Appie Culé(@appiecule):For years, they’ve been downplaying Messi’s achievements by saying South American national teams are weak and that Brazil is the only strong one. Just a reminder: Ronaldo was knocked out of the 2018 World Cup in the Round of 16 by Uruguay. And in this World Cup, he faced Colombia, finished as the worst-rated player on the pitch, and managed just three shots across the entire 90 minutes. Only one was on target—and it came from that silly free kick he decided to take. He even lost top spot in the group and ended up with an easier path because of one of those “weak” South American teams… or so they say. 😅
