Criminal misses by him.Very hard to tell about the ageing, at 33 years Ronaldo was banging a hattrick against Spain in the World Cup while dishing out assists for his teammates to miss (much like Messi in this WC), at 34 he was having one of the best games of his career (in my honest opinion) against Switzerland in the Nations League semis and turning a tie around in the CL against Atlético by himself. I think it should be no surprise both of them were/are having world class games at 34/35. If someone had really payed attention to the level both of them were at their peak, at least, it should be no surprise. The ceiling was so high that the fall would always take so long. According to many people, Messi was finished last year, and was finished in 2020 too, and in 2019. Ronaldo was finished by 30, 32, 34, 35 and, yet, while it's easy to look to last season and point out the deficiencies of a 37 year old player, he was still being top 3 PL scorer and included in the PL team of the season, which so many players out there would consider a career defining highlight.
I only met this fella for the first time in the Ronaldo interview, but he really is unbearable.
Nice bit of weird, pointless misogyny in there as well from Morgan…
And yet his lover boy hasn't had good game even against average sides.
I feel like Piers is basically a portal for us to see Ronaldos inner thoughts.
He’s the Ronaldo version of Pocho.
Cristiano forgot to log out of his burner account
still butthurt? Don’t worry eventually it will go away.
Piers is a redcafe poster in the Ronaldo thread confirmed
Funny enough, when Messi laid that glorious chance on a plate for Martinez to blast into orbit, I had flashbacks of Dembele doing something similar in the first leg of that Liverpool tie.Not sure he's stepped up like that when his team was about to hit panic mode after the Aussie goal since Neymar left Barca. But still, it is only Australia , but in the grand scheme of things, in a straight knockout game in a World Cup, it's comparable to crumbling massive advantages to Roma and Liverpool in second legs.
None of this faffing about corner time wasting either, he wasted time the Messi way.... dribbling and creating clear cut chances for Martinez to miss
Princess only has 30 more goals having played two more years of football. So he doesn’t even have that over Messi.
He also doesn't have the responsibility to create and playmake either.
That Dembele chance
It would have been 4-0 and killed Liverpool right offHe is good in the air for his size tbh.
Painful reminder of that header in the 09 final...
Honestly, Barca would’ve lost at anfield 5-0. 2019 was such a missed opportunityThat Dembele chance
Wasn't that in the WC final against Germany? I can't remember who missed the sitter in the final.
Yup. Rio would agree with that.
Kind of agree here. I think the amazement for many is him still being able to dribble like that at 35.
Controversial opinion, Argentina would not have won the 86 WC with VAR.
100%, but again, not one of the best in the world, obviously through no fault of his own as I said. When he gets the chance to score from a header though, he’s still clinical. United fans should know…
Indeed!I feel like Piers is basically a portal for us to see Ronaldos inner thoughts.
The Hand of God goal or based on anything else? We can’t know if that opened the game up allow Maradona’s dribble but given his amazing form in that tournament it’s reasonable to assume he would have still scored the dribble goal, in which it would have been 1-1. And if it went to penalties, would you ever back England on penalties?
Such an odd, bitter little man.
