    I was just thinking the same I've been a huge critic and i'm a united fan:o

    Best player in the world now, bar none. The first 12 minutes or so of this game will confirm that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,908 ✭✭✭Daysha


    Don't listen to the nay-sayers people.

    This guy is the best player in the world.

    Right now, on current form, I would say no. I wouldn't swap him for anyone at all - not Messi, and not even the fabled golden boy of world football Kaka. The lad is awesome.

    On the other hand though, what the HELL is up with his hair - going to the same blind stylist as Eagles?

    I know, he is making all of us eat our words. And i dont care what any of the other liverpool fans say, they all think the same as me.

    Oh dont get me wrong, i still hate him


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 10,259 ✭✭✭✭Melion


    Oh christ, another free kick in the same place. He'll prob hammer this into the wall like the good old days

    can we change the title of this thread to "The Official Cristiano Ronaldo thread" and make every person who wants to write about this guys brilliance to say it here, cos how many threads have we had on this guy.... even tongue in cheek (i hope) calls for a Cristiano "Viper" Ronaldo forum.

    He is the best in the world.

    i didnt like him at the start, flash arrogant git with no end product etc... but he scares the **** out of defences in every game he plays now. If Dunphy can admit he was wrong about Ronaldo so can we all. He is brilliant

    I think not winning World Player of the Year just pissed him off and has given him extra motivation to prove everyone wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,907 ✭✭✭Badabing


    Great player him and kaka top 2 in the world, but jasus Portsmouth are crap.

    I dont think he deserved to win it, Kaka and Messi were better IMO last year.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,430 ✭✭✭Sizzler


    Major LOL at James after the free kick went in....his shrug of the shoulders said it all :)I actually thought Souness and Redknapp were going to take their pants off at Half Time they were that giddy about Ronaldo!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,372 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    He needs to stop scoring. He's making me cry on a weekly basis. I used to think he was sh*t, and massively overrated 2-3 years ago (largely because he was), but he's sorted out the wastefulness from his game and I don't think even the most ardent United hater would argue against Ronaldo being at least one of the top 3 players in the world.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 729 ✭✭✭scruff321


    yeah must say he is the best player in the world at the moment, hes just that type of player that people love to hate, my only critic of him is that he has a habit of diving and hes a little cry baby :rolleyes:, having said that he has taken alot of stickand it just seems to roll off his back and he plays even better..john giles eamon dunphy lol lol lol lol,used to respect giles opinion now i just think he feels that nobody or nothing is as good as the old days


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,103 ✭✭✭estebancambias


    Meh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,322 ✭✭✭Mad_Max

    He scores goals by the bucket load AND races sports cars! ... Im now convinced he is some form of alien.

    Amazing player. I think in a bit I'll pull up all the old discussions about how Ronaldo should be given time to perfect his free kicks, and pretty much nobody agreed with me :)
