Sure and that’s what I am trying to say - not his intention but the goal did happened because of his jump.
The comprehensive Ronaldo thread
- Thread starter Red the Bear
- Start date
He's a classic narcissist.
*Siiiuuuuure
For the player who had such a high standards, his end of career is nothing but a joke. He has become a meme now and that has nothing to do jealousy or Messi vs Ronaldo thing.
Remember they gave Kane one of these type goals and he came out and swore on his kids life he touched it 
sky sports have confirmed adidas have said it’s Fernandes goal based on technology inside the ball
The other reason you know he didn't touch it, is because he came over to celebrate with the guy who "assisted" him. When does he do that? A teammate can run the pitch, beat 10 men, round the keeper, then square to him for a tap in and he'll still sprint off to the opposite corner to do his look at how amazing I am celebration.
The meltdown of Ronaldos ego the last few weeks has been something to behold. I can sort of forgive the kids who don’t understand it to be fair, we were all once young and naieve as f**k.
Any odds on Ronaldo claiming he invented soccer and beat the nazis back on D day? I mean I wasn’t around when these things happened so maybe he has a time machine and was able to do it?
I mean we can’t really confirm or deny it so Who knows?

Maybe we should have a thread of things Ronaldo touched
Allegedly.
This is just an excuse for fanboys
that ball wouldn't be in it then
even if his hair touched it, that’s not enough to claim it’s your goal.
It wasn’t enough to change the path of the ball, the chip inside the ball detected no movement.
Ronaldo is desperate to score and be the star of the show, of course he’d claim it. in his head it was a bullet header

I don't think anybody would dispute that. People just found it strange that you felt the need to compare Ronaldo unintentionally missing a header with a "genius" intentional Pele dummy.
It’s a sensor inside the ball that detects impact (primarily for making more accurate offside calls). Can you think of a more conclusive way of determining whether he touched the ball?
According to him "technology" sucks and we don't REALLY know what happened so the goal should be awarded to the biggest baby claiming it.
Everyday is filled with drama.
Most players would laugh it off and move on.

Shameless...
Sorted.
Petty and pathetic more like.
After backing himself into a corner by doing the interview he was always going to be insufferable at this WC. He knows he's cranked up the stakes to a level he's not capable of anymore. Now he's combining his usual narcissism with the need to prove himself to possible suitors. It's a perfect storm of ego, self-righteousness and bitterness.
That's hilarious.
What chance has some skinny kid got of stopping a premier league player wellying it in from 6 yards.
Mad really. Like they don't realise it's also one of their own players they're denying a goal to!
How embarrassing. He clearly felt the air whoosh past his head and tried to claim it as his goal. He definitely knows he didn't touch it. I used to do the same when I was about 12 years old at school. His celebration and subsequent reactions are hilarious and sad from an almost 40 year old man.
Imagine being in the locker room with Ronaldo assuring he touched it and sort of believing him since he's your teammate, and then science comes out that it's bullshit. Awkward.
Wait - has no one clarified that his reaction and subsequent disregard for his countries/team mates achievements is actually his legendary GOAT mentality?
I can see the resident Sporting fans have planted their seeds well
I cannot imagine what would happen if Portugal actually win this world cup
Fair point. If it’s sensitive enough that it detects anything at all then obviously that’s conclusive. What’s the sensitivity?
Ronaldo walking around getting way too close to his team mates who are all sitting, heads down, whilst he gesticulates theatrically wearing just his pants.
Well, science is a liar sometimes.
I can’t say for certain, but less sensitive than Ronaldo, I would imagine.
"poor ol Jamie, he's got no chance!"
If he's teaching them the technique, what's the point having he keeper in the goal?
He's a prat of the highest order.
I wonder if Neville Southall was there watching this part and was absolutely fed up by the time they did the" well done, he's 13" part.
I wish the keeper came out just once and clobbered him while going for the ball
I cannot imagine what would happen if Argentina actually win this world cup. Ronaldo would seriously need to be sectioned if he sees Messi lifting the trophy! (Not gonna happen though).
Sad.
I don't like that the man responsible for some of my best memories supporting United is such a prick.
Just hope he does a Nistelrooy a while after his career is done, admits he was a fanny at the end of his time here and takes responsibility. And fecks off Piers Morgan.
Ronaldo is turning himself into a meme - this is hilarious! If you'd told me years ago that Ronaldo would come back and it would end acrimoniously I would be gutted but this complete meltdown from him has been genuinely hilarious. No one in football takes him seriously now (apart from weirdos who are just obsessed with the man for some reason).
Even if you did think you got a touch, a humble person would be more like "I touched it, but whatever my mate scored and my country are into the next round!" not throw tantrums and appeal for the goal to be yours post-match. I would expect that Bruno would give him the goal if it was his decision, because he is more intent on winning than having a goal added to his wikipedia total.
