It's different. Ronaldo was in a new team at Man U and a winger. Also he didn't use HGH or play with the same dudes since he's a teen.

Dat excuses.

 

[noal]

Right, England are shit and the Wii U is great. That is all.

 

[Noirulus]

Christ these crosses from Portugal are atrocious.

 

[Lightning]

Fucking Iceland. What a time to get a player sent off...

 

[Walshy]

Bit harsh to blame the stadium for the fans

The Poland game showed that its a fine stadium for atmosphere, but its up to the fans to provide it

See I dont think it's the fans at all. There is no excuse for the amount of corporate facilities in the ground, the lack of terracing, the gap between two sets of fans, the huge prices etc.

It's a good designed stadium just a poor designed football stadium.

Bale is already 2 years off the pace of Ronaldo. At 21 Ronaldo had 23 goals. Bale got 26 at 24. At 22 Ronaldo had 42. Bale had 12 at 22. I also think moving to Madrid will hinder Bale's development in the long term.

Bale only turned 24 in July, so he was 23 in his "26 year." But again, it's far easier to score when you have legitimate word class players supporting you and also being a concern for defenses.

I am not sure if it will hinder his development or not. I think by default he'll still score at least 25 goals a year since La Liga is such a joke and he's going to get a few in the Copa and the Champions League.

This

Except the great part

The HGH bullshit is getting boring, with UEFA anti-doping policies he would've gotten busted already if he was still using HGH.

Gonna do a poop at half time with more thrust and edge than Jimmy Milner

I'm dead

That corner

I'm dead

 

[The_Hitcher89]

lolana wut r u doin

 

[Knugen]

This fucking music.

 

[Hixx]

What the fuck happened with that corner!?

 

[mellz]

Fucking Iceland. What a time to get a player sent off...

What happend?

 

[Gareth Bale]

This is such a stupid discussion, but I will enter to say that Bale wasn't playing every week with Tottenham until 2010 because of injuries and his form after he returned. He did his knee and his ankle during that time. So two years behind is probably about right.

 

[wedward]

Ronaldo fans don't like playing that age game when Messi is involved. But it's fine for this.

Messi is better than Ronaldo. Messi is the GOAT.

 

[bjaelke]

I should be watching the Italy - Germany match. Seems to be somewhat interesting.

What happend?

Last man pulled down a Croatian player.

pls don't respond, that's the reaction they want, just laugh at the excuses instead.

Are you still masters of the 1-0 score line?

Please. I watch Tottenham all year I don't need to see them
In the summer as well

 

[Batigol]

Who scored for Italy?

 

[cremino]

Abate goal!!!

This

Except the great part

But its getting there...





...slowly.

These WCQ playoffs are two-legged, right?

edit: google says yes

Right, but this doesn't really change the argument. Consistency is the most important thing in professional sports, and Ronaldo is perhaps the most consistent athlete in the world.

Yes.

 

[Lightning]

What happend?

I don't know I'm watching the Sweden game.

I am keeping up to date on the other games using my phone and it says Iceland have had a player receive a straight red card.

 

[Wilbur]

Southampton lads haven't started too well. Which is a shame, because I'd rather have Lallana infield than old man frank and oxygen starved JM7

 

[FootballFan]

Messi is better than Ronaldo. Messi is the GOAT.

Yep. I didn't mean you personally, just generally lol.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Sure I do. No one who is playing at a pro level stops developing at a very young age. When Messi was 18-19 and starting to shine, it was obvious to see that he was better than contemporaries who were older and scoring a comparable number of goals. If a player is notably younger and performing at a similar level, they're better than the older guy who has leveled out. Plain and simple.

Ridiculous argument. Someone has gotten too used to looking at the potential ability stat in Foottball Manager.

Phil 'The Power' Taylor and Floyd Mayweather would like a word with you

Looooooooooool

Phil 'The Power' Taylor and Floyd Mayweather would like a word with you

If you ever refer to that fat cunt Taylor as an athlete again I'll burn down every sainsburys until I find your one

Fucking darts

 

[Manager]

Was it Seb?

If it's Seb, Ibra should be licking his hoop and asking how he takes such freekick

wow

Kim Källström, he's left footed so it suited him better.

I just talked to my father, he screamed at Seb for being a diving asshole. No one likes him, not even in Sweden.

 

[Batigol]

Phil 'The Power' Taylor and Floyd Mayweather would like a word with you

If there's one thing Phil Taylor isn't, it's an athlete lol

 

[bud]

nani's disgraceful.

 

[Error]

Must be why he had so many injuries this year. The end for Messi is nigh.

Yep thanks to him forcing against PSG and the genius Tito playing him injured against powerful teams like Bilbao when the league was decided.

 

[noal]

Looooooooooool

Fucking darts

Darts rule.

 

[wedward]

Phil 'The Power' Taylor and Floyd Mayweather would like a word with you

Yup, both probably up there also, but Ronaldo's consistency is insane. What's the longest he has ever been out because of injury?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Gimme dem Balon d'Ors

 

[Wilbur]

Darts rule.

Darts is for old widowers in a pub

 

[Labadal]

Velocunt!

 

[Fergie]

Lampard destroying any semblance of speed.


Milner destroying football.

 

[Batigol]

Lol Ibra's going to remember that

 

[noal]

...in a pub. Sounds good to me.

 

[Clegg]

Has Ronaldo ever been injured with Madrid?

I think he had some problems in his last season with United and missed the start of his first season with Madrid, but that's about it. Don't think he has ever missed that much time due to injury.

 

[Fergie]

Is Cahill drunk?


Is Johnson seeing double?

 

[Wilbur]

Pretty sure Gary Cahill is sleepwalking in a coma such is his utter stupidity and carelessness

 

[Hixx]

Cahill is a fucking spork

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Is Rodriguez on the pitch?

He's making Welbeck look productive right now.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Lampard destroying any semblance of speed.


Milner destroying football.

Milner's the fucking Galactus of football

Suarez is The Joker. Ronaldo is Superman. Messi is Bane, and he's fresh out of Venom
