Some people only look at Ronaldo's current condition, but they forget that in the previous 5 editions of the World Cup he made a big impact. I saw a comment on social media “the previous 5 editions Ronaldo carried 10 people, and this edition 10 people carried him” I think it's a comment that does happen. And in the current Portugal squad, even though he can't be at his best on the pitch, he can transmit his mentality to his teammates.

The coach also has his reasons for bringing Ronaldo into the squad. Just like Carlo Ancelotti did in Brazil when he included Neymar in the squad. There was a lot of debate about that too, as many thought there were other players who were more deserving.

I respect all the things Cristiano Ronaldo has shown and achieved in his career which has yet stopped but I really disagree with you about his "big impact on previous 5 World Cups" which is simply not accurate.

The highest position he has ever reached in World Cup is in 2006 with a fourth position but he was a young player in that World Cup and he was led by other legendary players like Figo, Deco, Pauleta. He was not a captain or a key player in that World Cup, now let's see what he did in other World Cups. If you actually watched those World Cups from 2010 to 2022, or you can search for information, you will easily see that Cristiano Ronaldo made great disappointment in those World Cups.

The exception is World Cup 2018 when he scored a spectacular hat-trick against Spain but Portugal did not go too far in 2018 tournament. Generally, as a captain of Portugal in World Cups from 2010 to 2022, Cristiano usually made disappointment rather than impression.

You also have to look at what their squad was like back then, we can't just look at everything from one side, but also from different sides. Does Portugal have a very solid squad? As far as I know, I have seen a solid squad from Portugal only in the last few years. And keep in mind that before Ronaldo they couldn't do much either. But in the Ronaldo Era they can make a lot of surprises.

I don't mean to say it's thanks to Ronaldo, but we can see how influential he is, especially in mentality. In the Euros they were able to get great success by winning the championship. Portugal is not a country like other countries that have a history of success with champions, we also have to see that.

This is the reason why we should look at the whole view of situation, since Portugal before is not considered as power house team. And they just became strong teams as many years past. But we can see on era of Ronaldo, his presence and also mentality lift his team.

They might not became a top country at that time, but he really help Portugal to push and compete for possible titles. Portugal success before is mixed with the development of their team before and also by help of Ronaldo's presence, the credit cannot be given to single person only.

But man today Portugal is a A class team, before in the early 2000 they were a B+ or a team with no so much history who always was there nearby of becoming a class A team but since the arrival of Cristiano Ronald and in the late 2010 when Portugal start to win the eurocup and some Nations Leagues they are now between the high level teams of europe, i know maybe they dont have the history of other but they are there by performance.

All that you said here are true, which I 100% agree to, since Cristiano Ronaldo emerge in this Portuguese team, they have been up there competing with the very best, and it's because of his presence they are tag as one of the favourite for this world cup event, because no player in the history of Portugal brings such influence on and off the pitch like Cristiano Ronaldo.

I would have love it, if they can win it and bring his glorious footballing career to a close, because if they cannot win it now that he is still available, I doubt if Portugal will ever be this competitive to the extent of winning it later in the future.

Portugal is a respectful team in World Cup since the 2000s. They had never win the cup but they had iconic moments and big stars who graved their names in the football history. Since the 2000s, they have became a permanent guest in every Mondial, being qualified for 6 consecutive World Cup tournaments, but without reaching the finals at anytime. Their best position was back in 1966 when they got the third place. However, I guess Portugal national team has a large fan base due to Ronaldo great performance with or without his national team. Watching Portugal playing was always a great pleasure for every football fan.

A lot of people want this 2026 tournament to be won by Portugal, just so Ronaldo would have some bragging rights and yeah, they are an important team in this tournament but unfortunately, these wouldn’t guarantee them the cup, not even the qualities in the team except they are able to play like a team. Most players in the Portuguese team don’t really agree and work well with Ronaldo. They are not open to creating clear chances or not to be selfish with the ball when Ronaldo is open for passes and that’s one of the challenges their team face. Hope they are able to work that out and if that is done, I think Portugal would make good progress in this tournament.

Ronaldo is different from the rest of the team. You’re saying Portugal would be better off without Ronaldo on their roster, right? Here’s the thing: the current Portugal team is famous in soccer because of Ronaldo. Ronaldo instills a winning mentality in the squad. He’s the kind of player who makes opponents think about how to stop them. One thing that makes me happy about the current Portugal squad is their mentality, even though I’m not a fan of Portugal’s national team.
He’s certainly not young anymore. His physical condition has also changed, but soccer isn’t an individual sport, and Ronaldo is still capable of carrying the team.

Some people only look at Ronaldo's current condition, but they forget that in the previous 5 editions of the World Cup he made a big impact. I saw a comment on social media “the previous 5 editions Ronaldo carried 10 people, and this edition 10 people carried him” I think it's a comment that does happen. And in the current Portugal squad, even though he can't be at his best on the pitch, he can transmit his mentality to his teammates.

The coach also has his reasons for bringing Ronaldo into the squad. Just like Carlo Ancelotti did in Brazil when he included Neymar in the squad. There was a lot of debate about that too, as many thought there were other players who were more deserving.

Ronaldo’s legacy with the Portuguese national team is undeniable. The notion that Ronaldo carries the weight of 10 players—or an entire team—on his shoulders is deeply etched in history. This was most evident when Portugal won the Euro.
Roberto Martinez is well aware that Ronaldo possesses the energy to inspire the team to win this tournament. Just as France included Kante in their squad.

Group K: Portugal vs. DR Congo
Group L: England vs. Croatia
These two matches in these two groups are predicted to be extremely close.

You are right about that, it can be said that Ronaldo's presence motivates other players to work harder like Ronaldo did. Ronaldo was born from his hard work, he is one of the players who in my opinion deserves to be a role model for hard work during his career. Indeed, previously there were many big names who came from Portugal, but I felt the impact given was different from what Ronaldo gave.MS

I also agree that it's a combination of team development and so on. The development they show is also not obtained in an instant way, but the presence of Ronaldo gives its own role to what they can show at this time, that's my opinion.

Good thing you see the reason why some persons choose to watch Messi than Ronaldo. We all know that Portugal have good players and these guys can play very well without Ronaldo but when he's with the team they play to him and it is clear that they want him to be on the spotlight but with that mentality they can't operate as a unit. If he retires today, they won't miss him because of how he has made everything about himself. Portugal for me can't be among the top 4 countries to make it to the semi final and they look more as a team that will struggle when the game start getting heated. In the group stage I'd say Portugal will have a smooth ride but after that the game will definitely change and they look more as a team that can't handle much pressure and that will come in at the knock out phase.

These players directly competed with each other for titles in La Liga, Champions League and Ballon d'Or in many seasons so comparing them with each other is kind of very natural among football fans. Since World Cup 2022, four years ago, these players moved from Europe to the USA and Saudi Arabia for their career with different pathways and no longer compete with each other at club level.

Since then, only big national tournament like World Cup is possible for Messi and Ronaldo playing in a same tournament at world class competition. Messi is younger than Ronaldo, and with old players three-year difference is considerable, and it seems affecting Cristiano Ronaldo a lot. It's not my biased thinking to defend a bad performance of Cristiano Ronaldo at all but surely next three years Messi will be a worse version than he is now.

right now on rollbit, there’s 23% chance and 4.3 odds that messi will be the world cup’s top scorer. messi scored a hat trick in argentina’s first world cup match, and as far as i’m concerned, the top scorer title in this tournament will go either to him or to mbappé. a 23% chance for the goat of soccer and the world cup seems like a very low odds to me, so i think it’s worth a try.

Damn this one is impressive prediction for now. Btw Rollbit has the option to early sell? Like Polymarket. Then I would participate on this maybe. If messi play one more math in WC this odd will definitely goes lower and it would be perfect time to make an exit with profit. So basically a win win situation. I think messi can achive this if they can goes atleast to semifinal , although I want him to grab the WC trophy for one more time. It's sad that Neymar is not on the field this time.

I cannot proudly argue this if Messi would become the top scorer in this world cup competition because this is just the apex of the tournament and there are several matches to play before we can easily predict who the top scorer is going to be.
As we move closer to the end of the world cup tournament, the odd will reduce significantly.

To early to tell if Messi will became the top scorer in world cup, but what good thing to look at is he's currently leading on the race right now https://khelnow.com/football/world-football-fifa-world-cup-top-scorer-assists-clean-sheets-after-turkey-vs-paraguay-202606

But the race is to tight because we could see on that list that there are other players have same score. But good to see the legend is on top and that make adds an exciting situation to look forward on World cup.

There’s still a 23% chance. I don’t think this percentage will necessarily increase significantly since Messi has only played one match. Yesterday, Oyarzabal nearly matched Messi, but he was substituted after Spain had already secured a win over Saudi Arabia.
On the provisional list of top scorers for the 2026 World Cup, Undav (Germany) and Jonathan David (Canada) are tied with 3 goals each.
If Messi scores against Austria, we’ll see if he can surpass his 2022 World Cup total of 7 goals.

we’ll see if these odds change in tonight’s match against austria. i think messi might score a goal today as well, but i don’t think this match will be as easy as the one against algeria. the odds for argentina look pretty good, but it might be wise to stay cautious. i hope messi scores a goal or two; i’ve been watching him with admiration throughout this world cup.

i still think it’s not impossible for messi to become the world cup’s top scorer. his biggest rival is mbappé, and if he can overtake him, i don’t think the other players will be able to catch up to him. it’s natural for some players to be at the top of the scoring charts by chance in the early matches.

The percentage will increase based on the goals Messi will score after the two match that's left for the Argentina on the group, let's say Messi scored a hard trick on each of this match he will have 9 goals, and that's when this percentage will increase a lot because as a scorer like him whenever he has much goals difference with other players they wouldn't  keep a race with him but however he has only scored three goals and we have some other players from different countries who have also scored the same goals as Messi so actually he has a lot of competitors now.

I would like to bet on Messi, Mbappe or Haaland as best goal scorer in this World Cup but Haaland has very low chance of winning it. Because Norway will very likely not be able to go too far while Messi and Mbappe can go farther with their national teams. With more matches to play, these players have better opportunities to score more goals than Haaland.

Jonathan David has similar issues like Haaland and Canada are even weaker than Norway. Unday if is able to maintain his form, can be an interesting candidate because Germany have potential of going far. Spain can go far but Oyarzabal is not like a goal-productive striker through his career from club to Spanish national team. He has played for Spanish national team in some World Cup and Euro but my impression about him is wasting too many opportunities.

The percentages will continue to change. Yesterday, in the match against Austria, Lionel Messi scored two more goals, making him the provisional top scorer with five goals, followed by Kylian Mbappé with four goals—he scored two in the second round as France defeated Iraq 3-0.

Having watched Argentina play in two matches, I’ve come to the conclusion that they’re a great team, and their unity in supporting Lionel Messi is remarkable. They’re willing to do whatever it takes to help Messi lead Argentina to success—both individually and as a team—to emerge as champions.

Messi’s individual competition for the top scorer title will play out much like it did in the previous World Cup against Kylian Mbappé.

after i shared this, messi scored two more goals in the match against austria, and now his chances of becoming the world cup’s top scorer have increased even further. messi continues to single-handedly score for all of argentina’s goals. he’s the best in the world. if anyone bet on this, congrats  .

i couldn’t find this market on rollbit right now, but it will likely open after england’s match. it’s normal for it not to be open all the time, since odds can change quickly between matches.

I believe that betting on Messi as the top scorer of the World Cup right now could be very risky. This is because while he has 5 goals, Mbappé has 4, Haaland has 4, and there are other players with 3 goals who are in national teams that could advance to the next stage, and even in that stage, their strikers could continue scoring many goals. That's why, in my opinion, betting on Messi as the top scorer of the World Cup is very risky.
