Cristiano Ronaldo - 973/1000

Oh, but they do! That plus all the difficult qualifiers against the European minions are the reason a lot of the current players have so many national team goals. Isn’t Depay the Netherlands‘ top scorer? :lol:

As the polar opposite: Gerd Müller has only 62 caps for Germany
Yes, in international football they count as official goals.
Thanks, did not know that. Ronaldo will reach 1000 goals at some point next spring probably (or late winter), no doubt about that. Then finally retire at 42.
 
Is there any league where he could conceivably score the 25 goals in a season? Let's be honest, in any non-shite league he'll need good fortune and two years.



JDT in the Malaysian league. Bank rolled by the royalty in Johor, way OP for the rest of the league.

Ha. He could go on loan there for 3 months and it's sorted (unless Messi goes on loan there for 6 months..)
 
I confess I've not kept abreast of the Al Nassr matches, but last time I saw him I was a bit shocked by his level, so I only assumed it had been a rapid decline. Which obviously happens to everyone around that age. It's frankly absurd he's lasted this long. I do not know how many league matches remain in the Saudi season, I don't imagine he will score goals in the World Cup unless they are penalties, so I suspect he'll have 20+ goals to go next season to reach the milestone, and I can't imagine he will do it.

For some reason I didn't see this post until now. I'll be shocked if he doesn't hit 20+ goals in all comps next season.

Also, the thread title is wrong. It's 971 atm.

The Caf admins just really want him to hit that 1000 mark.
 
From what I’ve read CR7 just fecked off and didn’t receive the silver medal with the rest of the players :lol:
 
Legs completely gone at this point, surely he doesn't start for Portugal at the WC? (we all know he will by virtue) He is the weak link in their front line though.

He's 100% going to start and it's incredibly annoying because Portugal have such a good squad otherwise who should be winning things but he's going to be there to ruin it all yet again.

I think they have potentially the best starting xi on paper in the world cup without him

Exactly and they’re gonna have to piss away a golden gen team for a dilapidated aging striker who doesn’t know when enough is enough. Also, they have a spineless coach who makes nothing but excuses on why said dumbass should be playing.

My bad.
 
Hopefully he gets injured before the world cup so that Portugal have a realistic chance at winning the world cup.

Even if he was injured the entire tournament and didn't play in a single match, he'd be out in full kit parading around with the trophy making it all about him if they did win it.

Yeah, he basically won them the euros from the bench leading Eder telling him how to score a goal. They would probably crown him the best leader since Alexander the Great of they won something this year with him on the bench captaining the side.
 
And some of his fans wonder why there’s so much dislike for him.

They will call it being ultra competitive, but a sportsman his age should know better about being gracious in defeat.
 
This sounds like it's setup for an extremely grim crawl to 1000 goals that everyone watches through gritted teeth and a weird sense of pity for a guy who is completely imprisoned by his own ego.

I guess that's already what it is. I don't know what the Saudi season schedule is or how many goals he got this season, but if this goes beyond next season then that is going to be fecking bleak.

It’s not really Ronaldo’s fault though is it ? Martinez doesn’t have the balls to not start him.

26 goals in 29 league matches, with one last match to go. The season follows the European calendar. 33 goals in 41 matches including Portugal this season.

Martinez will get fired if he does and replaced with someone who will start him.
 
Assuming England have their usual glorious failure would love to see Portugal winning it with Bruno.
Ideally with Ronaldo scoring the winner in the final to enjoy the tears on here.

Will never happen because he's naff but at the same time yes that would be great drama
