When does the ballondor voting close?

When does Ronaldo score his next hat trick?

When does Ronaldo score his next hat trick?

Hehehe I was gonna say 3hours after the Ronaldo movie premiere ends

IIRC it's 30th November unless there's some late voters in which case they'll wait for them another week or something like that.

It is the knee 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.

Wasn't Suarez 2nd and Ronaldo 3rd? I think Suarez had more votes...

 

[TornAndFrayed]

You are right ! Messi had 49 votes, Suarez 3 and Ronaldo 2. Close indeed.

Permament knee pain? That's sad to hear honestly.

 

[KingMessi]

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

They should be. And if not, there's always next year.

Wonder if tomorrows game is yet another missing in action game from him

 

[Internazionale]

Well, Luiz(if he starts) is back for PSG so he might get a goal in and a few nutmegs

Bro... don't fall for that crap please.. permanent pain, yeah right, what a superhero.

 

[raskolnikov]

I believe the knee story, he never really took enough time off to heal completely so its logical that it can end up as chronic.
Chasing Messi might turn him into Batistuta if he isnt careful.
But his current decine isnt just due to his knee, its a normal thing for players who rely on athleticism, once they aree around 30 the body naturally declines.
Same way Messi's dribble will decline when his acceleration goes.
ronaldo can still end up being a strong player with great positioning, basically doing what he does nowadays. Be Inzaghi, score penaldo's, pay for big teams and get credit on his name.
But it wont be the same as 2010-2013/14 for example.

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.

You just post what you want to fit your own agenda. During his spell here, he has an excellent goalscoring record against almost any team. If you want to look at one particular year to say "Ronaldo is awful against atletico lawl" or something then thats your problem. In general, Ronaldo scores against everyone, simple as that. The fact that he gets the occasional goal galore against relegation teams has nothing to do with it.

Reference

Thats some crazy consistency.

 

[TornAndFrayed]

Messi is 23% less effective in G+A against top 3 league opponents.
Cristiano is 52% less effective.

Cristiano is significantly more hindered by quality opposition.
