Title: Ronaldo Retires
Post by: Buckwheat156 on Feb 14, 2011, 03:10: PM
Sad day in footballing history. Valentines 2011 the legend calls curtains on his glorious career. He will be missed and will go down as one of the greatest of all time

Legend!! No doubt. :040: Unstoppable on his day, but not really a team player though. If one day he doesn't want to run he won't, cause he doesn't have to. His skills carry him. His teammates at Real Madrid use to allow him to slack off in training because they knew he would score goals when matchday arrived.
Also, he just revealed yesterday he suffers from a condition called hypothyroidism which slows your metabolism and makes it harder to lose weight and to control weight gain. Hence his big belly.

Yeah, really sad.  He'll be missed.  I think everyone in the end has a good memory of Ronaldo.  Great striker who was unfortunately struck by bad injury luck. 

Check out Ronaldo's son under the table when Ronaldo announced his retirement. :grin:

my biggest memory of ronaldo was WC2002, when he made 12 goals and had that hideous hair style... next summer half the kids had the same haircut xD

Wasn't it 8 goals?  I think he had 15 total World Cup goals. :017:

LOL man,
Izaghi WTF, have a lot of Strikers better than his.

why not inzaghi? I'm not talking about overall ability with speed, dribbling, strength, passing vision etc. I mean PURE finishers who know how to score goals.
Yes I know guys like messi, tevez, rooney, henry, eto'o are very good but inzaghi still has more goal scoring ability than all of them. He is 2nd top scorer in Champions league history and scored goals for fun in Italian league for countless years. He is a legend......Super Pippo!!! :Woot_Emoticon:

Every fun of football must be sad now for that.

jabarinho what about shevchenko?
Title: Re: Ronaldo Retires
Post by: jabarinho on Feb 25, 2011, 10:28: PM
oh i forgot about shevchenko :embarrassed: He is about the same level as inzaghi, but Pippo has been consistent over a longer period of time. Sheva's career crashed at the age of 31 when he became one of Chelsea's biggest flops of all time :cheesy: Actually one of EPL's biggest flops of all time. While super pippo was still banging in the goals at age 37.
If sheva didn't get that bad injury when he was 31 he would probably be still scoring goals. Similar to Michael Owen's injury crisis.

Morientes used to be a good striker too when he was playing for Madrid and Monaco  :grin:

Indeed, Morientes was good. But I won't give him the same legendary status as Raul, R9, Pippo or RVN.
Morientes is on the same level as guys like Fowler, Owen, Andy Cole etc.
