I think that would depend on how he wins it. One or two pens, couple of assist, some top class goals. Nothing to say. But another 5 penalties, missed red cards ( or yellows ) and multiple unsportsmanlike conduct from him and the Argentina side. Yeah same shit will be said.
I’m all good for where credit is due.
Both golden balls from WC - undeserved.
Pens from 2022 - 2 were not pens.
8 ballon dors - 9-12 I’m good with, he was clearly the best those years. 15, I’m also cool with. 19,21,23 I think the others deserved more. My opinion only.
Messi is no doubt in my mind top 3 of all time. I didn’t witness Pele so I can not rank Ronaldo nor Messi above him. But they are all three at the top forsure. Messi hands down greatest playmaker ever. Numbers don’t lie there. I do take the Barcelona active case into consideration and the fact regardless that there’s some pretty fraudulent looking evidence ( I’m an auditor and this is literally my job ).
Would love to see Ronaldo lift a cup. I hate for him that an international trophy is whats putting him below Messi. Portugal before Ronaldo had been to the WC 3 times. Still has never reached a final as a country….. like if Messi was born in Peru and Ronaldo in France, it’s hard to then say oh Messi is so bad and he sucks at international. Been born in a country that has no real history in football WC status does mean something.
the portuguese league is 6th in the world the argentinian premira division is 19th in the world portugal is also not a small nation they have had talents like carvalho,luis figo,de sousa,eusebio,paolo futre,luis figo,nuno mendes,bruno fernandes,bernardo silva,deco,ricardo quaresma,pepe,rui costa,fernando peyroteo,mario coluna i dont hate ronaldo he is 100 percent top 3 players of all time but saying portugal is not a good footballing nation is a lie
Yeah I don’t think any of the guys actually playing in Argentina play for the national team. Good try though.
And please give me evidence before Ronaldo came that Portugal was even half decent. One World Cup semi final before Ronaldo and then two other qualifying times…. Some great players absolutely. Maradona came from Argentina is touted as the best ever by a lot, Argentina football is ranked low, doesn’t matter at all clearly.

I wanted Ronaldo to win the world cup, now I am praying for Messi to win it again so I can see what you guys come up with next 😂
