this is a phenomenon known to all FIFA 18 players of the world. When playing online on any format (PS4, Xbox, PC), the team playing against Real Madrid seems to have nothing go in their favor. Specifically whenever Ronaldo is near the ball or when he has it. Being the highest rated player in the game, his effect seems to trigger some scripted FIFA 18 response in the opposing team's goalkeeper to have delayed reaction times. This scripting can also be seen when successful tackles render themselves to actually be unsuccessful as Ronaldo receives a deflection that goes perfectly into his path towards goal. Ronaldo also will win nearly every header that he is contesting due to this effect.
The effect itself has many negative health consequences especially for those who are experiencing it on the receiving end. Symptoms include excessive tilting, rage quitting, and sometimes, damage to the console, ones own body, or innocent by-standers around them. According to a recent study, prolonged exposure to the Ronaldo effect actually can lead to a series of mental illnesses. Among these illnesses are CR7 Fanboy disease, Excessive diving syndrome, and Madrid Online Autoselection disorder. Please see a doctor if you see experience the Ronaldo effect in extended periods of time.

The term for when a guy gets a girlfriend and immediately becomes desired by other girls. It is a sociological phenomenon involving social status, showing that the man is okay to be desired. He has been approved by a sociological microcosm as a man who would make a good mate. It also involves competition, the guy is almost a prize now, something that can be won in a competition.

The Urinal Effect is based upon an individual's inability to properly maintain control of their stream at a urinal. The Effect compounds upon itself as proceeding individuals are forced further away from the urinal as the lake of urine continues to grow beneath their feet. The theoretical size of the resulting lake is infinite, until properly sanitized by a janitor.
