The waffling about Ronaldo is what I cannot understand. Even if he scores a hundred goals today, it is against Uzbekistan; a team whose name is almost as difficult to spell as its lack of football is to explain. I genuinely don’t get the hype.

Messi is breaking the World Cup all-time goal record and Ronaldo is stat-padding against Uzbekistan!
There are levels to this game! 😂🤝
