QUOTE (kurtsimonw @ Nov 8 2008, 04:36 PM)  2-1, Rafael. 6 minutes added on now, are they going to throw it away again!?
WHo the hell is that Rafael kid anyway? He's terrible. What the ****, you just said he scored! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) QUOTE (zdrossoneri @ Nov 8 2008, 05:04 PM)  And another poor performance in a big game by Ronaldo... I don't think he was poor, he had a decent game. QUOTE (zdrossoneri @ Nov 8 2008, 05:20 PM)  Yes they all were on their bad day today. but superstars are meant to make the differences on these occasions. shining when your whole teammates are doing great is much easier. winning the games single handedly when your teammates are playing like crap is something I'm still not convinced Ronaldo is capable of. He is still young. People expect too much of him. For example, Porty claims he's "clearly the best player in the world". I certainly disagree. He's the best there is when it comes to killing mid/low-quality teams but in my opinion it is in the bigger games where one wins that tag. And in the big games he is not better than the greatest players of this era; Kaka, Messi, Xavi, Ibra, Casillas, ... but he is still 23... I don't remember Zidane being better at this age and he is the best player I've ever seen! Tevez and Berbatov? I'd give a lot for the Argentinian and I would give **** for Berbatov!

QUOTE (zdrossoneri @ Nov 8 2008, 03:31 PM)  They paid £30 for Tevez too?? gee! He's on a two year loan at the moment I think, they're going to buy him for £30m afterwards though.

Unfortunately when rating players, scoring one goal every now and then and playing shite for the other 95 minutes doesn't usually mean you're any good.

I don't remember Zidane being better at this age and he is the best player I've ever seen! I think this big game thing is inaccurate, as far as I know he has a decent record against the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, then he scored in the CL Final, not sure what people want from him to be honest. In any case, I don't think it is the big games these stars need to be good in, we know all too well with Milan that it's easy for players to be really up for it in the big games, but it's against the small teams that we've often struggled against, United rarely have that problem with Ronaldo on there team, he shows up for them games.

Decent game? yes. decent game for someone who is to win all the individual awards in one month's time, someone who scored 42 goals last season, someone who is considered by many the best player in world right now, etc.? IMO not at all. he was average like most of his teammates. And we're talking about now, not 5 years later! I say if he's that good why he fails to make an impact in big games regularly? Besides Messi is two years younger than Ronaldo and has already shined in many big games.

Non sense. Ronaldo is 10 times more regular than Messi will ever be. Messi is as regular as Robben.
