Thanks for proving one of my points. I don't like Ronaldo over Messi, but I hate that people have this constant need to prove one over the other. Has Ronaldo not managed to avoid the off-field controversies? Ronaldo was also extremely strict about his body and lived up to the highest standards...

And that's exactly what conversation is. We can have difference of opinion. My view is that he is a phenomenal player who ranks as one of the best of all time, but still think as an individual, he doesn't carry himself well or set a great example.

I'm not trying to impose or be controversial about anything. I've watched him his whole career. I am very much making my decision off observation and knowledge of him. Plus, those who defend Messi, yet shit on Ronaldo for the exact same thing, kind of adds to the view of him.

Nah. That's too lazy an excuse. Other players can behave with dignity and grace under the same pressure, so I don't buy that argument. Plus, his behaviour at this world cup tipped the scales for me. You also literally make an argument for one player by saying, "it's the pressure of the game"...

Phenomenal player. Petulant person.
