Aah! I HATE Cristiano Ronaldo!

First, let me revise my title, because not everyone dislikes the “other” Ronaldo. Just throw 40 or 50 unprovoked snide comments into a forum and you’ll see that some people actually respect the guy for his quick feet, moderate talents and insatiable appetite for trying to make the “Top 10 step-overs” highlight reel. “Ronaldo’s a great player,” they’ll say, “so leave him alone.”
Maybe. But at Manchester United he’s a midfielder that dances too much to deliver the ball with any consistency and for Portugal he’s a forward that can’t get through World Cup defenses by himself. The fans at this year’s Cup are reluctant to embrace or even praise the kid, and everyone’s got a joke to make when during the slow motion replays of his scowls.
You can see after almost every play that doesn’t end in a goal that he’s trying to communicate a simple message to his coach. “Get 10 better players around me and better refs and I’ll take this team to a championship!”
Finally there are hints of him leaving the devils next season. Amazing News! He was the reason I had to betray my old favs and cheer for arsenal the last season.
It’s not his fault, and his tantrums are exactly that. One day he will age, slow down, limit his over the ball and stop juking like he’s in a Nike commercial to pass back to his keeper. We can all root for him then, and marvel at how much better he makes his teammates because he’s so dangerous on the ball. He’ll score a lot of goals, win a lot of games and make a lot of money. But for now, Leave Man United!
