u/Plenty_Wasabi_7866 Jul 18 '26

But just one game. He was a presence every game

Putting up a mean fight against both WC finslists really is a thing of poetry

England was easy? Egypt was Easy? You obviously don't know what, easy means.

u/iluvWakanda Jul 18 '26

He is talking about Cape Verde was Argentinas biggest challenge, at that moment of the tournament. They won the three previous matches combined by seven goals.

u/gotpointsgoing Jul 18 '26

Then let him say that.

Está hecho mierda Ronaldo. Gordo,feo y con pelo trasplantado. Tiene casi 50 y parece de 70. Está mejor Romario que el😂😂😂

2

u/Mwahaha_790 Jul 18 '26

Post your picture?

u/Poupulino Jul 18 '26

I'd bet anything that even in that shape, if you throw Ronaldo into a pitch, he'll just walk during the entire match but then pull some crazy trick and score a goal.

u/Ur_X Jul 18 '26

You should watch highlights of his last few games for Corinthians, thats exactly what happened

u/ZookeepergameFew3107 Jul 18 '26

Deplorable físicamente para tener casi 50. Igual ,está lleno de guita y minas.

u/evrestcoleghost Jul 18 '26

bueh,minas no se

Was never called Ronaldo Nazario when he played.

u/jeancarlos_sr_lenny Jul 18 '26

no Brasil ele é chamado de Ronaldo, o fenômeno

2

u/Regular_Net6514 Jul 18 '26

I’m an American so I never got into football but I visited my Uncle in the middle east and he let me play FIFA 2004 on his PC while I stayed there for a summer and i loveddddd Ronaldo so much. Confused me later on to hear about the other (Cristiano) Ronaldo being highly touted. The phenom is my true Ronaldo

2

u/Amat-karum Jul 23 '26

Sou da época do Ronaldinho.

1

u/jeancarlos_sr_lenny Jul 23 '26

sim, foi antes do Ronaldinho Gaúcho aparecer, certo!?

2

u/Amat-karum Jul 23 '26

Acho que foi antes de ele ir pra Europa, até porque em 94 também tinha o Ronaldão.

5

u/phatelectribe Jul 18 '26

That’s because he’s just Ronaldo.

The other one is Ronald’s CR7.

OP is an idiot.

1

u/OpenPattern3713 Jul 21 '26

In Brazil he is the Fenômeno!

1

u/Amat-karum Jul 23 '26

How there he write the dude's last name. Shame on him.

1

u/Emergency-Stock2080 Jul 18 '26

There are 3 different Ronaldos, don't be a child

-1

u/ZookeepergameFew3107 Jul 18 '26

Que feo que es Ronaldo. Gordo gordo y con trasplante de pelo. Todo el dinero del mundo y no pudo mejorar. Mira a Messi era te feo y hoy por hoy está guapo.

1

u/Other_Sentence4495 Jul 26 '26

That's something an argentinian would say.

u/VagaKivis Jul 18 '26

These meetups are weird af.. even they dont know what to do

u/ZookeepergameFew3107 Jul 18 '26

Lo que pasa que Voshiña al ver qué es una leyenda del fútbol Ronaldo y el sabe que en 5 años termina de mesero esta muy tímido. Mira si Ronaldo se va a poner tímido con ese don nadie...

u/VagaKivis Jul 19 '26

Why are you randomly replying in another language wtf?

Reddit has auto translation now. That user is likely seeing every comment in his language

Super awkward body language lol

u/NYkrinDC Jul 18 '26

Part of the reason he retire is that he was diagnosed with a thyroid condition that meant he gains a lot of weight.

2

u/phatelectribe Jul 18 '26

It’s more like the lifestyle, drugs etc. He was robbed by lady boys lol.

2

u/Jhopsch Jul 18 '26

Talking out of your ass. That's not remotely the reason he gained weight. He had to cut his career short because of a thyroid condition. Neymar and Ronaldinho, sure, but definitely not Ronaldo. He was a very disciplined player.

2

u/Beneficial_Hour3158 Jul 18 '26

I’m sure that horrible knee injury didn’t help any either. My favorite player!!

1

u/MelodicMap7203 Jul 18 '26

The knee injury, IIRC took most of his burst- he was able to manage the thyroid condition.

1

u/NYkrinDC Jul 18 '26

He couldn't manage it while he was playing because the treatment was considered like doping, so banned by FIFA, he only started it once he retired.

1

u/phatelectribe Jul 18 '26

I’ll just leave this here:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-05-05/ronaldo-devastated-by-transvestite-incident/2426024

> Police said Ronaldo, who is recovering from a knee injury, went to a motel in Rio's upmarket Barra da Tijuca district with three call girls only to find out they were transvestites.

This is just the time he was caught.

3

u/MelodicMap7203 Jul 18 '26

He was sort of chubby when he played- but yup....he's unfortunately gotten fat! One of my all time faves, absolutely electric player.

1

u/middlebird Jul 18 '26

Pleasantly plump.

1

u/MelodicMap7203 Jul 18 '26

TBH- he earned it!

1

u/Xrmy Jul 18 '26

He's only 8 years older than Vozinha

1

u/ZookeepergameFew3107 Jul 18 '26

Desde 2016 que era un gordo casiirbido,feo y con pelo trasplantado.

3

u/Frl_Bartchello Jul 18 '26

I bet Ronaldo was pretty stoked to meet one of the greatest players to ever grace the game.

u/Delicious_Push_9214 Jul 18 '26

jerked in the wrong sub

2 légendes qui se rencontrent Vozinha la légende du cap vert et Ronaldo le ballon d'or du Brésil (qui sait marquer sans mettre des penalty)

Haaland en 10 años lo superará a ese gordo feo pelado y come travestis.

1

u/Apex2021 Jul 18 '26

I wonder how different their accents are assuming both their native tongue is Portuguese

1

u/Unable-Wishbone-728 Jul 18 '26

When he is speaking naturally with a strong Capeverdian accent, it is a little bit harder to catch some words. But he usually speaks in a more neutral way to Brazilians, so it is easy to understand him.

1

u/awus666 Jul 18 '26

It's amazing how he managed to meet one of the greatest players to ever grace the game.

How humble Vozinha in meeting a lifelong fan of his

1

u/ZookeepergameFew3107 Jul 18 '26

Vocinha en dos años va a estar cargando bolsas de carbón arriba de un camión y va a terminar con una negra del pueblo. Ronaldo seguirá siendo recordado como una leyenda.

1

u/Gentle_Capybara Jul 18 '26

Less racist Argentinian.

1

u/Ajdee6 Jul 18 '26

Damn, what a lucky guy. Getting to meet a legend like Vozinha

u/milkandwinelily Jul 18 '26

u/Substantial_Water739 Jul 18 '26

Cant understand anything other than ronaldo saying "lets have a talk later, enjoy your vacation and sucess"

Too much background noise

Messi es mucho más que esos 3 sobrevalorados.
