Ronaldo doesn't claim he is the best of all time, it's just some people see somthing in a 23 YEAR OLD (Check Zidane's stats butt head at that age!!!) that most 23 year olds don't or can't accomplish such as scoring 75 goals (not including for country or friendlies!) for his club.

Ronaldo is not even in the top 10 of the greatest ball artists the game has ever seen.

He is not even fit to clean the boots of Ronaldinho and Zidane (just to mention the two most recent great players).

Even today, he is far behind Messi in terms of artistry…

Ronaldo is developing to be a VERY GOOD player but not yet a GREAT player…

I agree with the second paragraph on Ronaldo A, and you have a point. It does annoy me when he gets tackled and just gives up, expecting a foul. However i think it would be very arrogant to leave man u this early in his career after all fergie etc have done for him. Portugal, Spain, Holland and Germany in the quarter finals First of all, i’m a man united fan

Yes, he's an amazing player, but at ECC vs. Chelsea and in last Portugal game, they didn't say his name too much in the second half. Sometimes great players don't show up.

Btw, yep, have seen him a fair few times in real life for club and country (George Best too). Certainly seems as if the great man has a lot of admirers from non-Man U and Portugal fans and that takes some doing in these partizan days. I would like nothing better than for him to score nine goals as Portugal waltz to the title. We could have done with him in France v Romania.
