be remembered for choking in 2014 instead of winning like Maradona. Ronaldo won a Euro from the bench and really has nobody in Portugal to compare himself to.

I feel like I hear people talk about Messi winning a World Cup to cement his

The real Ronaldo already won a World Cup. Cristino Ronaldo is a pretender.

You mean Fat Ronaldo already won. Cristiano is the real deal.

Put that Brazil team around Christiano and he’d win the WC too

imo, it is because he spurned Spain's offer for him to play for them.

I think it's because Messi is likable. Ronaldo, not so much.

Basically everyone already considers Messi the GOAT except for a few hold outs

Pele is the GOAT. Messi is #2

Hard to compare such different eras but Messi is better imo

Depends on definition of GOAT - long-term impact on the sport = Pele

Only 8 countries have won a World Cup all time

Agreed. No one expects Portugal to win.

And freaking Maradona was a selfish jerk coke head that cheated

Um, I don't think they will, but Portugal is a contender, dark horse this year

I said some of the best teams will never, I wasn’t singling any of those out

If Portugal ever were to win, this would be their best chance, best team ever

Fun fact, Portugal and England are 0-2-3 vs the US in 5 WC matches

Ronaldo has better stats internationally for his country than Messi does

IIRC, CR7 has scored in 5 different World Cups now. Durable and productive
