Hes not the player he used to be but this is just hyperbole. His touch is still excellent and hes still a competent passer (obviously not a world class playmaker). Hes been Portugals best attacker this tournament while others like Jota and Fernandes have been crap. Hes got one of the highest...

Messi actually has more penalties (17) for his national team than Ronaldo (14).

From RedCafe: Ok let's do a detailed exercise with who they scored against. These tiers are my own view so feel free to comment on them. Historical Giants Brazil Uruguay Spain France Germany Portugal (let's pretend plz) Netherlands Argentina In this tier, Messi scored 14 goals in 32 games...

He’s played LW mostly and Mandzukic has played CF. He’s only played CF when Mandzukic has been out injured. How can someone exclusively playing CF amass 13 dribbles in the CL last 16 (the most) according to whoscored? You mention Juve in 2017 but that’s not the same team today and their team...

Barca are comfortably better than Juve when you subtract Messi and Ronaldo from both teams so it’s not really an even playing field for such H2H conclusions between the two players. I prefer Messi but It’s close between the two

This is untrue. He’s far more of a winger at Juve than he was at Madrid in recent years. He has the most assists in the team aswell.

The woman obliterated any credibility she had when she posted that hilarius voice not claiming to be Ronaldo. Honestly, it's sad. She's clearly a deeply troubled individual mentally. You can hear the comical voice notes in this thread :lol...

The dribbles I'm referring to resulted in him being fouled after getting past the player. Don't know if that still counts as a completed dribble or foul received/won.

He had a great game but in terms of Ballon D'or voting, the loss will overshadow it. His all round game in a Juve shirt has really been something to behold. Obviously, he's lost some of that dynamism from his younger years but he was still dribbling the likes of Shaw, Rashford, etc for fun at...

https://www.si.com/soccer/2018/10/02/cristiano-ronaldo-****-allegations-kathryn-mayorga-legal-case This article is pretty comprehensive on almost all of the potential outcomes of the case and their probabilities. Worth a read. EDIT: Link seems broken from this site. Their shares were on...

There’s no ‘real’ evidence he did. The papers that they have of him saying it are neither verified nor authenticated.

The only heavy corroboration it has is that questionnaire and even then we don’t know if it’s admissable in court. The settlement paid could have been for a number of reasons and can’t be used as ‘evidence’ as such. Probably best to see how this plays out. Even if he did it, he’ll probably have...

Ronaldo won’t be dropped by them unless the unthinkable happens and he is criminally convicted. Even with allegations, he’s far too valuable an asset to cut ties with just like that...well in Nike’s case anyway. EA usually only really give their stars a 3 year contract in recent times before...

Nike and EA are just trying to stay clear of the whole thing since the story picked up so much traction. Call it political correctness if you like since it gives a bad for image them particularly since a large number of their consumers (EA) are young, impressionable kids. I’m sure they’re just...

Not really. Modric was one of the best midfielders in the premier league when he left to sign for RM. Certainly top 3 at the least. He just needed a platform to showcase his talents to the world which he got at Madrid. At Spurs, it was easy for him to get underrated because he was at a smaller...

No chance. Portugal are beyond terrible. I think that game against Spain gave a false impression of their level. If you ignore then penalty, the blunder by De Gea, and the moment of brilliance from the free kick they really didn't create anything. Also, this is the World Cup. They won't have a...

A very rudimentary and simplistic way of looking at it. The penalty was a penalty but it was won by him dribbling and being too quick for Nacho. The header only looked "easy" because of his incredible movement. If you look at how he ran for the near post for that goal bringing the defender...

This was back then. Now he is more of a family man. The girl he is currently dating was a nobody when he met her so is pretty grounded and is around him all the time. His family has grown substantially since then too - having 3 more kids. Somehow, that hasn't seemed to affect his mentality for...

Ronaldo was still able to go about his business with him being shit or not.
