What? So you are taking one game, with a specific circunstance (second leg, defending a result) to say that we systematically play in counter attack? We almost never play in counter attack. The last phrase is just your usual recycled bollocks. Your opinion has no credit since Ronaldo is our main driving force in the golden age (one European Championship final, a world cup semi and European Championship semi final) of our national team. Refrain yourself from talking about what you don't know.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Sweden were horrible in that game. I'd probably believe you if you told me Ronaldo paid them to play a horrible high line so he could run in behind and in on the keeper on about 5 or 6 separate occassions
Where's the Ronaldo v Messi thread?
It is just sexual when he breaks on the counter. I've never seen anything better than those long legs just tearing the pitch apart
Sweden wasn't that bad. What tipped the scale was Paulo Bento only decent tactical change in his national team historial when he put William Carvalho to balance the midfield and give tactical freedom to Moutinho. Ronaldo was obviously amazing with the goals but Moutinho was excellent in that game.
So when did this happen?
No, they were bad. They played a system that was equivalent to bending over for Ronaldo and letting him go in dry.
The last thing I'd ever do as a coach against them that night would have been to play a high line.
Anyways i hate getting dragged into this Ronaldo vs Messi bollocks. I actually like both players.
)
In the last 20 minutes they were bad but they had to go for it. No point in being cautious when a World Cup qualification is on the line. Sweden isn't a top national team but they are no mugs. We actually struggle against Scandinavian teams and i was very pessimistic about that game (well i'm always pessimistic in what concerns the teams i support; Sporting and Portugal
)This summer.
It's a rare breed of person that's actually capable of doing this. Kind of funny, since you'd expect more people to be able to enjoy watching the two greatest players of their generation play, although apparently that's not the case.
Well Messi is an amazing player and i like to watch football, what kind of person wouldn't like to watch a player like him? Also i have a soft spot for Argentina and Diego Maradona is my favourite player of all time
I don't think i ever criticized Messi and i don't need to downplay his achievements as some sort of endorsement of Ronaldo. I genuinely like both although i prefer Ronaldo for emotional reasons mostly (being portuguese and coming from my club)
That's pretty much spot on. Any one who finds the need to criticize one of them to promote the other is truly missing the boat of how great both of them are. We will marvel at these years for decades to come.Well Messi is an amazing player and i like to watch football, what kind of person wouldn't like to watch a player like him?

It's not that rare at all, it's just the sane people avoid these threads like the plague.
Yeah, definitely. By the way, that wasn't meant as an insult or anything - I genuinely mean it that it's good to see people who can just enjoy the two players playing.Well Messi is an amazing player and i like to watch football, what kind of person wouldn't like to watch a player like him?

I understood mate. I just complemented my previous post. I think Rado_N is also right with his assessment
It's not just the sane ones who are avoiding them, it's me as well.
I love Ronaldo, always have, ever since he came on as sub against Bolton with spaghetti in his hair. But responding to these threads would just suck all the fun out of watching him. It even sucks the fun out of watching Messi, knowing the hysterical told-you-so posting that will follow in the Ronaldo thread) when Messi plays well.
Everyone who continues to derail this and the messi thread should be threadbanned, it really is ridiculous.It's not just the sane ones who are avoiding them, it's me as well.

ok, lets act as if this not a football forum but an archive where everything must be in order
It is getting a tad tedious though, isn't it?
It gets tedious where player specific threads just constantly involve comparisons though.
Keeping discussions on topic is a pretty fundamental issue.
This thread is for discussing Ronaldo, not for people to constantly bang on about Messi, make comparisons and digs.

Okay lads, have your fun in there! You'll like it there
I particularly like post #6 by @Marcosdeto

what? arguing between both?
it guets tedious arguing about something that happened 100 years ago, but messi vs ronaldo rivalry is going on, so to pretend that Ronaldo exists only on this thread and messi on the other, is rather ridiculous
Yeah, but the result is just the same nonsense over and over again, just worded slightly different.
Arguments over both should be continued in the thread created especially for that purpose.
i see, so saying that messi is better than ronaldo or that ronaldo is better than messi doesnt involve ronaldo?
derailing the thread would be talking about something that has nothing to do with him
ok, lets talk about ronaldo only
nice hair cut
nice hair cut
It's a player specific thread!
Nah, his hairs shite.
i like this better than the one he used first during the world cup
I prefer Messi's hairc...just kidding. Nothing will beat his noodle hair days.
i read somewhere he bought a nice rolls
now the thread is tidy! woooooo!
And he moved the location of his Madeira museum to a bigger place. People really like to see his framed noodles
wonder if his missus has seen these?
yes they do
Best part about that interview was Gary Neville's translator skills: "Are you confident??"
