Ronaldos first World Cup was at 21, when he wasn't near the player he is today. He helped his team top their group, helped them on their way to beating Holland before the infamous game with England and the 'wink' before knocking us out on penalties. Lost to France in the semis but not a bad overall finish.
His second World Cup was in 2010, arguably the best footballer in the world at this time, never quite happened for him though, or Portugal. He seems to perform better at Euros, but being in Brazil where his language is spoken, perhaps he'll shine, I hope he does.
Not really sure why youve put Rooney there though, Rooney isn't anywhere near Ronaldos level and never will be. You'd think youd just put him on par with Messi when it comes to not performign at World Cups.

I put rooney in there because he is another highly rated player who has not delivered, obviously he is not in ronaldos class.
Roma looking very good i hope they win the league this season they play some very unitalian football.

Did they examine the net afterwards?
The entire Hoffenheim bench was there to check and complain to a ref, who waved on.

Isn't this particularly true for the younger superstars though? A lot of them seem unable to deal with the pressure, but with experience a lot of them turn it around it seems to me and deliver good tournaments starting somewhere around their mid to late twenties.
Looking at the golden ball winners (and runners up) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIFA_World_Cup_awards) I think it illustrates that a lot of the stars in these big tournaments have been relatively experienced players that have been at a world cup before. And a lot of them have been very highly rated players indeed.
I'm not saying that there aren't exceptions of course.
I wouldn't be surprised to see players like Rooney, Ronaldo and Messi put in very good performances at the World Cup in Brazil and to see some of the most highly rated young up and coming superstar struggle a bit more.

I concur.
Does anyone else think that Tiote is a shockingly bad footballer? For a DM type he ball watches continuously IMO.

This game looked promising in terms of Liverpool dropping points, but no chance of that now. Horrible defending by Saudi Sportswashing Machine, and a breaindead decision by Mbiwa. First Tiote just walks out from a position in behind his defense, and then Mbiwa does that. It always annoys the hell out of me when defenders does something like that. Just let the man finish. He might score, but at least your team is not a man down for the rest of the game. Plain stupidity.
