If he has a good showing and they get past Spain/France to get into the finals he may have done enough to get me to stop saying he is a flop on the international stage.
In the ever popular Ronaldo v Messi debate, I do present these international numbers for you.(goals in brackets)

Ronaldo has played in Euro 2004(2), 2008(1), 2012(3 so far) and WC 2006(1) and 2010(1). He has scored in every single tournament. Including game winners in three games in EURO 2008 vs Czechs, and EURO 2012 vs Holland and Czechs.

Messi has played in WC 2006, 2010 and Copa America 2007 and 2011. He only scored in WC 2006(1) and Copa 2007(2). He didn't score in the other 2 tournaments.


Just saying.....neither has been great but one has been better.
