Add that to constant no shows in the Copa America tournaments, I don't think anyone seriously has a reason to think he's the best other than their hatred for Ronaldo just cos he played for Man Utd. Fortunately I'm a little bit older and wiser than most

Yeah, I think we can put that one to bed now.

So scoring a tap in and offside goal means he was great at the World Cup and Copa Americas?

No need to deny, as you're the only person I hear saying/maintaining that it's offside.

IMO he is the greatest tbh, his goal record is simply phenomenal.

There's some decent sides in the competition for the first time in a while, Dortmund, Bayern, Real, Barca, Juventus, PSG.....no real mickey mouse outifts, makes for an exciting competition at last.

Not sure he's quite there yet.

Has to do it for Argentina before I give him that tag line.

Ronaldo's is pretty phenomenal as well to be fair 188 goals in 186 games for Real.

I didn't see it but they were saying it was offside on ITV in the post match talk (the 2nd goal they said)

True.

Would have been the best of his era weren't it for Messi.
