At least he's gone now. Bruno Fernandez can now be the star and bring home their world cup in 2030. Imagine a midfield not creating a single chance for one of the most lethal strikers in the history of the game. But it's convenient to blame him.. he's old, disrupting the team bla bla. Enjoy your retirement. You gave everything for/to football. Viva CR7❤️

The discourse around Ronaldo and why so many people hate him and make fun of him is due to Ronaldo himself.

When messi won more ballon'Dors
Ronaldo said: "golden shoe is better".

When messi won more golden shoes.
Ronaldo said :"winning trophies with national team is better"

When messi won copa america:
Ronaldo said: "European teams are alot better and harder".

When messi won the world cup
Ronaldo said: "its only a 7 game tournament and started liking posts claiming fifa rigged it".

When messi went to ligue 1
Ronaldo unprovoked said: "Saudi league is more competitive than ligue 1".

The sad truth is, Ronaldo is a loser and fell victim to his OWN narrative he spent years painting. He knew he could never match up to messi and instead of pushing himself, he decided to being down messi's achievements. This isn't someone who is a mentality monster. This person should not be anyone's idol. This is a loser who thought he is greater than he actually was.

All the hate he is receiving is karma. Thats it
.

Honestly, I can never imbibe his characters at all. He is filled with hate and ego. He singlehandedly started and engineered this comparison about him and Messi, which shouldn't have arisen at all. He made Messi his idol and tried everything possible to be like him. He changed to a goal poacher immediately he saw what Messi was doing in La Liga, not knowing that Messi doesn't even care; he plays for the gun of it and plays as a team. It was this same idol that will always make him bring up discussions that point to insecurity. The same idol drove him to 2022 WC and surprisingly, 2026 WC. He's just giving himself sleepless nights over inconsequential rivalry he created with his own hands out of ego. Who is he beside Messi. Baba, go and rest, pls.

You have nothing to prove again as far as the game of football is concern. You came, you saw and you conquered.

In hundreds of years to come "if Christ tarries", your name will keep ringing bell in the history of football.
Yes, the name will ring as one of best that ever played football and not Greatest of all time, because that title belongs to someone else.
Re: Euro 2016 Equals World Cup For Me, Says Ronaldo After Spain Exit by edogu(m):
Despite his wealth, he still has a poverty mindset. It's always about him. If the world cup wasn't important, he shouldn't have participated. The funny thing is he may still play another world cup in 2030. grin

CR7 is one of the Greatest Football Player I have ever watched play the beautiful game of Football, mind you I have been watching the World Cup since 1978 and have followed Country and Club Football religiously since the early 80s.

Amongst equals, there will be that one Footballer that we personally would think is better.

I never watched Pele played aside the video clips we all watch now and then, for me the "The Greatest of them" would be Maradona until Messi came.

And during this era, you simply can't ignore CR7. He has been awesome and I think the Competition in him actually takes off marks from his claim to being The GOAT as they say nowadays.

He took it to another level with his utterances, body languages, innuendos and funny enough his fans didn't help him in this matter at all.

When you let them see reasons why another player has more claim ro the GOAT status, they will abuse you just like CR7 himself will do by saying people lack CREDIBILITY for airing their opinions.

He said, Zidane lacked CREDIBILITY, Henry was Jealous, Zlatan was Jealous. Even his Teammates at United were not left out.

Same in Madrid.

By and large, CR7 is an ICON, a Role Model for anyone who believed in hardwork.

GOAT?

He is NOT.
Re: Euro 2016 Equals World Cup For Me, Says Ronaldo After Spain Exit by hoseao(m): 12:05pm On Jul 07
I don't just get it !! He thinks the EUROs has more top teams than the worldcup but he couldn't beat a team that has never been to the AFCON finals or never won it. Make it make sense.

When you belittle others achievements and hype your own (it is not as if yours are any bigger o), what you get from people and I must say neutral people is the kind of treatment CR7 is getting now.

I personally don't like the meme ridiculing him but you ridicule others achievements too!

The hero of that victory is not heard of or praised.
Who remembers the black man who scored the winning goal?

Who remembers Ronaldo was on the bench for that final victory?

Who remembers Eder?
Re: Euro 2016 Equals World Cup For Me, Says Ronaldo After Spain Exit by shortgun(m): 12:11pm On Jul 07
Football is a team sport, Ronaldo is not a team player both in character and on the pitch. That's his greatest undoing. I've always known he's overrated.

European Akpabio has spoken again..... always talking like a brainless narcissist... anything that he can't have or anything that doesn't go his way suddenly loses it value and credibility....you don't dream of winning the world cup but you forced yourself to be part of the team at 41. grin grin grin

Portugal wanted to write the history book but Spain closed the book 😂😂

Somebody should remind this football Atiku that he won only one major trophy with Portugal. Euro 2016, they won when he was injured and subbed off and the player that came in for him scored the winning goal just as they won when he was subbed off against Croatia.
FOOTBALL ATIKU KE, Wetin E mean?

That Euro 2016 was more brutal, interesting & fun-filled than most world cups..
Euro 2016 Portugal drew most of their matches and won last minute.

Boring tournament
Re: Euro 2016 Equals World Cup For Me, Says Ronaldo After Spain Exit by Bahamas95(m):
Ronaldo is talented, no doubt.


The reason some fans dislike him is because he takes credit for everything without appreciating the efforts of his teammates.

He is indeed a great man and an embodiment of handwork with results, but your paragraphs 5 and 6 summarise where he got it wrong and allowed emotion, ego and sentiments to affect his passion and drive. People should learn from his mistakes. I keep repeating it that if he had started some of those crucial matches from the bench or agreed to get substituted ar some points, Portugal would mostly likely reach the final. Even if he didint play a single match, he would share jn the glory of a good performance from his team, being a partner the squad. The coach also edged him on in his delusion and caused his tears to roll down easily.

Absolutely 💯.

Him and the Coach could have worked it out. Let the young guns do the hardwork, then come in when the game is won, almost won. Come in as super sub, score or assists and your ego will be intact, even more pronounced with the headlines saying Ronaldo rescued Portugal.

But no! It has to be about him. He want to hug the headlines, play 90 minutes as an outfield player when you are 41? This is not the Saudi League. This is the W9rld Cup where the best only get selected for their country.

A real pity that he never learned from great sports people about their end.

Everyone that saw Muhammad Ali in his prime actually feared for his life when he turned 35-38 years. Some told him him to retire but his ego didn't allow him see reason. He knew he couldn't dance again and he was battered and the end result being the Parkinson thing he came down with.

I won't be surprised if he sees himself coming back one more time in 2030

😆 🤣

He has his sight on the 1,000 goals already and his arrival is not too far behind....

So......

I just pity him. His wife should talk to him. He needs to let ego off and be a real man. He and his coach destroyed the beauty of football we would have seen in the Portuguese team. Baba wanna pack all the glory to himself as you have rightly put it. He should go back to Saudi league and tap in more goals to reach his 1000 target which is not far fetched. He should focus more on that rather than trying to let his ego destroy that great squad. His teammates just ignored him and played like they were less 1 man.
