I'd say Ronaldo is better off the ball. He's great at moving and finding space to be a target. He's truly a striker and a great one at that.

Last couple of seasons he rarely creates his own shot, but I still still scoring boatloads because he finds spaces and is able to have high volume of shots per game. His eagerness and desire to score is something to truly admire, as well as his work ethic.

Having said all that, Messi is still better :-)

Rafihna has a torn ACL. Bale has a sore foot. also apparently the ban is over and we can officially register Turan.

apparently the spanish FA said it was fine, but FIFA quickly shut it down. so we won't get Arda yet.

doesn't take rocket science to see that Messi is a better player than Cristiano.

However, I will give cr7 props for taking care of his body to maximun potential

The media sure did a great job fooling people to think that both of them are the greatest of all time.

if you are coming around second time it helps not to use almost exactly the same name as the first time

GMgoran's comparatively inconspicuous 'Macedonian Red' username is my personal favourite.

Who could this Macedonian fellow, who also supports Liverpool, with vehement disdain for Mourinho be?

It was days after he originally got suspended. :D

Totally not suspicious.

Because of the dupe account he got banned permanently. One of RealGM's greatest tragedies.

This a joke. They got an extension to sign Suarez, they should not be able to play any of their new signings until January.

Some weird things going on with that ban. I have no comment. We do need the depth pretty bad though.
