Delighted to see Ronaldo knocked out.
It's a source of regret to me that his snarling, unsmiling, selfish demeanour has influenced a generation or two of kids, that his arrogant goal celebrations have caught on, that his constant bitching at team-mates (once considered, quite rightly, to be beyond the pale) now goes without a comment.
I hope the Player of the Tournament, whoever it may be, will have far better ethics than him. |  |

Move over Adel..Joe Walsh the new Keeper looks very talented with the ball at his feet. |  | | |

Ronaldo can only dream about some of the things Adel did during a game. Not even close with the ball at his feet as Adel. |
That sums it all up about this thread!!! Absolute rubbish, negative stuff about Ronaldo!!! And I am questioned by the 'one & only' Antti as to why I don't go with the trends. This thread is an excellent example why I do not!!! | | | |

Someone else brought Becks and Langers into it. I was responding to them (that's why I quoted the poster in my response) - nothing to do with you at all, and your 'pathetic' response was in itself pathetic. It's a shame you're so contrary all the time, as you do have some interesting views. Sadly, most of the time you misread, don't read, get things wrong, or misrepresent, as well as being totally unable to admit when you are (frequently) wrong.
As for asking the experts about Ronaldo's free kick abilities - Ian Wright was saying on TV how poor his FKs are, and I cited an article in the Athletic that was all about his very poor conversion rate (2 in four years up to last November).
He has scored some phenomenal free kicks. But he's not even close to the likes of Pirlo or Juninho Pernambucano - true great free kick takers. He's not even in the second tier of someone like Beckham or Henry. 2 free kicks in 4 years is paltry for someone who takes every single free kick within 35 yards of the goal and on most occasions blasts them over or straight at the wall.
I assume you will never express an opinion on football again as you have never ' taken a free kick from the distances and angles that he has scored from?' or understand 'how difficult it is'. Pathetic response indeed. |
Yea whatever Antti......he is a crap player who has been very lucky to earn a living out of the game, very lucky to have scored the goals that he has, his free kicks are rubbish, dozens & dozens take better free kicks than Ronaldo, he is a lucky man to be captain of Portugal, and wtf did Alex Fergie & lots of other Manager's let him take all the free kicks when all he does it hit it' high and wide' or against the wall itself. Give me our Moroccan genius anytime over Ronaldo.
Happy now Antti?? | | | |

You're better than that gazza.
Of course, Ronaldo has been a tremendous player & one of the two best on the planet for at least a decade. Not many on this thread have said differently to that, but many (including me) don't like him. Is that fair of us? Of course it isn't, we don't know him, but life is based on perceptions.
Everything you have said about him is correct apart from his record with free kicks, but your perception is that he is good at taking them. Nowt wrong with that, but please stop trying to argue against the numbers on his record for failing to score directly from his fk's. | | | |

Yes, you are right, I should know better.
But some of the stuff on this thread about Ronaldo is very wrong indeed. I know a key discussion is about free kicks and he is, apparently, not very good according to stats......well these so called stats that say he is not very good at free kicks can be very misleading indeed.
Why?? He is not going to score many from 35 yard fee kicks but he may get a corner or bring a save and the team scores on the follow up, things like that are not shown on stats so I do not agree that he is useless at free kicks. What you need to ask is....why do all the Managers that he plays with lets him take the free kicks?? The answer is because they think he is best in the team and those teams, as you well know, are the likes of Man Utd, Real and Juventus - he is the key taker of free kicks and penalties in those teams, not actually second string sides. So I am NOT in agreement that he is useless at free kicks as many, Antti included, are trying to tell me. | | | |
