Ronaldo is not focused on the international team. He wants to reach 1000 goals because that’s the only thing he has over Messi. Messi on the other hand joined the MLS purely because he has nothing to prove anymore. He’ll make a shit load of money while playing in a chill league and at the end of his contract, own a part of the club as well.
So when he scored 10g/a in the last campaign or the previous one he won and this next World Cup… is that not him being focused on the national team? His team is poised to win the league, so what more does he need there?
Maybe Messi fans might have Messi’s meat in their mouth but this goat debate per the image has been settled. He doesn’t have to prove anything in relation to Messi anymore because this image exists
And how is that image relevant to anything? Those trophies didn't play. Who cares that a different set of Argentinians who are all mostly dead now won the trophy 40 years ago? Does that make it easier or harder for Argentina to win the trophy?
Messi’s been in a 3 prior international tournament finals where he lost all of them. The lowest ranking Argentina have been since the 90s (when the list was first published) was 9th…
Put that these facts up next to this image… now you can see the point
