No no no. I mean rationalization as a basic defense mechanism. You are defending against emotional conflict: 1. From a real Madrid fan point of view most of them want Cr7 to succeed in wc and play brilliant. 2. When he fails to do that you start taking about injuries, real Madrid fan point of view..and thats Its probably a good thing. 3 Its all a subtle form of lying, but you dont know it.
He failed big time. Accept it.
Of course that I would love Ronaldo to be completly cured and in top form, leading Portugal with some beautiful goals outside the group, its completely normal. As it is now... Im glad it will end quickly. He didnt fail for me. I didnt expect that much from him in the first place.

The only people who are defending CR are fanboys/-girls and madridistas. He failed big time, but he doesn't even have the courage to say that he's been as bad as the rest of his team. Coward!
Lol? Look at the voting 222 people like his statement and 4 people dislike it. You are blinded by your hate for him.
You think that Poland is dominated by Real supporters? Over here Barca has more fans than Real! It has nothing to do with it, people support his statement becuase he said simple truth.

@turson give it up mate. He basically deflected the blame onto his team mates, it was very much a Mourihno type of thing to say. Never my fault , blame someone else.
He didn't complain when his team was getting to euro finals and WC semi finals... and now that they are struggling he talks about limitations. Plenty of teams have limitations, but they don't have captains shunning responsibility... and of course he brings up the injury and the ice pack. His own team mates said he was fine, they said the ice packs were being used by everyone, and now suddenly oh yeah I'm not fit and my team sucks.

I can't believe those statements he made lmao. Damn. There is a thin line between being a "realist" and being a straight dick of a captain.
If you were a neutral 3rd party, yea it might be ok to say "Portgual never had a shot of winning the World Cup anyways." But When you are the CAPTAIN of your team, you always have to tell yourself and your players you believe you can make it. Belief is probably the ONLY thing teams like USA, Algeria etc have going for them, and that's more than enough in many cases.
You don't tell your team "Well guys, basically we suck. And by we, I mean you guys. We're not going to win shit, and never should expect to in the first place."
Good ol Captain Cristiano

Cristiano: “Maybe we're an average team. It'd be a lie to say that we are a 'top' team. We've many limitations and suffer from injuries.”
If Messi had said that, he would've been slaughtered by the press.
Great captain
And I can't believe Turson is defending him. Messi also has a very limited team... If he dared to say something like that, he'd be crucified and skinned alive. But cr can spew all kind of bs, and some people will say it's ok. Good grief.

Klinsmann said that about the US, that they had no chance of winning the WC. I don't see anything wrong with being honest, it's not like he's saying, "we're all terrible and shouldn't have even qualified," he's just pointing out that they're not a top team, which is 100% true.

Klinsmann told the American fans to temper their expectations because they're chances of actually winning the cup were slim, and he said that prior to the World Cup starting. Meanwhile, Portugal has suffered one humiliating defeat and one draw in which they were completely outplayed. And instead of acting like a good captain, Cristiano proceeds to add insult to injury by calling his teammates average, essentially blaming them for the poor results.
Why not?
http://sport.wp.pl/kat,1040437,titl...rzecietna-druzyna,wid,16702032,wiadomosc.html -> 98,36% of people thinks he said the right thing. So whats so strange about it? You people just live on another planet.
Bullshit. He said that they werent strong enough as a team, including him. Cant you read?
