I don't actually hate Pepe, other than for the fact he was playing for FC Porto and he's Brazilian (which, again, I share with the majority of the population, because everyone hates Porto and Brazilians in the Portugal squad are a mockery). But I do think when he is not going for the shin rather than the ball, Pepe is a useful element. Unlike Mr. 'how-does-my-hair-look'.
Basically, Ronaldo is like Cena for wrestling - he gets shoved down everyone's throats, which leads most people to hate him. I was a MASSIVE Ronaldo fan up until his last season in United. I even have a bloody Portugal national team top with his name on the back which I got after we knocked England out of Euro 2004. That season he scored 100 goals for Man U, I was a huge fan. Then all of a sudden I saw him plateauing (kind of like Nani is doing now). Everyone continued to ride his dick, while it was apparent that he was more concerned with looking good and partying than concentrating on his football (UNLIKE MESSI). Then he joined Madrid and he was basically a pampered asshole. He was Joffrey from Game of Thrones. Aside from the fact that I bloody HATE Real, I wasn't down with that attitude, especially since he continued to not be a patch on the player I saw playing for Sporting at the age of 17 and scoring a brace on his debut. So yeah, ask me five years ago and I would have probably said Ronaldo was tied with Messi as Best in the World. Not anymore, though.
