Ibe will never be good enough to warrant buying him back.

That hoor should be banged up.

Same fella got a suspended sentence years ago. Got a job in some hospital as a doctor.  They eventually realised he had no qualifications.  Don't know who or how charities are approved but if you seen someone with that track record alarm bells should have been ringing. 

Would a lot of their ballot papers not be soiled.... sorry, spoiled thus their opinion is disregarded anyway?

England not blessed with a wise old owl. All Hodsgon was ever good for was playing down expectations. No doubts England are poor enough but still should be able to beat Iceland. The money those lads earn should be frozen by the English version of CAB. Stealing a living.   

Who was the sexpot beside Delaney, daughter or gold-digga?

Not his daughter. 'So, what first attracted you to millionaire John Delaney'.

Whatever about Hoolohan, bringing Walters on was a bad decision.  His first touch or lack of led to the break that caused the red card. Bringing McCarthy off instead of Hendrick also a mistake. 

Captain should have the decency to sing the National anthem.

Croatian right full back cost them. Don't know was it tiredness but he was hopeless in extra time and lost the ball for the counter that led to the goal. Rakitic disappointing too. Feel sorry for Modric. 

Honestly think Messi and Ronaldo are the best two of all time. Their scoring record is simply amazing.

Why don't they do it for thier countries? Yes they may score loads of goals but I think these stats are misleading. Barce and Madrid have the best players in the world. Tv money goes to those at the expense of other teams in Spain making it a turkey shoot. Neymar and Suarez are now knocking in 30 goals a season. In my opinion unless they do it for their countries lile Maradona and Zidane, fat Ronaldo at the World Cup rhen they cannot be up witj the best ever.

Both Messi and Ronaldo have better scoring records for their countries than Maradona had. Sure David Healy was did great for NI but was hardly world class.  You play with your club a lot more than you play with your country.
Opposition in the Champions league is at least on a par if not better than the World Cup and it is on every year, not once every 4 years.
If, for example, you put Maradona or Zidane in that Portugal team ahead of Ronaldo I don't think they would have been anywhere near winning a World Cup so I think the criticism is unfair.

Ah here. Sticking 6 past San Marino or Bolivia is not the same as being the main reason your country won the World Cup.

Bale been the player of the tournament so far, cue more huffing from the tanned one

Am I in the minority in thinking Ronaldo should not be included with the greats like Maradona, Pele Zidane etc?

Yes

Ronaldo deserves his place up there with the best. He suffers;
a) because he played for United
b) because he wines and huffs

Neither of these two things should really impact how he is viewed but they do.

Because he played for United...what a load of bollix.
His best years have been at Madrid. Why would anyone care that he played for United. Are you seriously telling me you believe someone might not rate him because he played for United?

Playing for man u is irrelevant. The huffing is at odds with what a great player does. In times of need tbe greats step up. Ronaldo rarely steps up when his team ate strugglung. Instead he hides, feigns injuries, blames colleagues.  The greats have carried their countries to success. Ronaldo never has.

Hardly comparable Mike

Look at the teams of the three you have mentioned played in. CR is playing in an infinitely worse team than any of those three at international level.

Maradona carried Argentina to win 86 and final in 1990. Zidane maybe not in 98 buy defo to final in 06. Ronaldo nor indeed Messi have done it for their countries.

That defender for Russia Vaseline isn't helping!

Shatski to come on when it's in the melting pot.

Russia wide open at the back there. Suppose that's what u get when ure manager is called Slutski.
