Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

[TornAndFrayed]

The difference between being number one or two is in the details, like whether or not you win trophies.

Oh Cristiano.

 

[6 Ballons for Messi]

Imagine what he will be sayign 15 years from now.

For me, my underwear are the best in history.

Oh Cristiano.

El Pichichi is a trophy.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

El Pichichi is a trophy.

more like the greatest achievement ever in the liga

Collective trophies are afterthoughts though

Another forgiven red card. 3 metres from the referee.

Yeah....no. Say what you want about his overall play, he has an excellent goalscoring record against better sides as well.

Eeeeeeh, no he doesn't, check out the stats/graphs

Paging, [MENTION=19656]LordLichtenstein[/MENTION].

Ronaldo scores against any team, just does better against relegation teams logically because of his stattpadding.
His cl ko record is excellent as well. Him being overrated as a footballer doesnt mean he isnt a worldclass goalscorer.

Yeah, he does. You can say what you want about his overall play, his performance as a goalscorer is top notch regardless. But ofc, he scores more against worse teams, thats only natural.

Can we now please cut the crap, I'm sick of this imposter

Hide the Espanlol line and you have the most average record possible, not even talking about penalties.

This year he has been pretty mediocre by his standards, he should not be on the ballon d'or stage.
But he usually scores against all opponents, him and messi have most cl ko round goals and he has most in the semi's along with an overal solid record vs Barcelona/Atletico/Valencia/Sevilla how can you say he doesnt score against big teams?

Ronaldo with more assists than Nerman though. Most complete footballer ever.

If you push me, I would even say that CR doesn't "score"; he taps in. For me he doesn't deserve to be anywhere near top 5 because he does nothing by himself.

But whatever, he's finally shit all around now, let's just enjoy it

There is no discussion to be had - Messi, Suárez and Neymar MUST be on the podium.

 

[Galning]

That's not going to happen though.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

I'm not so sure about that. It will be awfully close. 2nd, 3rd and 4th can go in any direction imo.

Nah Ronaldo's name is still linked with Messi as way above the rest, that alone gets him on the stage.
In the end people will give it to Messi due to the treble and it will be Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar in that order.
Neymar is more popular than Suarez and beside the diving his rep isnt as bad.
Its not what should happen but its a popularity media driven award after all.

Suarez was voted 3rd best Uefa player while neymar was voted fifth. I didn't expect that but it happened all the same. And Suarez came awfully close to topping Ronaldo as well.
