Nail on the head with the last line
The comprehensive Ronaldo thread

Siiiiiiiuuuuuuuu!
The end.
I've been watching the game on austrian public TV. Portugal score left and right as the comentator resumes: "They (Portugal) let Ronaldo starve up front. But he won't care today."
Not even our sport commentators are fit for a world cup

His fanbois can't see that. He never had the technique and ball control of someone like Ibra to play as a target man. Again, he relied a lot on his pace.

You can just see him scoring the winning pen in the final and the mental gymnastics as he calculates where he should position himself in the line of takers to achieve that feat! I’d say he’d want to assess and give his answer after each kick!
Would he fuck!
This is beyond sad. @SportingCP96 yeah happiest alright
Tell me something new.
100 biased people will now say he cares only about himself.
how petty
Let’s buy this Ramos guy, he seems to be a good replacement for Ronaldo !
As a slight aside, even my bitterest of blue mates had a begrudging soft spot for Cantona. The man was an icon in every single way.
His fan boys will say he was desperate for a shite
Come on, Rajma. What kind of narrative are you pushing? Clearly, Ronaldo doesn't feel he contributed to today's win and therefore it's only right that he should leave his teammates to celebrate in peace. Or something.
Yeah because that's obviously not true?
Upcoming interview with Piers where he says he doesn't respect Portugal, and his supporters still act like the prick isn't the problem.
He's a fecking embarrassment.
He's an island; bigger than any club and even his country.
There's a great insight into his inner workings that he can't even pretend, at a World Cup.
He's creative, I'm sure he'll come up with something.@SportingCP96 Try and defend this
Probably needed an ice bath after those three runs he made
He obviously went back to dressing room to prepare his motivational speech for team, he is the captain. He has not time to celebrate
He just can't handle not being the man anymore, in a way you have to feel sorry for him while acknowledging he has always been a bit of a cnut.
That's fair and true. 5 Ballon D'or can't be ignored and it'd be ridiculous for me sitting here and pretending otherwise. I stand corrected.
I heard that he was rushing back to light the candles on the cake he had baked them all as a thank you for all their hard work.
It's a double sphered cake. One sphere is a football, the other is his head. They're both clearly making contact.
I’d put Cantonas input when he first joined in 92/93 but especially the 93/94 and95/96 seasons above pretty much any player including Ronaldo
I also see Cantona as the final and most important piece of the jigsaw (not including Ferguson) that sky rocketed Utd to become one of the biggest clubs in the world over the last 30 years.

Exactly. His transfer made United what it is. To claim Ronaldo gave us more memorable moments than Cantona is a blasphemy.
Seek help Sir.
Aside from all the bitterness and the fact that he is a total prat, I wonder if his mental health is going to be ok with this kind of end to his career. He's been the star of every club he's been at since around 2006 and I don't think he's the kind of guy that copes well with being ignored or criticized.
It's really sad how the interviewers are just asking about Ronaldo. Ramos was asked if he talked with Ronaldo after replacing him and he just said: "Of course I talked with the whole team and also with him, he is the captain."
Santos was also asked about Ronaldo beeing dropped and basically left the interview after saying they played great. Both looked clearly annoyed. Give the guys on the pitch and the manager some credit ffs. How often do you score a hattrick at a World Cup, especially at the KO stages.
I don't see how anyone can enjoy playing with Ronaldo and I am fecking happy that he isn't our problem anymore. We could probably win the CL or the PL and people wouldn't shut up about Ronaldo sitting on the bench and making sad faces.

I might be wrong, but I think that's how his name is pronounced in Brazilian Portuguese; doesn't the Portuguese from Portugal use a harder, more traditional 'R' sound? Any insights resident Portuguese posters?
I think that interview with Piers Morgan gives us some insight into his coping skills. I think it will only get worse and more embarrassing for him.
What a complete car crash of a career end.
It's actually embarrassing for him at this point. He Can't handle not been top man anymore.

This whole thing has been/is a complete nuisance to them and both Santos and EtH at United have really tried to not let it get to them but it's impossible.
Keep digging that hole
Ronaldo FC fans will say that he just wanted to celebrate with the kit man.
Great point you made there. Obviously, Ronaldo is only part of problem, the other is idiotic piece of his fanbase that somehow makes it all about him.
Portugal won EURO 2016 and somehow it was more about Ronaldo cheering the team on from bench than about Eder and the rest of the guys on the pitch.
