Well the evidence from his family is not encouraging.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Countdown to 1k
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Why are you booing him? He's right
I agree with you here - no arguments from me. I just wish posters wouldn't exaggerate so much (eg ' Messi hasn’t acknowledged him once'). It just feeds the 'race to the bottom' level of Ronaldo 'vs' Messi discourse.
Understood
To be fair he was asked a question, specifically Rooney's quote on Messi being better than him. And do you know what Rooney also thinks?
Rooney thinks that he's better than Suarez, Neymar, Lewandowski, Kane, Haaland and Zlatan. Can you elobarate why Ronaldo thinking that he's better than Messi is somehow "worse" or even "bad" than Rooney thinking he was better than someone like Neymar?
After all the trophies, individual honours and broken records its still quite amusing how fragile his ego is.
Just two thoroughly unlikeable wankers.
Does he not have anything else to talk about 3 years later?
People really don't give 2 fecks about Al Nassr I suppose but it's odd how only the United stuff gets highlighted

He dared call Messi the greatest he's seen and not King Ron.
His highness also claims that he's done with being 'humble' as he's so famously always been
Is it really "stronger" mindset though? Depends on your life outlook, seems a tad obsessive and unhealthy to me. Insecurity and fear of retirement and giving the mantle to the next generation. If Ronaldo had retired five years ago then very little would have changed in his legacy.
Bet Piers loved this, taking a dig a us three years later. Ronaldo, we know what needs to be done and progress is been made, thanks for your concern, it’s nothing you haven’t said before
He will not retire until he gets to be on the same pitch as his son.
Who will not pass and put one a mile wide when his old man is on 999.

Of course Messi is better.
And of course C.Ronaldo don't think so. And even if he did, he'd never admit it. Not even at gunpoint.

So, Ronaldo, have ever turned up and performed at a WC ?
Ronaldo likes Trump! MAGA CR7? The CAF won't like this! 
And Messi was the easy answer even before WC win, so it's a moot point.

of course. Two narcissists worshiped by utter morons.
they bonded over the love of the same bronzer.And Messi was the easy answer even before WC win, so it's a moot point.

Ronaldo being a MAGA chud was pretty obvious
cant wait to see him fawning over Trump next summer. Also Trump is probaly the only reason he will be allowed to enter the country

It's true in a way, shame that Cruyff and Eusebio couldn't have played more games to further enhance their legacy. But if Ronaldo plays six or seven at the next one, he'll have played nearly 30 games, close to a full league season worth of World Cup matches. Over a record 6 World Cups too. Nobody would have got more chances to prove himself in it than Ronaldo.
Come on Pickle, the original poster wasn't talking that Messi never mentioned Cristiano on an interview, less if he is asked about him. He is clearly talking about Cris bringing Messi more often to the table, at times even as an elevation shot without not mentioning the little fella directly. That has been a tendency. I don't think that's just being nice from Messi, in his house he might have cursed Cristiano lots of times, yet in Public? Messi's approach it's different, maybe even more clever and at the same time if Cris wants to praise himself time and again? so be it, nothing serious.
And BTW it's more related to how Messi fuels himself and how Cris does it, and how both manage themselves when they are angry too. Messi would be a lot more vindictive, revengfull while in the pitch than in his public declaratiosn, he took the same attitude with Journos that trashed him time and again, at must I've seen him avoiding them, but not directly confront them. In the case of Cris, he chose not to confront him in that "arena" and that it's pretty clear, till now. MIght come the day in the future that he might throw some shyte, more when he is entering his final stages, we dunno.
Not just diplomatic, his focus always had a tendency to be more global, to even be more angry about himself or quite harsh with his mates if some goal it's not achieved.
He didn't make any statement endorsing Trump? He signed the shirt because of the meeting between the Portuguese president and Trump and it was supposed to be a gift for Trump.
All of the GOATs played for either Argentina or Brazil. Portugal was never truly a football powerhouse. That would be like demanding for Lewandowski or Haaland to win the World Cup if they want to be in the GOAT conversation.
Ronaldo likes Trump! MAGA CR7? The CAF won't like this!
Stick your mortgage on Portugal winning the World Cup
well if that new Quote is accurate, he certainly seems to have quite a high opinion of him
Where did he say he was MAGA? I’d say he’s 100% correct that any president of the USA can change the world.
It shouldn't be an issue if has it. He is free to backup or like whomever he wants.
On a personal note? I preffer (even not agreeing many times), fellas like Ali, Maradona, Socrates, Cantona...etc that do not tend to censore themselves (including contradictions). Yet in recent times more than ever, players would hardly expose their social or political ideas. More than anything, even supporting anyone, it's a tad sad that few to none sportman speak about social issues, yet it's understandable that it will a concern on how those would be used.
I have a feeling Portugal will win the World Cup and Ronaldo will be hailed as the GOAT
It's quite literally what he said. Don't blame me, blame the way they phrased it. And for the record, 'Messi hasn’t acknowledged him once' couldn't be clearer in meaning. They even added 'once' for emphasis! You're the one reading meanings that aren't in the text that was actually typed out.
I can't find the proper emoji
They will not. Or at least it is extremely unlikely. No team has ever won with a foreign manager (especially one as terrible as Martinez), and no team in the last 60 years has won with pre tournament odds as long as theirs are now. And I'm only going back 60 years because it's tough to get information on odds before then.I have a feeling Portugal will win the World Cup and Ronaldo will be hailed as the GOAT

It might actually happen, that's why also I find it a tad silly from many Messi fans to constantly talk about the WC and such, or when Messi didn't had a NT title Cris fans with the Euro. I trully don't think with such body of work, neither need such thing for someone preffer them above anyone or consider them the Best ever, as silly as such thing is. Same with Puskas, DI Stfeano, Cryuff...I understand that International titles gives an extra layer, but when it comes to at least having some important body of work (with all that this includes), if someone really likes above anyone a certain player so be it.
Both the fanbases are equally dumb and childish. Messi is more diplomatic in public which is why people think his fanbase is less annoying than Ronaldo which is completely false. They are just as bad as each other and deserve one another.
They will get a lot of pelanties.I have a feeling Portugal will win the World Cup and Ronaldo will be hailed as the GOAT
Stats are there to be broken. Also this a great Portugal side that has sthg very desireable for any NT, little groups of players that play along in their clubs. Few people understand that Brazil and Argentina (specially for isntance the MExican Press and their diea that having all the squad in Europe will mean instant succeess in the NT).
Many having the players in some sort of diaspora all over the world creates quite a lot of issues, worse if some of them are important figures in their clubs with a very clear role there, less of a rpoblem if the felals are younger, or don't have a big name.
This has happened to many NTs in the last years and it does not help with the little time to train.
