I pretty much count goals in leagues like MLS and Saudi as friendly goals.

Same here.

I too count goals in leagues like MLS.

But Saudi as friendly goals.

It's painful to watch him play these days. Declined really ungracefully.

No, he declined just fine.

He is over 38 years old, its silly to expect someone to be at top level at this stage.

No, relative to his peak ability he declined really hard. Ibrahimovic, Aduriz, Giroud, Dzeko and the likes declined (if at all) much better, but that's because they never relied on pace and acceleration. What I meant is that Ronaldo's inconsistent technique is more visible now after his athleticism cannot mask it anymore. He looks like a pub player sometimes these days.

He kept it going at a high level until 36, which is very good, most players are done at 34.

Zlatan i will give you, but thats an exception, not the norm, vast majority of players dont age that well.

At 38 it's not that weird to look like a pub player at times.
most footballers decline hard before 33.

This man will never retire until he won WC.

I have to say he destroyed his potential chance if winning WC last time with some stupid ego things like wanting Bruno's goal against Uruguay in second group stage match. I mean of course he wants to score but youre 37 and playing as a starter the WC, the most important thing is to win the trophy. I think he also wanted to show his Manu guys that he still got it, thats why he was even more hungry for goals than usual. Then the words against Santos when he was subbed out against south korea....dude those things destroy the team chemistry. Look at argentinia, everyone was happy when someone scored there, you saw the hunger of them just to win the trophy.

It is what it is, i hope in EURO24 he will be more the team guy like in EURO16

This man will never retire until he won WC.

Seeing how Portugal bends over for him he will get a few more chances. At worst as a mascot on the sidelines Euro style.
