Just in case y’all are OOTL, this is like if LeBron became washed and went to China
Bag secured
How long until NBA players get paid like that? 🤔
All time soft move by CR7. The bag is insane though hard to say no to that
I’m far from an expert on soccer discourse, but I have to imagine that 2022 has been a dream come true for Messi stans and a total nightmare for CR7 stans
It’s just a very hypocrite move for Ronaldo after the Piers Morgan interview, had he Not done that And joined them last summer nobody would’ve talked about it the same way we do now
No lie if Lebron goes to China he may become first ever Athlete who is playing to become a billionaire
Imagine LeBron signed for $250m per year playing for North Korean Basketball Association, paid in crypto.
Messi vs Ronaldo is such a forced debate
Messi is clearly the better player
This is probably the best move for him a terrible year with losing his son,daughter being hospitalized and then all the sporting stuff. He’ll get away from the media. Zlatan did something similar came to MLS then returned back to Europe and won the league with AC Milan
Yeah, but Bron, Messi and Steph still have souls
Why they use the pic of Steph grocery shopping for wonder bread? Lol
Ronaldo going out like Iverson
IIRC Messi’s contract was almost paid with the merchandising after they got him. Thousands of jerseys and shit (Almost the same but with less money happened with Wade after he came back).
The thing is… would you buy a Al-Nassr jersey?
What happened to the 250 million per year contract everyone was talking about ?
He can leap Messi in pay but will never leap him in skill
Guy flat out fails at his last three clubs, was bad/peripheral/benched in the world cup, realising he can no longer play at a decent level, settles for cash, and off to play in a league where nobody can name another player.
This is the epilogue cutscene after you complete football, playing as Messi
Legacy points deducted
