I may get a lot of hate from barcaforum but I actually think Ronaldo is a decent lad. There are a lot of primadonnas in this sport, but he really cleaned up his act over the last few years. He seems to have settled down. His only real controversial act as of recent was his photoshoot for GQ.

Honestly, I believe it's all part of the image promotion and every "product" that is bounded to it.
Great kindness is always done by no one knowing anything about it.

Off the pitch he's a decent guy but on it he still dives, crys, and acts like a child. His diving isn't as bad as it once was though.

My "problem" with Ronaldo is that he thinks he's up there with Messi or even better. And whole machinery which is forcing the whole "Messi vs. Ronaldo" thing is just nuts.
It is so strong that polls like this are possible: http://messivsronaldo.net/

56% think that Ronaldo is better. :facepalm:

Ronaldo is amazing player, just like Robben, Suarez, Zlatan or any other top level player is. Messi is something else.

Nothing wrong with thinking he's the best. If he wasn't so confident in himself he'd probably have never become such a great footballer

56% think that Ronaldo is better.

that's a complete legit opinion to have. i can fully understand when many people, especially kids or teenagers think ronaldo's playing style is more exciting, i dunno why that's such a big deal. if you think messi's something else, that's also great and million of people agree with you, but it's no outrage to disagree with that. the whole "best player" label is as subjective as it can get.
Heck for me, the best players are iniesta and zidane. you can show me hundreds of statistics and videos of messi or ronaldo and that won't change. on the other hand, i'm totally fine with the majority thinking it's a two horse race between messi and ronaldo, as long the police doesn't kick my front door in when i'm watching my iniesta vids on youtube

btw sorry, if that came across as too harsh critizism. i totally agree that the overhyped ronaldo vs messi thing is annoying as hell

how is ronaldos game style more exciting than leos? Sure all opinions are valid, but do you honestly believe Ronaldo is a better footballer than Messi?

He hardly dives anymore. Only thing he does quite often is that he falls almost immediately when another player touches him, looking for the free-kick. That's a thing I don't like about him. He's a physcial monster, he shouldn't fall so easily. If you compare that aspect with Messi, he always tries to keep on his feet.

I'll just say that in relativism everyone is great player (including you and myself) and everyone is crap player (including you and myself). I really don't find much value in it, especially not the truth.
I can only say this, everything Ronaldo does, can be done by anyone else...with Messi, it's a bit different. Last time the world has seen something close to that was in times of Maradona and if people
still don't get that or refuse, then from mine POV, should not discuss football at all. But yes, they have all amazing rights to express them self in the most amazing way. In that sense I'll say that
Justin Bieber is the best musician ever. Heck with anyone else who doesn't agree, I'll vote and millions of other teenagers and I'm sure will outvote stupid Beethoven followers.

Some people like Messi. Some people like Cristiano.

Live and let live.

Disagree with them if you want to, but I dont get why people would get frustrated or hung up in some people preferring the one over the other.
