Cristiano Ronaldo

[Maradona37]

Cristiano over 30 was such a goalscoring beast 💯🔥

This is a far more telling graphic. Add 2022 and 2024 too. Context is everything.

Maradona hates CR7 more than OG hated Messi 🤣🤣


@Rassvet @Fati_Future_BallonDor we need OG back to balance things.

 

[Maradona37]

Messi is objectively significantly better than Ronaldo at football so it's impossible for OG (whoever he is) to win any debate because he has backed the wrong horse and loses by default - simple.

There's few, if any, arguments for Ronaldo. I am simply adding context to useless stats about how many goals Ronaldo has scored for the NT post-30 (most against minnows in qualifying).

Gerd Muller 'only' scored 68 goals for West Germany but he scored more important goals than Ronaldo has. It's about quality, not quantity. It's not about playing until you're 90 and racking up your stats against the Pitcairn Islands National Team. That's as empty and hollow as it gets.

The best know when to quit and know when their time is past.

Also, there should be no 'balance'. This is an FC Barcelona forum. Messi is supposed to be admired as a footballer on here, for all he has given to the club. Ronaldo, on the other hand, is supposed to be a figure of fun and mockery for his personality and being a rival.

Would you expect Man United fans to defend Salah or Gerrard or De Bruyne over Scholes and Giggs?

Not that I think football should be fully tribal, or alternative viewpoints shut down. But there certainly shouldn't be any 'balance' on a Barcelona site when it comes to Messi and Ronaldo. Naturally the vast majority here here will prefer Messi. That's the way it should be.

If you wanna see Ronaldo worship then go talk to those utterly clueless cunts on the Real Madrid subreddit.

OG isn't really a CR7 fan. He doesn't care about him. Just relentless Messi hatred. If you think JamDav is good at arguing, wait till you meet OG. 🤣


OG is entertaining af though......unlike that boring cunt JamDav. OG was like Peak Maradona.

I seen a few of the points he made when I looked in past threads and I wasn't impressed. He looks like he was an outspoken guy with little substance behind his points, like he hated Messi and came up with lots of flimsy reasons to justify that. Whereas I dislike Ronaldo predominantly for the reasons I mention regarding football. I dislike him because of those reasons. It isn't a case of me disliking him first then trying to justify why.

I know a Liverpool fan who loves CR7 and Mourinho and would probably defend them in a Liverpool forum

Yeah I like Tempt, he's a decent guy I must say. Especially this new version of him.

But I will never understand loving individuals in football. Not sure how a Liverpool fan can like Ronaldo and Mourinho, makes no sense to me. But some people do prefer individuals over teams these days.

 

[Temptation]

I don't love Ronaldo. I like/admire him and respect the amazing journey he has had in life.


I love Mourinho and he's one of my favourite managers ever. Mourinho has always wanted the Liverpool job and has only said good things about the club and Anfield. I believe he was a Liverpool admirer when he was young. A lot of our fans like him. Easily the most charismatic guy in this sport.

Still better than defending Argentina NT bums like Enzo and RDP.


Atleast Mourinho and Ronaldo were good at their jobs.

 

[Maradona37]

Either way, it's still weird, creepy and exceedingly cringeworthy to defend those two inbreds, while claiming to be a Liverpool fan.

Facts are facts.

Also, Ronaldo is a rapist, that's part of his 'amazing journey', too.

Mourinho has charisma to a degree, but much of what you deem 'charisma' I deem being an utter cunt for the sake of it. It's about perspective. He has also aged horribly physically and as a manager.

Those two bums have still performed better in the World Cup than Creepnaldo ever has, though.

Appropriate use of past tense too, for the has beens.

 

[Maradona37]

Maybe casual Liverpool fans 'love' Mourinho. I'd bet very few who go to Anfield week in week out or religiously follow the club, do.

Allegedly........


Also it's pretty cringeworthy to see a guy hating on "celebrity worshipping culture" brown-nosing Messi at every opportunity.........

It's sheer fanboyism to say 'allegedly' when the case (and his personality, too) point overwhelmingly to it. You like a footballer so much you defend him from criminal allegations.

Also, I don't brown-nose Messi. You'll never see me talk about Messi's 'amazing journey' as if he's travelled to the fucking Land of Oz, or talk about what an 'entertainer' he is off the pitch as you embarrassingly do with those charisma vacuums Ronaldo and Mourinho. I ONLY care about Messi on the pitch, where I defend him so much because he warrants it there. Off the pitch he is meaningless to me, and that isn't part of celebrity culture.

The same way I love Marlon Brando as an actor but acknowledge what a fucked up human he was.

That's the difference you have staggeringly failed to comprehend - you take your admiration away from their vocation. I don't.

Your mask is starting to slip.
