@Kacjusz17@McFlybowy Yes
7 matches once in 4 years. That every player dreams of playing. I remember one certain player claiming in an interview with Piers Morgan b4 the 2022 world cup that it would be a dream to win it. Very inconsistent fanbase
@BantsSzn@AsapGetit 2008 Ronaldo was the best player that year.
Who was second? Messi Torres 3rd
2009 Messi won , Ronaldo 2nd who was 3rd Xavi.
Why wouldnt the comparison start in 2008?
@BantsSzn@AsapGetit Most complete player is not about physique, its about output. Its not about who's a better athlete. Its about who has better numbers.
Who has better numbers? I don't care if you score eith your head, right or left foot. It counts as one goal.
@McFlybowy What else can Ronaldo do on the pitch currently if he is not at the end of a pass or a cross? He cannot attempt 5 take ons in a game. He can't create 5 chances in a game, He can't press. What can he do when he's not running to tap in a goal or nod a ball? What exactly can he do?
@McFlybowy CR7 himself said it earlier. Winning the world cup is the pinnacle of football. He later contradicted himself as usual. But please don't compare winning the UCL to the World Cup, they're not the same level. There are 7 champions league tournaments on Earth but only 1 WC
@McFlybowy When you check the greatest players of all time. Majority of them have a lot in common "Close control, dribbling in tight spaces, playmaking inbetween the lines" dyou know why? Those are the hardest things to do on a football pitch.
@McFlybowy Then you talk about Physicality and the rest. Messi is Physically, Mentally and Technically still very good at 39, you can't play competitive football at 39 and do the things Messi does like against Iceland 2 days ago if you are not physically fit.
@McFlybowy Uruguay has won too world cups before 1960. Do ypu think that makes it easy for them to win a 3rd one at this world cup or for Portugal to win a first one? Does the 2 world cups of Uruguay give them an edge on the pitch if they were to face Portugal in a match today? NO
@McFlybowy You talk about versatility. Ronaldo was is winger that became a striker. Thats all. Messi is a winger that became a striker, a false 9, and 8 and now a 10 for both club and country. You talk about scoring goals. Messi has won morr golden boats than Ronaldo in his career
@McFlybowy Ronaldo won two La ligas in 9 years. Then went to a Juventus that had won the League 7 times in a row in Italy claiming he would help the win the UCL. For someone you claim is mor decisive in Knockout stages, he has no KO goal for his country at the world cup after 5 tournaments
@McFlybowy Ronaldo's first Tournamebt for Portugal was Euro 2004. The reached the final. They had a Ballon do'r winner in Luis Figo as their Captain, befor that, the 2002 world cup, the reached the quarter final, which Portugal without talent are you talking about?
Qatar said it doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, you can come to the World Cup, just don’t drink alcohol at the stadium.
USA said you can’t come. Who you are or where you come from matters. We’ll decide who can and can’t participate. This isn’t a sport for everyone.
I was in Monaco few years ago.
Really nothing special.
Bunch of old dudes, trust fund babies and gold-diggers.
What people don't understand, especially in USA - Europe has GENERATIONAL WEALTH.
I am talking money that has been piling up for centuries.
France, Italy, Spain, UK, Portugal, there are literally families who owned slaves and cotton-fields, ships, docks, export-import licences.
They were the ones producing goods with no labour cost and exporting it to America.
They were the ones who were buying Paris land plots for pennies back in the days that are now worth billions.
Most of them really just fell on super-accumulated wealth over big period of time.
Few of the people will achieve this wealth for their lifetime.
Very few.
Most of the people I've met there are really born into money.
It's normal for them, as it was normal for their parents.
I never found it cool cause I just don't belog there even tho I am very well educated and raised and I made a very, very affluent life for myself.
The truth is - you will never belog there if you don't come from money.
The true, dynasty money.
This is also what US people don't understand.
European old money doesn't respect the hustle and motion, they find it silly and amusing.
You are a lower-status poor child they were thought not to take seriously.
You know the girl you meet one summer.
She thinks you are cute and loves that you are street smart, and bend the rules.
She will party with you, hang out, fuck you and have her romance, but she will marry someone from her class.
This is literally how most of the true aristocratic European circles still look at world.
I also never found old money cool other then aesthetics and arhitecture - and for that they have the best one.
In my books most of them are useless spoiled kids who just won in life by chance and they have no respect for anything cause they haven't done anything themselves most of the times.
They think we are savages and we think they are pussies.
Find a place you belong in buddy and make a world a better place then you found it.
Even if you do stumble in those echalons of society, you will always be a gaijin.
