🚨 Jamie Carragher doesn't hold back on Ronaldo after Portugal's elimination 😳

🗣️: "Cristiano Ronaldo should never have started this tournament as Portugal's first-choice striker. That's the uncomfortable truth nobody wanted to say. At 41, he should've been coming off the bench, using his experience in the final 20 or 30 minutes not asking an entire team to revolve around him for 90. Portugal have too much quality to play with sentiment, yet that's exactly what they've done.

Scoring against Uzbekistan in the group stage and shouting, 'I'm back, I'm back,' summed up the problem. One goal against weaker opposition created the illusion that he was still the same player. Then Spain arrived, the level went up, and he delivered one of the poorest performances you'll see from a player of his stature. When Portugal needed their captain to step up, he offered nothing. That's the reality.

Portugal's downfall wasn't about a lack of talent, it was about refusing to make the difficult decision. The biggest teams know when to move forward. Portugal didn't, and they've paid the price.

Now the tournament follows its usual script. Portugal are out, Ronaldo's fans will stop talking about Portugal and immediately become the biggest supporters of whoever Argentina play next. Every time Messi plays, they suddenly become fans of the opposition. Instead of asking why Portugal keep falling short, they'll spend the rest of the World Cup hoping someone else stops Argentina. That's become the story every single tournament."

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.

Right now, most of the opinions are driven by emotion rather than logic—especially from Ronaldo fans, Egyptian supporters, and people simply chasing engagement.

The first incident involving Salah on the right is virtually identical to the one shown below on the left. There is simply not enough contact in either situation to justify a penalty.

The Molina incident had no real impact on the game. It happened near the halfway line, close to the touchline. At most, if the referee wanted to be extremely strict, it could have been a yellow card.

As for the last incident, there wasn't enough contact to award a penalty. We've seen much stronger challenges ignored in the Premier League, and even more obvious ones this World Cup that weren't given either.

What actually happened is easy to explain from a tactical perspective. Egypt's coach crowded Messi out in central areas. But once Scaloni brought on Lautaro Martínez, he occupied those central spaces, allowing Messi to drift to the right wing where he had much more freedom to create and attack the half-spaces. The result? One goal and one assist.

Egypt's substitutions also played a major role. Instead of protecting their lead and trying to take the game into extra time with a compact defensive block, they became too aggressive, pushed their defensive line higher, and left spaces behind. Argentina exploited those spaces, with Martínez assisting Enzo Fernández for the winning goal. On that final goal, the defender misread the situation after checking Enzo's position, stepped up too early, and was punished.

In short, Egypt had a solid tactical game plan, but they failed strategically. Above all, Messi's individual brilliance restored Argentina's belief long before the comeback was completed.

I hope this reaches those who genuinely want to understand football. As for the Ronaldo fanbase that spends its time crying, I honestly couldn't care less whether they understand it or not.

‼️ In this video, a guy with a hat and spectacles with a large Badge, receives a phone call and then approaches the police officer informing that there is ‘Stone throwing’ at Torbung Bazaar ‼️

Within Seconds of the woman ( who can’t speak Meitelon), warning the police officer to catch the culprit otherwise, this burning of the centenary gate will be ‘COMMUNAL’, there is already several hundreds of #Kukis vandalising Torbung bazaar.

Google maps shows that Laisang is 3 km away from Torbung Bazaar and takes 42 mins to walk and 7 mins by car.

‼️How did the ‘Kuki Mob’ who warned the police officer, ‘This will be communal’ reached Torbung Bazaar within seconds. The police was literally given 10 seconds to catch the culprit ‼️

Worse, the act of arson was noted at 2.20 pm or at 1420 hours and 40 mins later, the vandalism at Torbung Bazaar by the Kukis started at 1500 hours or 3 pm.

‼️ Burning of tyres at the Concrete foot of the Centenary gate at 2.20 pm and attacked of Torbung at 3.00 pm and ‘SECONDS’ after the police were informed ‼️

What is going on ?

Is this only possible if the ‘burning’ of the gate and the ‘ attacked’ on Torbung bazaar which is 3 km away PRE-PLANNED ?
