Zlatan v Ronaldo to play at World Cup 2014

kwestfan08

Torn here. Massive, bordering on extreme man-love for these two gents. Ronaldo brought me so much joy as a United fan, can turn a game in an instant an will go down as one of the best ever.

Zlatan is well....Zlatan. The majesty of his play, gracefully gliding into space and unleashing untold misery on defences, the flicks backheels and THAT overhead kick. I've also back a Swedish striker for top scorer since Euro 2004 so for nostalgia sake would like to keep that going.

Luckily I'll be in the Aviva tonight so I'll not have to worry about them but Tuesday will be tough. I guess if I had to pick it would be Ronaldo but only in a gut-wretching Sophies' Choice kind of way.

I like neither of them. But I dislike Ibrahimovich more.......the man has class on the field but zero class off it. His arrogance is unmatched. And he's Swedish. A country with the personality and warmth of a doorknob.

So come on Ronaldo & Portugal!

Aye ok.

Lets see..off the top of my head.

2004 - Arsenal 2 Man U 4, scores twice.

2008 - Scores a vital goal away to Roma, scores and is awarded man of the match in the CL final.

2009 - Decimates Arsenal single handily at the Emirates

2011 - Scores the winning goal in the Copa Del Rey final vs Barcelona.

2012 - Scores winning goal in the Nou Camp to secure the title for Real Madrid, also scores a winning goal in a vital game away to Atletico. He also scored in the semi final second leg vs Bayern and put in a tremendous performance vs Holland for Portugal.

2013 - Destroys Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey, scores another hat trick away to Atleti. Scores in both games vs Man Utd, scores vs Dortmund to give Real a sniff of a chance.

So you're either just a WUM or unbelievably ignorant.

You're missing the point buddy. Scoring does not necessarily equal dominating. He has never dominated against Barca. Roma and Arsenal are not elite.

Define domination?

Also, it's simply not true to say he's never "dominated" against Barca.

You also said big games, those are all big games.

Stop moving the goal posts.

Dear lord. Cringe all over here.

Im reserving my judgement on Ronaldo till he dominates and scores 10 goals against every team in the world Ted.

Not to mention the goal he scored vs Fulham to give United the league or the 40 yard screamer he scored against Porto to put United into the European cup final. Some people haven't got a clue

If he doesn't score 100 goals per season he's a failure tbh

shrewdness

Amusing to see there are still those who won't give Ronaldo the credit he deserves, no point in arguing with them at this stage.

He's the best player in the world at the minute imo and I'm happy to see him take a step closer to the World Cup tonight. I'm a big fan of Zlatan aswell, but simply put he's no Ronaldo.

The Swedes are vile, boo'ing the Portugal national anthem like that.

Hope they get a beating tonight.

Sickening that was. Couple of goals early will shut them up.

Unlike the swedes tbh. Was silence observed for the Swedish anthem in Portugal?

Very unlike the Swedes, strange that

Too Tough To Die

Typical Swedes.

Swedes gathered outside the hotel the Portugese were staying at last night, doing there best to disturb them

RONALDOOOOOOOOOO

No Swedish ladies at the world cup now. Damn you Ronaldo!

Good finish by Ronaldo but Larsson`s miss was quite a moment of regret

Corvo

That was fantastic. What a ball from Moutinho and a great run and finish from Ronaldo.

Zlatan? Muahahaa
