“I’M back! I’m back!”

Actually, would you ever just go away?

Full disclosure, I’d love to see the back of Cristiano Ronaldo – except when he leaps and twirls to do his stupid goal celebration. Soooooo annoying.

Despite so many claims, he’s not ‘the GOAT’; he’s more a bit of an ass.

Winning the World Cup was his “dream” – until Lionel Messi did so.

Then it became ‘six or seven games which don’t define greatness’, a comment he delivered with his trademark petulant pout. To Piers Morgan. As discussed, an ass.

To suggest that scoring against World Cup finals debutants Uzbekistan – rated 58th in the world and only the sixth highest ranked team from Asia – is somehow an exceptional achievement rather sums up the arrogant fool.

Becoming the first player to score at six World Cups IS exceptional, of course.

Cristiano Ronaldo is, or has been, exceptional too.

Yet longevity does not equate to being ‘the greatest’.

If that were the case then James Milner is the greatest English Premier League player ever. Spoiler alert – and much as I love that man – he’s not.

Consistency and durability DO matter, of course.

Diego Maradona is probably the most talented footballer I’ve ever seen playing........
