Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
A penalty against Iran and a goal in a 7-0 rout of North Korea.
I don't care how shit his teammates are, there's no excuse for that. He's been as poor as Messi in the World Cup. Until yesterday anyway.

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
Meh, Cristiano is clearly a club football guy. International football just ain't his thing. Mind you, Portugal after the class of 89 and 91 really isn't that good.

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
This holds for both Messi and CR7... you cannot get into the conversation of being one the best footballers ever without a great WC. Portugal and Argentina are not scrub teams. There's no excuse. It doesn't mean that your team has to win the competition or even get into the final 4. But it does mean that you need to stand out....

Portugal is a scrub team.
Argentina are among favorites to win the whole thing, Messi has no excuses.

True but it's not like Portugal is a bad international team. Were strong last European cup too.

Portugal being 4th in the FIFA rankings means shit nothing.
And actually I'd like to argue against sportszcy, I think Portugal is a scrub team.

Portugal are not a scub team.... they've always been a darkhorse contender in every competition even before Ronaldo. If you're playing for Cameroon or Ecuador.... then you have an excuse. Playing for a NT that is considered in the top 10 teams in every competition they enter is nowhere near being a scrub team.

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
They missed every Euro except 84 and only got they act together after the class of 89 got in their prime in 96. Not to mention they only started consistently qualifying for the WC in 2002.
I think Sport is giving Portugal a lil too much credit. At the same time, he is correct in saying being called best in the world (CR) or one of the best of all time (Messi) with only 2 WC goals isn't all that right...

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
What Portugal have atm: A bunch of players that used to be good, but are passed their prime. And those that are fresh, are average at best with no experience or individual game winning prowess. ~~> Hence scrubness.
Ronaldo the only great player. And these days you can't do it on your own really.
Forever being a dark horse and never actually delivering big time at a major tournament, says it all really imo.

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
Messi was good WC06 when he was featured and had actually great WC10, and he was great against Bosnia. Miss fake here though has been carbage in every WC.
The freekick that was blocked one man wall though was shight to behold.

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
Messi was awful yesterday bar his goal.If Nerman had the same exact performance you would be going on and on about how shit he is and how he keeps losing possession.Im not even going into the "he was great in 06 and 2010 part"
let's face it,CR and Messi are both just big names at the international stage.At least CR is.

Re: Ronaldo has 2 World Cup goals
Argentina is getting overrated based on their forwards, i'd take portugal any day over them considering they actually have balance to their team.

Portugal's defense and midfield is in different class compared of Argentina's.Donuts wrote:Argentina is getting overrated based on their forwards, i'd take portugal any day over them considering they actually have balance to their team.
They are FIFA #4, and not because of miss fake.
