You didn't watch the games.
This is what happens to a player that plays alone.
Portugal 2008. Group of death. Czech Republic, Turkey, Switzerland. He drags them out. Goal against Czech. Assist. Man of the Match. Group winners.
Then Quarter-Final. Germany. Ballack, Lahm, Schweinsteiger, Klose, Podolski, prime Germany.
Portugal? A 23-year-old boy. Deco tired. Simao lost. Nuno Gomes alone up front. And him.
They double him. Triple him. Lahm fouls him. Metzelder kicks him. Every time he gets the ball - three white shirts.
He still tries. He dribbles two. He shoots from 30 yards. He tracks back to defend. He crosses. No one there.
Germany wins 3-2. He walks off, shirt soaked, alone.
That same summer, he had just won Ballon d'Or. 42 goals for Man United. Champions League. Premier League. The best in the world.
And in that tournament, he learned the cruelest lesson of his career:
You can be the best player in the world, but you cannot beat 11 men alone.
Ronaldo had only hope in the national team.
2008 is not his failure. 2008 is the proof. Give him a team, he gives you trophies. Leave him alone, and he still tries to carry the whole country on his back.
That's why Euro 2016 meant so much. It was the first time the team finally tried for him too.
Genre Ronaldo a joué avec Benzema, Bale , Rooney, Tevez, Nani, Berbatov, Higuain et j’en passe ….
Ils ont jamais osé tirer un penalty devant lui mais il a fallu que ce soit Bruno Fernandes qui le fasse quoi ?
Yeah… this is the lowest point this sport has ever been.
For the first time ever, players are literally self-campaigning for the Ballon d’Or like it’s some presidential election. They are talking down on each other, disrespecting clubs, and creating metrics by themselves. Neither Messi nor Ronaldo ever did this nonsense.
At this point, cancel the award for this year. Don’t give it to anyone. This is borderline shameful. None of these players pass the character requirements for the award.
@hafezeye_rapfa@Mehdim2m9 تعداد گل ، تعداد پاس گل
تعداد گل تو مراحل حذفی (تو تک تک هر مرحله بیشترین تعداد گل رو داره)
۵تا سی ال داره و تنها بازیکنیه که تو تمام سی الایی که برده بی شک بهترین بازیکن تورنومنت بوده. تو معتبرترین جام باشگاهی بی شک کریس بهترین تاریخشه.
اوج بی سوادی و لارپر بودن اینایی که دارن “ایراد” های اینجوری میگیرن رو میشه همینجا فهمید
الان اگه میخواستن واسه کرکتر لوسیا و تک تکلباس هاش انیمیشن طراحی کنن که گوشیو تو کدوم جیبش بذاره، باید دوسال دیگه حداقل گیمو تاخیر میزدن بعد همین شماها گریهتون درمیومد.

@7Yojimbo دقیقاا بزرگترین عیب سری فیلمهای اندرو اتفاقا ویلنهاش بودند. نه دقیق بودند نه خوب نوشته شده بودند. ولی خود اندرو و اما باعث شدند این سری برای همیشه خاص بشه
Why bother performing all season when you can win the Ballon d'Or in one month after playing well against Algeria, Austria, Jordan, Cape Verde, Egypt and Switzerland?
What is this utter nonsense man? 😭
Care to explain the Negriera Scandal at Barca? The alleged fund transfer by FIFA, AFA & CONMEBOL into a shell company based in Miami where you play now? Adidas' alleged funds to Sepp Blatter and then Infantino to give you Man of The Match & Golden Ball in 2014, 2022 & 2026?
Lionel Messi, one of soccer’s wealthiest and most famous stars, has become the subject of conspiracy theories from some World Cup watchers who accuse FIFA of displaying favoritism toward him and the Argentine team.
