The penalties carried Argentina!!
They are some of the saddest excuse for gaters in the world. Completely unprofessional journalism
Espn is a joke plus they are Ronaldo haters people should stop watching them
I can't wait to see them eat their words when the Euro comes around. I wonder what excuse they are going to use then. Maybe ESPN will just ignore Portugal again if they do well. I hope Portugal wins so ESPN doesn't cover the Euros.
you all should shup your mouth.
Don't understand why the comparison. Both have proven themselves. Both in different continent. They are legends.
These ESPN buggers just can't catch a breath when Ronaldo scores. They keep barking his name and all Ronaldo does is silences them with his performances which stings them in their chest.
You guys are the worst I ever seen
Who's craig? Messi scores vs Bolivia, Venezuela, omg he's the great, you remove fifas help and it's 5 pk he would of gotten 0
Messi at psg where was the player 10 15 years ago? Ronaldo at juve, at Manu killed it don't compare the real goat cr7 to media goat
Who is Craig burly
Who are these cheap people?
Tell that when he scores 24 goals in the hardest league in the world at 37. But wait he cant cause he was retired at 37 and watching a young Ronaldo break records for Man United…
If this was Messi in qualifiers it would be a very different headline.
Playing in the Saudi League. He's having less stress about his playing time and also he's just having fun. He definitely was losing a step and you saw, he wasn't as sharp as before…..I mean he's 38!!!! But now he seems to be back to his old killer ways. It's incredible, he constantly reinvents himself.
Weren't these the same people who said robaldo can't reach 800 goals?
He has 859 now
He's better than your bloodlines
Comparing anyone to Messi is criminal
Whatever you people say about@cristrianoronaldo we true fans who love him believe him will be supporting every second and we know he will do what will need to be done for eurocup 2024 wait and watch
Come and watch Euro 2024… Ronaldo will prove you guys.
In 2022, he lost his baby and also lost his place in Manchester United due to some bald guy influence
He was mentally fed up both the things he love in his whole life.
Craig you even come to this panel if you suffered such a tragedy back to back
How come you guys expect him to play to his full potential
๐๐craig you are such a funny person you think you can score against these Luxembourg Slovakia Bosnia now…..then how come you scored just 3 goals in your whole international career ๐๐๐๐๐๐
Some times he forgets that google will give accurate stats of him๐๐๐๐๐
In your whole career you scored pity 40 goals…ronaldo outclassed you in just 2023 itself๐ ๐
So sad that craig cant able to run the show after 34 otherwise he would have won 5 uefa champions league and ballon d or on a trot
Bunch of clowns.
Because of ronaldo you guys are running the show. If there is not a person like him exist this panel would had been shutdown long back๐
Craig cant blatantly state ronaldo and portugal faces same teams in qualifiers because it isnt factual. Messi meanwhile does EVERY QUALIFIER. Luxembourg today are the best theyve been and that big win for portugal was actually shockingly bad. The only differnce now is that roberto martinez is a competent tactical manager whilst Fernando Santos just let them play like psg hoping big stars are individually problem solving and prayed to god theyd win, that is why Ronaldo and POrtugal are playing so well and smashing teams. I REALLY hope Portugal are contenders for Euro 2024 because WC 18, 22 and Euro 21 were disasters. Very Spursy of Portugal. Ronaldo since leaving toxic united is he has found emotional and mental tranquility.
Espn… such a Loser!
These guys used to make me angry because of their negativity towards Ronaldo until I realised that the poor guys have too much pain to see the man continuing to play and extend records! They hate the fact that it's him with the records and he is still extending them! They just want him to stop but he is continuing ๐
Pure ronaldo haters. Stupid fellas people are laughing at you ๐
Ronaldo has naturally declined due to age but still better than most strikers and remains international class. At 36 he scored more goals than Harry Kane in the premier league and was in the team of the year, despite being in a dreadful United team. He was clearly deeply affected by the passing of his daughter which undermined his performances during the World Cup. He is now in a better place and will be a big asset for Portugal at the Euros.
Whoโs gonna replace Ronaldo on the Portugal
From "he has a body of a 21 year old" to "he's 38 please respect him"
Social media always keeps the man relevant
The reason ESPN talks about Ronaldo ALL THE TIME…is because otherwise no one will watch them….Ronaldo it the GOAT
CLUB LEVEL – MESSI
INTERNATIONAL LEVEL- WORLD CHAMP
Debate?
Prolly DEB ate it
Unnecessary criticism for a guy who scored, what they want him to do…. Retire?
If Messi was European he scores thousand goals.
This is just a pro Messi channel
Either for club and country creg never gives cr7 the props he deserves what age did creg reitee????๐
I don't care if he's old, he still has the impact to win you games
Men who played their whole careers and achieved Nothing are Criticizing a player who is almost 40 and still scoring goals that no one in the history of their country has scored. The other guy played 50 games in his career and scored 4 goals๐ and he is Criticizing his god of football. Ronaldo plz Employ them to clean your toilets and get paid they are so poor and hungry bcos they failed in their football career.
I would love to see Ronaldo just come out from the back and just sit down and say absolutely nothing and see what they say then๐๐
ESPN are just hating on Christiano
Whoโs better as a striker than Ronaldo for Portugal??
They criticize him if he scores they criticize him if he doesnโt.
Highest goal scorer of the year, this punditry is so out of line itโs actually insane. ๐
All those guys are just frauds of pundits ,the unknown wants to be known by using CR7 name
Craig spoke facts today
