Not to derail this CR7 thread, but after the match against Spain, Buffon labelled Brazilian Ronaldo as the best he has ever faced. He said, "Ronaldo, the Brazilian one...He was the perfect player, as he had power, speed, intuition technical skills and quickness. He was a jaw-dropping player. It seemed like he was created in a lab." http://www.marca.com/en/football/international-football/2017/09/04/59ad779622601d451a8b45e9.html
Yes, I know about Mahdavikia. I have a blog post on Iran's All-Time Team. I did not want to self-promote and made no mention of it earlier. Basically, I googled-translate from Iranian source. I probably copied from one or two sources. I know the players who played overseas. http://soccerfootballwhatever.blogspot.hk/2014/12/iran.html
I know his attitude was childish in the summer I get it, but if he would've left this summer, with Benz getting injured, would have been nightmare type stuff. Of course things would all be different, so many different factors, but still scary
I only bought one Ronaldo's "product".... an Adidas jersey! He should be entitled a cut from Real Madrid for the adidas jersey, right? People probably bought more Messi's Barcelona Nike jersey than anything else endorsed by him. PS: I have no plan to buy his underpants.

Cristiano 🔥 sending Vazquez + Llorente back to La Fabrica & handing Keylor a one-way ticket back to Costa Rica. pic.twitter.com/351NQsBLCh— M•A•J (@UltraSuristic_) September 12, 2017 Holy shit!!!! Dude is in blistering form. Pity it got wasted these last few weeks and we paid a big price. Sick moves.
I was never beastly but I did pretty well in track/cross country (so not a coach potato but not a pro athlete either) and now in the lower end of my 20's I feel like my body is falling apart. It takes something other than "hard work" or "good genes" to do what Ronaldo can do at almost 33. I've been dying to ask him what the secret is.
Cristiano Ronaldo leads by example. 💪 pic.twitter.com/4v4fxd4VAm— B/R Football (@brfootball) September 13, 2017
