:lol: ronaldos face when he scored. The happiness. It's cute how much goals mean to him.
 
I remember when he started scoring every game for us and I was like "he can't possibly keep this up, can the?!". How wrong I was! He want event a natural finisher as a kid ffs.

Also, why is this thread always full of so many posts every time he scores a goal? (I'm ignoring my contribution in this time)
 
477 career goals now. He'll likely break 500 early next season.
 
That makes 18 assists for the season (in all comps), which is his highest tally yet. A tribute to RM's great offensive dynamics and Cristiano's more selfless playing style this season. His link-up play with Marcelo has really flourished as well.

Because the rate he scores at is absolutely ridiculous. Every goal is an addition to his already large tally. It is not necessarily the quality of his goals that has people always commenting, but rather the consistency with which he scores.

Actually it's probably because he played for Manchester United.
 
Always makes me laugh when people criticise his attitude / personality / character based on seeing him for 90 minutes out of the week!

Why do you laugh? Do you think his attitude is normal or commendable?

And is your comment in any way related to the picture/info you posted?
 
Maybe there's a laughing gas leakage where is?

Plausible explanation.
 
Knobheads are usually called as knobheads. I don't understand why being a great player should have any bearing into it.

I agree.

As a United fan I used to get defensive about it but given he doesn't play for untied anymore and I'm not a kid anymore, call it as it is IMO.
 
50 goals and 18 assists. Fecking hell.

There most likely won't be two players like this in the same era ever again.

Agree. Basically people just don't like someone who is very good at something, proud of that and displaying it. They would much rather prefer someone pretending to be humble but who is actually a cnut (if you know who I mean). It is too much to expect from bunch of pseudo-intellectuals on a forum to acknowledge the talent and effort needed to where Cristiano has reached.

Spot on. The Law of Jante we call it in Norway..

Oh his talent and error are indeed phenomenal.

It's funny that all that time back the majority felt Rooney was the bigger talent :lol:

Indeed! But to be fair, Rooney completely outshone and outperformed him during his two first seasons in United.

But it just goes to show how we underestimate the technical side of the game. Rooney had the brain and grit but ronaldo's technical superiority despite the frustration meant his ceiling was inherently higher.

Around till 2006/07 I think they were at equal footing. Rooney didn't do bad by any stretch of imagination from then till now but Ronaldo always had this ambition of becoming the best in the world and his single mindedness towards that objective took him that much farther from Rooney.

This & that!

Yes but also the technical gap between the two. How often do we bemoan Rooneys first touch and how often does ronaldo's let him down? And at the time I don't think I would have focused on that.

I know there are people who tend to hate anyone who is successful, but in Ronaldo's case that's certainly not the only plausible explanation for someone disliking him. It's incredible how the one who is arguably the best Portuguese player ever (and the only other possible contender would be Eusébio) manages to be so unpopular (proportionately to how good he is, and taking into account the fact he barely played here so local rivalries are meaningless) in his home country. Wouldn't you expect him to be a universally praised hero around here? Whilst he has many fans, the amount of people who simply can't stand him is quite strange.

Being proud of himself is the least of his problems. He's an idiot who gives a bollocking to a team-mate in the national team just 5 minutes into a must-win game because the latter didn't score, just made a perfectly reasonable and very dangerous shot. He's also capable of alienating most of his home country by acting like a cnut in both Benfica and Porto's stadiums and then not realising it's in his actions that his unpopularity lies, summing it up with "people just hate me because I'm rich, pretty, and score lots of goals".
 
Ronaldo has scored 39 La Liga already goals this season. Just 7 away from his all time best in 11/12 season. To put this into context, he alone has scored more than 14 other La Liga teams this year. Domestically that list compared to the Premier League is Swansea, Stoke, West Brom, Newcastle, Villa, Sunderland, Hull, Leicester, QPR and Burnley. He is within 2 of Everton. Within 3 of West Ham and Crystal Palace. Within 6 of Southampton. And within 8 of Liverpool. All season. In the league. By himself.

Oh and he also has 18 assists. His highest tally to date at Madrid already.

And lastly, I already mentioned this before but it's worth stating again.

He can play over 400 games for Real Madrid without scoring and still have a better goals-to-game ratio than Real Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer, Raul.

Absolutely spot on.
