James O’Brien2026-06-22T19:42:58.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed, Ronaldo owns that record.

Tom Harris2026-06-22T20:22:58.000Z

ffs always the same bias. Messi gets easy groups.

James O’Brien2026-06-22T21:03:58.000Z

Give Pele some respect. He did it in era of proper defending.

James O’Brien2026-06-22T21:48:58.000Z
