Yes, Ronaldo should have done better against the top teams at NT level, but to call the all-time topscorer of Portugal a fraud is ridiculous.
Portugal is a solid team, but they were never one of the true elites. Both Messi and Ronaldo would be doing better for the likes of Spain/Germany, though Argentina should be a notch above Portugal, on paper.
Both Messi and Ronaldo have done well for their NTs, but neither one of them are the unstoppable machines for NT as they are for their clubs, due too worse teammates. Messi operates on a higher level than Ronaldo, but even the best needs teammates to help, this is a team game.
