DEBATE: Did Cristiano Ronaldo cost Portugal at the World Cup?

Notice how in the interview he keeps using "I" instead of "we" as a team totally going back on his last records for himself 🤐

For the first in decades I can now watch the world cup without worrying whether Argentina will be knocked out or not. At this point I don't care who wins it😂😂😂

So many stars at the peak of their powers were sacrificed for the ego of an old footballer.

Honestly, nobody is ready to do Ronaldo and Messi conversation Leo Messi is on a different level..

He’s also the first player to lose 6 world cups and only to score 1 knockout goal in 6 tournaments

Ronaldo's best chance of winning this world cup was from the bench!!

When you play only for yourself not for the team or the country how can you want others player playing for you?

Leave football before football leaves you.

As a Messi fan, Starting Ronaldo was understandable but keeping him on for the whole 90 mins was dumb! And lady in red has ball knowledge too surprisingly. She mentioned something too, maybe Ronaldo talks to divert criticism from the team🤷‍♂

Martinez did, he didn’t have a balls to drop Ronaldo.

When a player says his country achieved nothing before him, that tells you all you need to know. He will be a great goal scorer, that's all.. nothing more nothing less. Stop the comparison to messi.. who is on a different planet.

Ronaldo only stayed on for the whole game for one reason, because he is Ronaldo he couldn't run, if the ball was not within a yard of him be did not even bother. This was without doubt were a player is bigger than the team.

Messi corrected the idea that to be great you have to hype yrself, and be loud about it.... U can juss excell at wat you do, without running yr mouth, an when it's time to be set aside... Its easier for people to do so, because you won't expected to complain

Chris Sutton was 100% correct. The fact is that he doesn't even score goals anymore. His goals against lowly Uzbekistan were his first open play goals for Portugal in major tournaments in 5 years.

SO BASICALLY RONALDO THINKS PORTUGAL IS NOTHING WITHOUT HIM....

Ronaldo scored 1 goal in 5 matches in 2022. He was past it 4 years ago.

Messi is already the best goal scorer considering he’s like 50 behind but played 160 games less

Let's do a proper autopsy: pros and cons The guy scored from open play against Uzbekistan, a former ussr republic, his hunting ground. Other than that, he just scored a penalty in one other match. Let's say he wasn't brought to the wc and omit those goals. What would happen to prortugal? They'd still win against Uzbekistan, and probability wise, they'd still score that other penalty. On the flip side, they'd have had another striker, who runs, presses and contribute more for the team.

I, I , I won , I won, I won ... that's what cost Portugal. Team is better , selfishness kills a team.

Those Portugal players are excellent players but they are not stupid. Why win and let cr7 claim all the credit?
