Spike Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 No Italy, England, Germany, France, or Brazil, it seems. Not to take anything away from his achievements, scoring is still scoring but there is a lot of mediocrity on that list. Though I do suppose Portugal has never really had an elite squad as well.

Teso dos Bichos Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Its applicable to Ronaldo but EVERYONE wants to ignore at the fact that Messi has never EVER EVER scored against Argentina's main rival Brazil in a WCQ match... and he has had plenty of games to end that awful streak that will hunt him for the rest of his.life.

Was going to mention that, Ali Dae scored against nearly all of Iran's regional rivals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I hope he doesn't. I think it's cool Ali Daei has had that record for a long time. Not his fault most of Asia is shit at football, tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnivore Chris Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I've never known such a big deal to be made out of scoring a penalty in a 2-1 loss as this. It's absolutely ridiculous. You wake up this morning and it's all over TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went from a goal every 3 games in the champs league at United, to one per game at Real in the same competition. He wasn't only scoring a goal a game domestically while there. I'd say it was more a case of how well Real suited him and how the whole team were pretty much set out to create chances for him. He also went from being a number 7 to more of a number 9. He was also in his prime there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Ronaldo and Messi play in brilliant teams designed to get the best from them but they are genuinely massively superior to anything out there.

Carnivore Chris Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Just looked it up now and Messi has only scored 19 less career goals than Ronaldo despite playing in 127 less games. @Teso dos Bichos not only a better footballer, but scorer aswell On a serious note, the 2 players have ruined football in a way, as people will always be looking for the next 2 stars of this magnitude and the fact is it's almost impossible to play at such a high level for such a period of time. They were teenage sensations, yet have managed to carry on at the highest level into their 30s and still be the best 2 players in the world. Most greats were done and dusted at the age these 2 are now. It's been a great era they have played in aswell. We were lucky to witness it as football fans. Iniesta and Xavi, for example, are players I'll personally remember as much as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went 0.4 goals a game on average at United but I'd be surprised if he wasn't 0.75 or better in his last two years ... He was also at Madrid for the prime of his career.

That was pretty much my point to be honest mate, he was a young lad at United and not even in his prime then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
