We are on top of the situation
Investigations are ongoing
Perpetrators shall be brought to book
Citizens should go about their normal activities
Our normal activities is to keep asking why the hell FIFA omitted CR7 from the poster?

You can dislike a person, but never deny them the honour that is due them.

You can't talk about football in this era without mentioning/including Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is an error. A costly one at that.
We're talking of world cup and he's no recognizable input in the tournament after all it's just 6-7 matches competition.

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
You just killed the whole thing. I have never seen a set of hypocritical people like Penaldo and his fans.

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!
The same Ronaldo talked down on FIFA a few weeks ago. Why should they include him when he called the biggest stage of football a 6-7 match tournament. Remember he once asserted that Euro is harder than World cup. I'm angry that FIFA bowed to pressure of including him in the banner.

In as much as I am a die hard messi fan, Ronaldo has made his mark in the game, give honor to whom honor is due.
Someone that talked down on the tournament in several occasions?
~ just 6-7 tournament
~ euro is harder than World cup
Make una rest abeg FIFA na still human beings angry

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.
Penaldogs on rampage again grin

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.
Oga if you talk down about my business, I won't include you in my banner. Because of hate an jealousy of what Messi has achieved, Ronaldo has talked down on FIFA on my occasions when he said that;
Euro is equivalent to world cup
WC is just a 6-7 games tournament
It's not his dream because it doesn't define greatness.
Make una rest.
