They probably know they’ll get abandoned and never spoken to again. It’s easier just telling him he’s the best.
The comprehensive Ronaldo thread
- Thread starter Red the Bear
- Start date
2 own goals off his face as well please.
It can be argued that EtH and Santos have been pretty fair and tolerant toward Ronaldo's antics up to a point but there probably just comes a point where you can't take it or accommodate it anymore. Santos must have been livid with the distraction in the build up to this World Cup.
Just wait for a few months time when the Saudi club start dropping him. If he kicks off then he’ll be in pierces
This guy is good at whatever he thinks he’s doing!
Ronaldo looks so unhappy celebrating with Pepe
*someone in the CAF

Said in response to someone called @captaincantona ffs
Obviously you have the players that won more with United than Ronaldo and for some scored significantly more. Nobobies like Sir Bobby Charlton, Best, Law, Giggs, Rooney and a few others?
Unbelievable Geoff
Ha ha! Didn't he.He looked like he had a tear in his eye the twat
You are blinded by Ronaldo love. He is a self absorbed narcissist who only wants glory for himself. He wants Portugal to win with him playing 90 minutes every game only.
Colour me shocked that another side's attack looks markedly better without the Statue of Vanity up front.
How do you know that? I’ve always enjoyed your posts, but it seems you cannot be objective when it comes to Ronaldo. No person with an ego as huge as his would be happy in that context.
I want to see Portugal win it now with Ronaldo on bench so I can watch the world burn
Ronaldo fan boys saying how he has taken the bench himself for the good of the team.
His acolytes will claim Portugal couldn't have done it without him
It’s still a World Cup winners medal for him and one he won’t be getting if he leads the attack. Going full John Terry is his best option.
Do they all have more standout moments and crucial moments leading to united winning trophies? I’m not old enough to have seen Law Best Charlton but Giggs and Rooney? They have longevity but that’s not the point.
You fell apart with the last bit
Yes
This. They already do it with the Euros final. The amount of times I've seen people unironically claim he coached them to the win in the final
Is your point that Cantona was more successful and had more standout moments than Ronaldo?
Why ?
People saying other wise are creating narratives they want to believe and it’s exhausting.
The man himself said he could score zero goals the whole tournament and he would be the happiest man in the world if Portugal won the WC.
A lot of the crap said on here during the tournament is created narratives skewed by hate because of how he left United.
If he starts or not I could care less as long as we win the WC. I don’t think he cares who scores the winner as long as they win, he has done more for Portugal then anymore ever and the reason they are where they are today has a lot to do with him. He has carried the country for years, now in his later years where he is not the same it’s ok that they help him now. Would be a deserved win for his legacy and for Portugal.
Well, yeah.
You said name someone with more standout moments for United. There's quite a few people outside of your Ronaldo bubble that fit that list.
In what way?
In that there’s plenty of players who have given the fans the moment you speak of. Not just Ronaldo.
Rooney was great and instrumental in the very same competitions that we won with Ronaldo. Rooney alone put your silly point to rest and he hasn't been the most instrumental of the lot.
Dear lord the mental gymnastics to put Ronaldo on a pedestal above everyone else is ridiculous
If they reach the finals and he is still on bench then i can see him standing on the touchline and acting like the manager giving out tactical instructions. Just like he did it in the euros.
I've always liked Portugal in tournaments. In this tournament, I'm actively rooting for them to lose even though they have Bruno Fernandes and Diogo Dalot. It is what it is, you should move on instead of getting exhausted by the Ronaldo narrative. To many of us, he's a massive douchebag who shat on the club. feck him.
Oh I never said others haven’t.
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday I was there and helped Portugal
But all that I can see is just a G. Ramos goal
I jumped real high
I kicked real hard
I siu siu siu siu siu'd everytime
But all that I can see is just a G. Ramos goal

Rhyming scheme isn't great.

He cares more about his legacy than Portugal.
What are you saying then? No one has given more? Again if so that’s subjective
