Cacked the bed a bit tonight but he's still in the tourney and has been excellent and key in Portugal getting out of a tough group. In contention for PotT imho.
Ronaldo is the goat
- Thread starter Billy Blaggs
- Start date
Both Kane and Lukaku will be delighted he couldn't grab a goal against Iran.
Messi vs Ronaldo threads are so tiresome. Why not just be glad we have had 2 such amazing players in the game at the same time?
So if Ronaldo fails to score in two matches in a row and Portugal lose to Uruguay does this thread become moot?
This thread will continue for the next 20 years.
cristiano plays on the wing and he is deadly finisher. He has constantly innovate himself to his strength as per his age and diminishing body strength and pace. He is 33 and still performing at the highest level and we cant say when he will stop. Its like watching a never ending movie. Every year there is a discussion station this is the last year Ronaldo is performing at this level and every year he proves them wrong.
Coaches also played a huge role in his success. When he joined Madrid in 2008 Barcelona was at its peak and Madrid was diminishing powerhouse. After Mourinho departed Real Madrid was on the up, spent wisely in transfer windows and they started winning trophies. 3 Champions league in 4 years is testament to that.

That's his thing, he takes what you say, twist them in a manner that give them a completely different meaning
Messi has already failed 2 matches in a row...
Page 12 of this thread contained 61 instances of the word Messi. Maybe it's time to move this to a certain thread. You know the one..
On the subject. Funny how football works. Missing the penalty could've well meant Portugal flying home today, but the Iran player shat the bed in injury time. You need a little luck and Ronaldo hit the jackpot again last night in that regard.
Still, if he hadn't scored 3 against Spain, they might've gone out as well.
When is the next world class player going to stand up, I'm bored of this cnut and that silly Midget from Argentina.

If he scored that penalty, they would have much easier path to semi.
Now they will have to beat Urguary, Brazil, France to get into final. I’d say it’s mission impossible.

Meanwhile Barcelona won 3 out of 4 and 7 out of 10 La Liga titles and 5 out of 7 Copa titles. The CL comes with slightly more accolades but a La Liga title shows more consistency.
He missed a vital pen, yesterday, so no, he is not.
He doesn't dribble much anymore but what he's doing at 33 is pretty phenomenal. Big players miss pens. Think Baggio in the 94 final, Lineker for his record-beating goal etc.
pity that games last 90 minutes.
Has there ever been a 33 year old player as good as him?
It's only been brought up because it had been for Messi.
He is not even in the top five. One of the best goal scorers ever along with Gerd Müller.
Good question. Closest attacking contenders IMO would be Puskas and Di Stefano at 33. They scored 7 between them in the 1960 European Cup Final and Puskas netted 47 goals in 36 games for Real that season.
Baresi is worth a shout defensively though. At 33/34 he led a defence which conceded just 15 goals in 1993/94 and could afford to net just 36 times to win the title. Produced an immaculate defensive performance coming back from injury in the 1994 World Cup final to shut out Romario. And was rated in the top 3 highest Serie A players for 1993/94 and 1995/96 at the age of 34 and 36 no less.
Another unintelligent, oft-repeated, cliched one liner that you have spewed, over and over again.
No wonder you don't ever get a serious response, like ever.

That's not true though.
That's my humble opinion. I guess you have yours
What an idiotic statement.
It’s because of one specific user.
Good question. Off the top of my head, Di Stefano, Puskas, Pelé. Occasionally Zidane
Stating your opinion as fact then when called out you say it is your humble opinion. Fake humble in my opinion.
I agree, C. Ronaldo is the definition of the word "Overrated".
Can't wait to see Ronaldo back at Utd this summer, Ronaldo, Sanchez,Lukaku is going to do untold damage!!!
The best individual defensive performance I've ever seen. Flawless.
Nothing like having two aging attackers on your team.
If those first three had the knowledge of nutrition and fitness that Ronaldo has today then the argument would be different. PEDs too!
How can factually correct statements be idiotic?
Next time I´ll put your opinion as a fact. In my opinion.
you are so funny lolAnother unintelligent, oft-repeated, cliched one liner that you have spewed, over and over again.

Deluded post. I suppose you started watching Ronaldo in 2015 or 2016
Ronaldo is the GOAT and it baffles me how anybody could argue otherwise.
He was with MUFC and we reached 2 CL finals (won multiple leagues) and since then we haven't done particularly well in the CL.
He then moves to Madrid and during his time there, he gets 3 CLs in a row (before he arrived, they were in the doldrums).
We also know that he can be the best player in 2 different leagues (with different playing styles).
What about his National team, I hear you ask. Well, Portugal are reigning EU champs. I mean, who would've thought that Portugal can be EU champs?
The only other player who can compare to him is Messi...who did not win 3 CLs in a row and has not propelled his National team to a major trophy. And let's not forget, that Messi has never played in a different league, so there is a question mark over whether he could adapt to a physical league, like the EPL.
For me, Ronaldo is the Greatest Of All Time. No ifs. No buts.

This x100
Out of curiosity how do you explain away his early season form (HALF!) and still come out with such hyperbolic garbage?
Goat , absolute farcical opinion. Great goalscorer who was a great player too,a fair while ago.....

La Liga has more quality than the more physical and competitive EPL. I don't get why some people think players should be journeymen to prove their worth. Did players like Maldini, Puyol, Terry, Giggs, Scholes, Totti, Giacinto Fachetti and Baresi have to 'prove' themselves in other leagues?
I can see someone make the case for Pele, Maradona and Messi, but this is just ludicrous.
