You know so many of you portuguese people are constantly speaking badly about Ronaldo and it is really annoying. My father and all my uncles all they do is say bad things about Ronaldo and how Portugal never will win the big games. I always wonder if the older generation of portuguese people are just so used to not qualifying or having decades of portuguese teams that are not world class. The thing that nobody seems to grasp is Ronaldo since 2004 has done so much for portuguese soccer indirectly that always goes unnoticed. Just by having him on the national team has always opened up new scouts and has helped pave the way for other portuguese players to move to bigger teams. Do you think guys like Coentrao, Nani, Pepe, Veloso etc...would be on these big clubs without the attention first coming from Ronaldo. Look at the under 20 team that went to the world cup final last year. WHo do you think those kids look up to? Who do you think the 5 and 6 year old kids in portugal are looking up to when they dribble the ball up and down the field non stop all day. I can tell you now it is not Joao Moutinho. Everyone needs to stop and especially the older Portuguese generation. I am so sick of standing up for this team the past 8-10 years to my uncles and my father. At times I almost feel more portuguese then my parents who were born and raised there. In the united states all you here about is negative things about portugal and how they are not that great. Then sadly enough the portuguese people say the same things. I don't care who wins or loses but if you are portuguese and can't see what Ronaldo does for this team and country you are being blinded by results and the media. Think back to the past 3 or 4 major tournaments and how well Portugal has done for a country of only 10-11 million people. They have been a top 7 or 8 team in the world for the last 5-6 years. Open up your eyes everyone and get behind this freaking team.
