Cristiano Ronaldo

If he comes back expect more controversy and some of the Portugal players unhappy. If you dislike Portugal then grab popcorn.

They crossed the bridge they feared and sew it was fine. They would be foolish not to take on this opportunity to rid themselves of him.
 
Meanwhile this guy is keeping an eye on the new team he acquired

Modern day Portugal is a small time nation. It's typical for small time nations to worship celebrities and elevate them as national heroes, even though the celebrity in question didn't even do anything for them. 1 penalty knockout goal in 6 World Cup attempts or what was it?

Should have been ditched from the squad 10 years ago for not performing other than statpadding against Luxembourg and Liechtenstein in qualifiers, let alone now as a 41 year old geriatric leech who wants to use them to get to his personal records (just like his entire career).

Shenanigans over a 41 year and whether he was left on the bench during glorified friendlies or not. Couldn't be more small time than that.
 
This donkey truly liked an IG post about Felipe Melo complaining about the different treatment Messi gets from his arg teammates compared to Ronaldo. The same idiot who talks in the third person and doesn't give a damn about his former teammates when he talks about his titles won with Portugal, lmao.

No chance, if he comes back he's coming with guarantees he'll play every match he wants. That's the best scenario, the comedy series will continue.

Fuck them, in my lifetime I only saw Figo's and Cristiano's Portual, have to say they aren't my favorite NT.

Only haters are delusional. Based on public reaction, the national team better off and Portuguese media being split, and unc running 42, I say it's over. The only delusion is people believing/fearing this guy will make a comeback and score hattricks in 2 games in a row, while can't even coordinate his feet with the ball anymore.
 
Can't wait for the "Messi, Messi" chants from the crowd on his first away game if he is actually allowed to come back. At this point it might even be the home crowd.

JJ agreed for a meeting.

If he allows the spoiled brat to return the team is finished.

I actually think the Portuguese FA is the main party to blame.

It seems Ronaldo still gets them brands and deals for money. You just need to see their (Portugal) posts with Ronaldo and without, with him, they've got 4m likes; without him (200k), the difference is crazy, so I think they always try to involve him cause he attracts brands, fans etc, cause portuguese jornalists were saying that when Portugal plays, many fans there aren't even Portuguese, but Brazilians, Chinese, etc who come to watch.

Since Ronaldo left Portugal, over 2m people have unfollowed their ig, though if I were Portuguese, I would be happy cause, the fans leaving aren't really looking for he good of Portugal but for Ronaldo. The FA, though, won't want it, as they'll be more interested in the financial aspect

If you notice, when journalists discuss this issue, they mostly highlight Ronaldo's current contribution to the brand and stuff like that, which seems significant, but the FA needs to try to move on. It could be hard mainly due to financial contribution, which is why I think they're quick to try to find a way to resolve the matter, so they could maybe continue using his image and all to get deals and stuff like that, cause footballing wise, they're way better without him now cause he's over 40 and not what he used to be.

If you look further, you'll see they've played 5 games this year without him and won 4 and drew 1, so they haven't lost any game without him; this probably applies to Al Nassr, who have played 8 games this year without him and won all 8, to show that these teams are probably better without him when it comes to football now.

In summary, he's a global icon and brings investment and money, so I think that's why he gets to play, and it seems he knows his brand's worth and uses that to make sure he gets games wherever.

We all know that the FA wants him back, but sooner or later Cristiano will leave the team, whether now or in 6-7-8 months and his teenager fans will stop following Portugal and the same applies to sponsorships.

At this point i'm almost 99% sure he did all that to grab attention because of Messi's farewell.

I hope he comes back for another game or two just to be ridiculed more.
 
This is not grabbing anyone's attention in a positive way.

His legacy in Portugal is seriously damaged, now that they feel on their skin how egocentric and selfish he is.

Though they already felt it, for more than a decade. But it took this man coming and saying that to everyone for them to realize.
