Yes, of course.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Yes, of course.
That is a very impressive record, not gonna lie.
Okay. Should they, though?
I don't really care to be honest, official is official. That is all that literally counts.
Absolutely, they should.
You do realize Saudi pro League is one of the top 30 leagues in world football and ranked higher than the Scottish Premiership?
As a Scot I really have to say that our league shouldn't be a benchmark for anything, it's fecking terrible
The Scottish league still maintains its global recognition largely due to the presence of historic clubs like Celtic and Rangers. Scottish teams have also won 10 European trophies.As a Scot I really have to say that our league shouldn't be a benchmark for anything, it's fecking terrible
And we're meant to take the 30th best league in the world seriously?
1. Premier League
2. La Liga
3. Serie A
4. Bundesliga
5. League One
6. Turkey's league
7. Dutch league
8. Portugal's league
9. Brazil's league
10. Maybe MLS
That's about all the leagues that matter.
Every time I open this thread expecting something interesting, it’s Ronaldo scoring a penalty against semi-pros.
Nice assist to Messi with number 10.
Al-Wehda had no chance.
Why not? It's a sht league but it's still a professional league
Same and am I alone in not watching him in any match since joining this Saudi retirement league?
I literally didn't even know there was a Saudi league until he joined them
Why the hell would League One be fifth?
They probably meant Ligue 1
Yeah, that would make way more sense.
Saudi league is better than MLS
Never in a thousand years. (And no, I don’t watch either.)
Not at all. Both are bad but Saudi is much worse.

According to Opta:
MLS is 10th
Saudi Pro is 26th

You realise 30 leagues is A LOT though, right? Like in any other sport the 30th best league is like the 5th best league’s U11s?
In the "top 30 leagues" is high praise indeed.
Especially when its very close to 30th.
The Saudi League is far stronger than the MLS at this point, maybe not before the spending spree but certainly now.
Al-Hilal have Koulibaly, Cancelo, Ruben Neves, Mitrovic and Milankovic Savic, players that could all start for Man Utd arguably, and that's not even including Neymar who's still injured.
Even looking at some of the other squads
Al-Itthiad: Kante, Fabinho, Bergwin, Aouar, Moussa Diaby and Karim Benzema
Al Ahli: Kessie, Demiral, Ibanez, Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Firmino, Ivan Toney
Al-Nassr: Laporte, Sadio Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo
Some of those players aren't even past their prime, players like Toney, Neves and Mitrovic are in their best years. Even the smaller teams have players like Moussa Dembele or Wijnaldum.
Name one team in the MLS that even comes close to those mentioned aside from Inter Miami.

League rankings aren't based on the top 30 best players in each league, you have to take the entire league into account.
Look at the link @Gehrman posted above, it shows that 2 teams in SA are ranked higher than the best teams in MLS but you also have 8 teams that are ranked lower than the worst teams in MLS, which means that overall the MLS is a much stronger league.
Pretty sure a league is made up of more than a scattering of once upon a time players
Puts Messi's name on the thumbnail of his latest YouTube video. Wow!
Wow! Great content! Hahahahaha
WTF hahaha
I wonder if the ones mentioned are kind of an homage or teasing, I don't recall even mentioning Romario and Benzema, yet he mentioned Platini, Higuain, Alfredo, Eusebio, Ney, Suarez, Lewa, Pele, Lio, etc

Feck, I clicked into it.
If only you could retract a youtube view.
What garbage.
Really undignified end to his career with his insecurity on full display.
Thanks for the French
10? I'm pretty sure they've only won 3.....4 if you want to count the European Super Cup.
I don't think Scottish teams have even made 10 European finals.....think it's about 6 or 7 at most.

I can remember this parody account on twitter that which tells that Cristiano's girlfriend said that Ronaldo went mental when Messi won the wc and started playing Fifa on very Easy mode against Argentina over and over and absolutely hammering them.
Seeing him overtake Messi on the final stretch in that racing game on the same day that Messi clinched the top spot for Inter Miami the 1st time in their history makes me question whether it really was parody.
