30 minutes in the first half of France match

[gmlfx02]

At 45 years old in 2030, staying at the level required for a FIFA World Cup would be an extraordinary challenge. Even though Cristiano Ronaldo has maintained exceptional fitness throughout his career, age naturally affects speed, recovery, and endurance.

 

That said, football has seen a few players compete into their 40s, especially in positions that demand less sprinting. If Ronaldo were selected in 2030, it would likely be because he could still contribute through experience, leadership, and finishing ability rather than relying on the explosive pace that defined his younger years.

Just missed penalty

Tbh 2030 feels like a stretch even for him, but seeing that "just missed penalty" line stings more than the age debate lol

[ravenick]

Tbh that penalty miss hurts more than any age talk, penalty drama just hits different when it's Ronaldo

[Silver00000]

France really had a good possession difference in the first half 

[Runeerra]

Tbh 2030 is wild to think about, but that penalty miss line hit way harder than I expected lol

[havenon]

That penalty miss hit different, ngl. Feels like the kind of moment that'd haunt him way more than any talk about 2030 ever could.

[frankiique]

yeah that penalty miss hit different, ngl. Feels like the kind of moment that'd haunt him way more than any talk about 2030 ever could. ✨🚀

love this sport

The whole 2030 scenario feels like a distat hypothetical compared to a missed penalty right now, which is the kind of immediate sting that sticks longer. France being up 2 0 anyway sort of softens it, but that individual error will replay in his head more than any future tournament selection debate.

2 0 France and Ronaldo blows it, parlay loking cooked

[gauzelike0]

was that penalty miss after a long var check too?

[irisixori74]

My Sunday league keeper saved one just like that.

[MessiCr7]

no good

[bihhx]

?

[Irisirva]

i dont think experience matters that much when you cant keep up physically. the game is so fast now even smart positioning wont save you if youre a step behind all match

Man my dad still talks about Roger Milla dancing at the corner flag in 94, age really just changes the highlight reel from sprints to shithousery. If CR7 actually makes 2030 they might just wheel him on for free kicks and penalty mind games.
