Not that he'd ever be convicted but I doubt it would go away either if he moved there. He owns a lot of properties in NY so MLS may very well happen.

She’s up to 186 now and has 296 international caps. As far as I can tell she’s played more games for Canada than she has for all her clubs combined. But to the point, no. He’ll probably look at retiring after Qatar 2022 which gives him plenty of time to break the men’s record. If somehow he’s still not made it by that point then don’t be surprised if Portugal arrange a couple of friendlies against San Marino and Andorra.

Genie Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I just saw a good stat, Ronaldo has played 300 games for club and country since turning 30. He scored 279 goals in those games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I was looking forward to Messi versus Ronaldo tonight but Ronnie won’t feature. He has done another test and has been ruled out. It hasn’t been confirmed but suggestion is he’s tested positive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I bet Ronaldo is delighted to be starting on the bench tonight against Andorra... it’s a bit random as I’d assume the game was setup for him to break the scoring record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comes off the bench at half time to score only 1 in a 7-0 rout. 102 international goals now I believe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 8 league goals in 5 games for Ronaldo this season but watching Juventus highlights the scary part is he is now assisting others from goalscoring positions. Kulusevski and Dybala wasted great chances he created Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majority of the teams play attacking open football and teams like Atalanta, Sassuolo and Lazio play some of the best stuff in Europe. Probably the ost entertaining league at the moment Also in Italy they do give a lot of penalties through Var 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) 33 y.o Jamie Vardy has 8 in 7 for Leicester and had 23 last season. Is it because he's a good finisher or because the defending in the PL is poor? One of the things that grinds my gears (as Peter Griffin would say) is that whenever a player does something outside the PL it's always because that league is crap, or they can't defend, or the forwards are poor, or the league is uneven, or the players are soft, or they would no be able to do that a cold night in Stoke or whatever. How about some credit where credit is due. Not aimed at any specific poster, just a general observation.
