Not even like it was just his goals. That was a brilliant all round performance in pretty much every aspect. Obviously at his age he cant do that every time, but he can definitely save himself and pop up with these games. Phenomenal

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
25 international goals is very possible. 24 goals from free kicks it will be very difficult though, to break Juninho's record.
Knowing Ron, he'll break all of them.
That was Lebronesque. He single handedly got that draw. Every now and then he pulls of something like this and makes me depress that he left us. What a shame.
I don't care who is better. I am fully enjoying this era. Both Messi and Ronaldo will not last soon but, we are lucky to witness this greatness.

Tbf Messi has scored hat tricks against Brazil before too. Theres no point discussing differences between them. Nothing one or the other can do would change much at this point. Both are among the very best of all time, people can have their opinions but for everything one does, you can say the other has done that at some point. They're just that good.
Best bit is you just know Messi will attempt to match this tomorrow.
He's a very efficient player and tends to make the right decision in all phases of play. Something he doesn't get credit for.
If he takes more like that tonight rather than smashing it with the laces and hoping for the best then who knows
What a world cup we'll have if they start getting it on, trying to make it their own world cups
The guy has revolutionised top level football.
How long can he go on for? 33 and he looks unstoppable. I think only a major injury/ health issue can stop him performing like this. Surely at 40 he will have called it a day?

Of course he is.
Madness that some wouldn't want him here. Sentimental reasons included, it would be incredible to see him at OT again.
If he wins the WC there can no be argument or debate anymore. Messi has flopped in too many finals.
LeBronaldo!
I love Ronaldo like a lot. But I would be terrified of signing him because he just can't go on forever. He's 33!
Wouldn't be surprised if he modelled his later career after Giggs, probably does a bit of yoga on the side too!
People have been saying that for 3 seasons lol
As long as we can give him the ball near the box
Couldn't even score 4 against that hack goalkeeper. Not impressed.
I hope he hasn't...
Ronaldo's had his fair share of bad finals too. That's a huge IF right now anyway.
This is probably one of the best individual performances I've seen in all WC.
It looks like he could!
Unstoppable

For some reason I don't see that happening. I genuinely don't think Messi has that spark in him anymore.
He’ll try and he’ll fail.
I just wish I had fully appreciated what we had when he was here
He probably will but his team is more likely to pick up the 3 points.He’ll try and he’ll fail.
And people were comparing Salah to Ronaldo.
Joke really.
Joke really.
He's good at football.
Which is the greatest shame for Ronaldo. Imagine if he had a team as good as Argentina.
Doing stuff on the side was Giggys downfall...
Salah will have to be content with a replica Balon d Or
Fantastic game. Glad for Ronnie. But it won't count for much if Portugal crash out in the next round against Uruguay or Russia.
Ronaldo seems to have avoided long term relationships, so he should be fine in that regard. Still, it didn't slow Giggs down.
Uruguay will be hard, but Portugal, on tonight's showing will wipe the floor with Russia.
Are you comparing a friendly to a game in the world cup?
Very true, Iceland are probably one of the worst Uefa sides in the WC
I was pleasantly surprised to see that technique used today. I thought he would do laces-through.
He's no Cantona.
And you can quote me on that, Ronaldo FC in full swing.
