How is playing for his club in Mexico a far better reflection of his ability than playing in the World Cup?
Because it will be based on a lot more than just three games, it's not that we'll be ignoring the World Cup but we shouldn't be judging players purely based on three games at a World Cup.
I don't think that's the best example. Ronaldo has just won the EC, playing for Real Madrid. We have a small idea of his true ability at the top level.

Because he's playing in a system that he's more familiar with and alongside players the he trains with every day. Not to mention you have 30+ games to look at for his club compared to a handful of games for his country.
I have a feeling you're just being facetious as your first post stated that we should be wary of "duds" who play well in the World Cup.

He's a very good example of us looking at their league form rather than 3 cup games for a poor national team.

All well and good chap, but we're talking about the Mexican league, 30 games there is hardly the rock of reputation that you're alluding to, which is my point.
Mexico only played 4 games mun, you have to look at them for 30 games for their club.
How many games did England play again?
And by play, I mean turn up and be effective behind the ball.
A team is more than an individual player.
And we're Swaaaaanseeeea Ciiiityyyy! Swaaaansseeeaaa Ciiiityyy F C!
We're not necessarily the greatest team in football, the world has ever seen (but we're possibly the most honest and resilient).

Looking at his stats they are pretty poor. I feel, like many others, I have a biased opinion of him due to one spectacular game years ago. I'd like to think we could do better.
