Not a bad goal. A shot to nothing. Matt Le Tissier scored a much more impressive goal from a much narrower angle a few years ago, but he wasn't a "pin up" so hardly anyone talked about it.
The greatest footballer in the world would not continuously throw himself to the ground to try and get dodgy free kicks. Ronaldo has some talent, but there are others more worthy of the accolade.
Ronaldo is a worthy best player in the World. He always puts in 100% and can play up front or on the wing and generally when he plays well his team win.
Manchester United with Ronaldo are unbeatable. Without him they are also rans.
I was speaking unbeatable "over a season" not in any single game - because obviously other players play a part.
At the moment I can see them winning everything this year even though their defence is suspect at times now Ferdinand and Vidic are fit again they should be back in gear by the semi final.
Arsenal play wonderful football, But without an end result. Chelsea have a dreadful defence. Liverpool are unpredictable. The rest of Europe are also rans.
The best player in the World is Messi, Ronaldo does not come close this season.
Also if you forget the sensationalist press stories regarding the "dreadful defence" of Chelsea you will see we've conceded the least goals of all the Premier League clubs, even allowing for Cech's couple of howlers against Boton (& of course Liverpool in the CL).
