Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima aka the GOAT just retired

[damnthosejs]

Both Ronaldo and Roberto Carlos had to leave their club teams because their fans were threatening to kill them

It's @*%%+! on how they had to end their careers. Same Fn people who supported them during the WC before.

It's kinda different with Corinthians fans. They were skeptical about bringing in Carlos and Ronaldo in the first place because of their age, so they were ready to complain the minute things went bad. This season was all about the Libertadores (South American champions league) and they lost in the first game to a team that they never should have lost to. Those fans are animals though. Definitely sad to see Roberto Carlos ending his career in Russia instead of home but safety is no joke there. The sport is just pretty damn serious.

Really? Thanks for telling me. Wish he was perfectly fine. I didn't follow soccer until I saw Ronaldo's strange hairstyle in the 2002 World Cup.

This. 
Corinthians fans (along with Flamengo fans) are definitely animals but even then Ronaldo defended them by calling them 'passionate' and haven't seen anything like this in his career. I mean, this is after his team bus gotten almost demolished. Ronaldo gets my respect, make fun of his weight all you want but to me, this guy never gave up. Injuries may have derailed him but he always found a way to come back and I can't imagine him playing with all that injuries mounting up and then to diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It's hard to just carry on a day when you have a thyroid problem let alone playing in any professional league. 

Much appreciated. Best ever done it.

No joke, these news made me sad 

So many things can be said about Ronaldo, but I'll just say "Thank you".

Og Ronaldo

This guy in his Barca/Inter days was a !%@#+#% monster... That combination of speed, strength and technique

you knew for sure you were watching a legend in the making.

Despite all his ability though, probably the most outstanding thing about this guy though was his on field demeanor. Son used to get cracked the MOST but he never used to make a meal of it. He would just get up, go down field, make a mockry of your defence and celebrate with the

It was a priveledge sir
