Present continuous

and today, Rodrigo and I are going to have a debate.

We are going to talk about, and we're going to debate

and I will leave all the phrases that we use

but first, Rodrigo is one of my good friends

here in Nashville, and he is on the soccer team, too,

so we talk soccer a lot, we play together,

and we often talk about Ronaldo versus Messi.

- I think anybody who enjoys soccer has this conversation.

they're the natural, who's one, who's number two?

- I'm obviously, as we've talked about ofen,

a big Ronaldo fan, and I think Messi's great,

- I wonder, though, oftentimes most people,

I think, think that, and I think it's also

has a lot to do with Ronaldo's personality.

- Which I don't think should be taken into account.

I agree, I think 'cause people perceive Ronaldo

- I think he just doesn't have very much personality.

He's sad or angry, everybody knows it as well.

And I don't know, I guess personally enjoy that.

I wanna feel that energy or that excitement.

what do you do outside of the club matters a lot

because especially when you play at these super clubs,

or who's the greatest of our generation, they're that good,

if you're gonna have them in that conversation,

they really need to raise the level of play around them,

and be able to shine in less than ideal circumstances.

- It's a little challenging because Zidane,

I only watched him a little bit in the '98 World Cup,

which is kind of on the backend of his career,

and so it wasn't like I had a ton of exposure to him.

maybe a better comparison for me is Beckham.

and I would say, yeah, I would raise them above that

because I think they've had a greater influence on the game,

- You can't compare their stats to any other player

'cause it's just head and shoulders above

'cause Ronaldo, when he first came to England,

- And people talked about how he had no end product.

And then, there's an interview with Gary Neville,

and he was a completely different player.

He was an animal, and that's when he started

to just score all the time and provide goals.

- I think that's one of my favorite things about Ronaldo

and why I really think it puts him above Messi is

and adapt his style of play to what's needed

To talk about Ronaldo, he used to be the speed guy,

and now he's become the clinical finisher,

And we've seen him have incredible careers
