I am a Messi fan but this is total condemnable and condescending of a profilic and symbolic player like Ronaldo. The likes of the poster page players can the match one footprint of Ronaldo legacy? The mural should take the center page of Messi and Ronaldo and anything short of that is politically motivated actions in the game of football.
Why should a World a Cup mural has a center page of Messi and Ronaldo?

What exactly have Ronaldo done in his World Cup career to merit that honour?

Modric and Mbappe have done more to merit such and not Ronaldo.

Why is Ronaldo omitted in the first place? Don't tell me it was a mistake. I believe it was intentional. This is nothing but an insult on football. Let's forget about Ronaldo/Messi rivalry for now and call a spade what it is. FIFA is always biased against CR7; since the days of Blatter till today. Haba!
Do not forget the 2013 FIFA ballon dor awards.

They extended the awards after Ronaldo scored a hatrick against Sweden and allowed voters to change the votes they had already cast

That was how Ronaldo won that award.

That is not the way you hate someone.

Why should they add a picture of a player who doesn't dream of winning it?
The caption of the 1st post was "48 Nations, one dream" and obviously, Ronaldo doesn't dream of winning it. Why the fuss?

Some of y'all talking about respect as if Ronaldo has respect for anybody...
In the past, he has disrespected:
1. FIFA World Cup (Calling it a mere 7 games tournament) forgetting that there are big organizations who pay FIFA for promotion and partnership during these 7 games.
He also didn't consider the amount of respect that's been accorded to this same competition all over the world
2. Ligue 1 (Talking down on the league because Messi played there)
3. MLS
4. Portuguese league
5. Balon dor (Said it has lost credibility)
6. Erik Ten Haag (Openly said he doesn't have respect for his coach)
7. Messi's achievements with Argentina (saying it's not a big deal simply because it has happened before)
He always find a way to belittle Messi's achievements in public even when Messi doesn't care about him

His fanboys will support him when he talk trash, they even find dumb ways to justify it..
But when things go against him, they are the first to shout corruption.

Besides, What has Ronaldo done in the World Cup that makes it mandatory to include his picture there?

The funny thing is that, his fans are not complaining only because Ronaldo was not there, obviously there are many players whom their pictures aren't there too.
They are complaining simply because Messi's picture is there but Ronaldo isn't, they always want Ronaldo to be included wherever Messi is grin grin grin
Same way y'all defend rubbish in Nigeria with unnecessary super stories. You talk to much without any substance.

Sentiment apart, C. Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time!

I’m a Messi fan, and I will tell you all the point you listed here are just normal football lovers banters..I also use your point to banter Ronaldo fans BUT let us put banters aside and let’s talk about reality.

Ronaldo is a great player, he haven’t hang his boot yet so he deserves to be the face of Portugal 🇵🇹 football.

senseless analysis, come what may,CR7 still remains one of the best footballers in the world,as such He remains relevant to football business.

The designer must be a Messi fan, must he use the picture of Messi holding the world cup?

Is he the only one in the picture that had won the world cup.

Ronaldo fans are just being crybabies. FIFA actually posted a picture on November 12th without Messi’s face on it and nothing happened. But when they posted another one without Ronaldo’s face, all hell broke loose.

The designer of the poster must be sacked and jailed.
Not the fault of the designers, they designed what FIFA gave them. I believed FIFA didn't include Ronaldo because they considered the country where he's currently playing as below the standard. This means that FIFA doesn't rate Saudi league at all

A proof that most of the officials at Fifa are installed in their various positions by Israel! If you support other than Israel in its act of genocide then you will be cancelled! Only problem for them is that some critics are too big to be cancelled!
