Cristiano Ronaldo - v1

[Ghosting]

Nope. I'm on the border with Hampshire so not to far into Dorset. About 45 minutes from Southampton.

Oh ok, so yeah normal southern accent then I guess, Dorset is usually considered part of the West Country though when it comes to accents.

His game is average. For someone who is "next to Messi", Schalke should be playground.

Has he not got 3 goals and 3 assists in his last two games at Schalke though?

He will never dominate a game the way Messi does on the ball thats not his game, his main strengths are off the ball.

Thats ok, but there are at least 10 better goalscorrers then ronaldo (and messi) and 20 better then Maradona, yet not one is better then Maradona. He made it all about numbers and goals, he is next to useless withotut teammate delivery.

It's a bit sad though. He's been trying to get that bicycle kick for years now. And Suarez comes to Spain and gets one within his first few months.

He had one amazing one that got beautifully saved for the rest it has been cringeworthy.
Suarez is like Ibra in that regard, what he pictures in his head happens when he tries to score in a certain way.

Its because Ronaldo is a machine, he doesn't have pure moments of genius like Ibra, Messi, Suarez, Neymar hell even Bale is more inventive than Ronaldo. He doesn't do anything that other people can't do besides run hella fast and jump hella high which is purely physical. He is much more of a world class athlete than a footballer.

For all the theatrics and razzmatazz that comes with the Ronaldo show, when the game is on the line, he usually goes missing. He's had a couple moments in big games but for me, the best players rise to the occasion when their team needs them the most, and I honestly can't recall a game in which he was truly the difference in a tight match against a world class team. He rides off of the momentum of his teammates, off of their dirty work, and then gloats about and rips his shirt off when he wins penalties after he dives to win them.

Personally, I'd hate to play on a team with a guy like Ronaldo. Prima donna to the T and I'd much rather have to keep up with Messi's magic or a guy like Ibra than his winy prissy ass.

 

[linetty]

yeah, if not for the incredible poaching skills he'd be just another average player

More like its not ment to be, his bicycle kicks have been hindered by post and excellent goalkeeping so far in his Madrid-career. Its bad luck he doesnt have a couple of them by now.

TBF, he used to be a far better player in the past than he is now. 11/12 Cristiano is best Cristiano. Since joining Madrid, he's just been dropping aspects of his game, and now he's mainly this Inzaghi type poacher, albeit an incredible one. Sprinkle in a few assists here and there too.

You have a few, sure, 10? I very much doubt it.

Messi is better than Maradona and has proved far more in his career in everything but one international tournament.

Who? You can't just give us an arbitrary number and leave us hanging without some names. Gerd Muller, Bican, Pele... Who else?

Romario?

I'm not talking about Messi, I'm talking about 30+ guys who scored more then Maradona.
