regardless of what people say winning the World cup is the ultimate challenge.

There is a time when the World Cup had more importance and relevance than club football. Now that is not necessarily the case. I personally find the Champions League more interesting than the World Cup. And I am not alone. So this idea of denying a great player recognition just because he has not won a cup competition is pretty crappy.[/quote]
I agree with you 100% but irrespective of that every great football player wants to lift the world cup for his country. Argentina's current team are under performers just like Spain was for many years - with a squad boasting of Messi,Higuain, Aguerro, Tevez, Di Maria, Cambiasso, Lavezzi,Lamela,Alvarez, Gago etc etc, it is capable of beating any side in the world but they have the crappiest managers ever.
Frankly speaking if Messi never wins the world cup he'll acquire the unenviable tag of being the best player to have never won the world cup, there's still time for Argentina to change that.
I sometimes feel sorry for CR7, he'd be the best player of any footballing generation.....except Messi's of course.
P.S. Things could change in a year but I don't think the current Brazilian squad are good enough to beat Spain
