Gross that they're filming his girlfriend.

"I mean if you basically want to discount winning" Again. People don't and haven't done this. You said they did. You can go ':lol: you can't read!' all you want, what I've just said is what you did. Simply pointing out I'm biased isn't enough, not to mention the hypocrisy. No shit I'm biased...

"I mean if you basically want to discount winning" Nobody discounts winning, you said they did, therefore you're misrepresenting. Just because you do this "and you.." thing, doesn't mean you weren't doing what you were accused of in the first place. Can we get beyond this 'I know you are I said...

It's elitist and stupid now to trust my own eyes? What else you going to trust. I think you have more of an issue with the tone of it tbh. I can't see what the over complication is, watch a match watch the players play, judge who is better. And it's not "just look at it" It's just look at it...

No it isn't. false equivalence

First part is true there's hardly anything Ronaldo can do that doesn't require a decent pass or cross, Messi does create goals out of nothing. All those things that you would call 'excuses' are actually legitimate arguments. The Argentina team is dysfunctional, no player could save them.

Nice dodge. How can talking about what footballing abilities someone has be ignoring football? I mean Ronaldo fans were making these arguments previously e.g. he's better at heading, shooting, goal scoring instinct and replaced all this with fantasy heroic mentality stuff. The eye test is...

You cast Messi and his situation in the worst possible light. Do this if you want. He's still better in spite of your narrative. In the end.. I know Ronaldo fans hate this, but I'm going to say it anyway, look at Ronaldo playing football then look at Messi who is better at football? If it's...

You don't enjoy watching the best footballer play football. I can understand that.

I don't have the need for role models personally I'm too individualist but I can empathize with the need. Problem is you get the good and the bad and people imitate both. Pro footballers tend to be driven and focused mostly (you have to be) So I think on the whole they're good to look up to...

These threads are so predictable, full of people suggesting your opinion is flawed because of nostalgia and romanticism, it's trite. You can be just as biased analyzing players because they're recent, just go and read. Anyone can see people have a bias for newer stuff. Anyway it's Cristiano...

Wrong. Google "most goals from outside the box in europe"

What! the Guardian is clearly a Neo-liberal band of Gammon men. :rolleyes: But seriously people don't half lie about him and I say this as someone who doesn't like him too much. This thread will be shut down soon no doubt.

Lots of outrage indeed. Anyhow grief mongers and race-baiters wherever they may be need to be called out. Peace.

Wow. This is telling and absolutely the worst thing ever. Personally I think he should be sent to a re-education camp. Why is it every time I look on this forum the threads about so-and-so person related or tangentially related to football being a racist are the quickest to grow and near the...
