He obviously can't do it without Eder carrying his ass.Ronaldo has played 514 minutes of football in the knockout stages of the World Cup, but has failed to score or provide an assist.

hahaha talk about being third wheel

Not even an assist...no way.Ronaldo has played 514 minutes of football in the knockout stages of the World Cup, but has failed to score or provide an assist.
I saw some people saying he was just trying to get him off the field, and maybe that's true, but Ronaldo seems like a good dude tbh.
Anyways I hate these GOAT talks, both Messi and Ronaldo are fantastic players. We're lucky to witness them play.
Messi is still superior in almost every which way and that makes him the GOAT for me, Ronaldo is easily a top 15 of all time though.I consider myself fortunate for having watched these 2 geniuses play for a decade and a half. I doubt we'll ever see 2 players of this caliber perform at this level for so long at the same time.
In Ronaldo's case, a player that has pulverized almost every record in the book, watching people trying to downplay his achievements while grasping at straws to find some random statistic to supports their petty insignificant agenda is actually funny and amusing, but also quite sad.
Here's to Mbappé and other up and coming world class players, may they give us lots of fantastic football for many years to come.

harry kane gonna have more world cups than messi or ronaldo.
the goat everyone
Thats what we've been doing this whole thread
You mean the one involving a pk and a massive fuck up from de Gea?
Messi scored a better goal than all of his combined, add the assists in the knockout stage and it is overkill. Messi gave his team a chance, Ronaldo did not.He had a better World Cup than messi his 6th ballon d'or is secured.
Truth is, several players are having better World Cup runs than Ronaldo.
You got out in the Round of 16 and your goals will be a footnote. Cavani and Mbappe is all anybody cares about right now.
Them be the breaks.
The nickname Criminaldo is so apt yet creative.THIS TITLE CHANGE. LIFEGIVING. INSPIRING.
Thank you for not subjecting my eyes to this thread any longer.
Spoiled a match result too this shit. BYEEEEEEE CRIMINALDO!!!
If Neymar starts playing and Brazil wins it, it is possible thay he can get. But he would really need like 6 goals in 4 matches for that to happen - unlikely.He had a better World Cup than messi his 6th ballon d'or is secured.
As for the World Cup itself, I can not disagree here. Suarez, Cavani, Mbappe, Modric and Coutinho have easily had better tournaments, let alone the legend that is Harry Kane.
Hurrying Cavani off the pitch was the only positive thing Criminaldo did all match
If you think that's the end of it, you would be very wrong. People are going to be uselessly debating this point for decades.Im glad both Argentia and Portugal were out. no more of this Messi vs CR
Yes
If you never scored or made an assist in elimination phase of a world cup, that's the most damning thing.
I'm not anyone's fan. Both Messi and Ronaldo were let down by bad sides, Argentina was trash all over, had no strategy and couldn't figure out what to do at any point in the tournament (although according to rumors you could lay down the strategy problems at Messi's feet) and Ronaldo had no help up front which is why Uruguay was able to put their whole team in front of him every time he touched the ball.
I'm not a Ronaldo fan and don't consider him the greatest but only 8 countries have ever won the World Cup and there are a lot of countries out there. It's more advantageous to play for some countries than others and no one has any say where they're born. George Best played for Northern Ireland who would never win anything but he's still one of the greatest ever.
What the hell man. Ronaldo and Messi will never win the world cup single-handedly. You can't do that anymore, the game has changedI think hyperbole is too prevalent.
Ronaldo is one of the best.
Messi is one of the best.
But to be TRULY the best, you need to be better than all others. The only way is if you can do what everyone did, and do it better. Including winning a world cup. How can you say you're the best when you didn't win a world cup and there's 11 at least other men who have?
