You'll be happier to know I never was. I have got called a Ronaldo fanboi as well as a Messi fanboi here, though, which I count as an achievement.

Is it fanboi not fanboy? My bad, I'm not up to date with the latest teen slangs..
I dunno, someone says Ronaldo is better than Messi and POOF there's amol to call you a fanboi. Was I imagining? I dunno.
p.s. it wasn't me who said anything related to that pointless comparison before you release a fatwa.
That tells you a lot about Ronaldo and Real in general this season imo. Every time they face a tougher opposition they are looking poor and can't create a lot. Ronaldo, who needs a lot of service these days, was pretty much invisible in all of those games. But they are still good at trashing smaller teams and then Ronaldo will score for fun. But that's also the reason why I don't think it would make sense for us to throw money at him. Right now we are struggling against pretty much everyone and are not able to create a lot. Ronaldo would do as much damage here as he did in the tougher games for Real so far.Stats really don't tell the whole story in this case. The breakdown of the opponents his scored in isn't very impressive, and that's before getting into his actual performances.
I wouldn't be surprised if Madrid fans were annoyed at his performances now, his biggest defenders this season seem to be people who haven't actually watched him.
His 25 goals this season:
Agreed - the stats will show you that Ronaldo is underperforming in big games, like the rest of the team. So, it doesn't make sense to single him out for condemnation when no one is pulling their weight...and the reason RM are doing so bad is because they have a manager who is inept at the top level.
Hits the bar with a header after a cracking team move
Should've scored that but he's playing a lot better today.
Assist for Bale's 2nd goal
Lovely goal that. Bale has stolen the show with a class performance but Ronaldo's been good today.
Agreed. Bale has been superb tonight.
I love that he doesn't let his son win
Siiiiiiiiiiii!

His son missed by a mile, unless the game is miss the goal, his son is never winning.

Is it known who the biological mother is?

Nope. He's stated several times that it is not any of the publics business.
He got full custody and apparently doesn't let her see him much.

She's never seen him as far as I know.
Christ, that's a bit shitty. She is probably a bit rough or something for him to not let her see his kid.
The other rumour that floats around is that he's gay, wanted a son so paid for a surrogate.
How the hell did they get him out without his mother knowing?
Yeah takes great care of his physical appearance & shags loads of gorgeous women, so must be gay
No it was most probably a business transaction, from which she made a lot of cash. 100% don't agree with it, but each to their own. I'd expect he paid some agent & selected a woman based on her looks, as obviously if she were 'rough' her son has a 50% chance of looking just like her.
Not saying he is gay or isnt, but Ian Thorpe did date a lot of beautiful women too.How the hell did they get him out without his mother knowing?

My point is that none of us know. And neither do we need to.
Our worry should be his football, and his bedroom and kids should be off limits.
oh I know a few guys who'd be able to tell you if he is or isn't. But as I don't care, I won't bother asking them & as they have no interest in football I doubt they'll bring him up in conversation. I was made aware of Thorpes orientation many years before he came out.
Whatever he brings into social media, or mentions in interviews, will never be off limits. He's making the choice by posting it on his Twitter account and/or discussing with the media.
Classy guy.
You'd expect the runner-up to shake the winner's hand to be honest...
Tell that to Yaya.
Credits to Ronaldo for bouncing back though with his last 2 Ballon D'ors because before that it was Messi's 4 against his one. He got real close to Messi with 3 Ballon D'ors.
meh, just wanted his picture taken

His son needs to keep working. He is going to be eligible for the US national team when he is older.
Viva 2-0 @FC Ronaldo
Bam! scores his second.
Viva! @FC Ronaldo
Kicking out again, he gets a lot more frustrated then he used to.
