Happy independent day to the Portugal National football team 🇵🇹 🥳
Thank you so much for give the goat some credit love you man ❤
😂😂😂😂 look who is playing diplomacy now <br>When Messi was loosing finals you guys were happy
No is is diminishing. Many just don't like this over hyping of his legacy..the difference should b clear..
Messi never won a WC. He just served FIFA and robbed football to get a WC . Ronaldo best of all time footballer. Messi not near Ronaldo in any way in the sports. What Messi has are stolen trophies to cemented a legacy that is tainted and destroyed by billions of fans ❤❤<br>ESPN FC always anti Ronaldo but have failed to distract the billions of followers backing Ronaldo and approving of his best of the best footballing status of all time. Today CR7 is the BOAT-GOAT what great recognition for Cr7 to earn and retire gracefully ❤❤❤❤
Stop mocking Ronaldo. All I know about Ronaldo are his alien football levels. No bad moments with Ronaldo in his entire career. His reputation is not diminished but sky rocketing. He is the best footballer of all time and still is the best today at 41 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.suiiiiiiiiii<br>BOAT-GOAT CR7 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Who tf is Mark Ogden? 😂 ☠️<br><br>You have to be either biased, low sports IQ, or just trying to get views to make a comment like this.😂
Yet one is inherently better ONE WAY OR ANOTHER - MESSI IS CLASS AND A GOAL MACHINE EVEN BETTER THAN RONALDO, goal per game, goals outside penalties, goals outside the box, more than doubles ronaldo, assists and goal contributions. <br>DON'T PLAY PLS, MESSI IS WITHOUT A SLIVER OF DOUBT THE VERY BEST OF ALL TIME. <br>HANDS DOWN.
ESPN is garbage 🗑️
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ronaldo's world cup career- Lucky hat trick vs Spain and Ronaldo's euro career is Eder
Ronaldo did it to himself
Bro just get on your knees at this point
My full respect to CR7. He does not need ESPN recognition nor comparison with anyone. He has the Worlds recognition for all what he did and achived in football. My hat down to him.
Hush up!!!!
Well look who's laughing at the end <br>They called Messi a fraud and said CR7 was clear bcoz he won with his county and Messi couldn't <br>We not letting that slide
Massive quanitites of people with self esteem issues in the comments
It’s mainly just kids they change their agenda every few years, when Messi first retired from international football they said it didn’t matter, now he’s won at that level it does matter and they try to diminish Ronaldo’s achievements, the hate he gets is actually unreal
Puts Portugal on the map and people wanna glaze Messi like his country wasn’t already one of the greats when he stepped in, Ronaldo came in with barely any talent in the team. It’s just crazy that Ronaldo is the reason people even consider Portugal a big country when it comes to the World Cup.
Cr7 is one of the GOATs. And the greatest athlete of all time. In terms of longevity and statistics he and Messi are the greatest of all time. But they weren't better than Pele Maradona or R9 in terms of football ability and talent
CR7 is The GOAT BOAT 🎉❤
Cut the BS!!! Portugal betrayed him and conspired against him to make him look bad and those are the facts 🤬
His Competition with Messi pushed him beyond his limit.
You can't have Ronaldo playing like he's 20 yrs hut I tell you no lie Ronaldo is a better goalscorer than any Portuguese player right now even at this age ,, so don't tell me anything about that <br>The thing is Portugal team and coaches didn't know how to play with him <br>If I was the coach I'll be happy to have him
Than Pele is the greatest player ever if it's just about winning world cup <br>He has more than them right <br>Ronaldo has euro and othe cup for his country and Portugal was never a footballing gaint until Ronaldo show up <br>So take that you Messi fans
Than Pele is the greatest player ever if it's just about winning world cup <br>He has more than them right <br>Ronaldo has euro and othe cup for his country and Portugal was never a footballing gaint until Ronaldo show up <br>So take that you Messi fans
Truth is nobody is diminishing his legacy. It just isnt as good as Messi’s World Cup or Not. Hes an amazing inspiration. If you dont want it to feel small, dont compare him with Messi. He can compare himself with the other greats (not Pele, Maradona, or Messi)
Stop comparing Messi and Ronaldo, u will never see anyone like them in the next 50-100 years. Current generation are some soft, ego maniacs that act like kids. Not even close to the GOATS
If Ronaldo was so great he should have carried Portugal all these years when going was tough. And I understand it is not as easy as said, atleast he could carry himself out of the team so that Portugal could do something. Didn’t carry Portugal and couldn’t leave the team later on, quite mixed career with Portugal.
I dislike this content. You may have a point, but I can’t stand the delivery.
Why is it soo important for people to want us to remember and be fair to Ronaldo? Why all these PR jobs. He was and so were others like Pele and Maradona. The more you people campaign for his relevance, the more you cast his legacy. CR7 wd be fine like all other players who were before him. Some of you speak like the Portugal national team shd retire from soccer because CR7 is retiring. The national team and clubs are bigger than any individual. He missed the right time to retire thanks to his PR machinery like you and the other fanatics.
Its because he is s sore loser, he always spoke down on Messi and now he wants the respect he never gave
I think Portugal will win World Cup or euros because Vitinha neves are reaching their prime whereas Spain will,become average once Rodri retires as he’s already past his prime, also France midfield is average at best
He WAS, Messi still IS
I should be a analyst. Because this is what I though or said few years back.
Oh but it was fair to diminish Messi's when Ronaldo scammed his way to Eder's Euro and the friendly Nations league tourney...?<br><br>Lol shameless man
The downfall of Cristiano’s legacy ain’t over yet, it’s only beginning to go down. When Portugal inevitably win a major tournament without CR7, he will make the headlines again and Portugal’s success will be attributed to CR7 not being in the squad anymore, who was pulling the squad down, and the whole world will see that.
This guy doesn’t even believe his own words lmao
What are you mumbling about
Clown talk
Mark you're such a clown 🤡😂
Bro his face is unrecognizable. I suppose that comes with aging.
Ronaldo, even at the peak of his powers, did not influence a single majotlr tournament
Ronaldo is a prime example of NOT knowing when to step off the stage
Bluetooth Dior 😂
They were diminishing Messi's legacy simply because Ronaldo had an international trophy and Messi didn't
There's no issues, the only issues is the people's pathetic mind trying to diminishing him.
Why are you guys obsessed Ronaldo
They would b abusing Messi, if Cr7 is the one who reach 3 WC final😂😂
Messi is WAYYYYY better 🐐
What are you talkng about? Just one year before WC, at the age of 40, he won Nation League, scoring in final and semi final and total of 7 goals in 10 games incuding qualifications. It was literally only one year ago! <br>And we all saw how his teammates played during recent WC. The only true game they played the way they supposed to play was against UZB. What was different? They almost never passed back and were always attacking.
Ronaldo is not even top 5 players of all time, Messi is the GOAT the GOD of the game
When Messi was losing finals, you guys were making posts mocking him now you're telling us how to feel? Sorry I can't remember anything about Ronaldo except cheerleading in the Euros final
😭
It’s unfair yes but then don’t turn around and say he’s better than Messi without one
Cristiano Ronaldo was never even close to Messi. Comparing them its an insult to Messi and to football . <br>Messi is by far the greatest of all time. <br>Cristiano Ronaldo is not even on top 50 player all time . He is the most overrated player ever
Portugal prior to Ronaldo 3 world cup appearances in 17 tried... 3 euros appearances in 11 tries. The guy was born quite literally into a horrible footballing nation and yet he was so great that people believed he had to win a world cup with them. Meanwhile Messi was born into football royalty, a nation that was already considered a powerhouse who's lifted over 15 Copa America's and 2 world cups prior to Messis debut... Asking Ronaldo to win a world cup with Portugal is like saying mexico should win a world cup 🤣🤣🤣 imagine Ronaldo had been born into football royalty? He'd have won 2 world cups
Stealing teammates goal come with a consequences😅😅😅
Example? Stealing goals from teammates, getting mad if his teammate score instead of him, extremely selfish. Disgusting dives… and reason he’s not the player that he was is because without his speed and pace he is nothing. He has nothing to contribute with. He doesn’t understand the game, has no iq, no vision, doesn’t have the technique and vision and ability to playmake, keep possession do link up play. All he’s good for his scoring goals for his own sake not his teams, and now that he can’t do that for a decade already, it’s obvious and apparent how useless he is. He was always shockingly overrated because it sold. Marketing and that’s it.
C.Ronaldo is not relevant. C.Ronaldo is the most overrated player of all time ever . He was always just Marketing Hyped by himself his fans and by Media. IN REALITY C.Ronaldo is not even on top 50 all time players, I'M HONEST !!!<br><br>Pele , Maradona , R9 , Zidane , Cruyff , Beckenbauer , Van Basten , Ronaldinho, Romario , Rivaldo , Zico , Robinho , Kaka , A. Di Stefano, Beckenbauer , Platini, Lothar Matthäus,Garrincha ,Gerd Müller ,Maldini, Iniesta , Georg Best, Pirlo , Steven Gerrard , Raul , Xavi , Modric , Lewandowski, Neymar, Del Piero , Suarez , T. Henry, Hazard , Mo Salah , Olise , Lamine Yamal , Mbappe , Di Maria , Arjen Robben, De Bruyne , Philipp Lahm , Cafu , Roberto Carlos , JayJay Okocha , David Villa , kroos , Samuel Etoo<br><br>This players are much better football player and more Talented than C.Ronaldo
But it's fair for him to diminish Messi's legacy. Cr7 is toxic and jealous. A very bad person who self-centred.
Messi winning the world cup doesnt diminish Ronaldo's legacy. It just puts Messi on a certain level that Ronaldo hasn't reached.
But it's fair for ronaldo to diminish Messi's achievement with argentina because Argentina has won the world cup before? No one cares about him
When messi had nothing with argentina, it was okay to diminish what he had achieved based on what i saw in the media between 2016 and 2021. Hold smoke! 🤫🤫
Ronaldo, an incredible player, diminished his own legacy for not knowing when to leave the Portugal NT. He placed himself above the collective and let his ego get the better of him. Then he met JESUS.
Wut makes him think Ronaldo will be done after Al nasser
These clowns are shameless,who is at fault for Ronaldo not winning the World Cup?😂😂😂<br><br>If it’s Messi,those comments would be different,hypocrites
I agree with Mark ogden here
Shutt up bruhh .. u wouldn't say the same if Ronaldo won the world cup and Messi didn't... <br>Stop this hypocrisy <br><br>We all saw how u guys abused Messi when Ronaldo won the euros in 2016 and Messi haven't won any international trophy
