The BBC commentators in this Portugal-Croatia game have spent most of the match trashing @Cristiano and saying he should come off. Then he has a brilliant goal narrowly disallowed, and scores a superb penalty. And they’re STILL saying he should do more. Pathetic.
It still blows my mind that the 3 best players of this generation all grew up idolising Ronaldo and preferring him over Messi. And cats still wanna tell me there was never a debate 😭
Roberto Carlos chooses his favorite player:
Cristiano or Raphinha?
“Cristiano.”
Cristiano or Neymar and Mbappe?
“Cristiano.”
Cristiano or Ronaldo Nazário?
“Ronaldo Nazario is my friend, but Cristiano is Cristiano.”
If you’re wondering why Messi doesn’t have this record, it’s because in 2010 World Cup he took 29 shots and scored a grand total of 0 goals.
Biggest false image the sport has ever seen.

This is Messi's 6th world cup, but he has never played against;
Brazil 🇧🇷
Spain 🇪🇦
England 🏴
Uruguay 🇺🇾
Portugal 🇵🇹
Only big teams he played are Germany, Netherlands & France but has never beaten them in 90mins.
Why are they protecting him?
Ronaldo has played all.
Lionel Messi’s run to the final:
- Cape Verde
- Canada
- Colombia
Cristiano Ronaldo’s run to the final:
- England
- Spain
- France
Pretty much sums up their careers.
🚨🎙️Roy keane : Portugal did not win because Uzbekistan is a small country but because of Cristiano Ronaldo’s performance.
🗣️ Roy Keane: “Let’s not get carried away and say Portugal won 5-0 because Uzbekistan are a smaller nation. That’s disrespectful. Portugal won because Cristiano Ronaldo turned up and produced a captain’s performance. At 41 years of age, what he did out there was incredible.
He was everywhere. He was pressing, making runs, linking the play, creating space for others and influencing every attack. That’s what top players do. People talk about age, but I’m looking at hunger, desire and quality. He doesn’t look like a player in his forties.
You can’t teach that level of football intelligence. He was involved in almost everything good Portugal did and led by example. That’s why his teammates trust him and why the fans still adore him.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, when Ronaldo performs like that, Portugal become a serious threat. Forget the excuses and the noise, that first-half display and his overall performance were absolutely outstanding. At 41 years old, that’s frightening. What a player.” 🇵🇹🐐👏

🚨 Michael Carrick on fielding a strong team vs Brighton:
🗣️ Reporter:
“There’s nothing left to play for. A lot of people were surprised by such a strong lineup.”
🗣️ Carrick:
“And that mentality right there is exactly why some clubs never become elite. What do you mean there’s nothing to play for?
This is Manchester United. Since when did we start celebrating third place like it’s a trophy? If I can score 10 against Brighton, I will. Happily.
Not because I hate them… but because we don’t relax here.
Even at 3-0, you go for the fourth. Then the fifth. Then the sixth. We’ve picked up the most points in the league since I took charge… and I don’t plan on dropping that standard. Next season, people will understand what we’re building.”
Today is a prime example of why people hate these matchroom ring events or whoever is doing it
So much talking and time in between events
How have these peeps been doing it for so long and not realized that running back to back fights is what fans want. These British accents talking about this and that bro come on….
I’ve been tuned in since 1pm and I still just here Tony belles talking about what he once did
There’s a reason mvp is on top
🚨 Paul Pogba on Cristiano Ronaldo during his darkest period :
“When the suspension news came out, my phone was full for two days… then suddenly, silence. People I thought were brothers disappeared. Agents stopped calling. Friends became busy. Football can make you feel loved… but it can also show you who’s real.”
“But one name I didn’t expect to hear from was Cristiano.”
“He didn’t call me to talk about football, training, or headlines. He asked me one thing… ‘How is your family? Are you okay mentally?’ That hit me differently.”
“A few days later he told me, ‘If you need anything anything for your family, your recovery, your life call me. Pride should never stop you from accepting help.’”
“At that moment, I wasn’t talking to Cristiano Ronaldo the superstar… I was talking to a man who understood pain, pressure, and loneliness.”
“I’ve played with champions before… but in hard times, you discover who the real ones are.”
