@guardian_footballweekly: ‘Maybe 41-year-olds shouldn’t be playing internationals’ Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo are two 41-year-olds who have been representing Croatia and Portugal for over 20 years, but at what point should they be politely moved on and who should be the person making that decision, the player or the manager? Football Weekly look at the stark difference in attitude between the two stalwarts. #cristianoronaldo #cr7 #modric #footballtiktok #soccertiktok

Aaron :

Modric knows, and has always known, he's part of a team. Ronaldo thinks he is the team.

tsa7777777 :

Modric is playing for AC Milan and Croatia, if there was a better player they would move Modric on. Ronaldo is forcing Portugal to play him, has been passed it for years now at international level

1635715e82y28 :

Modric gets a free pass as well because relative to the rest of the squad he's still decent, Portugal is at a higher level and is actively hurt by having Ronaldo in the squad

UselessLuke :

Is Modric sulking if he doesn’t play?

OYIN :

older men trashing an old man while uplifting another old man and in same vein dont care what happens to another older man. Ridiculous.

Philip 🇬🇧 :

Cape Verde has a 40 years old goalkeeper, who managed to keep a clean sheet Vs Spain.

jiraiyaerosennin8 :

Modric has an excuse because Croatia don’t have top talents coming up — but Portugal do have talent coming through and Ronaldo is blocking them

Sr. Oliveira :

Gonçalo ramos is not a psg player anymore, they let him go

Ahmed :

Modric is also a mentor if he doesn’t play he is coaching.

smegmaboy123 :

At the World Cup it was a massive difference when you looked at Ronaldo vs modric, Ronaldo looked like he could barely even run while modric looked decent but not amazing… for Croatia the issue is their whole team is a lot worse than it was 5 years ago while Portugal has incredible talent…

Daniel The Scotsman :

Modric doesn’t have the pressure of stats to uphold like Ronaldo . Ronaldo has one or two games without a goal and he gets hounded.

GaryXean :

Can I just say- I'm 41 and shouldn't be playing international football. Or domestic. Or Sunday league. I just shouldn't be playing football, honestly.

rajivkanani :

They should been benched to bring on the last 15 to 20 minutes.

Kabelo :

bro doesn't even watch Croatia matches. how does he know Modric is doing well??😂😂

Doctor So :

they are just envious of Ronaldo

Khalid :

They don’t even know what they talking about they think Ramos plays for PSG , they think Modric playing good , I have no words

THE SENATOR 👾 :

Ronaldo gone n they move to Modric

randomsh1t1471 :

Modeic helps the team

alantiktok25 :

If you think the Modric situation and Ronaldo situation are the same thing, the you need a career very far away from football punditry.
