Frank’s laugh at 23:46 is one of the greatest moments I’ve ever heard on this show 😂😂

Frank's laugh towards the end is like a James Bond villain LOL

That Jules joke was hilarious 😂😂

1:19 BUSTED ! Like a naughty schoolboy 😂😂😂 Dan throwing Stevie under the bus 😆😆

If he is really getting as much $$$$ as is being reported then who is REALLY. going to turn that down. Other than the last twelve months his legacy is secure. He is one of the best players ever (and I’m not a CR7 fan) If you are talking about giving back to the game, then in Saudi Arabia he theoretically has the chance to move the game forward there and help young players, so good luck to him.

Him scoring goals in MLS rather than saudi would have no impact on his legacy whatsoever he might as well get the bag

It's simple Messi won the world cup now everybody is praising him so Ronaldo decided to cash in because he know he won't play the next world cup at age 41 so I'm sure he sat with his family and team then made this decision which is fair enough

I think the media will be a lot kinder to him over there to be honest. Gets the bag and doesn't have to deal with so much hate.

Frank are you saying you didn't stamp on Harry Kewell ? Because the photos of the incident are pretty damning.

He was done in 2018. Being Serie A topscorer is not that difficult considering Icardi, Lukaku, Immobile, Higuain were in contention and they sucked in other leagues. Also he got too many penalties in his Juve stint.

nice shout for Paul Marnier , missed but not forgotten

I love Extra Time but 26 minutes is kinda nuts for a back end segment. Keep it going!

He was worried about the case probably 🙏🙏🙏

Man in the High Castle is great👍🏼

He might join the MLS when he is 43,I bet he will still be fit and still playing

Zlatan at 41 (UCL ✅️ ) vs CR at 37 (ACL ❎️ )

Words they struggle with. Frank saying sheet 🤣🤣

Does anyone know what's the airport story is?

10:15 stevie😭🤣

I'm googling Steve Nicole Airport story now!

Best cast tbh watched all the way through for once … ha

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE AT ESPN+❤

Frank saying “aye aye” 😂

🤣 gotta love ESPN FC. Even though we all know espn has all the money for big production, this show still feels like a small time local sports show. Chemestry is awesome even with the international correspondents as we saw in the world cup! Keep up the great work guys!

Now I want to hear that Stevie and Paul story.

Happy new year everyone🎉🎉🎉

Ego doesn’t allow Ronaldo to finish his career to the way he wanted it🗣

Tuned out before actual coverage started. Who edited this??

Ronaldo definitely expects to score more goals in Saudi Arabia than in MLS, which sort of helps him to stay ahead of Messi in the international goal tally. Simple!

Mr ''factos'' is not allowed in the U.S, surprised of the amount of people who seem to ignore the miami incident

If he move to serie a with club like roma he can still bags 20 goals a season

No one would had care if he was in his prime & avoid any type of interview showing he was a very passionate & humble guy. Looking back when he talk ooooh boi this move shows he's all about numbers & I'm taking that. Next 10y the only CR I know is from Brazil 🇧🇷 🙌

At least in MLS people actually watch it I don't think anybody watches Saudi teams

Can anyone remember the old clubland tune by pizza man. I wanna sheet on the bed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

As we speak there are reports suggesting that the Board will meet up with Potter tomorrow morning for a potential sacking So I wouldn’t say Conte just yet

With his world cup victory, Lionel Messi has achieved world peace. 🤣

Ronaldo in a interview " you think at 30 money is going to change my mind?". Age 30 didn't change his mind, but 38 surely did. Hypocrite

I think correct move for him was to return to Portugal from Juve instead of going to ManU. Career narrative wise, it would have been great but we all know that he needs more money even when you have enough for multiple lifetime at this point...

You still mispronounced Çalhanoglu (the g is silent) 😅

This ESPN FC circle ⭕️ thumbnail Arc hits different

For me he retired since he went to Al-Nassr, but I hope he does well at his new club.

why would he go to and get arrested?

Great craic

I have zero sympathy for Penaldo, remember when his fans mocked Messi for telling ucl will come back to camp nou. What happened to " I will retire at the top?" Penaldo lied to his fans.

His legacy is already sealed... He is already legendary... He's in his twilight years,,, so why not retire with the biggest golden handshake that's being offered to him???

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣these men are funny

Yes.

Imagine Ronaldo living in Kansas lol. Not a chance.

People shaming Ronaldo for being a sellout don't understand one thing......once Messi won the World Cup, it was impossible for CR7 to surpass that at club level.....the battle was over for him coz you can't match a World Cup trophy at club level, it's not possible!! So, why grind again with a club capable of winning UCL where he's not guaranteed to even start?? So, Ronaldo decided to Rest and go away from all the toxicity.....the fact that he's gonna make all this cash was just an incentive!! He fought all his life and gave us spectacular moments.....now I hope he finds peace! P.S: Even Ronaldo haters will agree that the media/FIFA..... everyone was always biased towards Messi, it's been this way since the beginning....if you think about it, Ronaldo never really had a chance, but the fact that he was still able to keep the conversation going is a testament to his ability!

If he went to the mls he could have gotten the chance to play for an European club again, like Beckham and ibrahimovic.

Well MLS wouldn’t give him $200/year and I was told it wasn’t about the money

Next up: Ronaldo leaves Earth to go to Mars; the media: Should Ronaldo have gone to the Moon? The man left Europe. Stop bringing up his name for clicks.

Poor Manc, he'll get recked in the MLS.😂

The bag is more important than anything els

Frank looks like he's from Starfleet

In the end, when the carrier is over, what a player has achieved in terms of silverware is important for the legacy but what a player achieved financially matters more for the future of his family. That's why I wonder why the media finds a decision to bag 500m in 2.5 years as a inert decision for a man who has already achieved all the key records in football!☹️ I guess the media would rather see him retired and eat sausage than to see him earn an amount which would double his networth!! Which kind of logic is this?

Not really.. in the MLS, they would demand entertainment from him, and this is something unreachable at his age.. is best for him and his family to secure that oil money.

I haven't watched the video because it's too long but I've heard that going to Saudi allows to go to an European club on a lease.

No, MLS pays too little. He turns 38 next month. He could do whatever he likes at this stage of he career.

yes

I do understand why Ronaldo went to SA. It's the only way he can earn money and have the media leave him alone.

People discrediting saudi league when for example alhilal have shown in club World Cup that saudi teams are decent especially in that game vs chelsea. And alhilal are the team that had 9 of the players that beat Argentina not alnasser they had 0 starting that game

14:36 - I just KZfaqd Burley's red card in the world cup...an American commentator '...life as a blonde not treating Burley so well' 🤣

Does CR not have a court case pending in the USA, I Do not think his been in the USA since the allegations??

Where is Ale Moreno

Yes he should have !

ESPN: No European Club should sign Ronaldo also ESPN: Why Ronaldo went to Saudi?

Frank looks like a Star Trek TOS extra. At least his shirt isn't red.

It would have been great entertainment and help our league grow interest. He would have gotten a lot sponsorship deals and overall just a better experience in America.

A league that is considered pathetic, but is able to reward great players at fantastic prices that European leagues cannot afford

People feel sorry for seb over Dan cos he doesn’t give it back the same way Dan does lol, no one can handle Craig the way Dan does

No difference in the end he would have gone for the money, so why not go for the most, people acting like they wouldn’t accept the same offer

i actually like how Craig bullies (in a friendly way) Sebi and the others :D it gives spices to the show , people nowadays are just bunch of snowflakes who are too soft and fragile

I think its a dub 200m for Ronaldo and the team gets a lot of exposure I think its a win win

Yes yes yes Finally he said if he had went to mls he could watch him meaning they don't have a watch on the saudi league meaning no talk of ronaldo as he said it'd feel he had retired Finally eternal peace for ronaldo I can watch him with peace him happy me happy

People has forgotten the fact that there are asian leagues that are at higher level than the MLS. It's just that it is not as covered or popular to western media. The Asian Champions League is only 3rd following the Copa Libertadores and Eu Europa/Champions League. Still way better than the MLS conferences. I would say, if CR got alnasser pass over the Korean and Japanese clubs, we could see him competing in Fifa Club WC against best of the world. Way..waaayy better than MLS, with lesser western coverage of course.

maybe

No. As soon as he sets foot on the USA an American lawyer will present him lawsuit papers

Playing with Happiness is more important than being a Target for the Media and Club in Europe where everyone seem to Trust Glazers 100%.

It's all about the benjamin'$

Avid merrion on Bo selecta to John fashuno focus John focus

As someone who is a Messi fan I have no idea what these old men at ESPN have against Ronaldo. I do not think there’s a debate for him being outside the top 3 of all time and those who don’t put him there put him over sentimental reasons. Ronaldo is footballs legacy he does not deserve this disrespect from these people

Where is C. Ronaldo? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Duran Duran - Come Undone? Comon Nicol...

The obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo is getting out of hand, ESPN has been talking about him since June 2022 till date wow

I think MLS would have been a better option for publicity especially. But the deal was obviously about the money.

Here comes Messi Puppet gang

CR7 has basically retired and ESPN still can't leave him alone

Since it wasn't about the game and only about Money and Fame, I think it was a pretty good business decision.

MLS is too big for him. He would get exposed.

Even if Penaldo wanted to go to MLS I don't think American law and court will allow that 👀

In what world would Ronaldo go to MLS over $400 mil? also why would it not be NY/LA/Miami

I think for RONALDO and his family to take this new move is Excellent idea. First of all he will get some privacy as compared to being in Europe full time. It's an opportunity for him to share and grow. He and his family will learn all about a new culture. On the pitch they will give him a lot of playing time and he will teach on the pitch just by being there. It's for two years but I really believe that this will be one of the happiest times of his life.

The question around 15 mins proves the hypocrisy of these clowns and the agenda against Ronaldo.

Can we talk about football without bring up CR7? Think whatever, he definitely the popular human. Even Messi winning a massive WC trophy media still finds time to talk about the one guy who isn’t even playing in Europe 😂

And look at y’all still talking about the guy after y’all said he wouldn’t be mentioned anymore after leaving EUROPE..

No, why go to a league which has such financial caps and constraints? He'd have been a fool to have gone to the MLS!

After an amazing ,cr7 can do watever he wants

He can score 92 goals over a calendar year in Saudi League so I say it was a genius move. 🤣🤔🤫

He dissed the MLS and went to an even more obscure league.
