What's wrong with Ronaldo? He is literally now crying on everything. From WC to Al nassr's Mickey mouse cup and now euro.

Like Messi the guy won everything possible bar the world cup. So it made perfect sense when he cried after the world cup exit. But the other cups? At 40 you are no longer responsible for your teams success or failure. He is certainly too much bothered by the media sayings.

the Homelander comparisons on social media are actually so fitting lol

by Warrior Tue Jul 02, 2024 9:55 am

Been saying it for years, Messi lives RENT FREE in this guy's mind he's actually his landlord. CR has cried daily since Argentina won the world cup.

Well he's not to blame for yesterday's parody of football we saw in both games

by futbol_bill Tue Jul 02, 2024 1:28 pm

You guys mock him too much. He is extremely egotistical and terrible self centered personality, but at same time a phenomenal generational player. Sure he is behind Messi. This constant comparison to Messi is over the top IMO. You have to credit the guy for still being fit and playing well at 40.

For that matter too, Messi still is playing well. But let’s recognize both are playing in B leagues, but able to contribute to their NTs.

by Thimmy Tue Jul 02, 2024 1:55 pm

I agree that he deserves credit for playing well and staying in so good shape at his age. The Messi vs Ronaldo debate seems to live rent free in the minds of their respective fans, much moreso than in the mind of Ronaldo himself.

It was a bit strange to see him weep at his age and I pointed that out, but I have nothing but respect for his footballing ability. I couldn’t care less about how he measures up to Messi.

Ffs... went to sleep at HT cos couldnt sleep that late (early) again Razz

Logged on here n forgot about finishing watching the second half first Razz

So Portugal are out? CR cried? XD

Surprised but not that surprised... its been the theme for this Euro. But still, Portugal overall has been underperforming for yrs when u consider their loaded talents... bar that Euro win, when they had one of their comparatively weaker squad too? Football can be so weird...

by BarcaLearning Tue Jul 02, 2024 3:54 pm

Ffs.. what I missed Very Happy

So Portugal did go through, then why did CR cry? Lol... did he cry after his miss when the game was still going on or what?

There must be countless memes of him for this game alone Very Happy

So France v Portugal should be intriguing, rematch of the final, with both teams underperforming so far... Mbappe vs CR Very Happy

He got a penalty in injury time and missed it Euro 2024 - Page 16 1f605

Almost straight afterwards, the game went to penalties and he didn't miss that time. Portugal hit all of their penalties while Slovenia missed every single one of theirs.

I'm sure there are a lot of memes about him. Like Bill pointed out, he's very self-centered and often looks quite animated on the pitch. I think his personality tends to overshadow his ability, though. He's become far less consistent with age, and he's nowhere near as explosive as he used to be, but for someone who's approaching middle age, he's still in incredibly good shape.

Thx Thimmy... too bad I missed it real time, would have been good entertainment Very Happy

I wonder what his reaction was after he scored too lol.... Tbh I prefer big name teams always over small teams to watch simply cos more big names to see Razz

The next rounds gotta be pretty good to watch - Spa/Ger, Fra/Por, Swi/Eng

by BarcaLearning Tue Jul 02, 2024 6:15 pm

Any Inter fans? Dumfries is so good going forward... how good is he defensively, n is he consistent? Cant believe hes sometimes on the bench when hes this good?

by Vibe Tue Jul 02, 2024 6:24 pm

For Inter he is lost.

Seems confused going forward and he's average defensively, I rate Darmian a lot more.

But he scores an odd goal here and there and gets an assist as well. He always seemed a lot better for Netherlands.

by BarcaLearning Tue Jul 02, 2024 6:32 pm

Thx Vibe... Netherlands could have been up like 5-0 at least already, pretty small margins making it still a game atm 1-0 Razz

by Vibe Tue Jul 02, 2024 8:03 pm

Best 2 and a half minutes of the entire Euros

by halamadrid2 Tue Jul 02, 2024 8:53 pm

Guler best young player in the world right now. If he was Spanish and from Barca he'd get alot more hype

by futbol_bill Tue Jul 02, 2024 9:59 pm

Hala, don’t be so bitter. Güler has been fantastic and is leading Turkey at 18. However, Yamal has been just as fantastic and is only 16. Both of them are great and will be stars. Other difference is Yamal will be a starter on a weaker Barca, whereas Güler will be a reserve, at least initially, on a stacked Real Madrid.

Can't see him sitting on the bench for more than one season. Far too good

Oh, I agree. He is going to send Rodrygo packing! My thought is before the end of this season.

But I was reacting to your post about Barca hype. The hype for Jamal is coming from all over Spain. Even Carvajal and Nacho have been raving about him.

by titosantill Yesterday at 12:59 am

does Diogo Costa vs Ricardo deserve a thread of its own? Or is it just two goalies who were excellent at the spot. There was a time Ricardo was a nightmare for English players and their fans.

LOL you think Guler wasnt hyped? Plenty of clubs wanted him

Yamal gets as much praise as he deserves, and he is homegrown so Barca has the right to boast. Y'all wanted Brahim Diaz to go instead of Nico and Yamal. Be serious for once

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim.

Good day to Others.

No one talk about Mert Gunok's save?

Supposed to be one of the best save?

by BarcaLearning Yesterday at 3:04 pm

Didnt watch the match... but so much for Rangnicks so called redemption, out to Turkey n the 18yo kids then it is Very Happy

by Arquitecto Yesterday at 4:24 pm

Not to be Barcalearning here but CR knew exactly what he was doing when he cried within that game.
Cameras will always be focused on him and so will his players so to take away from another invisible performance this is how you take away the narrative.

All over instagram it will be winning mentality and what not but since his Juventus days these crying displays have been a regular.

by Arquitecto Yesterday at 4:35 pm

Since Juventus, where the spotlight was less upon him naturally; the usual routine is this.

Bad performance? Meander to a more secluded part of the pitch away from players, towards the crowd look to the skies and sob.

Completely takes away the scrutiny from him.

XD XD XD Good take Arq XD
