Superb tonight. Felt for Ibrahimovic, who nearly turned it round for Sweden on his own and who has probably seen his last chance of a World Cup go. But Ronaldo was fantastic and such a clinical finisher.
Only thing is that both those guys are just so much better than all their teammates & can see Portugal struggling if Ronaldo is crocked, or has an off-day.
True. But as a fan of football, seeing him in action, doing things most players couldn't even dream of doing, having the skill and power and tricks and finishing, I'd forgive him being an arrogant arsehole. He's not a jack of all trades, he's a master of all trades.... and a total knob besides.
Always been in the "Messi is better" camp up until this season - purely because he has been with his goals and assists (last 3/4 years anyway). But I think Ronaldo might have reached ANOTHER new level now. Ludicrous that he was 7/1 for the Ballon d'Or no more than a month ago.
If you were lucky enough to get him at that price, or even at 2/1 as he was this evening, then enjoy your money!

Was outstanding tonight. The World Cup is about seeing the best players in action and he is probably the best at the moment. Should have had four tonight. Created himself another chance and then stuck it wide.
If you watched England instead then more fool you.
Always preferred Ronny to Messi, his overall play is better, and he's done it for the past 3/4 seasons with a lower standard of players compared to Messi and Barcelona. He can head the ball, has tons of skill, ridiculously quick, unstoppable shot, amazing set pieces, and he can tackle too.
If Bale is worth 90 million, Ronaldo is worth 250 million in my eyes

Ronaldo's hardly playing in a bad team at Real Madrid! Thing is, everything Ronaldo has done in the last 3/4 seasons you speak of, so has Messi (and more). That's why he's won the Ballon d'Or for the last four years in a row.
But Ronaldo has had an even more incredible year and this season he's just moved up another notch somehow.
Incredible player and fantastic player, but I watched both legs and Portugal massively rely on Ronaldo and I'm not sure what it would do for their game plan if he was injured.

For me he is a better all-round player than Messi and one of the best of all-time, he has EVERYTHING.

You could say he won that game on his own last night, but that pass for his third was pretty special.
They are both world class players, that have different attributes that make them what they are. Just enjoy them both.
All this he's better than him cos of this just reminds me of people that play far too much FIFA on computer.
Ronaldo has more career hatricks than Marouane Chamakh's total Premier league shots
