I cant imagine Ronaldo scoring less in any other league, if hes the centerpiece of the strategy, which is the way it would be anyway. the guy is essentially the perfect goalscorer, his athletic abilities are off the charts unlike anyone else, he has maximum goalscoring technique in terms of first touch, finishing, shooting. And he has unmatched instinct, he is opportunistic, insanely determined, obsessed with scoring. He had a shit game against Juve and he still scored. He wasnt even the best player today, Modric, Xabi Alonso, Benzema were better, but he got a hattrick. He doesnt need to play well to score. Unlike Messi, he isnt dependent on the system. He will get his numbers one way or another, hes just a freak of nature. The fodder opposition argument doesn't stand. Anywhere he would play he would have similar numbers. and he needs to be given the golden ball because he deserves it.

This is going to be fun either way.

If Ronaldo doesn't get the balon d'or: everyone will know it's a bs prise as Ronaldo was obviously the best this year.
If Ronaldo does get it: He won't be at the event :lol: How will they handle that?

he scored 3 vs jube and got cheloni sent off. thats quite a feat in my book

ive never said he's nything but a top 2 footballer in the world.


my only point is both he and messi are scoring video game numbers inflated by joke competition.

It's not like if he only scored 40 in a season, he wouldn't be absolutely amazing.

they score video game numbers in the CL as well.

cristiano has 43 goals in 44 games in the CL with madrid.


if di natale can score nearly 60 goals in 2 seasons, I'm confident cristiano and messi would rip serie A apart.

Joke competition is BS of course... but la liga gives the right environment for those type of numbers.

I agree but I think it's more an issue of Real and Barca having video game squads than anything else. You go waaaay down the line from the starting xi and you get MANY players that would START for many top teams. Fucking Pedro is a GREAT player who's only crime is that he's on the same team with Neymar. Look at how well Real's rejects do elsewhere Ozil, Sneijder, Kakà etc. Fabregas was a great youth player from the la masia who was basically the best CM in the prem.

So when you combine these fantasy teams, they can't help but score. If to go along with CR and Messi's. 40 's there were several high or mid. 30 's then you'd have a case. But the drop off past the world's best two is steep

lollll

u think?
Idk man, what if he... improves even further? :eek:

Like what if he starts scoring 4 goals every game, instead of 3?

Very scary thought. But Cristiano comforts me at the same time.

CR7 basically told Zlatan:
You're beaten. Stay down
