ahah, great gifs and picture !I might be alone here but I really like him (as a football player, off the pitcht I don't know/care). he's brilliant technically, inventive, fast, exciting to watch and even his very annoying behaviour is fun (I much prefer that to more humble great players like kaka, for instance).The fact that everybody hates him, which I can understand, almost make me like him more !If ManU wins the PL and CL this year will he get another Ballon d'Or and beat Messi to it ?

He was actually very nice and personable when we came across the Man U coach at some M62 service station one time and had his picture took with the kids.

No. Ronaldo's not been on form *that* good most of the year, although he's really starting to take off again. The only way Messi doesn't win this is if he blows out his knee and can't play the first half of next season.
― Call out (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 13 May 2009 11:19 (fourteen years ago) link
But I don't think Messi can win it if he doesn't win the CL (if he does, of course, it's not contest).And if CR wins the PL, the CL and is also best scorer of the PL, I don't see who else could get it....
― AleXTC, Wednesday, 13 May 2009 11:22 (fourteen years ago) link
Either way they were both essential in getting their teams to the final/winning the league and both scored a bunch, I don't see why that changes anything. Helps that Messi is world footballs darling, scoring wonder goals every game (as opposed to cronaldo doing it one in every 4) and not a whiny bitch.

(in the past ten years, ronaldo, figo (both for real), kaka and ronaldo have won it the year they won the champions league. cannavaro won it for the euros. it helps but it's not essential.)

(wow i need to stop procrastinating on wikipedia.)
yeah but since it's a non WC/Euro year, it's the CL that matters the most for the ballon d'or.moreover since ManU and Barca will be champions of their respective championships (although it's not done for ManU), it's the CL that will be decisive.but clearly EVERYBODY would prefer Messi to win it (and Barca to win the CL)... except me !

NV- I remember that pic!
I think United without Ronaldo are a much poorer team than Barca without Messi.
Ronaldo is more complete than Messi, but Messi's better to watch, because I find it hard to really get excited about someone just being faster and stronger than defenders.

Yes, if only Ronaldo could add some variety to his game, maybe try doing one of those fancy 'stepovers' or something, instead of just running quickly.

What Messi does waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than weasel face = pass the ball. Messi's passing is v v v good (though not as visionary as Iniesta). And if I had to have a player save my life in a 1 on 1 with a keeper, I'd pick Messi.

Messi has the wow factor more than Ronaldo for sure. That close ball control/balance thing is the quintessential skill of great footballers. Ronaldo seems like a newer breed, not that he's not skillful on the ball, of course he is, but he's a v Prem League style player, v direct.

I think Ronaldo will develop into one of the greatest footballers the world has ever seen. The combination of skill, strength, intelligence, and a wonderful attitude to the game he's got mean that only serious injuries (quite likely, unfortunately, he does get kicked a lot) will stop this happening.― Joe Kay (feethurt), Monday, 19 July 2004 13:54 (9 years ago) Bookmark

In the last year or so I've seen more people in Ronaldo shirts than ever before, the Al Nassr one. Can spot the blue and yellow a mile off as well
Messi definitely second but still a strong streetview showing
Vini Jr, Schweinsteiger, Dzeko, Neymar, Bellingham, Modric, Mbappe with occasional street sightings
Players being bigger than clubs now, how many does this actually apply to? I've never seen anyone in a Kane or Fernandes shirt
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Friday, 1 September 2023 08:59 (seven months ago) link
Is Schweinsteiger still playing? Seems like the odd one out.
Also are you implying that Bruno Fernandes is bigger than MAN UTD cos lol he’s not even the most famous player on the team also they are MAN UTD
― sell cigs to kids (a hoy hoy), Friday, 1 September 2023 10:06 (seven months ago) link
I can only report on what I've seen! I saw a Schweinsteiger national team shirt the other day. People must wear shirts of retired players too.
I could have picked any Manchester United player, or really most players. I'm definitely not implying Bruno or Kane are bigger than the club, it would appear precisely the opposite. Feels like the variety of shirts is fairly concentrated amongst a handful of players. I've also excluded actual football crowds here, this is purely everyday street sightings

"Not long ago I had an instructive conversation with a football-mad 10-year-old from Belfast. We were walking by a beautiful lake in Donegal. I’d seen him proudly wearing a Liverpool kit on the dancefloor at our Liverpool-mad friend’s wedding the previous day, so I asked him about the ongoing English league season. As everyone knows, football is “a common language”, particularly for people from different generations or cultural backgrounds who might otherwise struggle to know what to talk about together.
I asked him to name his favourite player (Mohamed Salah) and whether he thought Arsenal would be champions (he was certain they wouldn’t). He asked had I seen Cristiano Ronaldo’s latest goals? I confessed I had not. Ronaldo is smashing all the league records, he said, quoting the latest figures. Yeah, but it’s only the Saudi league, I interrupted. It’s not a proper league, is it? Who cares?
He hesitated and offered a look of sincere puzzlement. Politely but firmly he resumed his recitation of the Al Nassr captain’s many accomplishments in the Saudi Pro League over recent months. I felt he was doing his best to explain the future of football to someone he could see was still attached to a hierarchy that was obviously crumbling."

Fans with attachments to domestic leagues in countries such as Brazil, Argentina, the Netherlands, Belgium or Scotland have seen this sort of thing before. Accelerating in the early 1990s, the successful commercialisation and marketisation to global TV audiences of a small number of powerful leagues led to an increased concentration of talent in England, Spain and Italy, directly at the expense of “smaller” leagues, which were turned into relative backwaters.
