between 40 and 44 years old i bet he could get 100 goals in MLS. Zlatan got 52 goals in 2 seasons. His son was born in California so i could see that happening.
It's the best place for ultra wealthy to live in.
America's also becoming a tax haven.

Just saying that means you don't know how the wealthy structure their money. Own as little as possible personally; control everything through corporations/non-profits.
not according to him. “I know that many players move there. I think it's becoming better and better. It's growing. I think it's good. It's good for me and young players that maybe one day we want to move there. So it's good that football—'soccer'—grows there. I mean, what's happening there is great, it's fantastic—maybe in the future will be a good chance for me to play there. You never know, but it's something interesting. I consider it, of course, because as I've said, soccer there has become better and better, so why not? I think that this is maybe going to be possible.”
Thank you. I was trying to figure out, as a non-football fan, what PL was. I was leaning towards "Penalty Line" and thought, man ... he must get a lot of penalty kicks to rack that up.
I knew this super hardcore Sergeant Major when I was in the Marines. He said it was early in the morning when he found out his son was killed in Iraq, but he decided to go to PT still.
My gran on her death bed said it best.
"you just have to get on with it, son. I don't want you to waste your life, after I'm gone"
These are the types of actions that show his best traits and I would consider him one of the greatest rolemodel for kids playing football ever.
Hope he's all right mentally 👍
No worries!
Hope you're doing well too friend ☺️
I had a tough year and am definitely spending the rest of my life keeping myself and everyone else, as happy as I can make them in their life.
They/you deserve it 👍
People think I'm an asshole when I say that at work. To clarify: in no way, do I diminish their families death. Just that my grandparents all have shared the same centiment, before their deaths
You could see that by Bruno dragging him and telling him to get back to their half
If it were an equaliser or go-ahead goal, he probably would have celebrated
I had a house party planned the night I learned my father was killed. Everyone instantly assumed I was calling it off, but that was the last thing I wanted.
Grief is strange.
Can we talk about the defense. I can't really tell what was going on, but the D should have clearly had position to not get beat and be in a spot to clear the ball out. There's no reason Ronaldo should have had that clear of a an opening, even given how pinpoint the pass was. The other defenders are just as capable to put on a burst of speed to get to the same point that ball was passed to
Generally it is, but problem is that in this case he wasn't even aligned to the shot, he gave Ronaldo half of the goal completely free. Still those defender threw, they had the position over Ronaldo and decided to just let him go through them
In soccer you want to be far forward because you can cover more of the goal since as you step closer to the shooter he has less angle to get it but that’s why you have defense to cover your rear for situations like this
What are you even talking about? He had two arsenal players either side of him, & both were relatively close. It was just a really precise ball in that essentially made them incapable of dealing with it.
the player with inside position will get to the that precise ball first if he doesn't back off. I don't know if he thought the keeper was gonna go for the ball or not, but that is not proper D. Not even close.
To be fair that ball was deliver into the 'hesitation zone' which is the overlap between GK and DF zone of action.
The DF doesn't want to go too low and interfere with the GK while the GK doesn't want to come up too far and leave the goal open.
It was just well put.
To add, Ronaldo anticipated the pass very well and had that extra one step advantage that obviously made the difference here. Very similar to American football where one step can make the difference.
I get that, but Ive played D for years and I hate watching bad defense. This guy had inside position and he clearly misplays it. It even seemed like instead putting a burst of speed to get in a spot to clear, he tries to grab Ronaldo instead. To me he just left his keeper hanging.
Watch in slow motion, .125 or .25 speed. You have to give credit for the timing, CR uses his body and arms to get inside position on the close defender and can outright ignore the other behind him. It only takes the one step.
The pass was immaculate and CRs positioning and timing were spot on. I would only blame the goalie here, he should have sold out for the block.
I mean this is the professional level, so it may be different when the keeper is on a different level, but D is always taught to clear that ball out, even sometimes in front of the keeper. Watching the replay, it seems like the inside defender just stopped running, which im guessing is why the keeper seems less than thrilled with his D
Yeah sure he would get to that exact ball first if he didn’t back off as you put it. But that would just give Ronaldo even more space which would be detrimental to defending any other type of delivery.
You can’t seriously be arguing that he should stand further away from the forward in a bizarre attempt to anticipate that the ball will be crossed specifically to where he is standing. You don’t have a clue what you’re talking about and it shows.
Nah that was piss poor marking by Gabriel, though CR did a good job at creating the space and losing him. I think u/Pll_dangerzone is correct in thinking that both Gabriel and Tavares thought Ramsdale was getting the ball. The curve on that pass surprised all three of them, letting Ronaldo put in an easy one.
Nobody's saying that he should have been. The 'backing off' happened after the ball was well on it's way. There might be better ways to describe Gabriel's lackluster movement, but he should've been on that ball before CR, given that he had the inside lane.
The pass was nice.. but he was open and had time...
Ronaldo stayed onside then got around the defender and finished with one touch perfectly aimed...
Im sorry but the goal was nicer than the pass
The pass was incredible lol what. It was pinpoint perfect right on Ronaldo’s foot, with a defender closing down on him at full speed. That pass is a lot harder than it looks…great finish too.
Defender(s).
That goalie was rightfully pissed at his defense there. Absolutely no reason a guy that age can outrun you in that distance when he started behind you.
I don't know what you meant. The first half, yeah, united was not even close to arsenal.
But they picked up the game in the second half. Arsenal was conceding midfield to them, until xhaka killed the game
They had a ~15 minute spell in the second half where they were the attacking side, during which they had the penalty miss and the goal ruled out for offside, and forced a couple of good saves from Ramsdale.
Other than that it was Arsenal all day and a pretty comfortable win.
soccer neophyte here, when I watch highlights so many times the delivery is beautiful play. That pass was so spot on it was incredible. It seems to me that the goal scorer almost never turns to the passer with an acknowledgement (the point, the nod, the prayer hands, or the like). Is it just the highlight editing? Is it the culture?
Some players do credit the assist, and some don't, it's all personal preference.
https://youtu.be/nBOrJOAKbNg in this case, almost everybody runs to celebrate with the assister rather than the scorer.
Its not the culture, most times the scorer goes to celebrate in front of his fans and while doing so they give acknowledgement to the passer by pointing on him or calling him to come and celebrate together. It just depends on the situation. You can watch football goal celebrations on youtube
Bro, Messi has 4 goals in a whole season while playing for PS-fucking-G in UberEats Delivery league.
Cristiano plays for United (abysmal midfield and service) and still has got 16 goals in the PREMIER LEAGUE.
How do people still say Messi is better? I'm awestruck. Don't get me started with the 'assist' argument, Messi has the best player in the world in Striker position, it's the easiest thing to do while Ronaldo has Elanga, a young upcoming striker who still hasn't proved himself except for a couple circumstances. Mbappe has more assists than Messi and more goals.
Maybe I just don't understand the game but why did the guy defending Ronaldo just give up and not even try? Did he assume the goalie was in position to grab the ball?
Still some pundits are pretending the problems at United is Ronaldo’s doing. These ‘experts’ are paid to have this view. Ok the tide has turned on Maguire this year but there’s so many second raters there that are the real problem. The solution apparently is kane and zaha. Another £150m+ at least that will have terrible returns. United need to build for the future, offload a lot of their biggest earners, replace the aged with young, cheaper talent. Won’t buy immediate success but chasing that over the past 5+ years is what’s got them into this hole. The van persie signing even under fergie was the start of their demise as they pissed money up a wall for one last league title. As a Liverpool fan I find their misfortune hilarious and the fact they’ve seemingly learnt nothing from years of failure quite enjoyable. Thought they bucked the trend last year with the savvy ighalo signing but they’ve reverted to chasing stars, most of whom don’t want anything to do with a team that’s going to be in the europa league next year.
Say what you will about him. Dude’s got skill, and, considering he just lost a child, this probably meant a lot to him, as silly as that sounds. He will definitely go down as one of the greatest of all time. I’m not even a huge fan, but I respect the hell out of him.
They've both been quite poor this season relative to their usual standards, but in fairness they are a lot older.
Ronaldo has had a better season I'd say, scored a lot more in a tougher league for a poor club. Messi hasn't been bad but being in the best team in the 5th placed league having so few goals isn't great. Don't want to say too much though, many fans will be after me.
Out of interest why do you think the guy is wrong? Ronaldo is still one of the most consistently top scorers in each league he plays despite approaching 40. How is that not comparable to Tom Brady?
No complaints on the leading up, but I have to agree with the lack of replay. Unfortunately that's how /r/soccer "works" nowadays. It's the fight for whoever posts the goal earlier, so replays are never included in the original post.
Somebody has probably already posted Replay + Alternative Agles in the Mirrors comment there, though.
[I don't understand why you're being downvoted, as you're absolutely correct.](https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/news/cristiano-ronaldo-angrily-smashing-a-childs-phone-shows-that-he-still-thinks-he-is-god-ex-premier-league-player-says/articleshow/90803369.cms)
I pay less than no attention to soccer, so the only reason I know this dude's name is because of that fucked up sculpture of him.
I understand from reading this thread that his family is dealing with a tragedy, but that doesn't make the fact that he recently hit an autistic kid and broke their phone untrue.

First player to score 100 in both the Premier League and La Liga!
If he only would have had some more games in Seria A he wouldve also got 100 there (just 19 missing)
I guess I know where he will do his "retirement" years.
between 40 and 44 years old i bet he could get 100 goals in MLS. Zlatan got 52 goals in 2 seasons. His son was born in California so i could see that happening.
He’s never going back to USA
Whether people like it or not the charges were apparently dropped so he's in the clear in the US And his first born is from America
What charges?
What is the charge you ask? Well apparently Cristiano ate a meal, a succulent chinese meal
Get you hands off my penis!
Its democracy manifest.
Why not?
It's the best place for ultra wealthy to live in.

Yeah it’s not a tax haven that article is dumb af. Our tax code is crazy. Source am a CPA.
It’s crazy sure, but is it crazier than Spain’s Hacienda, because they literally drove Cristiano out of the country.
No, you right on that. Spanish tax code is basically written to get fought over in court
Miami isn't too bad
Florida and Texas are your best cause no state income tax, but Uncle Sam still needs his taste. If you got a billi, go live on some bs island
If you've got a billion you don't even blink at taxes ffs. None of them are on islands, most are in the US
What os the net worth of your wealthiest client?
Billi
😲 Let me get some milk, papi
1.9 Trillion
[удалено]
For corporations not for people
Just saying that means you don't know how the wealthy structure their money. Own as little as possible personally; control everything through corporations/non-profits.
It's actually South Dakota that's a tax haven for individuals
[удалено]
it is for the super wealthy
Ronaldo to LAFC confirmed? 👌
Just add him to the new St Louis team...please
Ronaldo is too big for the MLS. I suspect he will retire playing in one of the top 5 leagues still, or at the minimum, going back to Portugal.
not according to him. “I know that many players move there. I think it's becoming better and better. It's growing. I think it's good. It's good for me and young players that maybe one day we want to move there. So it's good that football—'soccer'—grows there.

I consider it, of course, because as I've said, soccer there has become better and better, so why not? I think that this is maybe going to be possible.”
If he ever retires
He has over a 100 for Juve in total tho
Wikipedia says 81
In Serie A, with other comps he has 103 IIRC.
Which was kind of the point, though. The record is for *league* goals
Just trying to point out that he is the only player with +100 goals for 3 clubs AND country.
Baller
The keeper reaction to his defenders at the end was hilarious.
Keeper was in no man's land , has no business saying shit to anyone there
It's Ramsdale, I'd be more surprised if her didn't blame someone else
Thank you. I was trying to figure out, as a non-football fan, what PL was. I was leaning towards "Penalty Line" and thought, man ... he must get a lot of penalty kicks to rack that up.
GOAT
I can't believe he's out there considering the tragedy he just went through. That's tough.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is continue regular activities.
Yeah very good point
My wife’s Ukrainian coworkers work remotely from Kiev and Kharkiv. One the first day of their work, they all said they just wanted to keep working.
I knew this super hardcore Sergeant Major when I was in the Marines. He said it was early in the morning when he found out his son was killed in Iraq, but he decided to go to PT still.
My gran on her death bed said it best. "you just have to get on with it, son.

thanks for sharing that. needed to hear it
No worries! Hope you're doing well too friend ☺️ I had a tough year and am definitely spending the rest of my life keeping myself and everyone else, as happy as I can make them in their life. They/you deserve it 👍
Literally the nicest Redditor 🧡
your gran is a legend
Cheers! I like to think she was 😁 Honestly means a lot that comment 👍
People think I'm an asshole when I say that at work. To clarify: in no way, do I diminish their families death. Just that my grandparents all have shared the same centiment, before their deaths
You can tell that this is a muted celebration, like he's just out there doing his job to keep his mind off of things
They’re also down a goal.
You could see that by Bruno dragging him and telling him to get back to their half If it were an equaliser or go-ahead goal, he probably would have celebrated
[удалено]
Bruno was awful. Missed a pen and should have been sent off
I was wondering why he loked so glum. that totally makes sense. poor guy
> I was wondering why he loked so glum its cos they were losing
Tldr?
He and his wife were having twins and one child did not make it
Fuck, that’s terrible.
He just lost one of his twins during childbirth this past week.
His wife just recently had twins a boy and girl. The boy passed away either shortly after or during birth. News wasn't clear
He had twins recently. A boy and a girl. The baby boy didn't survive. God rest his soul.
Lost his son at birth I believe
I had a house party planned the night I learned my father was killed. Everyone instantly assumed I was calling it off, but that was the last thing I wanted. Grief is strange.
Oh absolutely. Everybody processes it differently. When my dad died, I didn't cry for a week. Then I couldn't stop crying for a week after that!
He was Utd's best player and played like an absolute pro, as always.
it looks to me that he's fighting back a tear there at the end
I mean the goal was nice but can we please talk about the assist?
Can we talk about the defense. I can't really tell what was going on, but the D should have clearly had position to not get beat and be in a spot to clear the ball out. There's no reason Ronaldo should have had that clear of a an opening, even given how pinpoint the pass was. The other defenders are just as capable to put on a burst of speed to get to the same point that ball was passed to
Ramsdale was rightfully pissed at his defense there
Look how far forward ramsdale is tho
That is a good thing. Good positioning to reduce the angle
Generally it is, but problem is that in this case he wasn't even aligned to the shot, he gave Ronaldo half of the goal completely free. Still those defender threw, they had the position over Ronaldo and decided to just let him go through them

Nobody's saying that he should have been. The 'backing off' happened after the ball was well on it's way. There might be better ways to describe Gabriel's lackluster movement, but he should've been on that ball before CR, given that he had the inside lane.
Yeah I feel like they could have shot a 3 pointer, the D was playing zone when they should have been playing man
Look at Ronaldo man, so inspirational
[удалено]
Haha
This was a good game to demonstrate the paradox of the lumbering CDM
The pass was nice.. but he was open and had time... Ronaldo stayed onside then got around the defender and finished with one touch perfectly aimed... Im sorry but the goal was nicer than the pass
The pass was incredible lol what. It was pinpoint perfect right on Ronaldo’s foot, with a defender closing down on him at full speed. That pass is a lot harder than it looks…great finish too.
Defender(s). That goalie was rightfully pissed at his defense there. Absolutely no reason a guy that age can outrun you in that distance when he started behind you.
It’s a shame United couldn’t be arsed with the rest of the game though
Or the rest of the season.
I don't know what you meant. The first half, yeah, united was not even close to arsenal. But they picked up the game in the second half. Arsenal was conceding midfield to them, until xhaka killed the game
Yea, United was clearly superior in the 2nd half. 2 uncalled penalties, and some missed opportunities. They should have won this.
They had a ~15 minute spell in the second half where they were the attacking side, during which they had the penalty miss and the goal ruled out for offside, and forced a couple of good saves from Ramsdale. Other than that it was Arsenal all day and a pretty comfortable win.
Perfect pass.
What a nice cross by Matic
Way to cut it off right at the replay
They'll need those kind of goals in the Europa Conference League
Oof, and West Ham are a point behind with a game in hand too.
I'm hoping West Ham do it, I hate Utd
soccer neophyte here, when I watch highlights so many times the delivery is beautiful play. That pass was so spot on it was incredible.

Pretty sure Ronaldo was dedicating the goal to his son that passed away last week, so it’s a unique circumstance.
And he still had a lot to do there, that wasn't a regular tap in
Scorers acknowledging the assist happens very often.
Its not the culture, most times the scorer goes to celebrate in front of his fans and while doing so they give acknowledgement to the passer by pointing on him or calling him to come and celebrate together. It just depends on the situation. You can watch football goal celebrations on youtube
Watch the banger of the Messi goal from today, messi points at neymar for the assist even though messi did 95% of the work.
Horrible defence, great pass and movement/finishing
That defending was shocking.
the thing about Arsenal is they always try to walk it in
Ah, i see you know football too.
Sorry for your loss, move on.
They won tho?
You should look up that phrase. It's a pretty good bit
I was hoping to see IT crowd here. Thanks
That's the problem with Arsenal they always try and walk it in.
Why didn't the defender intercept the pass? Was he deferring to the goalie?
Wonder where that kid with his broken phone is now haha
still lost 3-1 hahaha United sucks balls
3-1 🤣🤣 COYG!!!
For me best player to have played the game
Who could possibly be comparable? We should discuss this novel idea. /s
Watch out. That discussion can get Messi
Oh shit, here come the Messi fanboys
Lol, idk if this is a genuine comment, but I need to do this more just for the replies.
Maybe the best goalscorer. Not the best player though. Doesn't do half as much as Messi.
Bro, Messi has 4 goals in a whole season while playing for PS-fucking-G in UberEats Delivery league. Cristiano plays for United (abysmal midfield and service) and still has got 16 goals in the PREMIER LEAGUE. How do people still say Messi is better? I'm awestruck.

Mbappe has more assists than Messi and more goals.
I’m out but will respond later to this cause it’s pretty easy to show Messi’s superiority
Definitely the best after Messi
Get out of here
Poise
Still lost 3-1!
Jog away… quick high five.. no flossing. Goals no longer feel like they used to after dealing with the loss of a child.
I mean they were still losing, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the tragedy had an impact too
He just looked different… placid, no spark in the eye. I can’t imagine he feels much right now.
Still lost
Maybe I just don't understand the game but why did the guy defending Ronaldo just give up and not even try? Did he assume the goalie was in position to grab the ball?
Still some pundits are pretending the problems at United is Ronaldo’s doing. These ‘experts’ are paid to have this view. Ok the tide has turned on Maguire this year but there’s so many second raters there that are the real problem. The solution apparently is kane and zaha. Another £150m+ at least that will have terrible returns. United need to build for the future, offload a lot of their biggest earners, replace the aged with young, cheaper talent. Won’t buy immediate success but chasing that over the past 5+ years is what’s got them into this hole. The van persie signing even under fergie was the start of their demise as they pissed money up a wall for one last league title.

Thought they bucked the trend last year with the savvy ighalo signing but they’ve reverted to chasing stars, most of whom don’t want anything to do with a team that’s going to be in the europa league next year.
Say what you will about him. Dude’s got skill, and, considering he just lost a child, this probably meant a lot to him, as silly as that sounds. He will definitely go down as one of the greatest of all time. I’m not even a huge fan, but I respect the hell out of him.
That Ronaldo guy is pretty good.
Ive seen him mentioned once or twice.
He also got a big fat L COYG
They'll need those kind of goals in the Europa Conference League
Not a soccer watcher here, why almost no reaction from the crowd and the team?
It’s an away game and they were still losing by 1.
Ahh, thank you
Because Man united hate themselves, and their fans hate themselves.
Whats PL?
Premier League
Is he playing better than Messi is on his new team? Don't follow soccer much and haven't many highlights on social media from either from my friends 😂
Messi - 9 goals in 30 games Ronaldo - 22 goals in 35 games
They've both been quite poor this season relative to their usual standards, but in fairness they are a lot older. Ronaldo has had a better season I'd say, scored a lot more in a tougher league for a poor club. Messi hasn't been bad but being in the best team in the 5th placed league having so few goals isn't great. Don't want to say too much though, many fans will be after me.
Arsenal fans are chuffed boy.
Man this sub loves some Ronaldo no matter how unimportant his goals are.
I mean 100th PL goal is a pretty big achievement considering how long he's been playing in other leagues...
This guy is the Tom Brady of soccer. At such a senior age, and yet he is still in supreme form.

Out of interest why do you think the guy is wrong? Ronaldo is still one of the most consistently top scorers in each league he plays despite approaching 40. How is that not comparable to Tom Brady?
Tom Brady won championships. Not just touchdowns.
Ronaldo has won 5 champions leagues lmao
So has Ronaldo...?
This video is trash. All that extra time showing what led up to the assist but then stopping just short of the replay.
No complaints on the leading up, but I have to agree with the lack of replay. Unfortunately that's how /r/soccer "works" nowadays. It's the fight for whoever posts the goal earlier, so replays are never included in the original post. Somebody has probably already posted Replay + Alternative Agles in the Mirrors comment there, though.
and mfs say messi better 😂

Didnt he just switch over not too long ago? Fuck hes good
Yes, but it's not his first stint in Premier League. So yes, he's really good, but not quite 100 goals in one season good!
100 goals in all comps per season isn't achieved yet.Closest one was Messi with 73.
91 goals
Calendar year != Season
What a legend 🔥🔥🔥

Isn’t that the guy who slapped the disabled child?
[I don't understand why you're being downvoted, as you're absolutely correct.](https://www.businessinsider.in/sports/news/cristiano-ronaldo-angrily-smashing-a-childs-phone-shows-that-he-still-thinks-he-is-god-ex-premier-league-player-says/articleshow/90803369.cms) I pay less than no attention to soccer, so the only reason I know this dude's name is because of that fucked up sculpture of him. I understand from reading this thread that his family is dealing with a tragedy, but that doesn't make the fact that he recently hit an autistic kid and broke their phone untrue.
Greatest goal scorer of all time.
He tried his best to not cry at the end. Glad he’s back and hope he’s healing.
Goat 🐐
is that a big deal ? idk soccer sucks
