Ronaldo

  1. Just saw a glimpse of his documentary.

    Apparently, he can run as fast as an Olympic sprinter, jump as high as a basket ball player.

    I know Messi is technically the better player, but you have to think about it for a second. They both score the same amount of goals, but would Ronaldo score more at Barcelona?

    No way he is as fast as an olypmic sprinter, or jump as high as an NBA player.

    That's just bollocks.

    100 in 105 for Real! I'd rather have Ronaldo, but given his system, Messi is better

  5. That's what the documentary says though. Ronaldo is the fastest player in the world IMO. He covers ground so ****ing fast it's unreal.

    Messi has 122 I think it is for Barcelona in the past 3 years Cronaldo has 100.

    In that documentary he was slower than some Spanish sprinter in a straight line, but quicker when he had to zigzag. His pace is unbelievable but in a straight line, olympic sprinters are miles quicker.

    I reckon Ronaldo is the best individual player in the world. He's consistently good for club and country, and has had to carry both at times, whilst i feel Messi is aided a lot by Barca's system and the rest of the team.

    That's not to take away from Messi; no doubt he's fantastic but Ronaldo just seems to have a better ability to play well when the rest of the team aren't.

    He's still an arrogant prick though.

    Messi is comfortably better than Ronaldo.

    I thought your crush on Ronaldo would've waned slightly since we signed Cabaye, obviously I was wrong. <ok>

    It annoys me when people compare Ronaldo to Messi. Messi is comfortably the greatest of his generation and the debate should be whether he's the greatest of all time, not the greatest in the world right now. He's the best player of the last twenty years, better than Zidane, better than the original Ronaldo and better than the Cristiano.

    I'm pretty sure in that Barca side you could play as well as Messi does.

    Messi had more self made goals than Ronaldo last season. It's not all about the team he plays with, although that obviously helps.

    The original Ronaldo would be comfortably better than them all, and maybe the GOAT, had his body (specifically his knees) been able to handle the stress his skill and ability put it through

    Ronaldo has players like Ozil, Khedira, Benzema, Higuain (and loads more), so he has plenty of others to help him as well.

    So I suppose the world record costing team Real have assembled around Ronaldo are a bunch of talentless donkeys also? <doh>
