    That's a bit harsh.

    To be fair Ronaldo hasnt played for one team in that time so thats gonna curtail honours to a point.

    I personally couldnt argue against either.

    International wise for me there is no contest, Ronaldo is just better and for me with a weaker team.

    As much as i hate Mourinho,hes right in his rant.....The english press just think its devine right to sweep past teams like Sevilla......Where Jose states that in the last 7 years Sevilla has been more successful in europe than man utd.

    * english media are as a bad as ours

    the english press surely underrates everything not coming from england, however there is no excuse for Mourinho and his millions spent that they didn't stand a chance against Sevilla. it all comes down to bad tactics and money badly spent for United.

    Sanchez, Lukaku and Pogba are almost worth as much as the whole Squad from Sevilla.

    It would be too much. It would be like Hendrix writing a better classical song than Beethoven. He is the best rock guitarist in the world there will ever be because he lives in a paradigm shift and that is where Messi was born and plays, a separate and completely exclusive paradigm that no one can describe or understand, only laugh and smile at the strange world with 7 billion people with 3 or 4 people in it who can do something so far ahead of evolution that it makes us wonder about alien dna. How can something be so rare? I think whoever created this Universe (and some thing did create it because it's nature is to create which means it was given instructions from some higher power that might have been given creation instinct from and even higher power) added random genius just for the existential satisfaction and to see the joy in the middle of all the dark matter.

    Haha ok I've said it a hundred times but you're point is correct however I think the main point is can anyone provide proof of any interview or newspaper report where football pundits are talking about who is the best in history and Ronaldo's name is mentioned? I find it surreal the comparisons are taken seriously when it comes to present day statistics yet historically they are not even thought of in the same context .

    What the * are these new 5.55pm kick offs about?

    Also why do we have to start qualifying a round earlier next year?

    I don't know what'll be the most exciting to watch. I'm naturally inclined to watch Juve Madrid but that could be a game Juve make tight and Sevilla don't seem like that kind of team, I think they might have a go and Bayern would love that so it could be the better spectacle.

    Still though, I'd love to see Madrid get pumped and there's a small chance Juve might manage it especially if they score first.

    That would be sweet :D

    I’m going to watch Juve/Madrid but I feel let down before it even starts. Can foresee a bore draw.

    The game of the Tournament will be City/Liverpool tomorrow night.
