Morocco and Iran to come? Hello Golden Boot, who cares if Portugal can't win.

A dive and a terrible shot with DDG having a clanger is not a great performance.

He’s plaued better
You are correct.
Ronaldo is so poor, playing with him in your team is like playing with 10 men. No team with Ronaldo in it, will win anything.
And based on the above, I do not want this guy to play for MUFC. He simply isn't good enough.

Wait is that right? He’s just equlednhos entire WC tally in one game???
Yep. Had just one goal in each of the previous tournaments.

Wasn't the goalscoring freak he's since become in 2006, and I suspect he played injured in 2010 and 2014. Still very poor considering his ridiculously high standard.

He's going to go super saiyan in his last run at this cup. It's going to be absolutely ridiculous.

he's the LeBron of football because he has a horrible supporting cast.
A supporting cast that went on to win the Euros without him......shocking comparison, Cavs can do nothing without LeBron.

That was a genuinely great big game performance- better than anything he's served up in the CL.

Why doesn't he always side foot free kicks like that?

Two good defences and both teams will sit back. Would not be surprised to see Portugal blank in one or both.

Great game from him. Wish he was still our player..

Along with the talent and work ethic, the lad also has this incredible mentality. Great stuff tonight.

53 free kick goals from Ronaldo. Can he surpass Juninho who leads at 76 goals?

Logic says no, but Ronaldo defies logic.

Gets MOTM in the first game with a MOTM performance and a hattrick. What a way to start this WC for him and for Portugal!

Definitely not. Too many FKs to make up this late in his career.
He needs 5 free kicks on each of the following season. Very difficult, but hardly impossible. He will continue being fantastic for another few years IMO.

Ronaldo caught to Puskas and is now second best NT goalscorer with 84 goals. Leader is Ali Daei with 109. I don't see Ronaldo retiring from the NT any time soon. He's going for it.

What’s his free kick to goal ratio now? Someone said he was well in the hundreds for wasted free kicks but that is hard to believe

Better than Messi.

Quote me on that you twats
Doesn't need to be a Messi / Ron debate. He was immense tonight. One man show today.

And the penalty wasn't a dive. The VAR checked it also. I guess the rules of the game are better known to actual referees!

This game sums up the difference between him and messi. Greatest of all time.
