best only scored that goal because he was playing in america where the defenders have no clue what they’re doing!
Ronaldo deserves all the credit….plus he’s portuguese!

C Ronaldo´s free kicks will be known as “The Rocket-Ronaldo”, instilling fear and terror in the enemy´s goal… :-)
It´s not every day a 40 year old record gets broken…

What is ridiculous is an american talking about the notion of what’s unnatural in football… oops, meant soccer, forgot you guys refer to football as something else… hmm, maybe that was the problem. :P
I don’t like Ronaldo’s personality either, but he is THE BEST right now, actually he’s better than BEST (yes, my pun was intended :S), it’s all nice and dandy to do what the video shows in 1970’s MLS (i don’t know what it was called then), but try that in today’s EPL. :)

I’ve watched videos on cristiano ronaldo’s technique many times, and it’s so unnatural for me to replicate. the way he strikes the ball is a result of years upon years of practicing essentially what is the wrong form of striking a ball. but he makes it work, it’s ridiculous.

The commentary on that video is laughably atrocious. Not much has changed in that area, I see…

If Ronaldo wasn’t a fucking pretty boy douche, he’d already be one of the best of all-time in my books. Alas, he’s a fucking pretty boy douche. But those free kicks…

sad that a great man like best is losing a record to ronaldo.
