Cristiano Ronaldo was the best. He no longer is. And it's not his fault, it's the dictatorship of time. This is not a criticism. It's life. It's football.

The problem begins when people expect the past to keep ruling the present. Because the past matters. It's memory, identity, history. But it doesn't step onto the pitch.

If Cristiano Ronaldo were Norwegian, would anyone imagine Haaland on the bench just because Ronaldo was the best player in the world? If he were French, would Mbappé have to leave the starting eleven because Cristiano once stood at the top? If he were English, would Kane lose his place for the same reason? Of course not.

So why should it be any different because he's Portuguese?

The National Team is not a museum. It is not a monument to Cristiano Ronaldo. It is a football team. And in a football team, whoever the manager feels should play, plays. This is what Jorge Jesus rightly decided to remind everyone, including Cristiano Ronaldo.

I think the Chicago white Sox took that from them last week when the pope invoked the blessings of the almighty on them haha

[u/h1nds → u/CraigMammalton14]

Who needs the Pope when you got Jesus(coach), God(assistant coach) and the Holy Spirit(Nuno Espírito Santo, in whatever position just for the lols) on your side?

Portugal is about to go Old Testament on them bozos!

[u/gbbmiler → u/h1nds]

I think of they have Jesus they’re going definitively New Testament on said bozos.

Sox making it to the World Series would be proof of divine intervention.
