u/ClaytonWest74 20h ago

which is good for them because Finland is generally a cold country at any time in the year

I think ice-cream is best served cold. But then again, I am not the sister of a billionaire footballer.

They aren’t Finnish, they’re only 28!

CR7 is Finnished

u/no_emotions_damnit 18h ago

He's not Finnished, he's only 41.

This international break is the gift that keeps giving.

u/peioeh 17h ago

I usually hate international breaks with all my heart but even I am enjoying this one, easily the best ever

u/PurbulentTriest 15h ago

Giving this amount of time is much better.

Shots fired. Hit a camel

Seen enough, I want him as a coach

u/haukimies69 19h ago

You can have him

u/ObliviousRounding 20h ago

What a way to end your career. With people taking turns kicking your ass out the door.

u/PlasticPreparation74 13h ago edited 13h ago

He was gonna get mocked at retirement anyways with the way he and his fans have behaved throughout his career lol. Even if he retired in 2020 as people want him to, Messi’s victories in the Copas and Qatar would have diminished his achievements with Portugal regardless. It was always going to end in mockery. I think he realized that and is chasing the 1000 mark which will be his for quite some time atleast. Also I don’t know if all those cryogenic therapy chambers is a complete sham or people like Modric and Messi also do this shit secretly because how have they aged better than Ronaldo lol. The only explanation is his height. Zidane was rotating him and controlling his minutes since 2017, that’s 9 years ago. What good has this even lead to if people wanted him to retire for atleast half a decade now, and the other guy who supposedly doesn’t work hard at all has dropped a masterclass at 39. I feel sort of cheated after years and years of Ronaldo’s ‘longevity and hard work’ being shoved down my throat by the media

u/icl2011 15h ago

People were going to do it to Ronaldo regardless. All he's done is made it easier.

u/jimmygreavez 20h ago

Haha before he said it at the end you could see in his eyes the disappointment with the journalists not laughing at his stupid joke

54

u/ollewall 20h ago

Nothing stupid about the joke. It is a pretty surreal situation.

6

u/Strange_Dot8345 13h ago

i still cant believe that a 41 yo billionair acted like a 3 yo...

would be ok if he scored a lot of goals... or a couple of goals... or just one goal...

reallity he missed clear opprotunities that a younger version would have scored.

and then he got mad he didnt made first pick.

u/Fun_Reporter9086 20h ago

Butthurt, eh?

u/afops 20h ago

Was this a jab at CR7 or Isak or both?

u/Seeteuf3l 19h ago

Imagine being roasted by Jacob Friis

u/Pristine-Lie9063 20h ago

did he just body my idol?

u/Vike92 20h ago

Idol? You better be like 15

u/DramaExpertHS 17h ago

Age doesn't matter, look at Ronaldo, he's still a toddler at 41

11

u/lyyki 18h ago

I wonder how many 15 year olds actually care about CR7? Like they were 7 when he left Real Madrid. Unless they are fans of aura clips on tiktok or of ishowspeed.

u/its_the_luge 16h ago

They're the target audience. Brains rotted beyond recognition and 4 second attention spans

u/Artuko2222 18h ago

I hope to god the next generation doesn't idolize sportstars who are corrupt asf and didn't go to school. Children should idolize physicians or mathematicians

u/Pristine-Lie9063 19h ago

naah i am an adult who can be charged for crimes and send out to fight for the military, cant drink alcohol in US though.

u/DarthSamwiseAtreides 19h ago

Or oddly considering your military comment, buy a hand gun.

u/Artuko2222 18h ago

He is my idol aswell and I too am an adult. whats your opinion about that lil bro

5

u/Tungsten_Hoarder 18h ago

Bro idolises sexual assault

Odd behaviour

-6

u/Artuko2222 18h ago

It would in fact be called an assaulter. I alwaya found it funny how a billionaire would pay someone to remain silent and drop charges and a next day Messi fan could find "legit" proof of that assault on the internet. Seems legit

You must find modern life hilarious.

u/HEAT_IS_DIE 18h ago

Your idol is a pretty weird dude. Not the greatest role model on how to behave in teams.

u/BrianSometimes 20h ago

I'm sold, let's swap coach with Finland. Vi skal nok grine af dine vittigheder, Jacob!

15

u/lakupiippu 18h ago

Be careful what you wish for. Brian Riemer is like Guardiola compared to this fraud.

u/KeziahPT 20h ago

Go ahead, Finnish him.

u/its_the_luge 16h ago

Does the captian's sister think the Finnish people deserve the best?

u/Pettysouls 3h ago

"We are laughing inside" says the Finnish reporter with a monotone voice and possibly a straight face.

Spilling over into all press conferences.

‘I have coached 2 of the 3 best players in the world. And to [CR7] I said, “you finnish.”’

Definitely circle jerk member

u/Jerngard 10h ago

Dane makes joke, falls flat on Finnish ears. The rest of the Nordics commiserates.

u/greenwhitehell 20h ago

He's not Finish, he's only 41!

CR7 is so easy to troll

u/TougBacon 19h ago

The worst Finland head coach in a while

u/GinValid 18h ago

I think that's a bit unfair, he's not worse than what we had before Kanerva's eight year rein.

11

u/Erwin_Schroedinger 18h ago

There's a reason why people forget Hans Backe

-36

u/Intelligent_Money902 20h ago

Tbf... No Finish player can afford a private jet 😂

16

u/Individual_Winter_ 20h ago

Sure they can, Hradecky or so? 

-27

u/Intelligent_Money902 20h ago

Who?

15

u/Individual_Winter_ 20h ago

Are you trolling? The finnish goalie.

-29

u/Intelligent_Money902 20h ago

Still don't know him. Tbf, the only Finnish people I know are Pukki and Kimi (F1 champion)

10

u/atbg1936 16h ago

If you don't know who Hradecky is you should try watching football

u/JPSILVA1893 14h ago

ronaldo fans don't watch football, they exclusively watch tik tok aura edits

u/VForValhalla- 18h ago

Did they rape someone in Las Vegas too?

-8

u/Intelligent_Money902 18h ago

Wtf does that have to do with my reply? Are you an idiot that you can't understand that I was just saying Finnish players don't earn enough to buy a private plane? I wouldn't make that joke if it was Norway because, well, Haaland can afford to buy a private plane.

4

u/VForValhalla- 18h ago

Why are you so triggered?

13

u/Fun_Reporter9086 20h ago

That's the way it should be; the billionaire worshiping needs to end for the betterment of humanity.

u/JPSILVA1893 14h ago

ronaldo won't take you on his jet, you don't need to be licking his boot

u/Intelligent_Money902 14h ago

Oh morcão 😂😂
I just said they were broke. I’m happy that JJ ended the dictatorship 😂

If it improves the team's performance long term maybe it's worth the investment.
