Like Tom Brady. thats a stain on his resumee too then?
so you are saying on the biggest stage. Ronaldo has outshone Messi?Has Tom Brady choked in international tournaments?
TB12 is the GOAT of all sports lolHas Tom Brady choked in international tournaments?
so you are saying on the biggest stage. Ronaldo has outshone Messi?
simple yes or no.
you are simply wrong.
At least we can all agree to thatTB12 is the greatest athlete ever IMO I don't we will ever see another player like him. ONLY MJ could rival him.
And Argentina will crash out in the groups or first knockout round ad they usually do when the WC is in EuropeMessi will be in the 2018 world cup. I have no doubts about that.
He's a super player.CR7 finished top scorer in those comps though so you gotta take that into consideration and broke the goalscoring record.
IMO its much more difficult winning in American sport than it is winning in European sport.
He's a super player.
there is no doubt about that. Worthy of praise. no doubt.
he's no Messi though.
I'm sure thats what it says in his self funded museum
We can agree to disagree. We can all agree both are generational talents who we all can appreciate .I think Messi is a better player (I am half brazilian and half portuguese, so believe me there is no bias here). His ball controlling skill is simply uncanny. Best ever, next to Ronaldinho in his prime.
The argument that Ronaldo didnt have good players around him in Madrid is not true, he always had an All- Star cast around him and yet he is behind in a heads up against Messi's Barca since his arrival in 2009. Plus, Messi has won more Ligas, Copas de Espana, UCLs than Ronaldo, even considering his time on an All-powerful Man Utd.
It is true that his has fall short on his National team (Thank god), but he has been a runner-up in all big competitions since mid 2000's plus he has an olympic gold medal. You have to keep in mind that those competitions only happen once every 4, achieving second place can't dissed out like it's nothing.
Finally, to say that he is only great because of Barca's way of playing is similar to saying that Brady is only the GOAT because of the Pats' system. A big fallacy in my view.
Nevertheless, I'm super happy that Portugal won. I was fortunate enough to be with my family in Lisbon, so we had a great party all night long. Well deserved
Ronaldo and Pepe are giants. Pepe is a great player..Ronaldo is a generational player. Ronaldo has won everywhere he's played now....he lit the world on fire in Man U and won everything, same for Real Madrid and now Portugal. Grande Ronaldo.
