@MUFCDarren_ MF still think Ronaldo is bigger than Portugal. The only thing that is big is his ego you cunt

[Appie Culé @appiecule]

I’m going to take my time with this one. If you’re busy, save this post and read it later. If you’re a night owl like me, this is a good late-night read.

Do you know the worst thing about Cristiano Ronaldo?

It’s that he set the standards for what defines a legend… and in the end, he couldn’t even live up to the standards he created himself.

After winning Euro 2016, Ronaldo said:

“You can’t become a legend until you win a trophy with your national team.”

It was an obvious dig at Messi.

Argentina had just lost the 2014 World Cup final to Germany, and Messi was going through the toughest period of his international career. Those words only added fuel to the fire.

Where was the respect for a rival, Ronaldo?

The surprising part was that social media completely embraced that narrative. Messi was labeled a bottler, while Ronaldo was declared the winner of the rivalry—at least in the media, not on the pitch.

Then Messi retired from international football, came back, won the Copa América, and suddenly they were level in major international trophies.

What happened next?

Ronaldo fans started saying that one Euro is worth more than a hundred Copa Américas, claiming there was no competition in South America. Not true—but that became the excuse.

Then Messi went on to win the World Cup.

This time, the excuses changed again.

They claimed FIFA had fixed the tournament for Messi. That the World Cup was scripted in his favor. They simply didn’t know what else to say.

Then Ronaldo himself came out with one of the strangest quotes imaginable:

“A legend’s career can’t be defined by just seven games.”

At first glance, it sounds reasonable.

But beneath it was another attempt to diminish what Messi had achieved.

Before the World Cup, they insisted it would be Ronaldo’s tournament. On paper, Portugal had a fantastic squad. If the manager couldn’t get the best out of them, that’s Portugal’s problem—not Ronaldo’s.

Yet that same Portugal squad wasn’t any weaker than the Argentina team Messi led to the 2014 World Cup final—the same team people mocked Messi for not carrying to the title.

Just a couple of days ago, Ronaldo said:

“The World Cup doesn’t define my career, whether I win it or not.”

A statement that directly contradicts what he had said years earlier, when he admitted that winning the World Cup would make him feel completely fulfilled.

Now you’re 41 years old, Cristiano.

By your own standards:

* You have 5 Ballon d’Ors, not 8.
* You have one European Championship, not two Copa América titles.
* You never won the World Cup.
* You have four European Golden Shoes, while Messi has six—even though you’re an out-and-out striker.

So what now?

Will you keep playing until the next World Cup and become the first player to appear in one at 45, hoping to finally win it?

If we judged you by the standards you created, you wouldn’t qualify as a legend.

Of course, nobody actually judges you that way. Everyone still recognizes you as one of football’s greatest legends.

The real mistake was comparing Ronaldo to Messi in the first place.

That rivalry was exaggerated from the beginning by the media and figures like José Mourinho.

Messi conquered every major trophy available to him, shattered records that once seemed untouchable, and at 39 years old he’s still competing with Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland—the stars of the next generation—for the Golden Boot. And honestly, he could still win it.

What made Messi beloved by so many fans is that he never tried to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, repeatedly made comments that many interpreted as attempts to downplay his greatest rival’s accomplishments—and that’s never an admirable trait.

Cristiano helped create a generation that thinks belittling other people’s achievements while constantly glorifying your own is a way to establish dominance.

Good bye. Ronaldo.

@ThatAnfieldBuzz Where were VVD?

[Daniel Austin @_Dan_Austin]

Just to be clear, then. FIFA:

1) can't possibly intervene when Iran are forced to move, a referee is denied a visa, or fans are barred from the USA

2) can absolutely intervene when a decision goes against the USA that Donald Trump doesn't like

Smashing. All know where we stand

@Ramsgoat3 What is wrong with you man? Seriously

[TimiliciousTim @MonsoG10]

Liar. We judged you because we stuck with you during your darkest days. Arsene continue to extend your contract even when we hardly get anything from you because you’re always injured. I could remember one unnecessary friendly that you went to play against Brazil & got injured. It was a Felipe Melo tackle and you came back to the treatment room once again even when you’re warn to prioritize the club. We still stuck with you after that and just a good season and half, contract came and you assured us you’re gonna sign, you highlighted how the club supported you, your family, your household and even made reference to your grandpa who was at the time 90+ years, how your wife and children feel at home but in the end you showed us your true colors. I didn’t even believe it until I read life on your website. You degraded Wenger who above all trusted you through your darkest days. You degraded your teammates. You degraded the fans and the board. In all of these you acted like you didn’t care but now you want to save face and pretend all is well @Persie_Official … we don’t know you and never will.

REMINDER:

Iran faced:

- Visa issues
- Travel restrictions
- Supporters having ticket allocations revoked
- Their domestic league suspended since February due to the war, affecting 17 of the 26-man squad
- Constant political pressure from the media

Yet they finished their 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage undefeated.

3 matches.
3 draws.
3 goals scored.

They refused to be beaten.

Bravo, Iran.👏 🇮🇷

[Turkish Archives @TurkishArc]

James Henderson, a former Royal Marine, was murdered by the IDF while carrying food to children in Gaza.

His fiancée said of him: “We want to keep his memory alive for as long as we possibly can.”

Remember his name.

@LordphemitShawn @appiecule He is talking about humility. Something Ronaldo or his fans do not have.
