Cristiano Ronaldo's career will overshadow that of Wayne Rooney's because of sex appeal and flash?

I think C RON's career will overshadow Rooney's simply because C RON have the much bigger sex appeal, and in today's world of sports marketing sex appeal is huge. There's a reason kaka gets more goggle searches then Ronaldinho despite Ronaldinho's superior skills. Same thing with C.RONALDO he gets more goggle and website searches then Rooney for that reason. Girls are becoming a huge part of football and with Beckham dying down, I think C.Ronaldo, Von Persie and Podolski's marketing days are soaring high, also wen it comes to pure footballing skills Ronaldo was alwasy more flashy then Rooney, but Rooney had been more effective, but this season so far Ronaldo is learning to temper his flash with effectiveness, I still think Rooney will always be the slightly better player, but with Ronaldo's amazing footworks and good looks he will always overshadow Rooney

oh come on, football clubs won't buy footballers because of their looks, but because of their skills. You can't base a football career on the looks of a football player. And skills don't depend on looks either.
What do you mean shrek is well sexy.
I agree, but I think Ronaldo is gay. In all his videos, he does a move and then falls to the ground. All he does is dive, even when there is no one near him. There is a video where he dives and as he is falling, he is staring and yelling at the ref BEFORE he hits the ground. And then the World Cup incident. I hope Rooney breaks his leg in a tackle during their first practice that would be nice.

I agree with you totally, but Ronaldo sucks, Rooney should beat the crap out of him and then step on his nuts
Sex appeal? Sweet lord, the boy is repulsive!

I'm not saying Rooney is a looker either, but it doesn't really matter as they are footballers, not models, and it should be for their skill on pitch that they are judged.
Ronaldo is a little twerp, and by no means sexy. That's not to say Rooney is, but I think I'd prefer to buy a product endorsed by him than the a*se who was responsible for kicking England out of the World Cup.
He is a good player but its mainly the english that give shrek the hype, whereas the portugese will also admire c, r
Cristiano Ronaldo hot??? I admit he has a great body but his face is horrible... Podolski rules!
yea i think rooney will be overshadowed a bit, especially internationally with new people coming into the sport through advertisement and marketing and stuff. but obviously there is still going to be an exceptionally large number of people who will notice rooney and pay attention to what he has to offer on the pitch.

christiano ronaldo, in my opinion, may overshadow his own talent because of the attention he gets. sure, people will always say he is the best player and he is so talented, but some of them don't even know what they are talking about. all they know is that he is hot. obviously he is a very talented player, but some people may never know that.

in all, they are both going to be overshadowed in some ways, but there are still gonig to be a lot of people who are going to pay attention to them because of what they can accomplish on the pitch and stuff.
C. RONALDO HAS THE LATIN HANDSOME LOOKS WHILE ROONEY HAS A BISCUIT UGLY, AGGRESSIVE FACE FROM L'POOL.
THEY R BOTH YONG AND HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO PROVE THEM SELVES..ONLY FUTURE CAN TELL
i am speaking as a wayne rooney fan all the way! but i have to agree with you on that this stupid world today is captured by looks and not by pure unbelievable talent
What a load of rubbish you speak.
I disagree. Sex appeal doesn't guarantee you marketbility and fame. First of all, people hate ronaldo because of what he did to wayne rooney. Second of all, look at arod. Arod has "sex appeal" but he's pretty much hated everywhere. Seatle? Booed. Texas? Jeered. New York? Absolutely hated. He's a great player, maybe one the best ever, but he's hated and mocked as a "pretty boy" and a choker. If you can't deliver the goods and be clutch, not even sex appeal can save you.
who the hell cares. maybe dim wits like u. C. ronaldo is much better than Rooney the pig
YO! RONALDO is hot but he also has skills!

anyways...ur not marketable if u don't have both!!! you need the looks and skills to be HOT STUFF!!! (rooneys got neither)
the only thign that mattters in soccer i your skills not lucks cristiano ronaldo is as skillful player but he needs to being a pansy
Curtis y r u so gay ur the BIGGEST F@G I KNOW
crisitnao ronaldo loooks like a horse! fabregas all d way!
Well dont forget this (CRISTIANO CAN BALL) i believe he is a better player than Rooney, rooneys good dont get me wrong, but Cris is amazing ( AND WHY LIE HE IS BETTER LOOKING)

The Kaka and Ronaldinho thing is true. but the point is WHO CARES? as long as the true people who are in it for the game enjoy it! Thats all that matters.
Real football fans don't care about how the player looks.
And no real football fan rates David Beckham as a football player.

If you're talking about merchandising and product sales, then maybe.
But if you're talking about a footballing career, no.
u dont need good looks to be marketable, look at ronaldinho. in brazil he sells EVERYTHING. Food, cars, banks etc. So saying ronaldo is more marketable than rooney because of his good looks is dumb. how many covers of fifa has ronaldo been on? rooney-2. i live in the us and i never hear about ronaldo but i always hear about rooney. trust me having skill is much more marketable than good looks.
Both are excellent players and will one day be the best in the world in their respective postions.
I don't think Ronaldo is nice at all, I didn't like his dirty tricks either,after watching the world cup I hope he has a hard time at man united, Wayne is too short tempered he needs to control it better
Your title/question says it all!
LOOKS + SKILLS = GREAT SUCCESS (in any field)
Crstiano all the way!!!!!
maybe, but for the girls that are real football fans and dont like a player for "sex appeal" rooney will always be superior.

and i dont think ronaldo's career will be as succesful as beckhams. beckham is much more apealing as a player and a person. ronaldo dived too much, but maybe for people who no nothing about football it wont be a problem.
