Let's stick with lingardinho lukaku and the rest

Because he takes so many. Apprently that was his 45th free kick in international tournaments and his first goal from one.
No chance of him coming home now, is there.
Check the guy i just responded too..he's actually arguing just that.
Unbelievable performance. His link up play was superb and he was badly let down by his teammates multiple times. Guedes in particular.
Some genuinely embarrassing comments in this thread. The blind hatred some have for him is incredible. In the GOAT discussion - Impossible player.

The best goalscorers take the most shots, so I can forgive that. The reason why Ronaldo, Messi, Kane etc. score so many goals is because they take the most shots. The biggest knack to goalscoring is working hard and sniffing out chances, not being clinical
He takes too many stupid free kicks from impossible positions, but he is also the active player with most goals free kicks and the only one who has scored more than 50.
Right. Because that’s exactly what I said.
No arguing his goal scoring record but there are quite a few players who are better at free kicks than him.
Ronaldo will still be scoring 30 goals a season 5 years from now.
Well he’s taken a shit ton of attempts.
People splurge over pointless luxary buys like Sanchez, but turn their nose up at signing Ronaldo.
As much as I’d love it, no way will madrid want him to leave now
Unless woody offers to pay his tax bill and he forces a move

I will plan a brilliant marketing strategy in preparation, pay whatever it takes to buy Ronaldo, and watch him take United back to the top in two seasons. Forget his age, he is like a 27 year old pro player. Forget the cost of getting him. Ed is too brilliant not to turn brand Ronaldo into some serious money. Anyone still doubting this guy must be sipping something interesting.

Just ludicrous. For me this is Ronaldo's greatest period. To bounce back from Messi's period of dominance with 4 Ballon d'Ors in 5 years is outrageous given the level of competition. Conversations involving Messi and Ronaldo are so dull I almost never pay attention to them but from what I do come across, I don't think people appreciate the kind of history he's creating. It wasn't that long ago when there was a legitimate discussion about which Ronaldo was better. He's totally blown that out of the water with his performances in his 30s alone. The sheer determination he's shown is really incredible.
Just a shame he played so few games alongside Rui Costa and Figo. Would've been a beautiful sight to see them alongside him now. They pulled off a miracle in 2016 but I don't think they have even the slightest chance of success here.
In this shape there’s no reason to think he won’t play at the next World Cup aged 37
Different gravy. Love that man
Buy him.
Then Real buy Hazard or Salah.

That is a staggering stat! He is just simply the best!
I really wouldn't be surprised to see him pushing 40. Over the last few years he's had a few chronic injuries to battle with though - there's always the risk at that age, a Zlatan-like injury will take him out entirely. Can't see anything else stopping him. I was gutted with his absurd individual success for a few years after he left us but I can't help being delighted for him these days. He's just put so much into it.
Martial plus cash for Ronnie
Machine.
Utter utter dedication- great role model for kids coming through
Are referring to posts such as the following?
I quoted these posts purely for clarification. There is no hidden agenda here.
Or at 41. Unlikely, but doable. Giggs and Totti managed to play until they were 40, Ronaldo is more fit than they ever were.
I see him not playing in the next world cup only if Portugal wins this and he retires.
He could score 30 goals in the World Cup that I would still not want him at United.
Why?
I just don't like him. Great player and all but meh
Get him over that Welsh nonce.
Choose your words carefully my friend. If you though Martial FC were bad then you have no idea about the Ronaldo storm troopers
What an athlete.
If you think my post was a criticism of Ronaldo you have it completely wrong. Was highlighting the knee jerk opinions of him on here despite him constantly proving his doubters wrong.
What he did for his NT in general is as great as what he did for his clubs. Yeah he's the GOAT.
I get tbe feeling it won’t be a gradual decline but s suffen onset due to his game style and high pace /explosive athleticism. Think same will happen to Bale
To put it in another way; would you let anyone else take that free-kick in that moment if your life depended on it? One thing is curling in one against Levante in the league, this is Spain at 2-3 in the World Cup in the 89th minute.
Pointless comparison. Bale has suffered many injuries...
I don't know too much about the other fee kick takers in the Portugal team, but he's the best option for them. Yes he can hit a good free kick but not consistent enough to be considered one of the best at them .
If they win the World Cup, and they won’t, he should just retire with pride. There simply wouldn’t be any lame excuses anymore from hipster Maradona/Pele-fans. He would take the World Cup with a much weaker team, in the most competitive era... at 33. Hat-trick against Spain, wow.
Pointless post,point is what Insaid that Bale would suffer the same fait. regardless of his injuries because Of the reliance of explosive force. That was the pint of the comparison.
That’s the end of the matter.
I can't believe that game, fantastic. It still hasn't even sunk in with me tbh just how much of an honour it is to be around while this guy is playing the game, what an absolute privilege.
