Important changes to #womensfootball that I'm certain will improve viewership. A thread!

[25/26 PL Champions @ImFollowingTad]

The Media logic:

Messi scores 5 = GOAT

Mbappe scores 4 = World Cup Great

Haaland scores 4 = Great Goalscorer

Ronaldo scores 2 = ARE STARS STAT-PADDING?

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

🇵🇹 Are Cristiano Ronaldo and other stars stat-padding?
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Is England's problem their defence?
🗣️ Should we take Carlos Queiroz's VAR concerns seriously?
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland fans to put on another show against Brazil?

Inferior men are always waiting to see a chink in your armour. All those ex pros talking negatively about Ronaldo saw their only chance to feel superior.

Now we're back to status quo

Backup man and the Super Ex remain undefeated on this app

[the_ceo @the_ceo99]

How do I convince men that most women have a backup man waiting the moment they become single again?

[Martien 🇳🇱 @MartienBall]

Olise is always looking to feed Mbappe. Odegaard is always looking to feed Haaland.

But somehow it only becomes a problem when Portugal players are expected to feed Ronaldo who is literally their TARGET man. The agenda is insane.

[25/26 PL Champions @ImFollowingTad]

This is how we should lineup. Ramos needs to drop deeper out of possession and in possession Cristiano should roam around freely. 2 players always in the box for a cross and very good balance throughout the 11

Feed Ronaldo and this country wins the World Cup

Ronaldo Hat-Trick hunting... AND HAT-TRICK GETTING

[(fan) Leon @Purifiedjustin]

Ronaldo hat-trick against Switzerland in 2019 when he was 34 years old>>>

Peak for peak, remove goals, Rashford is better than Salah

[Mide Of Canada🇨🇦🍁🇨🇦 @Mide__M]

Peak for peak , remove trophies, he isn’t better than Neymar Jnr

[Rasheed || Securities Counsel @AromokalaRashid]

Before Ronaldo, Portugal had only qualified for three word cups out of possible 17. With him, they have qualified for 6 out of 6.

Before Ronaldo, they had only qualified for 3 European championships out of possible 11. With him, they have qualified for 6 out of 6.

Before Ronaldo, they had no major trophies. With him, they have got three in their cabinet.

Which kind of agenda is this, God? 😂😭

[Preeti @MadridPreeti]

The fact is Portugal's status as a football Nation before Ronaldo was like Turkey, Wales or Norway

The only diff is that Ronaldo is so good that by winning Portugal's first ever 3 trophies he made the world believe that they're in the same league as France, Brazil or Argentina

[𝐊𝐞𝐬𝐡🇵🇹 @tweetcunha]

I don’t know bro,ask cristiano Ronaldo

[25/26 PL Champions @ImFollowingTad]

The first World Cup was in 1930.

7 of the 8 World Cup winners here.

According to some, only players from the 8 winning nations can be considered the GOAT.

Its a great tournament but talent is so unevenly distirbuted that the World Cup can't be used in a GOAT debate.

[FIFA World Cup @FIFAWorldCup]

Netherlands become the eighth team to score over 100 #FIFAWorldCup goals 🇳🇱

Not absolving the individuals committing the horrors on the ground but this is Obama’s true legacy.

[am7🇵🇹 @am7evenn]

they all sat down and watched the UCL final 3yrs in a row hoping he would lose

We didn’t grow up on Ronaldo terrorizing Europe for 15 straight years to hear this nonsense

[25/26 PL Champions @ImFollowingTad]

@pythaginboots @Noshades4 @adamkeys_ "Artistry". His opinion is an aesthetic bias.

Consistency and effectiveness are the measuring tools of all sports. Otherwise you could say Hazard is the GOAT because he had "artistry".

Kyrie better than LeBron because of "artistry", Dimitrov better than Nadal "artistry"

[Pythagoras In Boots ⚽️ @pythaginboots]

@Noshades4 @adamkeys_ He wasn’t - he was a highly skilled player but compared to genius of Maradona he had nowhere near the same level of artistry or playmaking. Superior goalscorer though

In short: If you're reckless with money you'll end up without any

[KΞRL_✂️ @KRL_defi_]

Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.

“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”

“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”

“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”

“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”

“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”

“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”

“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”

“I bought my brothers cars.”

“I bought myself a penthouse.”

“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”

“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”

“That’s not how it works.”

“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”

“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”

“That’s why so many guys go broke.”

Morocco invested heavily in diaspora youth integration.

[E @Ellis_]

Morocco should be used as an example for all these countries trying to compete with the big boys

Invest heavily in stadiums, youth players & see if you can tap a couple players up that have dual nationality.

It will take years to achieve but it will be worth it.

When they hosted AFCON and I seen the stadiums over there I was blown away that country is serious about football.
