🚨🇪🇸 Sergio Ramos Fires Back at Claims Ronaldo Can't Be the GOAT Without a World Cup🇵🇹

🗣️"If the World Cup is the only thing that defines the greatest of all time, then you're judging players by their nationality rather than their football.

Some countries simply have more talent and depth than others. Cristiano Ronaldo carried Portugal for nearly two decades and achieved things most players can only dream of.

You can't erase everything he's done because he never won the World Cup. Greatness is built over an entire career, not just seven games every four years."🎙️

[Mr. UCL 🐐 @SaujanCR7]

This dude has a point. The goat debate happens in the prime, not at the retirement age. Ronaldo at his prime was eating 17 Messis at his training.

[KALYJAY @gyaigyimii]

When it comes to Messi vs. Ronaldo conversations, you don’t need to make logical arguments. Just stick to banter or tweet your opinion and move on, because the moment you try to have a logical conversation using facts, figures, and context, most Messi fans will eventually resort to insulting you.

You might prefer Messi because he has more league titles than Ronaldo. I prefer Ronaldo because he has won league titles in England, Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.

You might prefer Messi because he has won the most Golden Boots in history. I prefer Ronaldo because he is the highest goalscorer in football history. He has also scored at least 100 goals for every club he has played for.

You might prefer Messi because he won the World Cup. I prefer Ronaldo because he won five Champions League titles with two different clubs. You need seven games to win a World Cup; you need 13 to win the Champions League. He also won it three times in a row.

You prefer the player with eight Ballon d’Or awards an award voted for by around 100 journalists worldwide. I prefer the player who won five Ballon d’Ors despite not being the media favourite.

You see? It’s all about context. It’s based on preference. You prefer a playmaker; I prefer a goalscorer who decides games.

A lot of Messi fans will insult you simply because Ronaldo is your GOAT. To save yourself the endless back and forth, either stick to bantering with them or tweet your opinion and move on. They’re not ready to see the debate from the angle some of us see it, and that’s fine.

Viva Ronaldo. 🐐

We watched Trump's dangerous and deranged speech so you don't have to. Here are the moments you need to know about:

— He openly laid groundwork to challenge the midterms. He claimed our elections were "compromised," clearly setting up the justification to tamper with results before a single vote is counted.

— He said he'll "correct vulnerabilities" in our elections. Translation: he told you exactly what he plans to interfere with.

— He contradicted himself on China in real time. He first claimed China was "working to influence" and "undermining confidence" in him, then said he was doing a "great job" with them back when he made the claim. He couldn't keep his own conspiracy straight.

— He claimed China rigged the 2020 election, this time by getting journalists to write bad stories about him, because China supposedly wanted Biden to win since Trump was "wise to them."

— He said they found "burn bags" from the Obama Administration full of supposedly incriminating material, without ever saying what was actually in them.

— He said he needs "urgent measures" to stop our elections from being "hacked," citing Maduro's rigged machines in Venezuela in 2020 as his "evidence."

— He attacked networks for not airing him live, accusing them of being "part of the conspiracy to rig elections" and suggesting they should lose their broadcast licenses.

— He announced he wants to seize voter data from states he's deemed "vulnerable" ahead of the midterms.

This was a sitting president telegraphing, step by step, how he plans to undermine the 2026 midterms with egregious lies and conspiracy theories.

I stormed on this article on Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi

I want you to read it, it's another angle entirely

I picked this part from it

"When Messi lost finals, and he lost several, badly, in ways that seemed to break him, he didn’t disappear quietly. He threw tantrums. He cried in front of the cameras.

"He threatened to quit. And the people around him came to him every time. What do you need? Come back. We’re still here

"That’s a man who grew up knowing that love doesn’t leave when you fail. He could fall apart because he had always been caught."

"Ronaldo, when he loses, goes inward. He blames himself when it goes wrong. He credits himself when it goes right.

"He expects everyone else to run the same internal economy.

And that expectation, formed in a household where a child had to be the engine of his own family’s survival, is both the source of everything he achieved and the wall he keeps running into"

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

Rodri has already won the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League. Is the World Cup next to add his name to this list? 👀

What does it tell you about the coaching, the culture and the footballing infrastructure of these two nations?

One of the greatest defensive midfielders of all time 🧠

[mehul 🏆 @mehulg10]

Add the goals he's scored in domestic cup finals, a Nations League where he was again Player of the Tournament, a Club World Cup where he was Player of the Tournament, and the list goes on. He's a winning machine.

[mehul 🏆 @mehulg10]

So you're telling me that Rodri has won a Ballon d'Or, a treble after scoring the winner in the Champions League final, 4 Premier Leagues in a row, a Euros where he was Player of the Tournament, holds the record for the longest unbeaten run in club football history and now captains his country in the World Cup final.

Ridiculous footballer. He's an all-timer.

Democratic Socialists like @aoc and @NYCMayor do not believe what Democratic Socialist countries throughout the world do. In fact it’s a stupid name for the party.

They aren’t socialists. They believe in social democracy similar to Norway, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. These countries are capitalists. They just realize that income disparity can’t keep getting greater without society helping those who can’t afford healthcare, childcare and retirement.

They should rename themselves “social democrats.”

This was my first time meeting @isaiahrmartin , and the first thing I said to him was that as black man of a certain age, I swell with pride with I see young black men like him doing their thing. I wanted to encourage him — not that he needed it — the same way that I would want people to encourage my children, all of whom are older than Isaiah by the way. Lol

Black people must always resist the competition-for-the-only-spot foolishness that the world tries to force on up. I went to Black schools all my life. Our philosophy was different: you rise, I rise, we rise together. The world said there was limited space for black faces and black voices; we simply made more. We encourages, fought for and cheered each other.

Isaiah is whip smart and good on tv. He has a bright future ahead of him. And this uncle will be cheering.

Alicent Hightower suffers arguably one of the loneliest and most tragic fates of any character in the entire history of Westeros.

Unlike her rival Rhaenyra, Alicent actually survives the Dance of the Dragons, but she is left with absolutely nothing.

By the time the war ends, Alicent has tragically outlived every single one of her children and grandchildren.

Her family tree is completely withered:
Helaena dies by suicide during the war.

Aemond dies in the Battle Above the Gods Eye against Daemon.

Daeron dies during the chaotic Second Battle of Tumbleton.

Aegon II is poisoned by his own advisors toward the very end of the conflict.

Her grandchildren; Jaehaerys, Maelor, and eventually Jaehaera, all meet brutal ends, leaving her with no direct descendants.

When Rhaenyra’s surviving son, Aegon III (Aegon the Younger), ascends the Iron Throne, the newly established regency council strips Alicent of all her political influence.

Because she is deeply distrusted and was accused of trying to manipulate the succession even after Aegon II's death, she is sentenced to life imprisonment.

She is confined entirely to her own rooms within Maegor’s Holdfast in the Red Keep, completely isolated from the rest of the realm.
