In those two World Cups, Argentina has been unable to get pass the quarterfinals and has under performed miserably. Even though Leo has done quite well as a playmaker in these games, it is hard to see if he has the intangibles to lead Argentina to a World Cup championship. If Messi was the greatest player in the world, then he should be able to lead his team to World Cup prominence.
Maradona won a World Cup for Argentina, Messi needs to do the same to be the world's greatest. Ronaldo scored 40 goals last year in La Liga and Messi scored Yes, I know that is not much of a discrepancy, but Ronaldo's goals overmatched Messi's. Ronaldo is able to score with his head, left or right footed, and is also a magician on the ball. Messi is simply poor in the air and can not head the ball.
Not only that, but Messi does not have play with the aggressive pace that Ronaldo does. Ronaldo is much more of a physical force on the field and his eight extra inches on Messi, height wise, doesn't hurt. Messi can take free kicks, but he is simply not as good as Ronaldo. Even though Ronaldo had a poor job converting free kicks this year, he has a long history of being one of the best at them and Messi is just not there yet.

Better at dribbling, better at passing. He is a virtuoso, a magician. His dribbling is considered to be the best the game has ever seen, and he passes and shoots the ball with the precision of a brain surgeon. He makes eye-popping moves that leave people speechless and overwhelmed. Nowadays, soccer is more dynamic and athletic than ever. The game has become faster, stronger and more demanding in most aspects of physicality. His athleticism is second to none; he combines dizzying pace with powerful shooting and a jumping ability of an NBA star, which makes his headers a serious threat to the opposition.
Ronaldo, more than Messi, is the ideal model of the next generation of players. Messi has an advantage over Ronaldo: Messi has won more titles mostly because he plays for a better team, not because he is a better player than Ronaldo. Throughout his entire career, Messi played for arguably the best side to ever play the game.
While Messi has the added value of an unforgettable team, Ronaldo is the driving factor of his. In fact, Messi has never won an international trophy. Meanwhile, Ronaldo led his Portugal side to win the European Championship.
