@@zachmahomes3517 If Messi cant win this one, maybe. Long shot he tries again, but there is a 1% chance. If he wins, he goes to Miami at the end of this season.
@@zachmahomes3517 Because he wouldnt have anything else to achieve in football. We wants to relax, enjoy life and family. We hace this selfish thing that want to see our favorite players play forever, imagine being Messi every day of your life, expected tobe the best on the pitch every time, not being able to have a normal life, go for a walk, eat three cheeseburgers if you want to do so. Your mental health says enough.
They trash messi just as much.. should of seen how they reacted when saudi arabia beat argentina… they just trash everyone here… but of course Penaldo fans dont see facts and logic
So you’re telling me if Messi had the type of World Cup performance he’s had You won’t call him finished Messi had 11 goals and 14 assists last season and everyone was calling him done …espn posted a video titled should Messi retire !!! Ronaldo has 4 goals(2 penalties ) half way into the season But apparently it’s simply hating Hypocrisy to the max
@@thedustthatsettlesj9231 - That’s because they never were. But once he doesn’t project to any future plan then it’s time to go. Will he be better for the Euros in two years? I doubt it. World Cup In four years? Be serious. So it’s time to move on and build on what you have with guys at the proper age. That’s just how it is.
ROFL I laughed so hard at that they act like the ref didn't give a RED card to help Portugal secure a goal in the last minutes lol.. they act like Portugal had so many chances or disallowed goals or watever.. THEY DID NOTHING.. actually nothing loool.
Portugal is a completely irrelevant and joke of a footballing nation, associating themselves with Argentina is the closest they'll ever get to winning the WC.
I think the issues is before if ur from a nation that’s in the quarter finals are beyond ur not allowed to officiate a game not sure if it changed so by the rules of referees this Argentina refs shouldn’t have officiate the game
From early on this season the sudden drop in terms of performance on the pitch by Ronaldo is quite surprising...his first touch is heavy..his strike of the ball is not good as before..his reaction time is slower except the linkup play and acceleration is still there..I expect he will lose all of this gradually in time considering his age..but to think that he lose all of this just in a span of few months is quite shocking..I think there's no way he can do anything about it now..age is finally catching up with him...anyways his name already written in the football history...legend and icon..one of the greats for sure..tq Ronaldo for all these years...
@@Dezeberbro I like Ronaldo because he always feeds on negativity and it's always had been translate in his games before..mentally he want to but the body says no..that is what making me sad about his situation..
@@hehehehhaww he's a different kind of athlete..you should know this..even with this modern age science and technology..not all players have longevity as he does..you need to be mentally strong plus a healthy fit body to do this..he already pushing boundaries far from the expectations in terms of longevity..that's why I said age is finally catch up with him...
If it's about the money obviously he'll go to the Saudi clubs offering him the biggest paychecks. If it's about wanting to compete in European football at the top level he'll have a hard time finding a top club that'll bench their younger, more promising strikers for someone who's on the wrong side of 35 and turned sub for not only his PL club, but also his National Team. If it's about the attention (let's be honest, it is) he'll go to MLS where he'll be given all the attention he wants and then some.
The best thing Ronaldo can do is lower his wages and sign for a portugese club that competes in UCL like Sporting, Porto or Benfica. He should play 1 season for them and then retire. He already have so much money, so I don’t think he should run after money. He have so many businesses running.
@@thedon897 I'm just wondering here how many millions he has in his bank account and how much money you have in your bank account 🤔 I know CR7 is not a sore loser but millions of haters are sore losers in everything in life
A Lion walks alone, now sheeps and hyenas there's your answer, now he has almost a billion in his bank account because of hard work I wonder if your work has paid you a million?? Before you judge others judge yourself just my humble POV
Ronaldo fans:- if you don’t play him means you hating Ronaldo fans again:- am a messi fan but media hating on ronaldo Ronaldo fans again:- ronaldo is the goat because he’s rich! Ronaldo fans again :- he isn’t playing well because the manager hates him Ronaldo fans again:- he carried Portugal when Portugal wins Conclusion:- ronaldo fans should be banned from football Factos
I have been following world cup football since 1998 and club football since 2007. I have learnt that its always easy to be a hater than a fan. The more I grow up, the more I realize the world needs more fans than haters to live peacefully and to achieve peace of mind. We should become good example to the next generations and teach them to respect others.
Because of Ronaldo's crying, he feels that he will not participate in the World Cup again and will not win the title. He feels that Leo Messi is close to winning the World Cup.
@@datboidiego9164 I beg to differ.. Its quite clear that he has always been jealous of Messi.. He stated in interview as well that if Messi wins 2019 Ballon d’Or he will retire and replied Factos in insta on a post which was mocking Messi
@@datboidiego9164 shut up and stop being a Ronaldo fanboy, he cares deeply about Messi being the best. He moved to Madrid to compete with him and have you seen his face when Messi wins the balon d'or!? Why do you think Ronaldo was begging champions league clubs to take him in the summer? Because he knows that Messi isnt far behind him and will take over his record. Youre an idiot if you think he doesnt care lol he is obssesed. Ronaldo fangirls are ALWAYS in denial and lying to theirselves 😂
@@learnerbetter9872 Thought it was Ronaldo haters channel lol. Messi and other Argentina players acting like idiots after the Holland game and not one video talking about that on the channel.
Some of you people need to learn what losing a child does to you. These past six months have been the hardest of His life. You can never tell me that the guy who scored a hattrick against Spurs back in April , can’t kick a ball now. The media and clubs took advantage of him in his grief . Have some shame .
Sporting keeps being mentioned but that would not be ideal for them given the player we are talking about. He is going to expect to start every game. This just blocks the path for young players. Sporting are club (owing the limited funds in the league) that depend on buying on a cheap or developing through their academy young players to be then sold to bigger teams.
You know what else is over? This beta, tabloid, cancel hungry, blood thirsty, public execution bs. Shame on the media and the fair weather and ungrateful fans that definitely contributed to a sour ending and demise. Energy is real. That’s why teams win at home. Wake up and mind what and how direct your energy.
If u can't make the difference anymore iys better to leave..... Messi still playin...bcz he always makes the difference for Argentina... Once he can't make an impact he will also leave.....
@@DiogoJCL no, it's just embarrassing seeing people claim Ronaldo is still world class or his family continuing to call him "the best player in the world"
@@troyeakb6314 ronaldo is 37 this year. He will be 38. It’s not like he isn’t performing because of bad luck like messi where he had around 15 shots on post last season. Ronaldo is just performing very badly. Missing chances after chances.
@@canadianmistake2640 No he is just showing everyone how stupid people are for feeling very sad for arrogant billionaires like Ronaldo or most pro footballers these days which doesn't even know of their existance while most of these people have nothing like that some of them are probably even very poor so they need to feel very sad for themselves only smartass.
Next is getting his coaching badge. If he couldn’t do it as a player, he should try to do it as a coach for Portugal. He needs to cut out the sycophants around him and reassess his choices. It’s ok to take a break now. The pressure is off. Hopefully the press will also lay off him and let him take his next steps.
Ronaldo will always be remembered as the worst WC playing great of all time. I don't remember watching another top 10 player be a complete non factor at every WC they've played
@@marksmanissa2148 Ronaldo have some good performances in the group stage, but he has never been able to perform well on an individual level in knockout stages in WC. But still we should respect CR7. He has written his name in the history books and is one of the greatest players of all time. Only haters will not admit it. Every true football fan will respect Ronaldo.
@@natoslayer2907 Yes but that type of clubs require their striker to mainly defend in his own half then in a split of a second when getting the ball down there making a fast 80+ meters run all the way to the opponents box concistantly so at 38 years of age soon good luck to Ronaldo with that.
@@natoslayer2907 It's BS because he wasn't ever that good at pressing in the first place and the pressing under both Zidane and Solskjaer wasn't that intense because it was rather box oriented instead of chasing the ball. The tendinitis is just an excuse since he does make those leg wasting high intensity actions when chasing goals and didn't need to make them defensively because it wasn't really part of the style of play.
The irony of old man Giroud, who is only one year younger than Ronaldo, having a much better World Cup than him. Before the tournament started we expected Ronaldo to lead Portugal's attack and Giroud to sit on the bench and play second fiddle to Benzema. Why didn't he just shut up and accept his place on the bench patiently and then let his boots do the talking on the field when he gets his chance instead of going whining in front a snarky TV personality.
Ronaldo played on the bench and didn’t complain because it’s his country ! Portugal is different from Man UTD .. Ten Hag looses regardless of Ronaldo starting or not !
Giroud is performing better only because of MBAPPE & you take Mbappe from that french team Giroud will be just any other player who is basically not good enough. Without Mbappe French team is nothing just like taking Zidane out of the earlier French team.
So you’re telling me if Messi had the type of World Cup performance he’s had You won’t call him finished Messi had 11 goals and 14 assists last season and everyone was calling him done …espn posted a video titled should Messi retire !!! Ronaldo has 4 goals(2 penalties ) half way into the season But apparently it’s simply hating Hypocrisy to the max
Wow.. ESPN still talking about Ronaldo.. the match is done, he is out of the WC, he already left Qatar.. be wary of those that enjoy the misfortune of others..
I agree with you as a Messi fan. That was really childish from Messi and I did not expect that from him. It was a shameful behavior from a such big player. But Messi is protected by the media.
I’m a Messi 🐐 fan through and through BUT I do not like what’s going on with Ronaldo. The man is Legend! We must never forget that ❤ IF Argentina win the World Cup I hope that Messi dedicates it to his friend Ronaldo
What's "going on with Ronaldo" that is so sad? That he isn't as good as he was before and that clubs don't want to pay him €500.000 a week anymore? Yeah.. super sad 😭 What is really going on is that he should have faced it long ago, he ain't the top player he was anymore. He should retire, like everybody else does.
@@Dougie- what’s going on with Ronaldo? Have you not been paying attention? NO ONE is ever as good as they were before. Ronaldo deserves ALL the credit , recognition and respect for ALL of his achievements in football. What’s super sad is when folks who haven’t done anything at the least similar zone in on “he’s not as good as he was” and forget about how great he was
Y’all keeps throwing shade at him as if he hasn’t done well enough. He deserves more respect for his immense hardwork and commitment toward his clubs and country! Shame on y’all for your critics!!
he is leaving with most goals international, 5 UCLs, MVP 1 year and golden boot another and all time season scorer for Juventus. How's that farmers League project going for Messi? It's hard to bribe a spanish ref when you play for a french team isn't it ? lol
Ronaldo will not retire from football, he wants to participate in the next edition of the 2026 World Cup. At that time, Ronaldo will be 41 years old.😂😂
@@enrk2195stfu you ronaldo fan boys never look at any of messi games and stats other than goals and choose to run your mouth lol 🤣 😂 I look at both of them play week in week out there for I can tell you in full confidence ronaldo is one of the craziest players we will ever see play in a Long time but his time is up
He should play for the MLS now as he is currently at the MLS level.. Not too long ago, he claimed he still elite, but that's just pure delusion.. Only his fans believe such nonsense.. he already has a contract with a Saudi team, I believe.
If he agrees to less money, for example 10 instead of 30millions, he can easily get signed by a top club: a striker that can guarantee you 15-20goals is not easy to find....but then again if he has a 250million offer from Al Nassr, that would be an incredibly hard pay cut to agree to; his desire to play at the top level will determine that choice.
In January clubs were not ready to pay 80k per week when united were ready to pay the rest. AND for him to score 20 goals the team goals will reduce significantly.
So you’re telling me if Messi had the type of World Cup performance he’s had You won’t call him finished Messi had 11 goals and 14 assists last season and everyone was calling him done …espn posted a video titled should Messi retire !!! Ronaldo has 4 goals(2 penalties ) half way into the season But apparently it’s simply hating Hypocrisy to the max They’re a sports channel Ronaldo is an all time great who under performed They are not hating They are doing their job !
Espn saying he doesn't have many options lol. What a joke!! If ronaldo starter against morraco and they lost the media would have blamed Santos and ronaldo for the loss. You people are sick
He has to face reality yeah that HE S 1 OF THE BEST PLAYER OF HISTORY AND ONE OF THE RICHEST ATHLETE on the planet ow poor man how is he gonna face it ? 😢 😢🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
santos needs to go too .... midfield passing is not quick. they are never proactive in attack mostly in big tournaments like euro, world cup against toughest opponents. and that goal keeper is really poor to hand over that goal to morocco
ESPN FC and their biasness is unparalleled. However the whole world now knows it. It's just that they want to increase their reach by defaming one of the 🐐s and taking another's in mouth. Worst ever football analysis platform
These Ronaldo fanboys know nothing about football. Most of them are just celebrity lovers. They call him "goat" because he got good looks or more Instagram followers. 😀
He should go to Newcastle. Technically also a middle eastern controlled club, but with great potentials and a good shout to play in the cl next year. Newcastle would also want a true global star to propel them into the realms of the big boys like city and utd. The shirt selling and marketing deals alone would make it worth.
@@ruddock7 That is true, but cr7 remains one of the biggest names in football, and it's not like callum Wilson and isak can keep themselves out.of the treatment room for more than 2 days.
Can’t believe , lot of things happened in a year for you CR7. Media tried all your life to kill you and finally they got their chance but at 37 years. With all hate and comparisons you got all your life and never got due credit to what you achieved hailing from a country like Portugal , you are an inspiration to a generation on how you carried yourself and achieved so much great was with all negativity around.
Ok coach bench cristiano and never let him play 90mins cos he feels cr7 might not make a difference so what about the so call young guys bruno,felix,daliot,they have 90mins gameplay did they make a difference?when cr7 was their age he scored more goals and was much dangerous all rounder then these kids so called young players
Lmao. You really comparing them to Ronaldo. Let's compare all great players to non great players. Absolutely ridiculous comment. Ronaldo is finished at 38. That's the problem
he is not that player anymore smh. there is a lot of players in your big clubs that still doesn't have the potential like ronaldo talk about that.messi did not play well last season but came back this season.ronaldo is not playing well at the moment and you put him strait to the ground after all he has been through this year.
I think its silly to think the sporting lisbon could bench any of three hardworking and pacey players in pedro goncalves,marcus edwards and trincao for a walking piece of wood not even a sunday league coach would do that
What's with all the comments about CR7 losing all his skills this season. Anyone who played at any level will tell you missing preseason will do way more than this!! He is getting older but the claims are beyond ridiculous and he still have much more to give if he wants
It started at RM, then his move to Juve. Then he tried city who said no and went to utd. Then he lost his head with his attitude. And continued to do that with Portugal
There’s no way Ronaldo is retiring when Portugal’a next two games are against Lichtenstein and Luxembourg at home. He’s not leaving 4 or 5 goals against the part time carpenters off his “record”, literally never registered a goal or an assist in the World Cup knockout round when it mattered , but if you need a man to score some tapins and penalties against Gibraltar, Lithuania, Andorra, Faroe Islands, Cyprus, Scotland, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Malta in meaningless qualifiers then this is your man.
If Ronaldo went to Saud Arabia at the age of 38 to earn 200m a season, would that be an embarrassment ? You guys on this program, where were you playing a 38 year and how much were you earning? Every great player ends his career in small places. Ronaldinho ended football playing on village team earning almost nothing.
It shows Santos should have shown more respect towards Ronaldo, he should have started every game. He is the captain and always a threat in the box. Argentina don’t treat Messi like this, Croatia don’t treat Modric like this and they are both in the semi finals. Whether you like it or not Ronaldo should be shown more respect for what he’s done for Portugal and I’m Portuguese 👍
@@filipemarques7560 respect is to earn. Ronaldo disrespects santos when he was substituted against korea Just because roanldo is so called goat does not mean he no need respect other. This is very rude.
They just didn’t listen to the Utd fans who have been watching him all season so far when he’s played. We were told he’s still at the “top” and deserves to play based on who he is and what he’s done and not how he’s currently performing…..I knew that he’d have a poor World Cup it’s not hard to see he’s a complete shadow of who he was only last season. It’s a false fallacy to think someone whos been at that level will continue forever and not at some point start to dwindle. Funny how much stick I got when saying this few weeks ago. Seems the world is finally seeing it too. Feels bitter sweet tho
what situation? lol they just being stupid by benching him and loosing games without him. thats all the story. Manchester after winning 1 game without Ronaldo. We so good without Ronaldo. Then gets trashed by city with 6 goals and by liverpool with 4 goals. his young teamates disrespecting him.. How can you build a good team and be in top form when you see your team disrespecting you? poor kids in manchester squad did not won a champions league in their life lol. Even in football manager, i need to make sure team is united and in top form to win games. Then what? World cup where Ronaldo and portugal needed to prove they aare the best. Then media jumps at Ronaldo and try to make a hate between him and his teamates. Then again same as manchester, they won 1 game without Ronaldo, media all jump at ronaldo and say they dont need him anymore that they better without him. Then what? Ronaldo prepared all his life for this moment and he gets benched. where was his morale? The manager who shusshed the media by sayng dont pick on ronaldo anymore, he doesnt deserve this. And yet, he benches him again. What does his teamate said in the interview before the game? we dont have to pass to Ronaldo. Ofc you do stupid, hes the striker and the one carrying Portugal to so many finals. And when he loses by being benched in 2 games, its still his fault? lol THE REALITY is people are just underestimating Ronaldo ability at his age even that he can play better than any portuguese player. And when they lose when they not play him at his full potential, they blame him again for not scoring. To score and play at the best of your ability and to win games, if you know what football is ofc, (many of you not even lifted a trophy in your life and comment hate on ronaldo) means to be mentaly and phisicaly at your best, which means to know your team and manager and players and staff all count on you and believe in you. But when you dont feel that, when you feel let down by your team, which instead of going to celebrate to fans with you when you tell them too as their captain, they ignore you... When the manager bench you for one game, sure its fine maybe making you rest a bit, even that you know you are in shape and that you can still play good, and score goals. But when he benches you for 2 games, after he defended you in the press conference and take your side, and your teamate says that he doesnt have to pass to you in games, makes you morally desapointed and upset. thats not how you win games, making fun of your hero, your best player and then expecting to give his best on the pitch. Betrayed by his national team, by his club, by the press, how can he feel? and then its idiots who say poor poor benchaldo, who doesnt understand what he goes through, his emotions... before and after the game. Shame on you all. Ronaldo did not lose Yesterday, Portugal did.
Yeah they are 11 points behind Arsenal after 14 games and apparently that means ETH is a genius for benching Ronaldo. Portugal are eliminated BY MOROCCO (seriously, Morocco) because Santos benched Ronaldo and apparently that's a great move too .... even though they are ELIMINATED. How STUPID could you be to listen to a media HATE CAMPAIGN that was designed to ruin Ronaldo's World Cup? Global papers shouting to bench Ronaldo for no actual reason other than to get Portugal eliminated and the result is they're eliminated. Santos must be on drugs.
@@tr1p1ea the problem was, when Morocco won against Spain, i seen a motivated morroco team that wanted to win while Spain seemed not caring. After they won all the Arab world supported Morocco, and that gave Morocco players motivation and a extra boost to play good against Portugal too. I knew they are a team not to be underestimated when they know all the Arab and Africa nations are behind them. And when it's about motivation and determination to win, the players ratings doesnt matter anymore they can play equally almost with top players. If Santos will have played Ronaldo, the Morocco players will had to use 2 or 3 players to mark him and that meant more opportunities for the other strikers that were left unmarked. Ronaldo with his experience even if he will not score, he could had made an assist. The manager underestimated Morocco and left Ronaldo on the bench... The problem was, that before half time Morocco scored. And then they played all defence. Of course Ronaldo find difficult to score when there was 10 players in defence. If Ronaldo played before, they will not had the opportunity to play in defence all game and Ronaldo could have scored. But what's more shocking to me is that, okay you leave Ronaldo on the bench I get that, but leave your most experienced goalkeeper on the bench too? The goalkeeper who defended with his life in Euro 2016 winning it. And you leave as goalkeeper a bufon who almost received a goal in the group stage by a mistake, and now received a goal again by a mistake? What a joke. You do NOT leave Ronaldo on the bench In his last World Cup!! You just dont. Just stupid.
@@samplingmastersxlr8660 bruh stop commenting if you are a Messi fans. No one marks Messi with 2 or 3 players. More like they are paid to let him score.
If Benchnaldo started score would be 27-0 Morocco . since he was on the bench he didnt lose the ball 99 times in a row and assist oppositions. Penaldo fans think standing in penalty spot doing nothing for 90 minutes is a "SKILL"
So you’re telling me if Messi had the type of World Cup performance he’s had You won’t call him finished Messi had 11 goals and 14 assists last season and everyone was calling him done …espn posted a video titled should Messi retire !!! Ronaldo has 4 goals(2 penalties ) half way into the season But apparently it’s simply hating The level Hypocrisy is alarming
Shame on ESPN FC, you guys sometimes talk like you were never players yourselves. It’s shameful how much you disrespect any player and such a player in the regard as Ronaldo. Shame on you guys. Shame. I remember Ale Moreno mocking Ronaldo about that bruno goal that may or may not have clipped Ronaldo’s hair. Whether it was his goal or not, did Ronaldo tell you he claimed it as his? Ale mocked him soo badly but who is Ale Moreno? You basically didn’t do anything in your career yet you mock such a great player? Shame on you guys once again. Learn to appreciate more than put down!
