Cristiano Ronaldo

[WBA1955]

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in my opinion the greatest player in the world for the best part of two decades. I also admire the money he has spent from his own pocket for the benefit of others in need.
Unfortunately he also belongs to the new generation of cry baby men who have tantrums when things don't go like they wanted. Men who cry if they lose or feel left out.
This is the result of mollycoddling kids and keeping them away from disappointment and defeat.
Life guarantees you nothing, not even tomorrow. Instead of crying about what you should have had, be thankful for what you do have, which in Cristiano's case is much more than most.
I have absolutely no time for people who moan when others would be grateful to see the next day.

Narcissist!

Regardless, I always cut some slack for anyone who has lost a child.

The problem with Ronaldo is that he isn't the player that he once was and is finding it difficult to come to terms with this. He has been a great player but shouldn't expect to be treated differently to any other Manchester United player because of his previous success. His actions cannot be conducive to team unity. It's interesting that no club of any note have enquired about his availability. Someone might do so, but not as yet.

The bloke is a w anchor.

People forget how he cheated to get Rooney sent off and then winked at the camera, I haven’t!

Not fit to lace Messi’s boots when both were at their peak.

A sober George Best with half Georges talent.
Imagine him against the likes of Chopper Harris on a muddy pitch

Always remember the FA cup game a while back when he was just a lad
He was showboating with his step-overs after he came on.
Sean Gregon then wiped him out on the touchline and sent him into the advertising boards …..nice

It was a League Cup match when he was 18 actually but yes, he got a bit of a culture shock that night as we beat them 2-0.

I think old internet perv Bernd Haas scored.

Ronaldo is/was a great player and very driven to achieve. Like so many driven people he probably has some psychopathic tendencies though, including a degree of narcissism which makes him not so much a nice person. Yes, he has suffered the very sad loss of a child and yes, he does donate a lot of money to charities but whilst I sympathise with the former and applaud the latter, do not think he is particularly likeable person. I think Leicester's post about him struggling to accept his age declining abilities has a lot of truth in it too.

I was at that match.

Personally I think Ronaldo is the better of the 2, and has the added bonus of not having a grandad who invaded The Falklands.
