing to make an impression this season? Share your thoughts online, on Twitter and on Facebook.

Both Boots are not comfortable but between this two i would prefer Superflys. F50 are terrible looking, not confortable, Im pretty sure Messi dont like at all the looks of these. Safari III looks better.

tbf messi  isn't as great as i believe he's cracked up to be...  if he doesn't have a good supporting cast of players that  can get him  passes  in tight spots  his 1v1  skills  arent  as over-all as good as ronaldo's.   Not the biggest fan of either but I think ronaldos the better individual player

CR7 is a way better player. Messi only looks good when flanked by other great players. and the new vapes are sick looking. the f50s just look trashy. and the Mi coach is a waste of time

adizeros are so much better the upper on the mercurials suck, they are way more comfortable, and they make you feel insanely fast. and both are ugly as hell. messi is so much better than that *** it is unbelievable. messi is the leader of the best team on the planet and ronaldo cant even find a damn win for his team

LeoRMSHS12 said:

Haha, its funny. All you guys talking about Adizero vs Vapor have no clue what your talking about. Yes, adizero is lighter, but the synthetics are way less comfortable than vapors. The vapors offer more protection, and if u really think you're faster with adizeros, than you just got trolled by adidas marketing. Ronaldo is a cheater, but messi is nothing without the rest of the barca squad. It's not the player, it's the team.  Thats why you cant compare individual players on different teams. Ronaldo: Better Striker Messi: Better Playmaker

Nice boots, I prefer the adizeros but it is my opinion.

I like to play on leather boots!

Soccer_Maestro said:

im an adidas and messi fan, but i dont wear either of these, but have tried both and i like the fit of vapors better. but neither are that great to me. most pros are switching to adizeros tho so id say adizeros are in the spotlight right now. wouldnt be surprised if ronaldo preferred em, but hes makin bank with nike and probly wouldnt switch regardless

Mulla said:

I do believe the Merc's to be better - having tried out both (weight isn't everything)- although the Adizero's are more likely to leave a greater impression again this season, due to the superior number of top sponsored player wearing them.  I would fully expect the likes of Messi, Suarez and Bale, to dominate opposition this season wearing their f50's :)

ijuwan 17 said:

the superflys r the perfect "tool" for the speed players... they provide stability while u zoomed around the field.

while the adiZeros strip to almost basic r the best to "emulate" playing barefoot.. with the traction on studs of course...

but either way... all those gr8 things u see on the pitch associated with these two big names, no amount of money can buy it! it all really comes down to the player himself...

Mizuno_Arsenal72 said:

It is very difficult to say which player is better as they are two completely different players.

Messi plays in Barcelona, probably the best team in the world with an extreme emphasis on passing.  Messi is graceful yet explosive in his speed, he has the ability to apart the best defence by himself but he can only do this when he has quality around him to back him up hence his failure to replicate his performances for Argentina.

Cristiano Ronaldo plays in a new Real Madrid side capable of playing beautiful attacking football with an emphasis streching defences to create holes and catch the opposition on the counter-attack. Ronaldo is powerful and arguably the fastest player at the moment, he brushes off his opponents with his incredible speed and holds off defenders with his strength.  People criticize him for being a ball-hog and  ego which leads to critiscism about his leadership skills, Ronaldo is a player who has the unique ability to carry a whole team himself, utilizing whatever skill is on offer.  He leads by example for Portugal, becoming a winger or a deep-lying striker, providing assists to his team-mates.  In Real Madrid, the situation is completely different as the whole team is built around Ronaldo.  He cuts in the middle when he has the ball, swapping places with Benzema and stays forward most of the time when defending deep.  

In terms of which team is better, quality wise- Barca but when talkinng about consistency-Real Madrid, so far this season Real is six points ahead of Barca 'nuff said.  Last season, without messi barcelona would have come 2nd on 89 points.

But in terms of the individual, it is almost impossible to say who is better as they both excel in different things.

Ronaldo>speed

Messi> dribbling

Ronaldo> strength

Messi> Passing

Ronaldo> aerial strength

and the list goes on and on

Every person has their own aspect on this particular issue and me personally have absoloutely no idea who is better.    Ronaldo and Messi outscored (goals from all leagues) 11 teams in La liga, all teams from ireland, Australia and and together outscored the leagues of japan, brazil, wales, korea, england, italy, germany and france.  Perosnally, instead of saying who is better and who is , think about what kind of team would result if La Pulga Atomica and CR7 joined forces and played for one team.  I for one cannot decide who si better.  For me, this seasons best player in Robin Van Persie as he has contirbuted to arsenals recent success, 17 goals in 19 games, 8 in the last 4.

As for boots, I think the adizeroes are better than the mercurials but I can't say anything becuase my monstrously wide feet can't fit into those speed shoes.  I wonder what kind of success nike and Adidas would enjoy if this merged companies...

P.S

Don't abuse me if you don't agree, my dad is Chuck Norris

@mizuno_arsenal72 I must say that I have been in many forums at as.com, marca.com, gazzetta.it and other sports pages and I wanna congratulate ya. That's an excellent point of view. Both are fantastic players and it's great to watch em every weekend. I'm a Real fan but sometimes I watch el Barça and Messi does things that are great for todays football because in the future other players are gonna outperform this two great players. Going back to the boots, I've been using mercurials after I used the f50s and I would take the superflys anytime. Great ball feel and traction, not to comfty but WTF It's football not bowling. Love the green ones.
