    Yup

    The rumors about his first choice being Napoli turned out to be true too.

    Funny cause the headlines on the Monday after the the wc final were all about Ronaldo. He's bigger than US steel

    Probably because Napoli is southern and has way better weather. I wonder how Ronaldo is going to fair in the cold in Turin during the winter. It's pretty rough. I would hate to play in a place like Turin if i was a footballer.

    See that's why the "Messi has never left Barcelona" argument kills me. I've been to Barcelona...it's gorgeous, coastal, historical, and the weather is fantastic.

    you guys know what to do

    https://www.fifa.com/the-best-fifa-...er/?_branch_match_id=439513373339213670#login

    The ten-man shortlist for The Best FIFA Men’s Player 2018 award - based on their respective achievements during the period from 3 July 2017 to 15 July 2018 inclusive - has been compiled by a panel of FIFA Legends.

    You, the fans, now have a say and can vote for your personal top three (First choice: 5 points, second choice: 3 points and third choice: 1 point). The fan vote will be equally weighted alongside the votes of other key members of the footballing community - namely journalists, national team coaches and captains. The three finalists for each award will be revealed at a later date, with all award winners revealed at The Best FIFA Football Awards show in London on 24 September.

    german ref? english assistant?

    probably the most criminal call.......in a long while

    don't forget, the bundesliga and the PL were the most butthurt about cristiano's move to Juventus. They were insulted that he chose Italy over them....So much that owners over there were talking crap about him and Juventus. They see Serie A as their rival and hate everything about Italian football.

    Can they dispute against the red card and reinstate Ronaldo back as a starter in the next champions league game?

    Ronaldo shouldn’t have put his hands on the dudes head. It’s not a red but he has no one to blame but himself.

    This is true. The world is unfair, so you don’t give people the power to ******** with your life. People hate him and are jealous of him because of his success. He should know better not to give people of authority any power to dictate his life on and off the pitch. He was lucky to only get a yellow for the elbow when playing against Iran. Maybe this red card is good for Portugal in a competitive game with Ronaldo in the future.

    Yeah, well, tons of people were convinced he should've gotten a straight red against Iran for inadvertently grazing a defender's neck with his arm while using a swim move to get by the guy (who was fouling him). People are stupid.

    I will say Ronaldo was being dumb in this case. Want to know the best way to avoid a red card for frustratedly grabbing at an opponent's hair? Don't grab at your opponent's hair. It was a soft, stupid red...but damn, just don't do it, Cristiano.

    It's a joke award. You are awarded for your team(s) contributions instead of your individual contributions.

    Individually, Modric is #3 of that bunch.

    1.) Ronaldo
    2.) Salah
    3.) Modric

    I think Salah matched Cristiano last season, though.

    True. I think everyone is just sick and tired of CR7/Messi gobbling up all the best player trophies in the last decade.

    But that’s no reason not to give it to them.

    Objectively, for Madrid, Modric took a step back in 2017/18 and for Croatia, Rakitic was their best player.

    I don’t see a need to give an award to someone just because their teams do well.

    I agree but then, what is the reason to give it to Modric? Just seems so strange.
