His name is on the UEFA team of the group stage who cares what the Brit thinks and what special Immobile and Lukaku did let be very frank with ourselves a player like Kjaer should not even be in the substitute list, I know Ronaldo keeps scoring and its painful to some people

Rankings do not necessarily mean anything,the Belgian squad is ranked the best in the world but that doesn't mean the likes of Portugal, France and Italy can't beat them,also form plays a very important role in the rankings,a team can be the best in the world in 2021 and in 2022 struggling to maintain top 10
Like I said, at least three teams (could easily be more) are ranked favourites in Euros ahead of Portugal. This is what you should be disproving. That a team have a chance beat another doesn't automatically make them favourites. Chelsea beat Man City in the past UCL finals but Man City were favourites for obvious reasons.

Also,Mexico and Denmark are ranked above Germany so what exactly is your point huh
That none of Denmark, Germany and Mexico play in the Copa America. Brazil remains Argentina's only real competition there down the years.

You clearly know nothing about Copa America, asides the Brazil team that is better than the rest by a mile,it is very hard to score against south American teams,their games are extremely tough and intensive
Sorry to spoil your party but the Top 12 goals scorers in Cops America have a combined 170 goals while the goals of the Top 12 goalscorers in Euros isn't up to 80.
Portugal plays against tennis players like Lithuania,Andorra, Azerbaijan and co. which allows for a lot of statpadding yet you are here saying it is easier for Argentina to run loose
Lithuania, Andorra and Azerbaijan have never qualified for Euros before but go on.

Stop talking without Facts...Copa America started far before Euros,try to research before saying rubbish

Nobody said they qualified,doesn't Portugal play against them in the qualifiers or qualifiers doesn't count as statpadding huh

And so?what exactly is your point?I said from the beginning that Portugal has one of the best squads in the world,are u arguing against that or what?

Lol,Uruguay has won the Copa America once in the last decade and remains the most successful country in Copa America history,they are also ranked among top 10 international football squad in the world, even removing Portugal in the most recent world cup,Argentina sees Uruguay as competition

Uruguay Star Names of the past 2 decades: Godin, Pereira, Suarez, Cavani, Muslera, Forlan, Rodriguez, Caceres, Lugano, Gimenez, Bentacur, Torreira, Valverde.

Argentina Star Names of the past two decades: Aguero, Aimar, Ayala, Banega, Biglia, Burdisso, Caballero, Cambiasso, Coloccini, Crespo, Cruz, D'Alessandro, De Michaelis, Di Maria, Gago, Garay, Heinze, Higuain, Icardi, Lamela, Lavezzi, Mascherano, Martinez, Messi, the Milito brothers, Otamendi, Palermo, Pastore, Pavon, Riquelme, Rodriguez, Rojo, Romero, Samuel, Saviola, Tagliafico, Tevez, Veron and Zanetti.

Who's the joker here?? grin
Lol,after going to research the stars,who cares about the stars as long as they have many good players who play good football as a team huhUruguay is ranked almost at the same spot as Argentina on the FIFA international football men's team rankings but we are supposed to believe you?even Lionel Messi himself has said that the Uruguay squad is very good and they have to be careful playing with them
U clearly did not watch the recent match between the two teams, even though Argentina won,they played almost equally as good

Perhaps I should remind you that the basis for comparison here is since the international career of both players. You keep using the word recent as though you didn't understand my very first post or the post I quoted.

The world has about 200 football teams so saying they are one of the best squads is anyone's guess. I am telling you that since Ronaldo's debut, Portugal have had at least 3 European national teams with better squads ahead of them in the Euros. You can check my very first post.

Lol,Uruguay has won the Copa America once in the last decade and remains the most successful country in Copa America history,they are also ranked among top 10 international football squad in the world, even removing Portugal in the most recent world cup,Argentina sees Uruguay as competition
Still doesn't mean they have a squad near as strong as the Argentine team at any point in all editions of Copa America in Messi's career.

I don't know the point you are trying to make here. Ronaldo broke Michel Platini's (former UEFA president) record to be top scorer. Was Platini's born yesterday? The advantage here is that Copa holds more frequently than Euros. Shikena. That still don't justify the fact that the Copa goal ratio is twice that of Euros.

Nobody said they qualified,doesn't Portugal play against them in the qualifiers or qualifiers doesn't count as statpadding huh
We're talking of Portugal in Euros and Argentina in Copa.

Out of those 109 goals, he's scored lesser penalties than Messi's 70+ goals. Educate urself

I like the fact that wen it comes to Ronaldo everybody starts dissecting the method of goal...poor ignorant football stairers...The guy is a living collosus ...the greatest to ever touch the round object..... meanwhile for the aturu that said 100 out of the 109 goals are penalties (ur village people are innocent) ....u r ignorant by choice..... penalties is a part of the game ....and every team has its standard penalty taker to avoid confusion and promote the steady understanding of a situation....they are mostly the mentally trusted and balanced to take it ...that's y whenever you have a penalty the team calls upon them......CR7 THE GOAT..

Wasn't it Uruaguay that eliminated Portugal last world cup?
Portugal has one of the best squads in the world,stop saying trash..when Messi scores against small teams,he is insulted greatly but now that Ronaldo statpads against Lithuania and other tennis player,he is the GOAT abi

Any list without Ronaldo is trash. A guy who is level on 109 goals the highest ever in international football.
A guy who made Coca-Cola lose $4 billion in a second.
The current highest goal scorer in the tournament.
The list is trash abeg.
With penalties??
Re: BBC Readers Pick Their Euros 2020 Team Of The Group Stage, No Ronaldo by doneback04: 12:12am On Jun 26, 2021
Ronaldo is not playing anything in this Europ only to score penalty that we see him do, But to bad for him because next round he is going home Belgium all the way

So when you know he was paid to score goals, why criticise him of scoring only penalty?

Do you know what penalty goals has done to some teams?

Lol, you dey score for your local pitch, howmany career goal you don get? cheesy
Read the title of the post again

is the discussion not of team of the tournament thus far.

Ronaldo has not been the top striker even though he has 3 penalties

Goal keeper sef dey score penalty.

They could have given all 3 penalties to his team mate Bruno Fernades and im sure he will score.

Stop saying rubbish
Copa was formed in the 1910s while Euro was formed in the 1960s so which kind of agenda are u trying to push huhor is 50 years not enough to score many goals


We're talking of Portugal in Euros and Argentina in Copa.
I said that Ronaldo statpads against them,is it not common sense to know that since they don't play in the Euros,it must be in the qualifiers huh
