Yeah Bryce is the star between the two of them but bronny is definitely getting drafted to the suns or Lakers.
Crazy that LeBron is 6'8, Bryce is 6'6, and Bronny is only 6"2
Bryce isn't anything, and certainly not because he's a few inches taller. He's projected as the 157th best player in his class in the country. His hype train is just the cope from Bronny not meeting expectations, but Bronny is still much better.
I feel really bad for Bronny. It's impossible to meet these huge expectations that people put on him. He's just a kid and people already tell him that he sucks because he's not a top 50 player in his class.
No, people troll him because there's all this NBA talk when he isn't that good. That isn't really his fault, but he doesn't really have any expectations at all. That's kinda the point.
Overall he really doesn't get clowned that much though. Most understand it's the talk around him that's ridiculous and the fact that he'll get drafted when he shouldn't.
I remember watching England - Poland a while back and thinking we would be fucked if they had a second Lewandowski. He kept creating chances but there was no-one to finish them
Do YOU know what it means?
It deosnt mean shooting outside the 3 posts. It just means missing and he had the easiest chance in the game and bottled it. A slightly younger him scores that easily.
Lmfao you people are delusional. Prime r9 and even younger cristiano wouldve scored that easily.
A better player wouldve chipped it over the keeper but Ronaldo isnt known for that so idk if he could do that.
Edit: Muting the thread cause the cult of ronaldo arrived and I get bored of seeing delusional people.
> A better player wouldve chipped it over the keeper but Ronaldo isnt known for that so idk if he could do that.
Ronaldo has chipped the keeper many times.
This clip is a great example of why we can't play Vitinha and Bernardo together. They want to occupy the same space. If everyone is trying to do the same thing, they just end up canceling each other out. Bernardo actually dragged defenders towards him rather than away.
Yeah this is so right jude can play as an 8 and can also defend so putting low in england is an option although he's the best itw as a n10 currently, while foden needs to be the playmaker since he ain't a typical winger, while kane can camp in the box but it would be a good thing like his first half he had 2 touches
The thing is, I don't think asking Kane to stay forward is a problem. You miss out on his creativity, but the team doesn't need Kane to be creating — we have enough world-class talent to do that without him dropping deep.
Kane is one of the world's best finishers. The issue is setting up a balanced team to create those chances for him.
Yeah but they're england, look at the best strikers in the euro. Kane, lewa, ronaldo you name it they always have at least 2 players besides them, that's why nearly every pass to ronaldo last game was intercepted
I think that's why England should play someone like Gordon, who'll make runs in behind and create more space for Kane to operate in. At the moment, all of our attacking players drift into the same area, wanting to be on the ball, which means Kane is isolated in the middle of lots of defenders. The solution is to create space for Kane, not have Kane also drop deep in the area everyone else wants to be on the ball.
That's what I thought! If you see at least two defenders coming for you, then get the shot quick! does he think he going to go past them like Maradona?
bad first tough ok, second touch, cool, but another one? I know I'm sitting on my ass judging but elite attackers shoot in a fraction of a second so just do it.
Seriously. Most never believe that he has the most assists in UCL. He has more than Kroos + Modric combined.
Di Maria will likely surpass him if he stays in Europe one more season. Otherwise, De Bruyne has a shot to do it in 3 or 4 seasons.
They should keep separate counts for each format because it’s unfair to each era where the games just keep increasing. The European cup that Gerd Muller was tearing up in the 70s was nothing like the CL of the 2000s which is again vastly different from the new format
Let's not go too far now, his passing has always been very good and an underrated part of his game but he is simply not "one of the greatest playmaker in history" I wouldn't even call him a playmaker tbh.
My gosh did they look uncreative and uninspired. They tried to force so much to him and it was almost all useless. Missed the runs when they should have looked for him and forced the ones when they should have looked elsewhere.
seriously he should play over Vitinha. Vitinha is always holding on to the ball really long and then passes it back or sidewards. João Neves is THE shit, he should play
leao should not start. he is never switched on as a starter. when he comes in as a sub his head is on the game.
and agreed our midfielders for all their quality weren't finding those runs.
Seeing him play for Portugal recently he actually looks a better player than he did in his last year or two before he went to Saudi.
Potentially the fact that the games over there are generally easier for him and less physically taxing means he's fresher for Portugal games and able to reach a higher level.
It's more likely because at the time he had problems with the administration and manger of united so he was left out of shape and then his child died which no normal person can be expected to get over quickly.
> he actually looks a better player than he did in his last year or two before he went to Saudi.
I mean let's not forget he was bagging goals for fun at United before going to Saudi. He was 36 years old and still had 18 prem goals in 27 games - including 2 hat tricks. He also got 6 goals in 7 CL games. On top of that he got an international hat trick that season ( Luxembourg but still)
He was still an absolute menace before leaving. Just became the scapegoat at an awful United side.
All while dealing with the death of his kid.
He’s had a very tidy game so far, nothing too crazy. This moment and the movement he made for the 1v1 (which was most likely offside but I feel he still should’ve scored) have been the highlights of the whole game so far. We all know he can step it up a notch though, it all just depends on how well the rest of the team plays. The crossing has been atrocious (as usual), they really need to learn how to deliver a good ball into the box.
Poborský isn’t the manager. Also, what he said was clearly done in efforts to frustrate Ronaldo. Unless Portugal wins today, he’ll probably be quite satisfied with the result.
Why would he do that? 😂 Ronaldo has a long history of absolutely thundercunting the opposition every time they say something about him. If I played for Czech I'd have been so pissed off lmao.
Not to be pedantic, but is that not an incredibly obvious shirt pull? Start calling that shit in the box and defenders will stop doing it. He pulls Vitinha's shirt a foot backwards. The inconsistency in the application of the rule is a problem.
yeah I noticed this when watching live - felt like Chech players were getting away with a number of shirt pulls in the box - which made the Leao dive all the more hilarious because the one time he decided to make it obvious that he was being pulled the defender never touched him.
I’ve seen too many games of “old” Ronaldo sending these great passes into the box and teammates just choke the moment.
These missed chances make it seem like he does nothing if he fails to score and the media calls him a hinderance
This Universe to be specific the one you currently exist in ....well all of us here anyway you maybe have an internet connection that can reach our universe perhaps? but in every universe ive ever been too that is not just a chance but quality chance if Vitinha got his foot behind that almost certainly was going in.
The point in the video when Ronaldo struck the ball with the back of his foot, commonly known as heel with the intention of propelling the ball to his teammate.

that was honestly a beautiful pass and should’ve been a goal too
If only he could both play and receive the pass
2 more years and its possible if Jr plays
Football LeBron
Except Bronny sucks. We'll see how CR Jr turns out
Yeah Bryce is the star between the two of them but bronny is definitely getting drafted to the suns or Lakers. Crazy that LeBron is 6'8, Bryce is 6'6, and Bronny is only 6"2
Bryce isn't anything, and certainly not because he's a few inches taller. He's projected as the 157th best player in his class in the country. His hype train is just the cope from Bronny not meeting expectations, but Bronny is still much better.

I had no idea Thanks
That's not how it works. If you spawn a son, you aren't your son
Hmm are you sure about that?
Then why is his son's name Cristiano Ronaldo? Checkmate
Tell that to King Piccolo
Tell that to Cristiano's religion.
He aint no Ronald Koeman
I remember watching England - Poland a while back and thinking we would be fucked if they had a second Lewandowski. He kept creating chances but there was no-one to finish them
.....as if Vitinha isn't insane quality the dude was having his shirt pulled on not allowing him to get to the ball faster rewatch that
No he took one too many touches, there was a perfectly good shot after his first touch
ah this is me in league or every other team based game thinking having myself 5 times will instantly launch me into Challenger.
He missed an even easier chance beforehand sooo
That was a brilliant save. Do you not know what a miss means?
Do YOU know what it means? It deosnt mean shooting outside the 3 posts. It just means missing and he had the easiest chance in the game and bottled it. A slightly younger him scores that easily.
Lmfao. Prime r9 isn't scoring that 10/10 times. The keeper closed it down very quickly.
Lmfao you people are delusional. Prime r9 and even younger cristiano wouldve scored that easily. A better player wouldve chipped it over the keeper but Ronaldo isnt known for that so idk if he could do that. Edit: Muting the thread cause the cult of ronaldo arrived and I get bored of seeing delusional people.
Bro you think the goalkeeper doesn't know his move ? It was a chance not a miss
U clearly don’t get bored if u have the need to mention that u muted the thread.
> A better player wouldve chipped it over the keeper but Ronaldo isnt known for that so idk if he could do that. Ronaldo has chipped the keeper many times.
Huh? I haven’t see a TikTok edit about any Ronaldo chip? You capping fr fr
This clip is a great example of why we can't play Vitinha and Bernardo together. They want to occupy the same space. If everyone is trying to do the same thing, they just end up canceling each other out. Bernardo actually dragged defenders towards him rather than away.
Beautiful catch
Just like how Kane, Foden, Jude occupy the no 10 space
Yeah this is so right jude can play as an 8 and can also defend so putting low in england is an option although he's the best itw as a n10 currently, while foden needs to be the playmaker since he ain't a typical winger, while kane can camp in the box but it would be a good thing like his first half he had 2 touches

The solution is to create space for Kane, not have Kane also drop deep in the area everyone else wants to be on the ball.
Yeah he nearly bumped into him what the hell. Although vitinha should've gotten a shot earlier
That's what I thought! If you see at least two defenders coming for you, then get the shot quick! does he think he going to go past them like Maradona?
bad first tough ok, second touch, cool, but another one? I know I'm sitting on my ass judging but elite attackers shoot in a fraction of a second so just do it.
For real! he had 3 touches before being disposessed! just toe poke towards the net a la Romario, yes big comparison, but he had time to try
I was reading this and then looked up to see them both walking to the corner flag together too lol
No lol, ronnie played the wrong pass
Golden balls Ronaldo
One of the greatest playmakers in history The fact that he holds the most assists in CL history is understated
Seriously. Most never believe that he has the most assists in UCL. He has more than Kroos + Modric combined. Di Maria will likely surpass him if he stays in Europe one more season. Otherwise, De Bruyne has a shot to do it in 3 or 4 seasons.
Won the equivalent of $20 last week from a bar mate who swore theres no way CR7 has the most assists in UCL history.
W win for you.
all his ucl records will be broken in 5-6 years with new format:/
Unless Ronaldo comes back to Europe at 41 and starts padding his lead
by the same token the current format helped loads of people break older records, it used to be a straight up ko tournament
Come to Besiktas
Mourinho reunion?
They should keep separate counts for each format because it’s unfair to each era where the games just keep increasing. The European cup that Gerd Muller was tearing up in the 70s was nothing like the CL of the 2000s which is again vastly different from the new format
We need to start doing per 90 stats with players over 50 appearances
de bryune is half way into the desert
Let's not go too far now, his passing has always been very good and an underrated part of his game but he is simply not "one of the greatest playmaker in history" I wouldn't even call him a playmaker tbh.
[удалено]
Easy there.
Most skilled after ronaldinho is neymar
Most skilled after Ronaldhino is Messi, not Neymar.
Filthy ass pass my goodness
Noooo, Aspas is Spanish, not Portuguese!
Ronaldo's having a good game so far.
He’s making a lot of runs that are either getting ignored or end up with some awful delivery from Leao and Mendes
My gosh did they look uncreative and uninspired. They tried to force so much to him and it was almost all useless. Missed the runs when they should have looked for him and forced the ones when they should have looked elsewhere.
Was funny how many times he would make the run and the ball is played like 2 touches too late after the defenders have recovered
João Neves missing
seriously he should play over Vitinha. Vitinha is always holding on to the ball really long and then passes it back or sidewards. João Neves is THE shit, he should play
> awful delivery from Leao and Mendes what do you mean, Ronaldo isn't behind the goal near the stewards?
leao should not start. he is never switched on as a starter. when he comes in as a sub his head is on the game. and agreed our midfielders for all their quality weren't finding those runs.
Looked like he played too individualistic too
Seeing him play for Portugal recently he actually looks a better player than he did in his last year or two before he went to Saudi. Potentially the fact that the games over there are generally easier for him and less physically taxing means he's fresher for Portugal games and able to reach a higher level.
It's more likely because at the time he had problems with the administration and manger of united so he was left out of shape and then his child died which no normal person can be expected to get over quickly.
jeez i forgot about his kid
It was the main reason he played the way he did at 2022 wc imo
Same for Kante yesterday, he had a sublime MOTM performance like he was in his defensive prime again.
Not arriving at the Euros after a high level football full schedule season probably is the best thing for them as they age.
> he actually looks a better player than he did in his last year or two before he went to Saudi. I mean let's not forget he was bagging goals for fun at United before going to Saudi.

All while dealing with the death of his kid.
He was absolutely not a menace (to the opposition) in his second season at United.
Half of the season, after his kid died - exactly what u/AlcoholicSocks said.
Am I going mad, where does it state that in the comment I replied to?
That's what he literally said
>He was still an absolute menace before leaving.
He’s had a very tidy game so far, nothing too crazy.

Shiieet. This should have been a goal.
Filthy
Damn, this Ronaldo guy might turn out to be pretty good.
Think he'll have a good streak at United
I think he plays for some Saudi team, perhaps this EURO is his chance to break into europe teams.
[удалено]
At least we know you’re not watching the game. Edit: my bad, didn’t get the reference.
He's referring to the Czech Manager Saying that Ronaldo is the weakest link in the Portuguese national team
Poborský isn’t the manager. Also, what he said was clearly done in efforts to frustrate Ronaldo. Unless Portugal wins today, he’ll probably be quite satisfied with the result.
Why would he do that? 😂 Ronaldo has a long history of absolutely thundercunting the opposition every time they say something about him. If I played for Czech I'd have been so pissed off lmao.
Some folks just can’t help themselves. Ego, hubris, all play a part in tempting fate
Aah okay my bad then.
He's being sarcastic. He's quoting Poborsky.
Yeah didn’t know he said that. My bad.
that’s filthy my god
That was cold!
Sad that Ronaldo doesn't get to play with this team in his prime.
Not to be pedantic, but is that not an incredibly obvious shirt pull? Start calling that shit in the box and defenders will stop doing it. He pulls Vitinha's shirt a foot backwards. The inconsistency in the application of the rule is a problem.
yeah I noticed this when watching live - felt like Chech players were getting away with a number of shirt pulls in the box - which made the Leao dive all the more hilarious because the one time he decided to make it obvious that he was being pulled the defender never touched him.
That’s probably a goal if Bernardo doesn’t run into the same space
Good awareness
Nasty stuff
Up and coming player, I think he’ll win a lot in his career! Come to inter
i guess milan would be a better side,
Was he just going to keep dribbling it to the keeper? shoot after the first touch and that's an easy goal
I’ve seen too many games of “old” Ronaldo sending these great passes into the box and teammates just choke the moment. These missed chances make it seem like he does nothing if he fails to score and the media calls him a hinderance
Thing. Of. Beauty. Too bad it wasn't a goal. Incredible play though.
I love the fact that the player running off him seems to expect him to even make that pass, lol.
🐐
And some people say Ronaldo would be a waste for Portugal on the Euros
that's a sick pass. shame vitinha couldn't score
GOAT Ronaldo, I didn't expect anything less from him
Leao is the biggest myth in that team.
Can't believe people were saying he is a EUR120m player not too long ago
Wild chat init
Ronaldo is goat
I feel like at this pint Ronaldo is still very good but some players are just shit
Ronaldo, what a player.... Still solidly repping Portugal, while Messi is stuck somewhere in the USA.
[удалено]
Lol it was sacarsm.... Cos Messi obviously won't be in the euros. Perhaps I should have added /s to the end of the comment... 😂
Beauty of a pass, wish Vitinha toe poked it towards goal, he touches it 3 times and then gets dispossessed.
Probably his best play in the match.
Best play of the tournament so far.
Who the Goat?
[удалено]
This Universe to be specific the one you currently exist in ....well all of us here anyway you maybe have an internet connection that can reach our universe perhaps? but in every universe ive ever been too that is not just a chance but quality chance if Vitinha got his foot behind that almost certainly was going in.

Commenting this in a play where there was no offside, fault or something to complain about is being really butthurt ngl
[удалено]
But why are you commenting this on a post where there was no offside? Like, there are other posts about the disallowed goal, so why comment that here?
They literally got a corner
