Not really, I despise Trump but he does have charisma, that's why there so many who blindly follow him.

Ronaldo has many qualities but he isn't charismatic and the comparisons to Best and Maradona don't really work.

I think the notion of people disliking Ronaldo for his arrogance and narcissism is BS, tbh. Players like Maradonna or George Best were no less narcissistic and people found them somewhat amusing and entertaining precisely for their larger-than-life image. I think with Ronaldo, it's more aesthetics and appearances than the actual substance of his character. Something about his preening that many dislike.

Definitely the r@pe thing for me but I’m quite old fashioned.

But people aren't claiming they dislike Ronaldo because he lacks charisma (I certainly believe he has charisma). They're referring specifically to his perceived narcissism and arrogance - but they ignore these character traits in other players they like. Even Messi (who I love) has always had it in him to throw a strop when he doesn't get his way. I remember he and Pep had some issues when Pep wanted to rest him for games, cos the guy wanted to play every single minute, and he's just about the only player Pep ever managed who Pep could tolerate for leisurely strolling around the pitch and not pressing because Pep was probably terrified of getting on his bad side and damaging team morale. And there was his PSG stint where he apparently got along with hardly anyone and the fans themselves couldn't wait to see the back of him. Ronaldo isn't that different from most egotistical footballers.

That's why you dislike him: "the r@pe thing"? And you have evidence he did "the r@pe thing"?

Just the medical reports, testimony and settlement but I’m not a court of law snd can think and do what I like.

Yes, people dislike Ronaldo because of his narcissism and arrogance which is amplified because he lacks charisma.

Messi obviously has arrogance (and a level of narcissism too, he wouldn't be the player he is without it), but unlike Ronaldo seems happy to keep out of the spotlight when he can. Hence why he doesn't model his own brand of underwear or have 2 of his own museums.

Ronaldo is different from other players because he's Ronaldo and he has created an huge brand off the back of his talents and character, one that lacks charisma.

Funny but I agree he is a very unlikeable character. We go to Portugal every year, I’m learning the language and they are passionate about their football. I should really want them to do well but for some reason (I guess my dislike for players like him and Fernandez) I’m always wanting them to get stuffed.

It might be the Leeds in me but I don’t think it’s as deep
as that. I just don’t like either of them and if pushed also a few others in the Portuguese team!

Just something about them.

A lot of United fans feel the same about them both, so don't beat yourself up about it.

Haha - no way beating myself up but I didn’t want anyone to think I didn’t like them because they played for Man U.

Ronaldo has been a great player but his antics, especially as an international, have really made me dislike they guy. Also I get sick of seeing his image all over Portugal in his underpants 🤣🤣🤣
