This is just awful. Ronaldo was not fully fit and playing against probably the best team in the competition. He is not as good as Zidane, but then again either is Messi. Ronaldo has actually done very well for Portugal and carried them very far into tournaments. A European Championship final and a semi-final losing narrowly to Spain on penalties. At the world cup he has taken them to the quarters and the semi.Marvin said:Another garbage performance from Ronaldo.
maybe not 100%, but he's been way below the level of players like Robben for quite some time now. Plundering goals in an almost totally dominant Real Madrid team against weak competition is one thing, but the test is making an impact against strong opposition. he has done that for Real Madrid, and for Portugal, but o much of his game is based on acceleration and power. He'll be one player that will decline very rapidly when he's physically past his peak - and there are signs of that. He's not going to be able to carry on and adapt his game and play in midfield like Zidane. It's all about pace, explosive shooting, leaping physicality. So as I have said before, the dream outcome of this Summer transfer window would be a move to Man Utd, however I don't think Van Gaal is that stupid.
I don't like this idea to disrespect the importance of speed and power. It's an important part of the game and Ronaldo has scored many important goals. Probably was the best player in the world last season.

Looks a bit ''meccano-ish'', like a certain other ground in greater Manchester!

Jokes aside, it's started with more energy and commitment than half the matches in 2010.

I hate Ronaldo, but that's utter pish about his form this season.
San Siro-esque to me.jimharri said:[bigimg]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BqRcYHyCYAE7xTx.jpg:large[/bigimg]JoeMercer'sWay said:funky stadium.
