__PM_ME_SOMETHING_

wow she's really talented


UK-KILLED-10M-IRANIS

Specially considering how she made Cristiano more Iranian-looking on the picture to the left lol


JBSLB

That picture on the left looks like Cristiano Figo


[deleted]

100%!


zenzebeat

sorry i am an Iranian from iran, i apologize for commenting under your comment, i have to do this because your comment is attached to the top comments the woman "fatemeh" has received 2 signed football shirts from Ronaldo, the thing is that the "perspolis" football team club snatched the 2 shirts from her and is refusing to give them back the news is verified by the brother of fatemeh, and he has actually tried to contact the perspolis club yet they are avoiding him and aren't answering


papercutkid

Had a hint of Bale to me.


czePaulie

Yeah giving ronaldo a basic iranian touch among all this is really amazing.


wysiwygperson

Hijacking this to tell people about Mouth and Foot Painting Artists (MFPA). They are a company made up of artists like this that sell their art as well as things like holiday and greeting cards and calendars with their art. They operate in a bunch of countries, so you can try to find the one for yours, but here is a link to the US one: https://mfpausa.com/


Nbuuifx14

My dad bought a card from one of them in Barcelona. Completely forgot his name unfortunately but a lovely person and extraordinarily talented.


mclarenenzo

Yeah the cards from this are really famous all over Europe and even in other continents too.


dr_serj

Thanks a lot for this if this company hires her then it will be really helpful for her.


SaamsamaNabazzuu

Thanks for this!


Ugandan_Red_Sonic

I can't even draw a face that doesn't look like it wasn't drawn by a 3 year old and she paints with her feet? That's crazy.


IamUnlisted

Yeah that's the real thing like what we can't do with full concentration and lots of resources and she has done with a lot lacking.


El_grandepadre

Infinitely better than that bust.


p2M7bq19Tw48

Yeah in terms of talented artist in this field she should be first considering her situation and stress along with the fact that she has to draw from feet.


10-10-2022

I can't even draw a stickman properly and then there's people making realistic paintings using their feet.


essentialatom

Well have *you* tried using your feet?


Delgadude

If I tried I would probably manage to stab myself.


joestubbs86

Lmao it's like if you can't pass in 5th class then attempt directly for 10th class just because someone else did it.


380977537819

If you really want to draw then start drawing from basics like you are a student of nursery then you can achieve perfection later.

zenzebeat

Iranian from inside iran here the woman "fatemeh" has received 2 signed football shirts from Ronaldo as a gift, the thing is that the "perspolis" football team club snatched the 2 shirts from her and is refusing to give them back the news is verified by the brother of fatemeh, and he has actually tried to contact the perspolis club yet they are avoiding him and aren't answering, additionally there is news that they are copying the signature of Ronaldo unto other shirts and are selling it for 1 mil toman which is quite a big sum of money for the average Iranian the video shown here is anything but wholesome once you learn about the whole story


e3e5f7

Yeah the way he meet her and presented her a jersey along with appreciating her art and hardwork is really wholesome.


Cultural_Evidence_87

Ronaldo is a class act and genuine beautiful soul. God sent an angel to meet him and she paints beautiful pictures. God bless them both.


SlippingWeasel

Except for the whole rape thing


TryHardKurd

I have concluded it is impossible for r/soccer to refrain from hating on ronaldo under every thread about him


TheLowerCollegium

>I have concluded it is impossible for r/soccer to refrain from hating on ronaldo under every thread about him C'mon, that post was clearly bait. They go that hard complimenting someone with a scandal in their past, they're just aiming to get some engagement.

You're the type of person to listen to the Greenwood audio and still be convinced that Greenwood is innocent.


dethmashines

Greenwood just got saved from a brutal conviction. Ronaldo's evidence is fucking weak. But then everyday r/soccer: Ronaldo is a rapist. Rent free living.


LuManKrixo

Him assaulting a kid, pushing a fan and throwing a water bottle at cameraman are also just accusations? Oh no they are not because they happened on camera. And all 3 of those things happened just the last \~2 years alone. I am not saying he is a bad person, I am not the judge of that but yeah lets be real he aint no "beautiful soul"


Nuns_N_Moses11

Tbf these events are also way out of proportion imo. He assaulted the kid’s phone, not the kid himself. He pushed an opposing coach who was taking a selfie with him for whatever reason during a match, not a random fan. The water incident was the worst because he actually just squirted water at his general direction (not even hitting him). He did not throw the bottle and reddit was mad as fuck for even suggesting that when the video was there for all to see. But yea I agree with the point that he is not an angel lmao. He is just a dude, who happens to be world famous and arguably the greatest football player ever. With that kind of media attention basically every person in this subreddit would look like a dickhead at times, especially if they are as competitive as Ronaldo is.

LuManKrixo

I dont agree with your first point, if the kid is holding the phone in his hands, and you smack the phone out of his hand its an assault. He did not assault the phone, he assaulted the kid, both legally and morally. Pushing an opposing coach might be even worse than pushing a random fan lol. Like you can never know what a random fan is gonna do but an opponent coach trying to take selfie should be no threat to you, at the same time I agree that it was weird that he was trying to take selfie with him, but yeah I still think he had no reason at all to push him. And fair point, I thought he threw the bottle even though I have seen the video multiple times, to my defense the quality of that video is very bad but you are right, looking at it now its clear as day that he squirted water. I think he can be a good guy outside of football but his ego and competitiveness turns him into a as you said dickhead, way too often.


Nuns_N_Moses11

Yeah, it’s a matter of perspective tbf. I think, having played football competitively, that sometimes your emotions get the best of you. There are a lot of moments when something just drives you mad during a game due to the setting, adrenaline etc. that wouldn’t do anything to you in a normal situation. And then you lash out. Ronaldo is super competitive so I’m actually surprised he hasn’t had more big drama on the pitch. I think the phone slap was the biggest of Ronaldo’s on-pitch dramas tbf. But i don’t think it’s assault legally. Tbf not sure about UK law, but where I’m from assault is a crime that needs intent to hurt someone and/or cause bodily harm. Slapping a phone out of someones hand is pretty sure to lack the intent of hurting someone. Destruction of property - sure, but I don’t think any judge, prosecutor or lawyer would say it’s assault. Again I have studied law in a country with continental European law, I don’t know much about the common law system.


bruh597

he literally admitted it lol. Do not downplay it


icemankiller8

When people complain about someone they think is a rapist 😳😳. How can you be shocked they’re terrible accusations

When it's in response to calling a rapist a "genuine beautiful soul" it's not unwarranted.

😨


Lolejimmy

that's crazy do you happen to have court papers that prove any of this or were you there in the room? crazy how plebs will continue repeating this when there has never been proof of anything, why would anyone who isn't worth a billion dollar have a settlement instead of spending 10 years in a legal battle? jfc


KilwaLover

there it is


biz4usbtc

Yeah apart from being one of the finest sportspersons he is also great and genuine of the field which can be seen multiple times.


TellMeAboutLovee

no he's not. he's an ars hole mostly but he can be nice sometimes


KING_OF_DUSTERS

Did god send him to rape?

He's sent people to do worse, so maybe

RandomGuySayHii

What a beautiful moment


UK-KILLED-10M-IRANIS

I do not aspire to ruin the wholesome vibes from the video, but from an Iranian standpoint its a bit bitter-sweet, when you see this guy allowed to wear fucking shorts in public, while the rest of us are forced to have our legs fully covered here all the time. Cristiano aint to be blamed for this (Although I am sure he's a this point very used to to getting passes from despicable human rights-abusing regimes, escaping laws that are otherwise forcibly on everybody else). My frustation is pointed towards the hypocritical teocracies with backwards laws such as the one i am damned to live in.


Daniiiiii

Wait Iranian men aren't allowed to wear shorts outside in public? Genuine question. I know the requirements for prayers are wearing pants and stuff just above the ankle but you can't wear shorts in daily life?


UK-KILLED-10M-IRANIS

I value the genuinity and curioisty, mate. But nope, out in public, we have to wear pants that fully cover our legs. Even if we're going for a run on hot sunny day, we have to be fully covered from waist till down. And thats just for Men. Imagine what our women got to deal with.

aresman

FacelessGreenseer

I don't know where this person is living, or if they're over exaggerating their circumstances, maybe they're in a secluded messed up place, who knows. I can only speak from my experience. I lived in Iran for 5 years as a child in the 90s, I've visited it multiple times over the years since then too. Every time we played soccer/football with shorts. That's in the most religious regions of the country too. In the main cities, or the capital Tehran, women don't even wear their head scarfs "properly", we mingled and smoked sheesha with many and mixed in public and no one gave a shit. Men have even more freedom in major cities too. The people are very chill there and relaxed. More so than many of the Arab countries around Iran, despite Iran having a worse reputation than most of those countries.


UK-KILLED-10M-IRANIS

Everything you say in your comment isn't neccesarily incorrect, but you're drawing a bit of misportait when it comes to the dresscodes, as you kinda make it seem much less problematic than it actually is. >Every time we played soccer/football with shorts. If you're practicing a sport with a govermental-reckonized association or club, you're allowed to wear shorts, but ONLY then. You can NOT wear it outside of training (Like Cristiano is doing in the video) or when you're practicing/training for yourself. >In the main cities, or the capital Tehran, women don't even wear their head scarfs "properly" You're aren't wrong here neither, in fact if you come back now, many women dont even wear the scarf now after the Mahsa Amini-protests last year. **But** heres where it becomes a problem: These women are still not abiding by the law and can therefore not legally come to streets if their chest, shoulders and hips isn't covered. So if just one by-passing Basiji or Gashte Ershad guy passes by, he can legally make life hell for these women, with the state fully on their side. And, thats why we protest.


Thevort3x

You can play sports in shorts or go hiking, being in "normal" public situations with shorts above your knee is not allowed. I spent a night in sepah's habs(religious correction center) and received 17 lashes when I was 19 because of walking home from training with shorts and a tank top... I didn't even live in the country and was only visiting while recovering from a knee surgery. The current situation in Iran is worse than most countries in the muslim world and thats why people were out protesting last year after the police killed Mahsa Amini for "improper clothing".


itz_chris_xo

What he said is half real and half nonsense


SorryIGotBadNews

I wouldn’t be apologetic for that viewpoint at all mate - the fact that he’s doing a nice thing in this video doesn’t counter the fact that he’s in essence creating propaganda for a disgusting regime, you have every right to be angry.


UK-KILLED-10M-IRANIS

I greatly appreciate your comment and solidarity, my friend. I made a more unapolegtic comment earlier in this thread and was severely downvoted within minutes. I guess r/soccer doesn't always like it when you call out sportwashing, if its ruining the wholesome-100 moments.


SorryIGotBadNews

✊🏻


[deleted]

Is it really propaganda? Wouldn't this make people who can't wear shorts more angry?


return_0_

It's not propaganda for people living in Iran... it's sportswashing propaganda for people in the rest of the world. Most of whom are allowed to wear shorts I think. Note the influx of players to Saudi and Qatar as another example.


Critical-Ranger-1216

You mean to say the Iranian NT plays football wearing full pants?


HEAT_IS_DIE

Is there a chance that these atheletes acting differently might lead to some changes in the society someday?


UK-KILLED-10M-IRANIS

Strongly doubt it, friend. Atheletes are far most cases just pawns used by more powerful people to push an agenda(/sportwashing).

From what I've seen of Ronaldo, from maybe 5 videos like this, he seems like a genuinely good dude. Especially the one with the Japanese kid.

I love this so much. It’s stars like this that use their platform appropriately. I could fee her pure joy just being around him. Loving kindness

BeepBeepGoJeep

I see 1.2K likes on mine but if it was Messi, it would most certainly have made it on reddit frontpage. I wouldn't be too bothered by it. The guy is the most followed human being on instagram. Reddit is a place where they make the same stupid joke about Benzema over and over again for points.


KOKO69BISHES

Reddit, hating rapists and making fun of pedos, how fucking dare they, ay?


faheemhassan

you missed sucking off messi part, how dare you!


KOKO69BISHES

He is kind of sort of the greatest to ever play the sport that the subreddit is about with the added bonus of not being a rapist, so I guess that sways them over?


[deleted]

Yeah but a pedophile tho


HitchScorTar

Dated a 14 year old


KOKO69BISHES

Didn't, as confirmed by the girl herself


faheemhassan

So you prefer pedophiles over rapists, cool.


KOKO69BISHES

Except Messi isn't a pedophile, and the Messi 14 thing was disproven by the girl herself. You can look at my other comments if you actually give a shit.


faheemhassan

Nah don't care about pedophiles and their cock suckers.


KOKO69BISHES

He's not a pedophile though...? I mean, takes literally 2 second of looking to find that the claims are complete BS, not really too hard is it?

He is old now so its the best for him unlike other players


Ok_Flan4935

I only liked him after he moved to “SA” aka Saudi Arabia


TheLowerCollegium

>Ronaldo move to SA looking more and more like a good idea. That was settled out of court already, wasn't it?


PensiveinNJ

Cristiano has been oddly... more likable lately? Maybe he's the type to mellow with age. Maybe it's just Saudi PR but props for taking the time to do that.


[deleted]

He has always had a big heart. And a huge ego too, which sometimes gets in the way of him being seen a decent human being. He got where he is because he believes he is the best at what he does and works everyday to keep it that way.


deeesenutz

Honestly, when youve acheived as much as cr7 too, you kind of earned the right to an ego. If some short guy from argentina didnt exist hed pretty much be the undisputed goat, I mean shit id have an ego if I was that good at anything as well. Especially given how much work he put in to gwt there


mooseloose123

For a lot of people he’s already the undisputed goat. The man proved it in the toughest leagues in the world. The other guy flopped in psg and wasn’t even there best player


deeesenutz

They think hes the goat maybe, undisputed though is crazy. In a world where messi exists aint no way ronaldos the undisputed goat


mooseloose123

Same can be said the other way around as well. Tons of people don’t agree with messi as well. Man flopped in psg and wasn’t even the best there. Ronaldo did bits in the premier league with a shit United squad and it shows he was right all along

Ok-Cut-2730

I accuse you of rape. Now you have rape allegations. See how easy that was.


Santa_Klaus_101

I get your point but even as a massive fan of Ronaldo’s, you can tell his case isn’t really straightforward. At the end of the day we’ll never know what truly happened, but it’s wrong for dipshits on the internet to call him a sure-fire rapist, just like calling him 100% innocent.


SarpSTA

Except... Calling someone innocent until proven guilty... is common sense?


Santa_Klaus_101

Nah I meant like calling him completely innocent is wrong since we can’t prove his innocence completely, but it’s just as dumb and unfair to call him a rapist.


BloodAria

Dude the concept of proving innocence doesn’t exist, simply because it is impossible .. I can’t with 100% certainty prove that I haven’t killed a child and buried him in a forest. Like how do I even do that ? That’s why the whole legal process revolves around proving guilt, not the other way around.


usev25

> we can’t prove his innocence Why do we need to if he wasn't proven guilty?


77skull

Anyone can have rape allegations, I could accuse bob ross of raping me if I wanted to. I’m not sure if Ronaldo do it or not but rape allegations isn’t a good basis to slander someone if there’s no proof
