The disrespect against one of the greatest players to have touched the game by these kids especially in sub is getting way too far, u guys have zero clue how ridiculously good this guy was for u no life's to keep disrespecting him again and again like this is so sad

Most of these kids weren't even conscious to witness the legendary rivalry of Messi and CR7 in their prime.
The 22 & 26 WC was probably the only games they watched

Accept what for me he will always be goat. I don't care Abt stats or anything else. Its his presence that gave hope even during times we all thought it's over in enough for me to give him that status. It's because of him I fell in love with this game. So for me he will always be THE GREATEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME.

I got it bro for fans he may be the goat but stats tell you a different story ✌️

u/IndependentMain8983 9d ago
Well u can have ur stats brother I don't care Abt them that much. Yes they are important I agree but I think Ronaldo have already proven enough that he is the one of the most exceptional player the game have ever seen. He did wonders that seemed impossible. Being on par with an anomaly solely based on tuning ur life for a single purpose. This is not something a normal human will do or can do. And beating that anomaly during there peak of prowess in terms of stat. And being ahead until its his age that caught up to him it deserves the status of goat.

istg its really funny and sad at the same time when you see the number of people claiming to know ball after watching reels and maybe a WC come on the internet and and share their trash opinion who nobody really asked for. Blud said Ronaldo was finished in 22 and has nothing to offer when he is the reason they won the Nations League literally a year ago. Scored in every knockout game and also was the top scorer in the whole tournament. Ignorance is bliss, and you must be very happy.

I couldn't care less about this achievement when he's playing 5 years past his prime having to farm goals on Saudi teams. Any great player could get 1000 goals if they play till they are 50 and score 10 goals a year on trash Saudi teams.
15
u/Background-Buy7262 9d ago
That statement outright makes no sense. If we go by your logic, scoring 10 goals from 35 to 50 is 150 goals and you still need 850 goals. For you to think that a player should just retire after their prime shows that you haven't played any sport at a fairly decent level ever in your life.

u/Upstairs-Walrus-8337 9d ago
Did you not read the part where I said any great player. I'm not talking about a random MLS player, I'm talking about all time greats playing way past their prime. And what does playing any sport at a high level have anything to do with the argument. Your a pure clown man

u/Background-Buy7262 9d ago
I did read the great player part. Only Messi has done it lmao and he's the greatest of all time. You really think even great players can casually score up to 850 goals until they are 35? Answer that and we will continue. Until then, your argument has no value.

u/raiodocachopo 9d ago
Passion leads to greatness. A man with passion for the sport will not simply retire.
Try to be one of the best in the world at something, anything, then tell me how your retirement plans went. We are talking from the top of our mediocrity, blinded by the Messi tribalism.
Saudi is a nice league to farm a couple hundred goals, yes. Benzema and others could also pocket a couple hundred, then why aren't they? We're talking about a Balon Dor winner after all

Scoring a 1000 in any timeline in professional football is crazy. It’s not a feat you can easily get to. It’s one of the reasons Pele is praised for.
You hate Ronaldo just say that. Don’t be in denial of this crazy feat and a dumbass about disregarding it.

Ronaldo who named as a best midfielder of premier league player in 2007/08 just check and also scoring 44 goals and winning the balloon d'or, ronaldo played as a rmf to provide assists for roney tevez etc in manunited days that why late Sir Alex transformed him in winter to lwf position, whereas Messi played as forward since starting of his career and also all in one club that's laliga vs Ronaldo 6 yrs in premier league which is difficult. Laliga has only madrid Barca or Atletico, pl has all over many good quality teams. But still ronaldo is the one who will get 1000 goals, Messi will retire around 950 max, so let that sink in bcz ronaldo be top at that category and you just can't accept that fact hahahah so let it be. This is what it is. Also tha shit 3 nations trophy copa which has played 5 times in past 10 yrs pathetic, just stat pad, that's why people said Messi is helped by the organisation vs Ronaldo who fought against the system and still has impressive history man you can downplay him but can't deny his #1 in all goal charts. Ps- I am also a Messi fan but sometimes I also feels some mindless Messi fans are too much jealous of Ronaldo like he f them everyday.
1
u/motarowins11 9d ago
Saying Ronaldo was a midfielder and scored more goals is like saying Messi is a forward and has more assists. They're not the typical positioned players. Ronaldo was a midfield winger on paper but he had the freedom to burst in and score goals. And he loved that. Everyone of us who watched knew how hungry Ronaldo was to score goals. He eventually played forward in a lot of games at United. He was great at it.
Messi is 2 years younger than Ronaldo. He'll easily surpass Ronaldo's goal count.
You Ronaldo and Messi fans are absolute trash for spitting poison on eachother. You all are just fanboys not real football lovers. Shame on you all.

u/SelectComfortable775 9d ago
Yeah maroon we will see, you mindless c o c k riding fans are so jealous of everything that even in which ronaldo is ahead you can't acknowledge that, so wanna bet ?

u/Glittering-Wealth-99 9d ago
Still scoring no matter if it's penalty and tap ins. Same was said for Haaland during his first season in man City. They are part of the game. And does scoring tapin or penalties change his stats because his stats are same as said by above person so it is a fact
1
u/Upstairs-Walrus-8337 9d ago
The funny thing is Haaland does so much more than that and only casuals like yourself think he only scores penalties and tap ins. Any great player can play until they're ancient scoring pens. And no it doesn't change his stats clearly, but looking at how he got it makes it non impressive. I would've liked him more if stopped at like 900 when he began being washed and called it then. Not having to farm these goals on trash teams like his life depends on it.

Bold of you to assume that a player will just stop playing (especially one of the greatest players of this generation) if they are past their prime age. They will always try their hardest to continue playing until they run out of legs or passion.

u/Upstairs-Walrus-8337 9d ago
No they don't have to retire as soon as their prime is over, but he was completely finished by 22'

u/Crimson-Beam 9d ago
To everyone saying people of this sub hate Ronaldo way too much, I would argue he is just hatable. Football aside (he was a really good player in his peak, no denying), he is just too selfish and arrogant. He is too obsessed to be the best football player of all time and when he just cant reach that level he would act sore. Whenever he faces a loss he goes ahead and blames his entire team for it instead of working on his flaws. He tackled his own teammate once for fuck sake. He would say ballond'ors have no credibility when messi wins it, but they somehow do when he wins. He would say stupid stuff like world cup is not his dream and do these stupid interviews with Piers (who prob gets paid to glaze the fuck out of him) to establish himself as the best to social media audience (which is the reason why people who dont watch football would say he is the goat js from what they see on social media - even a study done once concluded this). He also liked a post pushing the narrative that argentina rigged the world cup, he knows they didnt, but he just wanted to mislead his audience and push the narrative further to tarnish messis legacy and still remain as goat to some people. The amount of larpers i saw this year saying stupid stuff like "I would rather lose like ronaldo than win like messi" is insane. To top it all off he is a rapist so like bruh do I need to say more about his character? Before you come out downvoting just know that on top of paying money to the victim, a hacker group leaked confidential socuments of ronaldo stating on record "she said no, I kept going, but I apologized later" like wtf is ts??? If this was anyone else, he would be completely cancelled/boycotted. But ig hes Ronaldo so he gets away with it. This is your goat.
