Siempre CR7

But assuming it’s not a massive cope by fanboys who haven’t been used to this amount of pushbacks in their lives, they should learn about the Barbara Streisand effect.

Winning Euro 2016 made Ronaldo so many enemies it’s still insane to think of it.

Immediately, that’s less impressive since even the lowliest third goalkeeper can call himself World Cup champion, isn’t it ? And as time passes, the names get harder to remember.

It takes a big football nerd to quote more than 100 names without looking.

And yet, everyone knows Eric Cantona, Johann Cruyff or Cristiano Ronaldo and only rage-baiters and idiots would deny their legacies. Some people even know Beckham (but I don’t want to go there 😜)

None of the Spanish forwards of Sunday are better than Prime!Neymar.

FIFA wants people to think that tournament matters to greatness because they want to be seen as the gatekeeper of greatness and to have people watch commercials around their product.

CR7, Mbappé and Messi all faced Spain and didn’t score, yet it was only Old Man Cristiano who had shots on target but mysteriously 🙄, it’s the Golden Child who had the better score

And of course who paid them the most to fill their coffers 😜

« European teams are busy !! » really. No one in Africa (Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, for exemple) were available, only Mauritania and Zambia ? No one in Asia (Japan, South Korea, Australia) were available in 4 years? No other team in America like the US or even Mexico wanted to have a big game with the then-WC champion ? In four years ?Or did the Golden child not want to work hard for his record or be embarrassed?

The second they met even Egypt, a team they should have handily beaten just by the strength of the squad , they were pressed out of their comfort zone and had to be shamelessly bailed out.

Trying to get Cucurella expulsed on a lie was *chief kiss*.

They came ready, unlike 2022.
