He was always a bit of a knob but now he’s just so engrossed in his own hype that all sense seems to have left him. He was always like that but he got away with it by being the best player in the world ever (except for Messi) Now it's basically like Chris Wood acting like that 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 3 hours ago, Pinebro said: Ronaldo had to turn himself into a box striker just in order to keep up with Messis numbers. There is no competition and never has been. Messi is the greatest footballer the world has ever seen. Pele and Maradona are both better players than Messi. I’d argue Garrincha is too. Although his drinking problem meant he was pretty much done after 1963. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duke313 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 A disgusting amount of money. Cristiano Ronaldo 'agrees £172.9m-a-year contract at Saudi Arabia giants Al Nassr' | Daily Mail Online 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Talking about Messi and Ronaldo now is like saying who was the biggest band in the world in the 2010's the Stones or U2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Media eyes will move elsewhere and think his ego wouldnt allow that, did anybody tune in specifically to MLS to watch Beckham or Zlatan play when they went there and that's probably a better standard Edited November 30, 2022 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Name Is Death Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 All adds to his goal total, which is what really matters. And money, obviously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a 25k seater stadium in a league nobody watches, and have a squad full of players nobody has ever heard of, but they can throw hundreds of millions at a player? It's a **** disgrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) It always surprises me how people with 1000x more money than they could ever need still chase more money. Why doesn’t Ronaldo go back to Sporting for a nominal salary and give the club where he started a huge boost? Instead he’ll go to a shithole of a country just to put money in the bank which he’ll never need to spend.

messi11 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Why is this even a discussion? Messi vs Maradona vs Pele is fairer. Ronaldo is basically the level of Gerd Muller but with amazing PR.

Pinebro Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Even at 35 Messi still runs games. Ronaldo has reverted to standing in the box expecting and waiting for the perfect ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaParkAvenue Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Recency bias as always. In five years people will be arguing if Mbappe or Haaland is the best ever and in 10-15 years some others will be the best ever. The current top player is always the best ever, since no-one really cares about grainy old footage anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
