I wonder why people feel so sickened by Ronaldo? Have you met him? I suppose not, so the bias is based on the fact that you dislike a person acting his worth, knowing it aswell?
The fact that the guy is just TOO succesful is always the problem. Also why people hate Lance. He was impressive the first year or 2 but after that we tend to call him arrogant, because he is dedicated, and knows how he should act to be the best he possibly can.
And to be honest I see a guy like Lance being much more "arrogant" than Cristiano. You hardly ever see a sincere smile on the face of Lance because he is dedicated and focussed in everything he does. Cristiano seems to enjoy playing football every second. That he falls over and cries like a small child from one time to another is a problem, but come on. The guy is a fantastic player and I've seen nothing that shouldn't make me like him, except for the fact that he can do all the things I always dreamed of without as much as breaking a sweat.
I hate Ronaldo because of his arrogance. Have I met him? No, so the only thing I have to judge him is the way he acts either playing football and when he is interviewed. When he is playing football he absolutely always want everything to focus HIM. He's exaggerating everytime to have the cameras on him.
Also, you're not in Spain, and you don't have to suffer to have him everywhere. It's sickening.
And please, stop with the stupid argument of "the fact he's too successful is the problem". That's BULLSHIT. Messi is more successful, and I only have admiration for him. Why? Because he's not a stupid arrogant. And, to avoid to be called biased, Casillas is also a pretty normal guy, although I don't like him as a player.
It was when C.Ronaldo was still young and upcoming and not a big player at all when I disliked him.
His classical '7 scizzor - trip over your own feet - pretend it is a foul - then cry like a baby'-move was what ignited the spark. Never liked him since then, and then he was still a Sporting Lissabon player!
I hate Ronaldo because he acts like an extra from Platoon
Messi is by far the best player in the world - and for those who say Ronaldo was the best player a few seasons ago - nonsense - Messi's been like this for several seasons now
Well in his deffence most of those falls would've been quite painful if he wasn't a sublime diver. He knows just when to fall in order for it to look horrible, without being really touched. Several of the cases could've caused really harsh tackles if he hadn't thrown himself 1/10 of a second before contact.
Look at the rounding goalkeeper thing f.x. There obviously isn't any contact, but the keeper blocks him from getting to the ball without being close to reaching the ball at all. No matter if there is contact or not it's a clear penalty. If Ronaldo doesn't jump himself he is tormented to the ground half a second later...

Imo Messi is more succesful right now. Not for the past 3 years. And Messi is a special guy. He isn't arrogant at all. Look at the likes of Figo, Zidane and such players.
They know they are good and get's sick of being interviewed every single second. Imo Figo and Zidane were much more arrogant.
I won`t say that i hate Ronaldo, but he is definitly not my favorite player
Best moment was a scene between him and Iniesta. Ronaldo acts a little too much like a lot of times and was attacked by iniesta quite hard that especially Ronaldo shouldn`t cry after every scene. Ronaldo looked like he had to cry, it was awesome and all the spectators were celebrating Iniesta for that, standing ovations...
But the fact is that he is a really good player and he shot important goals like the one against Lyon, ok it didn`t helped in the end but it egalized the result in this moment.
Or the 2 goals in semi final last CL season. Of course Messi is better in my eyes but even if you can`t stand him I wouldn`t write that isn`t really important for his team because he showed he is often enough.
One question I've been askin' myself for two days nows is :
Is it because of SNCF strike here in France that FC Barcelona had to travel to Milano and Lyon will be traveling to Munich tomorrow ?
Because I found that trains are normally working in France, at least for the big lines ...
The other question is why did some riders of Ardennes Classics travel to Netherlands by car ?
Couldn't they book trains ?
It's really hard to understand why they don't use trains instead of buses.
But maybe is there a simple reason I don't manage to get.
Best damn Inter I've ever seen. Not anywhere near having the best players I've seen in an Inter shirt, but by far the best team. Awesome.

If it didn't happen that Benitez was, is and will be my f*cking God forever, Mourinho would be the closest to that atm. He is awesome. It's incredible how much has improved Inter since his arrival. Fantastic.

Mourinho's turning into my God. Can't wait to see him at Man United
He seems to be the first manager in 5 (?) years or so to throw away the Serie A title though, and with his history in mind I wouldn't be surprised if he lost the CL final
