It Could Get A Bit Messi In Here - The Football Thread.

Don't know if Ronaldo is really claiming the goal or if it's another media trick but this is beyond ridiculous. I get Ronaldo wants another record but I can't believe he is asking Portuguese federation to provide evidence that he touched the ball.
 

The 37-year-old is said to have agreed to a two-and-a-half year deal worth £172.9 million per year, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.
I'm surprised by this because I thought Ronaldo still believes he's one of the best of all time. To stay relevant as the best of all time, he needs to remain in one of the "top 5 leagues" (England, Spain, Germany, France, Italy). So, him going to another league, in this case Saudi Arabia, means he's accepting irrelevance, unless he thinks he's big enough to keep that attention on himself in a lesser league. I can't see the general footballing public to give a toss about him scoring 28 goals in the Saudi League however.

Except he is convinced Portugal wins the World Cup and he has nothing left to prove. As I am (in my league).
