Whatever it was, for this man to perform like he did in the 2002 WC after that experience is just insane. Without his knee injury he would have been the greatest player ever.
the fact that he can still be considered the goat 🐐 after so many crucial injuries is alone one of the reason he’s one of the all time greats; to me, no one was better than him before the injuries, I think there has never been a player so fast, technically gifted and deadly at the same time. But I still give #1 to Pelé, what he’s accomplished is absolutely out of this world and probably no one else will ever match it, and I’d tie Ronaldo and Romário at second place in the goat argument 😊
i have always thought the fact that Ronaldo had a seizure and didn't want to miss the final was a good enough explanation. And after something like that happening to a player i can totally understand why the rest of the team (especially those who saw it) were just in shock and not in the right condition to play to their best in the final. and against that France team, anything less than at your best was doomed to lose. i'm very glad that Ronaldo was able to complete what is in my opinion one of the greatest comeback stories of all time after this and the his knee exploding once he got to Inter.
@@parisp2583 oh yeah no i know they were awful in that, just meant in the 98 WC they were pretty resilient. only conceded 2 goals in the whole tournament
Are you daft?? Do you think professional grown up footballers are going to be so shook up by hearing that a friend had a seizure😂😂 you must be the most sensitive person in the world! Do you wear a nappy? Why would they be not be able to play football if someone had a fit?? People have seizures ten times a day! A grown up man will not let that affect them! They would say play or don't play! They wouldn't care!
Growing up, I always heard from people that what happened to us in the 1998 was either: 1- the bribe stuff, or 2- that Ronaldo found out that his then girlfriend was cheating on him with a famous journalist from Brasil, and that combined with specific medication he was (supposedly) taking + stress made him have a convulsion whatever it was, I guess most people today do believe that all that happened was Ronaldo had an unfortunate seizure and it is what it is; we don’t see a reason so many people would lie about that for so long, which might not even be possible considering many outspoken players such as Edmundo talked about this several times on the media.
Nope Ronaldo was poisoned! that’s Despite the loss of Brazil. I salute the man R9 Ronaldo for fighting it out there. I say no one, literally no one can barely walk straight after a same day seizure, I am a patient of recurring seizures and I know it. He was still running there. No one can do that after suffering fit on the same day
Considering you mentioned lunch while explaining the story, I wouldn't have been surprised if you said France pulled an Arsene Wenger on Ronaldo. He was their best player by far and would've won Brazil the world cup if he was fit, so it's likely that someone put something in his food to make him sick.
in 1998 the Brazilian players said the team was in shock with what happen to R9, so besides the incident, France had Zidane that was inspired that day playing against a broken spirited Brazil. What ever happened to Ronaldo did the trick
@@ha04Rry I know thats because I tried to make a joke in time so my comment would be pinned and many people would see but I needed to have creativity because I don't want to be one of those guys who only posts good video or I was the first because I already love this videos and I support him since 2020 and some of my comments were the ones with most likes in other videos so yeah but I know thats a bit stupid, but what I tried to say was that his career was ended by his injuries so fast but still slower than me
@@aguyjr I changed it like 5 times now but like poor maguire one bad season and a 80 million pound transfer and he is already the greatest joke in football history.
In those days 15million was a lot of money especially to players who were not making r9 money I think they took the 15million and Ronaldo did get sick and decided he wasn’t going to be apart of it so got poisoned somehow with something that gave him a seizure for not wanting to be a part of the fix and then there is also Nike
Do a video what if the 2002 world cup wasn't rigged - italy vs spain quarter final, winner vs. germany semifinal, winner vs. brazil in the final. both the italian and spanish teams were better than the german one, so a different final would have taken place
I remember it clearly he was on fire all tournament and in the final he was like an impostor on the pitch. I can believe Nike pushed him onto the pitch.
honestly moving a bit away from fifa content seems to have been the better move. your content recently has been amazing.

he is anyways

you think that france team was that good? look at the 1997 tournoi de france

If you guys want more football informational style videos let me know which video you want me to do next!
Yeas
could you do a video about the mesut ozil exile from the arsenal squad
Idk if it's just me but the content is actually sth good and different and rn you and maqwell provide the best straight up football content.
Rise And Fall of Ronaldo Nazario

@@MissMaya308 how do you know he was poisoned?
He's the most unique player I've seen in his prime. The most dominant force I've seen while being double and triple teamed.
Considering you mentioned lunch while explaining the story, I wouldn't have been surprised if you said France pulled an Arsene Wenger on Ronaldo. He was their best player by far and would've won Brazil the world cup if he was fit, so it's likely that someone put something in his food to make him sick.
I was 14 when this world cup came along, one of the best world cups I remember, when your that age aswell it has alot nostalgia.

I clicked faster than Maguire conceding an own goal.
That doesn’t even make sense

So creative, never heard that
Prime Ronaldo at Inter and Brazil in 1998 was unstoppable. Shame this had to happen. I personally do think Nike had some effect on this.
2nd one makes sense - maybe why italy and spain were robbed, portugal grouped by korea, and easy path for brazil
vizeh - always comes up with the goods
Make a video about the 2002 South Korea conspiracy or the World cup 2014 mistakes
mistakes?
Mexico and the Netherlands
@@blibra7398 Bosnia Nigeria
Mexico vs Netherlands
Brazil vs Croatia
There are many more
Vizeh, you should do a podcast series about football, and history of leagues, players etc
In those days 15million was a lot of money especially to players who were not making r9 money
I think they took the 15million and Ronaldo did get sick and decided he wasn’t going to be apart of it so got poisoned somehow with something that gave him a seizure for not wanting to be a part of the fix and then there is also Nike
If you didn’t can you do a conspiracy about the 2002 wc
2nd one sounds interesting
Well made video🔥

@@acidrazor66 What the absolute hell are you talking about?
We will never know the truth, but given what you have shared I think that if you add elements of each together you are closer to the truth!
I remember it clearly he was on fire all tournament and in the final he was like an impostor on the pitch. I can believe Nike pushed him onto the pitch.
He was poisoned.
Most likely the painkiller caused an allergic reaction and thus the convulsions occured
anyone know the music used in minute 2?
Was he food poisoned?…..
Yeah definitely a final that was anti climatic.
The brasil players don't want to take away from France's victory though.
France had Zidane, even if Ronaldo was fit they didn't stand a chance
98 rigged, go to sleep
I have a feeling Ronaldo had seizure
Nice kit
