I remember him finally scoring, he didn’t celebrate as such, just counted the number of chances/attempts he’d had on his fingers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was warming up on the touch line when we were singing it, and he came on in the second half. I dont trust my memory one bit, it is shocking, but i trust Google ?

Zag zig Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Just about beat Ireland on his own in the last minute and extra time (though it was a great cross 1st goal and uncharacteristic of him, he missed an earlier penalty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dara O'Shea kicked the ball from the spot to waste time, and Ronaldo slapped him. In a VAR game, I'm surprised it wasn't spotted.

Bris Vegas Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Ronaldo breaks the international scoring record. But only 15% of his international goals have come against top 15 ranked sides. It obviously makes sense as World Cup and Euro qualifying are predominantly against crap teams, while Portugal are seeded at most international tournaments so they're not likely to play against another top side until the knockout stages. He's scored a combined 42 goals against just eight teams: Faroe Islands, Lithuania, Latvia, Andorra, Luxembourg, Hungary, Estonia, and Armenia. Five of those eight are ranked outside the top 100. None make the top 50. More than 50% of his goals have come against teams ranked outside the top 50. Some stats for you there for those that think he's the GOAT. I personally think he's the best player ever inside the box and in-between the posts. Anywhere else on the pitch and Lionel Messi is a better player. But goals are generally what people remember most. And Ronaldo right now is the leading scorer both at international level and in the Champions League.

He's always gone missing in the big games where Portugal actually need him. Even their spozzy Euro win was achieved with him on the side lines, marching up and down and giving it "ME ME ME" whilst his teammates did the work. In a way I'm pleased he's back at Untied as I can now go back to properly despising the club and their pathetic hangers on. Also, I'm surprised he can't deliver a better slap, considering what a bitch he is. Rev, Zag zig, Mostyn6 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll get at least 20 goals, probably more. Man Utd have an outstanding team, not sure if Ole is up to it. We’ll find out. No excuses this season. Man City have had a bit of a mare though. Grealish doesn’t massively improve them and they don’t have a centre forward. They’ll challenge Man Utd and Chelsea in the Prem, but I think the lack of a quality forward could cost them. He scored 1 goal in 75 free kick attempts for Juventus, was brought to then club to win the champions league and didn’t get near It (in fact for further away from It) and they didn’t even win the league this year….…..I would have done that.

Juventus only made top four last season on the final day because Napoli messed up and failed to win an easy home game. I know he won a couple of league titles in Italy, but you can hardly call his time there a resounding success. As you say, they became a worse team in Europe and his lack of cajones during Porto's free-kick goal showed him up big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
