Lay off the Jameson's there's a good lad.
Reckons Ronaldo can't do for Portugal what Bale does for Wales
Just led them to Euro Champs glory and has scored 78 in 144 internationals.
He's got more goals than Bales has caps, and got 3 times as many internationals goals.
As much as I love Bale, and he is a national hero, there are different levels and he couldn't lace Ronaldos boots.

Because he's arrogant, ex united, good looking.etc he is not very well liked but I am starting to think that he is the best player of his generation, maybe the best of all time. Not as natural as Messi, Ronaldinho, Maradona but his will to win, and to be the best, really is something else.
To do it consistently, season after season, is just unbelievable.
I think you misunderstood what he said. They were talking about Bale's tracking back to prevent an Austria shot and he said you won't see Ronaldo doing that. They were just emphasising that Bale is a team player.
No misunderstanding. He drew comparison to Ronaldo, god knows why, we weren't even playing Portugal.
That was a good piece of tracking back from Bale but it doesn't epitomise anything between the 2 players. Ronaldo had done far more in his international and club career than Bale regardless of wether he's ever tracked back and made a vital tackle in his 144 caps. I don't know if he ever has, and I'd doubt Keith Andrews does either.
What I do know is he's got more international goals than Bale has caps, and led his team to a major tournament win last year. That's why Andrews drawing an unnecessary comparison between the two was just stupid. Especially as Bale is really struggling for form at Madrid at the moment, only highlighting how much they miss Ronaldo when he's out.
He can praise Bale without trying to make it Bale v Ronaldo, a match up Bale will never win.
It was the highest compliment he could give to Bale. You're still not happy.
I used to respect your football knowledge Polo mate, but anyone that thinks Ronaldo is better than Messi is talking absolute nonsense as far as I'm concerned.
To say Ronaldo does it year by year, sounds like you're implying that Messi doesn't!
I can understand what he is saying. Bale is perfect for Wales in terms of how he pulls the rest of the team together.
I doubt many international teams have the same togetherness as wales. Bale also does the dirty stuff for Wales which ronaldo doesn't do.
Ronaldo is obviously better than Bale but I wouldn't swap him for anyone in the world for Wales as we get everything from him that we can.
Each to their own mate. Messi is not the player he was imo and Ronaldo is getting better it seems.
As I said he wasn't blessed with Messis natural ability but his sheer will to win and be the best is what sets the two apart.
Messi looks to me like a footballer not enjoying his job anymore. It's a job to him where has Ronaldo is still like a little kid playing the game for the first time.
If you asked me the question 5/6 years ago I was Messi all day long but I've been converted to camp Ronaldo.
I don't buy into the messi being blessed with ability which ronaldo wasn't lucky enough to have. Messi was born with 2 feet the same as everyone else he has worked for a long time to be that good if anything Ronaldo is more forunate that Messi
But all the best players from premier league recently have moved to Spain Ronaldo bale suarez
Where as the best pl players aguero sanchez came from la liga but weren't wanted by the barca or real
