The Cristiano Ronaldo Thread [R] Part 8: " O Melhor Jogador Do Mundo"...for Man Utd at least.

Wpoy 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Justice did prevail here.
Great for him he deserved it, I doubt a repeat is in order soon.

 

seems like messi is on track to win 2009

2010 will go to whoever wins the world cup, which definitely wont be Portugal.

so 2011/12 he might be able to win it again...well have to see but congrats to him he is a great player and already is a legend.

 

Wasn't Pele saying Ronaldo wasn't the best player during the season last year..lol..He kept saying Kaka, Robinho were better.

Pele is a mess...lol

 

Pele always said Ronaldo deserved to win it this season, never heard him say anything different even before the Brazil vs Portugal game I watched on TV the brazilian announcers ask him who was better he said he prefers kaka but this season ronaldo has been the best.

it was funny when he announced ronaldo's name, he said that last year he told ronaldo that he would win the award next season and thats what happened.

 

Hes conquered the world. Only thing that is left is the Euro and WC.

 

yeah well euro and WC definitely wont happen unfortunately.

 

Hopefully he'll realize that the only thing left to achieve is a title with the Portuguese NT.

 

Thats very pessimistic dude!!!

 

Ama ou odeia Cristiano Ronaldo?

our team needs to improve seriously before we have a shot at the WC

Ronaldo's best chance to win something with Portugal will be euro 2012 because hopefully by then we get a solid keeper, DM, LB, and striker.

wc 2010 is already a write off, 2014 is in brazil after that ronaldo will probbaly be old news.

hey is that white vinho de Madeira in that other pic Z? Never had that before.

 

nope its a drink call poncha that they drink in madeira its moonshine with sugar cane and some juice.

 

Might be but its very realistic considering how we've played recently.

All these countries have won some sort of championship except us.... Talent but no glory.

 

If you get a chance to watch “Prós E Contras” on RTP I this week – do.

They talked about C Ronaldo’s awards and part of it was on the state of soccer in Portugal. Some very good points were brought up.

And of course he called the program while it was airing.

 

I've made that statement here many times.
100 people buy tickets * $20 = $2000
100 people buy concessions * $10 = $1000
Total = $3000

200 people buy tickets * $10 = $2000
200 people buy concessions * $10 = $2000
Total = $4000

It's simple accounting. But these marketing genioussous don't get it.

The SuperLiga has lost a generation - this generation because dear old dad can't buy tickets to take his son to the game. So his son sits at home and watches the EPL.
So, this generation will not be taking their kids to any of the games because there is no tradition.

They should be using this fame from C Ronaldo and building up the portuguese game.
Take the dedication that C Ronaldo has shown and instill some of the pride back into our game.
Forget about the top three Porto, Benfica, and Sporting - start supporting the smaller teams so that way all of them grow together. Build a stronger league - just like Ronaldo elevates the play of those around him by including them.

 

Sounds interesting! Almost like a Caipirinha.

This whole state of portuguese futebol is kind of depressing there are so many things wrong it's hard to look for positives.

 

If anyone is interested, the program can be viewed in its entirety here:
