Ronaldo is hounded for things others are praised for, especially Messi.

Take the nickname “Penaldo.” When you hear it, you’d think Ronaldo built his entire career on penalties.

The irony is that Ronaldo did not start out as an elite penalty taker. Early in his career, penalties were a weakness. He missed important penalties, including one in the 2008 Champions League final shootout against Chelsea. Back then, he wasn’t called “Penaldo.” He was mocked and criticised.

What happened next is what Ronaldo has done throughout his career: he identified a weakness and worked relentlessly until it became a strength. He went from being an inconsistent penalty taker to one of the greatest the game has ever seen.

Yet instead of being praised for improving a flaw in his game, critics began using “Penaldo” to diminish his achievements.

What’s even more ironic is that Messi holds the record for the most penalties scored in World Cup history, Champions League history, and La Liga history. Yet the “Penaldo” label is reserved almost exclusively for Ronaldo.

As Ronaldo’s goalscoring numbers became impossible to ignore, football discourse suddenly became obsessed with “non-penalty goals.” It felt as though the conversation kept changing whenever Ronaldo excelled. First goals were counted. Then the type of goals started being counted.

Ronaldo was mocked when he missed penalties. Mocked when he took penalties. And mocked when he became one of the greatest penalty takers in football history.

For many fans, that is why the standards have never felt the same. Ronaldo’s story is one of turning weaknesses into strengths, only to see those strengths used against him in the debate over greatness.

This Portugal team is extremely poor. It will take a miracle for them to win this World Cup. After such an incredible career, it feels like Cristiano Ronaldo has been unlucky to end up with a group of players who simply do not match his ambition and mentality.

It’s a real pity.

[Buchi Laba @Buchi_Laba]

Instead of the Portuguese players to stand behind Cristiano Ronaldo and work for him.. instead they compete against him. They clearly have no respect for him.. it’s clear in the countenance of senior players like The Assistor and the dwarf. They want to be the bosses so much. Ronaldo is so unlucky to be in the mix of players that think they’re so big in the head. Maybe it’s the culture set in the team because It’s very clear in the way they play and Behave.

Compare to Messi and the Argentine squad. They fight for Messi. They see him as Lord because he has earned it and it’s clear with the way they talk, walk, train and play.

At the end of the day, No player can do it alone.
It takes a Village. It’s just extremely sad to watch to see Cristiano Ronaldo not getting the proper support he has earned from some of the Portuguese players.

The Portuguese Team - The GOAT mixed with chickens.

I agree with you; this is mostly true as a general rule, but it’s a bit more nuanced. Performing a service while on a temporary visa doesn't create a blanket tax obligation in every single case. 1

Please, this does not constitute tax advice or an encouragement to violate immigration rules!

Selah!!

Overall, if, for instance, you are at a conference in the US on a temporary visit (staying for 10, 20, but not more than 90), your aggregate compensation for work done there is less than $3k, and you work for a foreign entity not engaged in USTB, you won’t be taxed on the income.

Good idea—however, MB;BS in Nigeria is an undergraduate degree program, and you can’t ‘realistically’ earn two undergraduate degrees from a single undergraduate program. In the countries you’re referring to, Medicine is a graduate/professional degree program, not an undergraduate

[FitMedic @FEMMY466]

Our MBBS should come with a BSc in any of the basic medical science courses. We should be graduating after 6-10yrs with 2 degrees.
Our mates abroad do Premed, then med school so they finish with two degrees and are automatically ahead of us.
We spend longer and only get one.

Months later, in August, the scholarship award list came out for the Faculty of Law; Lightman and I were the only two in our own class who won, out of those who took the exam. We were paid for three sessions.
₦450k total — ₦150k per session, paid from 2017 to 2019.

['Okachi @ajabaokachi]

In 2017, when I was in 300L, my friend Lightman and I applied for the Federal Government Scholarship Award, which had just resumed after being suspended since 2013. It was my last real shot at winning an undergrad scholarship after missing Chevron and Total in 100L & 200L. 👇

[Michael Taiwo @AskMichaelTaiwo]

Tell us a crazy but true story.

['Okachi @ajabaokachi]

The next day, we went to class. I met my friend, Abubakar, who tried to reach me the previous day but couldn't. I told him the whole story.
He said, “You should have called me for money. I hope you win — at least for the struggle.”
