>after winning the league he gets fat and lazy, tanks the team so hard they implode for years. they win 2 consecutive leagues once they ship him out

what did nostalgiafags mean by this?

>2002
>Ronaldo's prime

So who is the actual GOAT striker?

Suarez

you read too much wikipedia

What happened at the barber?

club leagues mean shit, world cup is where it is at

>its another episode of the romanian cristiano ronaldo's boyfriend talks shit he doesn't know about the better ronaldo.

Yup. His prime was some time before the '98 World Cup final. Obviously he got very good again after, but not AS good.

this

If you look into the context of all this he was extremely unlucky. His time at PSV just happened to coincide with the Ajax CL winning dream team, and once he left Ajax sold off most of their stars.

At Barca there's not much more he could have done, Real we're too good that year. The following season they finished about 15 worse off but won the title because Real dropped off massively and finished 4th on 63 points, 29 points less than in Ronaldo's season.

At Inter he carried them on his own all season, and only refball stopped them from winning over a dominant Juve. And they improved because they were a totally different side to the one he played in, they spent a lot of money during the early 2000s.

At Real the whole team became a mess, you can't really pin it on him, and those 2 years they won the league Barca were in a transition period.

I bet his wife is happy [spoiler]because he always cums second[/spoiler]

RAISE IT

I like how there's nothing after that '02 season, must've broken him and the whole team in general.

2001 was his year lad

2comfy

this man was awarded honorary dutch citizenship in 2002

High-quality low-quality post

Congrats Germant

Rooney

kek

Ballack was even worse that season, scoring the second most goals in the Bundesliga in addition to the Leverkusen 2nd places. But he won titles with Bayern and Chelsea afterwards.

Best striker ever. Period. 19 year olds need to fuck off.

>Still manage to win 2 WC in an injury ravaged career
>Literally playing on one good knee

>2 WC
I love Ronaldo but counting that 94 WC is laughable, he was a cheerleader.

Don't forget the only reason France won the WC was they poisoned him.

Meh, 2002 WC was the worst ever. Brasil didn't play anybody important, even that Germany team was the worst in German history, prior to the tournament their goal was just getting past the group stage, that's how bad they were and they acknowledged that with very limited expectations.

Also, Ronaldo was very irregular and overall unsuccesful at club level. It wouldn't make my list of Top 10 forwards

And this is exactly what I meant. He didn't make his teams any better or any more succesful at all.

Thank you Romania bro.

>0 (zero) Champions Leagues
>only 2 (two) domestic European league titles

shouldn't you, ya know, win some trophies in order to be considered "great"?

underrated

Don't forget all the refball going on.

That German team was terrible, for sure.

>you now remember that the final vs Brazil was 0-0 at halftime and Germany hit the post in the second half before Brazil scored at all

That might've been the kekiest kek result of all keks... after 7-1 of course

>you will never see Xavi make everyone around him better again
>you will never see Pippo Inzaghi score the winning goal after being offside five times again
>you will never see Maldini make the best strikers in the world look like ghosts again
>you will never see Makelele be literally everywhere for 90 minutes again

kek pathetic

stay salty

Face it macaco, what normally happens when meme Brasil plays France, Argentina, Holland, Germany, Italy, etc in a WC?

You only win those by playing Turkey, Ecuador, Sweden....

You had me until the last sentence

How so? We win 94 against Italy, 02 against Germany, etc.

kek what the fuck are you talking about Mr. One-Semifinal?

>again
isn't it past your bedtime gramps?

Not going into prehistoric times, this would be my list of best 9s:

1. Van Basten
2. Romario
3. Vieri
4. Batistuta
5. Del Piero
6. Rummenigge
7. Weah
8. Ibrahimovic
9. Suker
10. Maybe Ronaldo, but probably not if I think harder about it.

Romario that high. Oh dear me

you really don't know shit about football huh

kill your pathetic self

Ronaldo unironically destroys everysingle one of them

Shearer.

If you disagree, you probably havent seen Romário play.

>le tap in king

You proplaby didnt saw ronaldo playing

Romário was a fucking meme.

20 years in Brazil and 1 national title. What a joke.

>tap in king
Confirmed for underage.

Todo mundo sabe que o Romário adorava uma banheira.

Agora sim você se entregou como underage. O Romário banheirudo "Rei da Grande Área" só apareceu depois dos 30. Até a época em que ele retornou ao Flamengo o futebol dele era um absurdo, o que ele jogou no Vasco, PSV e Barcelona poucos atacantes na história jogaram.

Romário, o terror do Olaria e América-RJ.

T.Henry

Sempre foi. Mesmo na época do Barcelona.

>he didn't finished runner up at the Euros
Shame, he could have had the complete set.

>Belgium with Wilmots
>Englel with A. Cole, Ferdinand, Beckham, Owen and Scholes
>Germany with Kahn, best player of the cup

Sure, m8

The fact that you had to cherrypick Wilmots and act like he was a good player says enough about World Cup.

By far the easiest route to the trophy in WC history.

I'm not denying this desu

MVB is the only one that compares. The rest are a few levels below Ronaldo. I mean, Suker? Fucking really?

Also Del Piero was a 10, not a 9

Lmao

The best part? Their biggest challenge was the two matches against fucking Turkey.
