Ronaldo is so trash now lol
I won't call him trash. He's a legend and I respect what he did for football and for fans.

I just don't overrate him. He's not even the best goal scorer of all time because Messi based on goal/match ratio is above him even in this regard while being close to his overall tally.

Benzema, Jose, Casemiro, Zidane, Ramos, Marcelo, Rooney, Scholes, Giggs and so on - they all played or coached Ronaldo against Messi yet they all consider Messi an entirely different thing.


I remember their words clearly - Jose - Messi is the best in our generation. One on One against Messi, you are dead.

Benzema - if you criticise / hate Messi then you don't understand anything about football.

Casemiro - it's impossible for any player to stop Messi alone. I needed help from Modric and Kroos to do it.

Ronaldo isn't trash. He's one of the best we have seen and I want him to exit the international stage with respect but he's not alongside Pele, Maradona, Messi GOAT talks.

Maradona is better than Cris? Yes (even R9 is better than him for me)

But Cristiano is the third greatest player of all time, only below Pelé and Messi. There is no question about that

So Colombia needs atleast a draw to be at the top.

I think they can pull it off.

Congo can beat Uzbekistan but they need to beat them with massive goal difference to come at second and push Portugal at 3rd. Doubt it unless Colombia beats Portugal comfortably.

Fifa R32 fixtures doesn't make sense at all.

Well, anyway this is how it's likely to happen in next round

Argentina vs Uruguay/Cape verde (whosoever will end up second in group stage)

France / Norway ( whosoever will end up first in group) vs third place team of group stage

France/Norway ( whosoever will end up second) vs Ivory coast


Spain vs Austria

Portugal / Colombia - whosoever will end up second in this group will face either of Ghana / Croatia

Portugal/Colombia - winner of this group will face third rank team of group stage.

A must win game for Portugal and Colombia next week to have easier path to R16.

Germany vs third place team of group stage

Brazil / Morocco group - Netherlands/ Japan group are tied. Winner will face second rank team of other group.

England will face third rank team assuming they will definitely win against Panama

Ronaldo was at his closest to Messi during 2014–17. I saw his decline coming when his output dropped in his final Madrid season the one where he won the Champions League again.

To be fair, even back then he was helped a great deal by Bale and Benzema, and by the brilliance of Kroos and Modrić. Ronaldo rarely seemed to credit them, which may be part of why several of these players appear to rate Messi over him. His attitude often rubbed people the wrong way, and that’s a big reason he never appealed to me something I think still shows with the current Portugal side.

I think ill watch next phase of games especially third ranked teams.

Japan vs Sweden -This one will be the game to watch out for. Whoever wins will face Brazil lmao.
Netherlands, Japan and Sweden got tough out there.

Winner (Netherlands) will likely face Morocco

Second place team will likely face Brazil

Third place team might face Germany or France/Norway depending upon where they lie in rank when it comes to 8 best third place teams.
