Ronaldo has a pop at Messi

The Real Madrid star’s form has been a concern for Portugal at Euro 2012 and during the win over Denmark, Danish fans chanted Messi's name whenever Ronaldo was on the ball.

Ronaldo cut a frustrated figure throughout and he picked up a late yellow card. Following the game, Ronaldo was asked about the Messi chants and he responded with a dig at his great rival. He said: "You know where he was at this time [last year]? Do you know? He was being eliminated in the Copa America, in his own country. I think that's worse, no?"

If he had any character, he would have just said "fans will be fans. We got the win. That's all I care about." But he can't help himself. He has to get a dig in.

He should just say he's better looking, that argument always wins

I'm sure Messi could score some sweet sweet bishes

Arrogant prick

Messi is far superior anyway

I think it's good that Ronaldo is vocally frustrated, shows some character in itself . Im sure he's absolutely furious with himself more than some fans

The argument is going to continue because we already have one in the EURO thread.

A little petulant, but I guess that's what frustration does to you. Ronaldo was supposed to be the star of the show this time round, but Messi still finds a way to rear his head, even though he's not there

I always thought Ronaldo was a bit of a prick but he really fucked me off when just lay on the ground after Varela scored...

MEEEEEEEEEEEESSI MEEEEEEEEEEESSI MEEEEEEEEEEEESSI MEEEEEEEEEEESSI MEEEEEEEEEEEESSI MEEEEEEEEEEESSI

HE MAD

Kinda true. He's probably just pissed off that all anyone ever asks him about is Lionel Messi, you people seem to see it as 'I'm just gonna go and talk about Messi right now'. In reality it's probably more like 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi' 'Ronaldo, talk to us about Messi'.

This kind of reporting should have no place on serious sports pages. The TV commentator in the first Portugal game even commented on the size of the captain's armband CR7 had on. Suggesting its much larger than all the other ones he had seen.

Jesus wept. Give it a rest. There is enough real football out there to cover.

that armband thing is funny if true

So what? You don't think Messi gets asked about Ronaldo a lot? I don't recall Messi popping off about Ronaldo.

I'm fairly sure it's the standard UEFA armband.

Agreed.

Or if he was classy he could even give a little credit to Messi, say something like 'It just encourages me to match the skill of my great rival because he's an unbelievable footballer.' Makes him seem like a nice guy and probably diffuses the chants, because he's not letting it bother him. I should be in PR.

Ronaldo must hate Messi's guts

Everything he does Messi does better.

I like both.
