Ronaldo has completely failed Portugal, his fans in Portugal and across the world, and has ruined his legacy. I don't think a single Ronaldo fan can call him the goat in good faith after today. He'll still be one of the greats, but nothing compared to Messi, Maradona, and Pele as others in the thread have stated. As someone who only watches football for USMNT and Ronaldo, it's a hard pill for me to swallow, but it's the damn truth. Ultimately, his performance is a damn shame, an absolute failure, and a mockery of the sport.

When he left Madrid he should have gone back to United for a few seasons, maybe done one more at Sporting Lisbon and then retired after the 2022 World Cup. The last few years of his career has really harmed his legacy quite badly. Surely most Portuguese fans are pissed with him?

He was never part of that conversation, and the fact that his retarded fans thought he belonged among the true all time greats is a testament to people's general ignorance of the game and it's history, the power of Real VARdrid's PR machine, and the detrimental effect of social media in football discourse.

Absolutely dreadful to watch. It's funny because anyone not braindead told you this was coming since he left United, and was only further confirmed during 22 WC, yet there's always some sheep posting and genuinely believing otherwise.

>>155427889
If this is bait then it's decent, got me to reply, but he was never even in consideration for the GOAT debate. Even if Messi didn't exist, which is already a huge assumption, nothing in his skill as a player or his achievements put him in the same league Pelé or Maradona. He would've been considered the best by a handful of zoomers and Manure Indian costumers for like a decade tops, and then everyone would be back the Pelé vs Maradona debate.

LMAO. And whether you like it or not, you can only be as good or better than the competition you have in front of you. Pelé was better than every other footballer in his time, while Penaldo could never leave the shadow of a 5'7" Argie. Plus, the conditions Pelé played in were much harsher than anything modern players have to adapt to nowadays between torn up pitches, zero protection against literal murder attempts by defenders, or a ball about as aerodynamic and light as a rock.

He didnt have to. He over performed them through sheer athleticism but with a non african iq to get the most out of it.
While the most popular tournament is clearly the wc, the real challenge is the champion league, nothing else. The rest including the wc is meme shit, both individually and team wise. And he proved himself there.
Remember before the wc people were coping messi finally got his international triumph with a copa america where you play against literally shit + brazil.
Real football is measured in champion leagues. Now, messi is a genius, sure, another kind of genius and currently the best player in the world, but prime I cant seriously say that messi was better than Ronaldo.

Then by definition, he wasn't better.

>While the most popular tournament is clearly the wc, the real challenge is the champion league, nothing else. The rest including the wc is meme shit, both individually and team wise. And he proved himself there.
If the "real challange" was the UCL, then surely even if he didn't win it, CP7 should've had individual performances on par if not better than Messi, right? (I'm not including people like Maradona or Pelé here because they barely or didn't play any UCL football), oh wait, he was invisible in practically all the Euros and WC ties outside the group stage he ever play. Don't be retarded, there's a HUGE difference between scoring the most goals for a well oiled machine like Real Madrid at club level, and having the kind of influence and performance to elevate the level of a whole team the way people like Messi, Maradona, Pelé or Cruyff could.

>Now, messi is a genius, sure, another kind of genius and currently the best player in the world
That being? Because if you say Mbappé or Dembele, those brainlet Ngubus are pace merchants and even more limited than Penaldo, let alone as good as the people I mentioned before.

>but prime I cant seriously say that messi was better than Ronaldo.
Because you're a dullard who doesn't understand football. Messi has a better goal to game ratio in UCL, more MVPs in UCL, more golden boots, and more goals for European clubs than Penaldo while playing fewer games, and that's only goal scoring. If I start mentioning playmaking, assisting etc on top, there's just no comparison.

>>
>>155433681
No, I'm posting in like three different threads while listening to a conference. The mistakes are fine because this is a silly internet debate. Anyways, people (and by that I mean CP fans) shat on Fabio Capello for voicing his opinion on the GOAT debate and coming across as dismissive of CR, but he was spot on. The difference between a GOAT contender and a player who can do a bit of everything or is a high volume scorer is that extra bit of imagination. There's times when defenses are too closed up and midfielders aren't able to get CR the ball in an ideal position, and that's where Messi, Maradona or Pelé are/were able to leverage an advantage that CR can't and never could. It's more noticeable on international football precisely because there isn't as much room for coaches to plan tactical solutions, and great players need to improvise more often.

The reality is Ronaldo and Messi should have retired 3 years ago. They can produce moments of magic, but they're all but passengers in elite football. You'll see Portugal improve when this version of Ronaldo is gone. I'm not no sure about Argentina, do they really have the talent coming through, is this the end of an era, they'll find out.

The scale of his club and euro achievement surpass those except Messi’s, but especially now the gap Messi has ahead of him is clear. Ronaldo not winning in 2018 when he still very able was the end for him. Messi was always going to have more longevity (being short reduces the working fatigue).

Remember his phantom goal in Qatar? That was sad af. I love him, but he is nuts. He faded in 2022. Messi and other older players like Modric can still get things done. Even Pirlo old was still decent. Ronaldo declined pretty fast which is why he was fighting with Ten Hag. I think he spends too much time in gym too and it enough body fat. They initially awarded him this goal then gave it back to Bruno Fernandes. Honestly, Pepe played better than Ronaldo at an old age.
>>
Also why has he faded so much more than other players?

Of all time?
Fuck no, there are actual footballing monsters in the top 10.

The only way he'd be top 10 is if he kept on having seasons like in 2008. That's the last time he was actually moving around and playing joga bonito.

If he could move like that WHILE dropping 40 goals every season then you'd have an argument. Maybe.

But you're not gonna bullshit this guy into a top 10 debate while playera like Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Puskás existed.

His level is with the other legendary poachers like Gerd Müller, Josef Bican or Marco van Basten.

If anyone claims the top 3 of all time isn't a mix of Messi, Pele and Maradona, I automatically assume they're bullshitting
>>
>>155440747
>Pele
Cmon, man. Literal plumbers. It's one thing to put the era of the players in context for these GOAT debates. But there are worlds of differences in the world of Pele vs Maradona.
>>
I've said this years ago, the longer he plays the bigger the gap will be. The last image is the one it stays, if Messi retired today he would retire as the hat-trick hero in a world cup game, if Penaldo did the same he would do it as a joke for the past 4 years
While Messi is clearly on another level Penaldo made it a real discussion for a number of years, now people are already re-writing history saying it was never a discussion, Zidade was better etc etc
There is a lesson about one's own mortality and ego and self awareness and obsession in all of this. It's sad to see but even more frustrating to be a part of from the inside, i saw his debut as a professional player, i was watching the game when he debuted for the NT, he was our pride and now i hate him and his family, i absolutely do. He and the whole circus around him disgust me, yesterday about 95% of the people in the stadium were mexicans with a CR7

He was literally only hired because he wouldn't bench Ronaldo. Portugal's federation is nepotism through and through. Every other contender for the Portuguese coaching job refused because keeping Ronaldo on the team and starting kineup was non-negotiable. It's odd how you have all these Portuguese coaches in Europe, but the federation had to settle for a bald fraud from Spain.
>>
>>155440747
Ronaldo in 2017 had the same amount of Ballon D'ors as Messi, more UCLs and a Euros. He also scored like 53 goals that season. Please stop this Maradona and Pele boomer slop. Ronaldo is comfortably the second best player of all time

>>155433429
you are comparing different eras, Maradona played against better players, Messi literally played in a system at Barcelona and really did nothing else out of that system. He was a joke at international level but I will credit him with at least inspiring the Argies last time in addition to his own play. Messi's Tik Taki style in that Barcelona system worked well, he certainly has the skill. He certainly cannot play outside that style tho.
>>
>>155441618
>yesterday about 95% of the people in the stadium were mexicans with a CR7
KEK I noticed that too.
There was an angle from behind a corner stand and all the red shirts had a number 7. Filthy beaners, stop worshipping the geriatric.
>>
>>155432193
>Nah, he was better in his prime than all of them.
In RM, he had world class tier players playing with him. Messi had less of that at Barcelona (not by much, but still), and then he still managed to consistently perform in it and after Barcelona, even when Mbappe was actively sabotaging him at PSG, and hard carrying Inter Miami, while CR7 has been on a steady decline ever since he left Los Blancos.

Don't get me wrong, as far as hard working goes, CR7 is top 5 in history, maybe number one if you want to wank him that hard, but the reality is that talent always beats hard work, and there are players who were born to play football, while CR7 kind of pushed his way in through sheer audacity.

>ronaldo had goals
cool. I dont care about collective trophies in this context, a stick of wood would've won a bunch of ucls in that spanish mafia backed mudrid side.

He was an elite goal scorer for like 6-7 seasons. The same can be said about most of the elite poachers the game ever had. What did he do to make him the second best player of all time?

Did he dribble people like a madman? Did he provide killers passes? He was a poacher, and did his job near flawlessly. That's it.

Even among poachers, he's middle of the road, with ~.7 goals per game. There are strikers with close to or above 1 goal per game (and not just 150 or 200 games played)

This guy didnt do anything not seen before to be included in some kinda top 10 talks. Hell, I wager during the next 15-20 years we'll have at least 3 players with better scoring ability.

He's not an anomaly, like Messi or Pele was. Hell, even Puskás assisted a truckload of goals, despite being arguably the third best striker of all time. Meaning he had eyes for the game, not just a 1 dimensional poaching vision.

What else is he better at? His playmaking has never been close to his goalscoring. He hasn't been fast enough to be a winger for like 12 years. His dribbling dropped off even earlier. Ronaldo's best traits are having god-tier off the ball movement, strikers instinct, finishing and being an incredible aerial threat. I know that CR9 was a great winger but CR7 is a Center Forward.

People can vote them. That's why some are always harsher or cope.

At some point you just have to cut your losses and I feel like if Messi had retired he might have done that after Euro 2024. But when Messi was playing, and he is larping as still being hot shit, it put him in this situation where he had no choice.

It is quite possible that Ronaldo has already scored his last ever goal for Portugal. Obviously he's stuck playing club football until his 1,000 goals, despite everyone knowing it's a completely meaningless metric considering it all depends on the club you're with, I probably scored 1,000 goals in primary school break time play.

I've been arguing that comparing players across eras is disingenuous at best, but shut the fuck up, you don't know what you're talking about.
