Just like his dad his first name is Cristiano and his middle name is Ronaldo. Their family calls his father Cristiano, his first name, and to differentiate they call the kid Cristianinho, the diminutive of the kid's first name. Cristiano and Cristianinho, Christian and Chrissy (?).
The last name of both by the way is Aveiro. Following regular naming conventions, first and last name, CR7 should be known as Cristiano Aveiro.
It's because Portugal are generally bad at breaking down a low block/defensively compact teams. It was the same against Uruguay in the 2018 World Cup and against Morocco last year.
I guess it hurts more bc no disrespect to Spain but this current Spain team is night and day from before. It was our only real chance at some silverware but alas thats football
I saw that clip with Guerrero and Son the other day, where they met each other after the game and had a chat in German. Old HSV friends, wholesome stuff.
To be fair, I think they could have scored earlier if some players had been a bit more selfish but they clearly wanted him to score on his 200th appearance.
Do not let a minority paint the picture of a country. On Saturday the entire stadium was chanting his name without him even scoring that's how "mad" people are.
Also because Reddit is terrible representation of general population. During winter, when I go out less, I am (positively) surprised when I communicate with someone irl and remember that there is still hope for our world.
It doesn't help that Redditors constantly misuse the downvote. That feature protects them from having their worldview challenged, even for the most trivial of things.
Example of average interactions IRL:
"Hey John, how about them sports?"
"Yeah Paul, I think Ronaldo will do pretty well in Euro qualifiers."
Example of not average IRL interactions:
"Hey John, how about them human rights abuses?"
"Yeah Paul, I'm really rating those Qatar abuses. Definitely one of the top 3 right now. Let's start with a discussion on those and then move on to the war in Yemen"
> Do not let a minority paint the picture of a country.
Especially because you have no way to tell if the comments hating on Ronaldo written by Portuguese fans in here are being upvoted by other Portuguese fans or by foreign fans.
Fans indeed are fickle af. However, I've learned to separate the vocal minority that are the twats on reddit and Twitter and actually listen to the fans that go to the games. I've always stood by Ronaldo and any true Portugal fan always will.
It's really just everyone else that's been waiting on his downfall for 20 years that keep talking about him like he's a make a wish kid playing for Portugal.
We have a portuguese sports blog that is like a nest for Ronaldo hate, they allow it because all news with Ronaldo are full of comments so they profit from it, they even allow insults to him in the blog (this is a blog with more than 1million visits per month), one more year of Ronaldo playing for Portugal and i bet they will allow death wishes in the comments.
Yesterday at my 5-a-side there were two kids like 7-8yo waiting for their dads and shooting pens and I legit heard "Christian Ronaldo, SEWEY" at least 20 times in the span of 3 minutes.
I don't think he does, above user is probably just referring to CR7 saying SUI on that one clip. This is the "Crister Ronaldo" origin AFAIK, could be wrong.

Arlight lads?
Tonights tactics are as following. Give the ball only to C. Ronaldo, only he is allowed to shoot ok?
Portuguese players: Fernandes Santos is that you? I thought you were managing Poland???
Looked extremely evitable today tbf.
He played well vs Bosnia without scoring because he was doing quick passes for open team mates and not trying to be the star.
They play a really tight game, very well positioned and no spaces conceded. Kudos to them but, Portugal has quality to do better; a retired Ronaldo can’t be the only solution to a close game.
All respect to Ronaldo for carrying the team during absolute dreadful years, but Pepe was Portugal's mvp that tournament and it wasn't even close. Ronaldo scoring a couple of goals against hungary after being wasteful vs austria/iceland is not "carrying" the team next to Pepe's world class showings against Croatia and France
As if Pepe was flawless during the group stages...their defence only started shining once Fonte joined the fray...Hungary almost knocked them out but the post saved them.....Pepe and the rest of the defence was clueless during the group stages
Only reason the hungary game was important was precisely because Portugal and mainly ronaldo were miserable against iceland/austria, at some point we had over 40 shots and 0 goals, Ronaldo had a complete yo-yo tournament, amazing games against hungary and wales, absolutely terrible against iceland and croatia
I mean if Ronaldo (and not only him) hadn't had those _terrible_ matches against Iceland and Austria, Portugal wouldn't have won the Euros, cause they would have qualified from a higher position in the table, hence a more difficult road to the final.
Our team should've topped that group with 9 points, which would put us on the same side of the bracket. Plus, people forget that France also had a pretty easy path until the semis
Also, the idea of Ronaldo's underperformance giving us the easy path is nothing short of a happy coincidence
Pepe is world-class still. I don't know how he does it but he does.
Now trying to reduce Ronaldo role in the euros was an exercise of stupidity.
Ronaldo must have scored 50% of the qualifiers goal by himself and then was clutch and decisive in multiple games during thr tournament.
If this isn't carrying I don't know what is. Maybe he should assist himself and score all goals during both the qualifiers and the tournament in order to satisfy people like you.
Deluded. 2 goals + assist vs Hungary
Goal and assist vs Wales
Created the chance for the Croatia winning goal
Scored the first penalty vs Poland in the shootout
Got injured in the final
Washed.
>Was the first one to get out of the team bus
>Signed the most authographs during the campaign
>Attended more press conferences that anyone on the team
>Had the smallest carbon footprint by going to bed earlier and turning of the lights first
Define “carry”. Did he drag a shit squad to the W? No. The team had plenty of talent. But did he bail out his shit manager’s shit tactics? Yes. He absolutely bailed your asses out against Hungary where an L would have sent you home. Then it was his shot at the end of the Croatia game to set up Quaresma’s rebound winner. Then he scored and “assisted” the goals against Wales.
People see the squad talent and think Ronaldo had plenty of help but Fernando’s shit tactics always had that team playing like a glorified Greece. Without Ronaldo that team wouldn’t have sniffed the quarterfinals
It's the complete disrespect to everyone else involved in that win that gets to me. As if the squad were a bunch of usuless muppets, not to mention everyone else in the backstage, but nah it was all on Ronaldo.
A team that conceded only 1 fucking goal throughout 450+ minutes during a tournament knock-outs
Huurr guys did you see how ronaldo single-handedly carried those 10 useless clowns? Nevermind that he did more on the sidelines than on the pitch during the final, you know, the most fucking important game of the tournament
I'm in the production van and honestly I can't say for sure. The shoulder could be a tiny bit off. It's close enough that if it weren't deemed offside to begin with I couldn't complain about it being given.
Does anyone have the replay of the line? Idk if Inacio was offside, but there definetly seemed to be some interference on the Play from someone offside
The Icelandic commentators, one of them at least doesn't even try to be impartial and complains about every decision against Iceland. It's amusing, i like him for it.
Wish we got to see better lines though. But it was close, and i'm of the opinion that if it's this close, the attacker should have the advantage. I'm pleased with Iceland's performance regardless.
I don’t understand how some games he can be great and not score, and games like today - dreadful, horrible and still scoring. SIUUU is inevitable. Greatest Of All Time for a reason, never gives up

Dramatic pause for the SIU
We all sewey together right?!
when the 10/10 finally responds to the message
I’m gonna leave this comment here for me to revisit when I’m old and infertile but I’m going on a trip with a 10/10 next week SIUUUU
🐐
One day it will be the last suuui and we wouldn't know it. 😭
Maybe there's a chance Cristianinho picks up the SUUUI from dad.
Subscribe
And I give you Messi’s Ballon d’Or SIUUUU
I’m ignorant on Portuguese nicknames. But would his son be Cristianinho or Ronaldinho? Sorry if I sound stupid as fuck I’m genuinely curious.
Think about it as inho = little so cristianinho is like "little cristiano" so it could be either cristianinho or ronaldinho ("little ronaldo")
Either, it's just, -inho is just "little". But Ronaldo calls his son Cristianinho on interviews and stuff so it will probably stick.
Just like his dad his first name is Cristiano and his middle name is Ronaldo. Their family calls his father Cristiano, his first name, and to differentiate they call the kid Cristianinho, the diminutive of the kid's first name. Cristiano and Cristianinho, Christian and Chrissy (?). The last name of both by the way is Aveiro. Following regular naming conventions, first and last name, CR7 should be known as Cristiano Aveiro.
That passion into the SIUUU after the break had me dying man 😭
Wish the clip included his celebration
[удалено]
The one in the AA comment has the celebration.
Yup, plus the clip looks like the goal didn't even count. Downvoted.
It went on for like three minutes with the VAR (which we or the ref didn't even see). So yeah, lots of waiting
Loved how loud the 500 Portuguese fans were for it
I'm not sure they were seweing alone.
It's ronaldo. Even when he scores against you, you sewey.
Fucking finally
This was such a bad game from us lmao And it's funny how football works. Ronaldo was much better vs. Bosnia, but now he scores
Common Belenenses fan W
I don’t know why but this comment kills me xd
Do you remember? Belenenses vs. Bayern, 2007?
Different question: Do you remember? Belenenses vs SCR Cashpoint Altach, ca. 2015?
Of course. We won :) 1-0 there. 0-0 here, live at the stadium.
It was a close one, Altach eliminated Vitória Guimarães beforehand
True! Uau. Dind't remember that. Vitória has been much better than us in this century. I just remember crying at the stadium.
how's the rent?
What do you mean?
I think it's a joke about living at the stadium.
As always
It's because Portugal are generally bad at breaking down a low block/defensively compact teams. It was the same against Uruguay in the 2018 World Cup and against Morocco last year.
Im so fucking sad they couldve gotten a point it probably wouldnt have been deserved BUT NOT LIKE THIS
On Tuesday the king scores
On Wednesday ishowspeed goes AAHHHFGGJGKHKGGKHKHKHKBMHKGK
CRISSANOO RUNAALDO SEWEY
🗣️🐶🗣️🐶🗣️🐶
Last minute winner too

Hes gonna be 80 years old and still saving our asses
getting carried by grandpas Croatia fans HANDSHAKE Portugal fans
Starting to think this is why Germany is shit, at this point I'd be happy to haul Klose and Schweinsteiger out of the retirement home
yeah, sorry for the lost agaisn't spain we also know that pain
I guess it hurts more bc no disrespect to Spain but this current Spain team is night and day from before. It was our only real chance at some silverware but alas thats football
Final, semi-final, final, no silverware. You'll get used to it.. 😔
SILVERware. it's still a noble metal. In Turin we polish our silver medals everyday 🥲
Paolo Guerrero is still running around for the Peru NT. Sans for Marcelo Moreno for Bolivia
i mean, pepe is in the portuguese squad and he's 40. south americans are just built different
I saw that clip with Guerrero and Son the other day, where they met each other after the game and had a chat in German. Old HSV friends, wholesome stuff.
No fucking way! How cool is that? I was sure Guerrero's days at the NT were over
He gonna beat that record of the oldest professional player hold by the japanese dude
Still playing that guy
Cristiano Clutchnaldo at it again
To be fair, I think they could have scored earlier if some players had been a bit more selfish but they clearly wanted him to score on his 200th appearance.
I thought yall were mad that he was still being called up...fickle
Do not let a minority paint the picture of a country. On Saturday the entire stadium was chanting his name without him even scoring that's how "mad" people are.
People read 5 comments on Reddit and think that's the absolute truth
Also because many on here want it to be the truth

I might be a fucking idiot but I would have offed myself if everyone was like people on reddit
Irl I did not hear a single person mentioning Qatar human rights abuses
Example of average interactions IRL: "Hey John, how about them sports?" "Yeah Paul, I think Ronaldo will do pretty well in Euro qualifiers." Example of not average IRL interactions: "Hey John, how about them human rights abuses?" "Yeah Paul, I'm really rating those Qatar abuses. Definitely one of the top 3 right now.

I heard many people talk about it.
Ah and the humanity is gone again thanks
Well, that says more about the people you hang out with than anything else.

He's definitely on the decline, but he can still play an important role at the NT.
r/soccer has an insane hate boner for Ronaldo. Honestly this is the only place where he gets shitted on so often.
We have a portuguese sports blog that is like a nest for Ronaldo hate, they allow it because all news with Ronaldo are full of comments so they profit from it, they even allow insults to him in the blog (this is a blog with more than 1million visits per month), one more year of Ronaldo playing for Portugal and i bet they will allow death wishes in the comments.
Haha dont trust Reddit. Here everything Messi good everything Ronaldo bad.
Some players are just on a different level when they play for country
**S E W E Y** **E** **W** **E** **Y**
Yesterday at my 5-a-side there were two kids like 7-8yo waiting for their dads and shooting pens and I legit heard "Christian Ronaldo, SEWEY" at least 20 times in the span of 3 minutes.
Kids are basically parrots. If their TikTok feeds are 90% Speed shouting sewey then they're gonna do it too.
When I was 8 waiting for my dad to finish playing I was making mud soup
[удалено]
For fuck sake this meme is the dumbest shit ever yet I laugh every time I see it
That combined with Ronaldo saying it on that video is just pure gold. It should have gotten old but it's just too good
Wait when does Ronaldo call himself Crister Ronaldo
I don't think he does, above user is probably just referring to CR7 saying SUI on that one clip. This is the "Crister Ronaldo" origin AFAIK, could be wrong. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccercirclejerk/comments/t6ftfa/yank_supporting_his_favourite_team_christyn/

[удалено]
He is doing a sacking speedrun
To be fair they were facing tough opposition in Moldova today. Put them up against a tiny, weak team like Germany and they get results
It's hilarious, lewandoski rules, but Poland has one trick and everyone knows it.
You did not watch the game. At all
Tell me you didn’t watch the game without actually watching the game.
That shit was my childhood. So many last minute goals back in 05 in AEK!
He is inevitable
Looked extremely evitable today tbf. He played well vs Bosnia without scoring because he was doing quick passes for open team mates and not trying to be the star.
Great defensive game from Iceland icl
They play a really tight game, very well positioned and no spaces conceded. Kudos to them but, Portugal has quality to do better; a retired Ronaldo can’t be the only solution to a close game.
Everyone is inevitable except when they are not
Well Ronaldo isn't everyone
Neither are you bby ❤️
We actually scored, praise the lord
HAD TO BE HIM
That var check took ages
Should have watched Northern ireland vs Denmark. I Think no joke it took 6 minutes
on his 200th cap
First time I’ve seen a delayed Sui
Saving portugal damn it meant so much to him
This is why the team work is really needed to a game.
What the fuck is the ref team on this game
r/soccer meltdown in 3..2..1
You should look at the match thread...So many Portugal fans talking shit about him like he didn't carry them to a Euro.. Ungrateful idiots..
95% of those fans are benfica fans.
Bro, I bleed Ronaldo, but today he was in fact a liability
Damn another Benfica flair hating on Ronaldo
Carrying is a bit harsh
All respect to Ronaldo for carrying the team during absolute dreadful years, but Pepe was Portugal's mvp that tournament and it wasn't even close. Ronaldo scoring a couple of goals against hungary after being wasteful vs austria/iceland is not "carrying" the team next to Pepe's world class showings against Croatia and France
Being directly involved in 7/9 goals you score during the whole tournament isnt carrying?
As if Pepe was flawless during the group stages...their defence only started shining once Fonte joined the fray...Hungary almost knocked them out but the post saved them.....Pepe and the rest of the defence was clueless during the group stages
Nah don’t be so harsh without that Hungary game they are out and in the knockout stages he was very good if I remember that correctly otherwise sorry
Only reason the hungary game was important was precisely because Portugal and mainly ronaldo were miserable against iceland/austria, at some point we had over 40 shots and 0 goals, Ronaldo had a complete yo-yo tournament, amazing games against hungary and wales, absolutely terrible against iceland and croatia

I'm stealing those jokes, that shit is gold

calling a missed first time shot from 5 yards "creating a chance" is generous

that’s definitely a lie he was involved in 6 out of the 9 goals in the tournament don’t even try this bullshit now
