foreveryoung Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I'm not sure why people are shocked he's still playing. These high profile sports personalities never know when to quit. See Andy Murray, Tiger Woods is a big one too, getting no where in golf lately, but thinks he can still win a major. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit different in a team game where he gets selected to the detriment of the team, possibly down to outside influences, and just being a singles player and wanting to go on. I suspect the rape thing in the U.S. means he won't carry on til the World Cup and Portugal can move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play and win money in major golf tournaments into your 70's. I mean, why should Woods retire. If he has another 25 years in which he can make money doing what he loves? He's not beholden to teammates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda chocking how few goals from open play they have I rate penalty goals in a WC over most open play goals tbf. The pressure is insane, especially for those guys.

Even the way he stands for free kicks is choreographed as part of his persona/brand, it makes me puke tbh. Then gets upset when his conference south 6th tier standard team mates cant play up to the standard he wants. I dont like him tbh, he can fluff his numbers all he wants, but he will never better than messi.

(sorry for the rant) I'm sure his teammates should have done more but it's a bit rich coming from a guy who for the last 3-4 years has had the work rate of a fish buried in the sand only moving when it's prey (the ball) is right in front of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think when he said he wanted to leave United he thought a load of CL clubs would be in for him which just didn't happen And then Saudi was the next best thing.

There definitely would have been teams in for him. He just scored 27 goals in a season and couple of months for United. Plus then the massive exposure he brings to any club. The move to Saudi must have been motivated by the insane amounts of money and chance to pad the stats. Edited August 18 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo was offered to Eintracht Frankfurt. So probably offered to the rest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Teams wanted him but he couldn't accept being a bit part player. He's too old to press and not many top teams would roll him out as a starting forward for 90 mins. Not going to slate him for his ego, he played top level football all the way until 37. Messi retired to France at 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor-Cal Villan Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 (edited) We watched every minute of Cristiano Ronaldo’s YouTube channel so you never have to Quote But in general, it’s just the latest step in Ronaldo’s apparently unstoppable ego evolution, an insurmountable road of astonishing self-admiration which presumably will only end with him buying the moon and writing CR7 on it in huge letters visible across the galaxy. But for the discerning football fan hoping for a Louis Theroux-style examination of one of the most successful sportspeople of all time, you will be severely disappointed because there is absolutely no substance in this vanity project that is, in short, a complete waste of every grown adult’s time. Interesting, hilarious piece. Hope I didn’t bury it by posting here but seemed the most obvious place Edited August 26 by Nor-Cal Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
