๐จ๐ฃ๏ธPOV: One of the worst and irritating arguments Ronaldo fans make is that Cristiano Ronaldo never had a squad as strong as Lionel Messi's, and that Messi has always been surrounded by a better national team.
Let's look at how their World Cup journeys actually began.
In 2006, when Messi made his FIFA World Cup debut for Argentina, the squad had only one UEFA Champions League winner Roberto Ayala, whose only Champions League title came in the 1994โ95 season.
In contrast, when Ronaldo made his World Cup debut for Portugal in 2006, the Portuguese squad featured nine UEFA Champions League winners and one Ballon d'Or winner. Ronaldo began his World Cup career with Portugal's golden generation, and that team reached the semi-finals.
Now imagine if Ronaldo had started his international career with a squad as inexperienced as Argentina's in 2006. What do you think his record would have looked like?
Yet some Ronaldo fans still claim that Messi has always had the stronger team. I've rarely seen a fanbase spread so much misinformation.
You've been hearing about the so-called "Olodo Uprising".
Here's a wider angle on this phenomenon to help you contextualise what you are actually witnessing, why it is happening and who is ultimately behind it (hint: it's not Peller - he's just a symptom!)
The olodos are fighting back.
Remind them that this bastard lined up MSc graduates for a humiliation ritual, for a nonexistent job.
His sole intention was to portray education as a venture for the foolish - that him in all of his foolishness can buy them out.

Major cheat code for life: Assume good things are still ahead. You are not behind. You are not too late. You are not disqualified by your past. One new season can change the entire story. Keep showing up with belief. The best chapters are often written after the hardest ones.
