@timeless2022lol @Pasqualll @centregoals Not if a teammate, it's contingent on intent.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@Oluwatobz24 @Pasqualll @centregoals It does if it's the teammate of the goalscorer.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@FungaiJay @Pasqualll @centregoals Teammate of the scorer - "often"...it's contingent upon how egregious the handball is. Mbuemo decision was criticised for gaining an unfair advantage by "cradling" the ball with his arm/thigh. Trossard didn't gain an unfair advantage.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@PrimeCRonaldo @ChampionsLeague Part of the reason they were going behind often might have been him - they went from 2nd to 6th

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@ronaldowarrior They scored more the season before and season after. Man City score slightly more when Haaland is absent - you have to factor opportunity cost. I have no problem saying PSG signing Messi (while they won the league after 2nd the season prior) didn't improve their spine in the CL.

@LunaaRayye @Lemonbriz It's a fake quote.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@monge_vincent @Quesoqonse @ExposingMessi Your whole conspiracy is based on Argentina getting as many knockout pens as Portugal did in 1966, but Ronaldo being awarded 16 pens in one Serie A season or 3 pens in 4 EURO 2020 games does not at all concern you?

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@monge_vincent @Quesoqonse @ExposingMessi You say the 2022 was rigged - but ignore the obvious handball Australia escaped, Ecuador vs Netherlands, Saudi Arabia allowed to injure Di Maria and get 3 VAR offsides (if it's rigged, why VAR?), France vs Morocco + 2 pens, VVD escaping clear yellow for pushing Messi...

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@monge_vincent @Quesoqonse @ExposingMessi "I accept evidence when it aligns with my conspiracy theory, not when it disconfirms it"

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@monge_vincent @Quesoqonse @ExposingMessi You do realise this is literally text-book confirmation bias?

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@ExposingMessi Also do Barcelona/Madrid Champions League, before and after Messi/Ronaldo (since Ronaldo loves to bring up Argentina's 2 World Cups before Messi)

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@ExposingMessi Amazing how it doesn't bother Ronaldo fans that he was awarded 16 pens in one season, nor that Messi has the same job as Ozil/Kroos and Lewandowski/2017-CR7 combined (Ronaldo has taken 1000 more shots-from-boot than Messi but 150 fewer such goals; 1/2 the dribbles, passes)...

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@ExposingMessi Juventus won 7 consecutive league titles before Ronaldo arrived; they radically overhauled their wage strucuture (increased by 70%) to accomodate him and it destroyed them - they scored fewer goals after he arrived; PSG didn't win the title the season before Messi arrived.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@ExposingMessi I knew someone whose daughter worked in Team Operations (she was a logistics co-ordinator - travel, hotels) for Man Utd. She said that she saw the team in a hotel lobby with a giant screen showing highlights of Messi, and that Ronaldo's behaviour and diva-antics were hilarious.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@honest_pepsi You seem to be suggesting that doing nothing and losing 4-0 is better than being the best offensive player on the pitch and losing 4-3? Also, Ronaldo in WC knockouts? Losing to GREECE IN PORTUGAL?! Miss 2 pens to secure La Liga titles? You can cherry-pick anything.

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@honest_pepsi And we're including 3-0 defeats now? Ronaldo lost to Barcelona by 3+ goals in three matches (3-0, 4-0, 5-0); Netherlands 3-0, Middlesbrough 4-1 pre-oil Man City 4-1, Atletico 4-0, Dortmund 4-1, Juventus 3-0 in normal-time (since you included PSG 4-0)...

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@honest_pepsi ...and losing to Bayern's a little different than being outplayed by Brighton, Brentford, and Watford...

[therealbooksafe @therealbooksafe]

@honest_pepsi The Al-Nassr game was a friendly and Messi came on as a sub in the 83rd minute (already 6-0), Ronaldo lost 5-0 to Celta Vigo by this logic even though both were subbed, 6-2 to Brazil (didn't score), 4-0 to Germany, Messi didn't play half of Bayern 7-0 AGGREGATE...
