Yeah, I was going to say, how can you be that self-righteous when you're getting paid to speak on TV by a criminal yourself, especially when your whole argument hinges on ethics and morals? Hypocrites, the lot of them.

Wasn't aware of that, that's even worse. It doesn't really hurt his argument (although I don't really care much for these debates about ethics in football since they're inevitably colored by people's club preferences) but jesus, get off your high horse you smug prick, good job in being more informed than an ex-footballer, they're all borderline retarded anyway.

What is he smug about, Mean Bean Machine?

He's being smug and condescending about Chelsea fans liking Abramovich's effect on the club for "football reasons" and because they "can't see the big picture" of how Roman got his money, unlike his morally irreprehensible self who apparently abhors such practices even though he's employed by the same type of corrupt criminal himself OP.

Is he really old then?

Not only is he old but as with most Nigerian players nobody knows their ages for sure as they lie about it when they get to Europe with the aid of the Nigerian FA and government, so the joke is that 9/11/17 might as well be his real birth date for all we know, google it. Or maybe the joke was just that he's old in which case it does not get my "haha" seal of approval as previously conceded.

I'm glad they're having a good time and taking funny pictures for their fans before their inevitably disappointing and trophyless season begins and their fans turn on them for not pulling their weight, until next season's Asia/USA tour helps fans forget their crap season thanks to some Wenger and Podolski in funny clothing pics.

Bale is dressing like Ronaldo to get the Big Man's attention, maybe he hopes that once he joins Real Ronaldo will take him under his wing like a big brother and they'll be hitting all the beaches with their short shorts but in truth Ronaldo will hate him from the first minute and he'll tell everyone to make monkey noises whenever Bale's around and he'll invite him to weightlifting contests with bros like Sergio Ramos and Casillas watching, real alpha males, and they'll be laughing since Bale prob doesn't even lift until the boy's nothing but a useless husk of a chimp and goes back to whatever poo poo club he came from while Big Cristiano "Ronnie" Ronaldo bangs his missus and plays with his kid lmao

Despite the US qualifying easily at the top of the group it doesn't actually count you see because we don't play Spain, Argentina, Brazil and Germany in our group. Someone should just tell the US that it needs to move its landmass to Europe so we can be better at soccer. Maybe then we'd even have players in the British Premiere League of Barclays London UK League some day.

I don't really follow soccer but from what I hear the US is pretty bad at it right? Has this changed recently?

Wow, Torres looks old. Definately not the young vibrant player that once shone in the BPL. He's now a husk of his former self. What is he, like 27 or 28? Someone take him behind the shed and put him out of his misery. Sad. Ronaldo is triste.

I'm laughing, what a funny guy. Great impersonations! That's exactly how Ronaldo plays, like a commander, strutting around the field...Haha, oh man, I'm cracking up just thinking of Mr. Blatter imitating him. He also got Messi spot on, I never could quite put my finger on it but he found the perfect way to describe Messi's style: like a dancer. Whenever he's on the field, doesn't matter if he has the ball or not, there's some grace and fluidity to it akin to...I don't know much about dancing, but maybe Ballet? Yes, Ballet! That's what it is! Wonderful, just wonderful. Wish I could've been there to listen and absorb Mr. Blatter's amazing stories and phenomenal impressions, but that's the beauty of the internet I guess. Hahaha, oh what a treat, this has certainly made my day.

Do I sound mad? I actually think people (Real Madrid, Ronaldo, the media) are making a big fuss over a completely inoffensive comment from a moron, who has previously said gay people shouldn't act gay if they want to watch a world cup in Qatar in safety. The only thing I found funny about this whole business is that the highest representative of football worldwide can only come up with the most cliched platitudes like "Messi plays like he's dancing" when asked to describe two players. Oh, and that people actually went to listen to him in person when they could've taken the time to do something more productive like watching paint dry.

And yes, that's a meg

Actually Ronaldo has been playing "in Europe" all his life and scored 2 goals in his league debut when he was only 17, while Neymar was only deemed good enough to move to Europe when he was 21. He also has a much better body than Neymar, who's skinny, emaciated and has no muscles. Maybe you weren't aware but we don't enjoy the presence of trolls around here, so if you would kindly fly away.

Look at this oval office laughing at his teammate getting brutally assaulted and maybe having a concussion. Probably thinks he'll have the spotlight back on him if Ronaldo, who's ten times the player he'll ever be, is forced to end his career because of major head trauma. Awful player and even worse human being, can't wait for him to be sold to some poo poo club like Betis or Barca.

It was a pretty light shove and the Atletico player just happened to land really awkwardly, it's a contact sport. Also, when you're built like a truck sometimes it's hard to control your own strength, not Ronaldo's fault that his touch causes mere mortals to do backflips in the air and land on their heads. Do you even lift?
