wtf is wrong with u @nytimes ? When a plane is taken over by terrorists, this action not labeled a “diversion.” How could u seriously describe a hijacking this way???

The arrogance. The lack of humility and the failure to realize that his time is up! He is tarnishing his past and his name with his high-handed attitude. The obsession with breaking records is blinding him to the point where he fails to grasp the reality of the times...

He left because he is nothing but an egocentric and petty child.

The truth? That you are old and don’t know when to hang them up?

The greatest legacy he could've have left the people of Portugal is to bow out from the international arena gracefully & gratefully. Not petulantly. He's too good a player, with a record most likely never to be equalled. It's a shame he is doing this to himself.

He is just playing hard ball with Portugal FA because he feels that they had done him wrong by not playing him in the match vs Norway. Now he is forcing them to come begging him and complying to his demands counting on his popularity among the portugal population.

What's Ronaldo made up in his head now? Be some conspiracy how Jorge Jesus and Portugal drove him out of football and the poor treatment he received. Honestly man just walk away and enjoy your life away from the game or become a coach.

He did not win the world cup. So he should not be complaining. He is playing in Saudia Arabia

Some people dont realise when they have had it good,and there Ego gets bruised easily,instead of it being all about me and knowing its a team game he is the one who should have made the decision easier for the manager,read the room Ronnie.

Siuuuu!! 😢

Oh please 🙄 @Cristiano. It’s ok to hang up the shirt at over 40. You have a great legacy already. Don’t let Bruno and co continue with their disrespect

The National Team isn't about just one person. Collective efforts wins trophies and glory!

NY Times claims they aren't partisan activists who post fake news. Here are just a few examples of NY Times TOTALLY NOT being partisan and posting fake news...

The truth is nature puts a limit on human beings, and despite Ronaldo’s amazing run, probably second only to Messi’s, eventually age hits you and you are no longer the most talented player on your team. It’s probably hard to accept, but there’s no way around this.
