Now I want Portugal to win the cup with Ronaldo sitting for the rest of the tournament.
His every touch of the ball brings a tremble to my nethers
I like him a healthy amount and think his career is worth a World Cup win
I like him but sod Argentina winning
He's great, obviously, but I don't care if he succeeds or fails
He's great, obviously, but pundits need to settle down
I'm a racist and that's why I hate him
I'm an idiot and will argue he's actually not all that good
Now I want Portugal to win the cup with Ronaldo sitting for the rest of the tournament.
Why did Tyldesley just refer to him as "this boy", he's 21 ffs.
Clive's about 65.
Zonal marking should have been buried with Rafa Benitez.
Pepe
What a don.
Commentator said Pepe's 10th major tournament with his country. Is that just World Cups and Euros or are they counting something else as well?
Probably adding Olympics to it.
Has to be including something else for sure. There's only been 4 of each since he started playing for Portugal.
Embolo would have about 3 ballon d'ors if he'd opted to enter EPL's brexitball instead of pissing about in Europe (see Drogba). Man has thrown Guerreiro and Dias about like a ragdoll.
That was some pass by Fernandes there.
They could hardly count the nations league, would be some stretch. Unless they just mean the last 4 bit.
Switzerland love to achieve their exact expectations. Nothing more, nothing less.
Switzerland look terrible, but hopefully they can nick a goal and make a game of it.
Portuguese lad there taking a long shot on despite Jimmy having proven that strike impossible.
"Neco Williams? Nico Williams?"
Clive laying it on a bit thick.
He looks like the third Giggs brother, accidentally conceived fifteen years later.
That was a lovely goal.
Lol Switzerland and all, but Portugal are playing some really good stuff here.
No more Ronaldo this World Cup then
Isn't the more likely explanation of the Ronaldo business that, in knock-out football, you'd probably want Ronaldo on at the end of it all if he has to be, and there's no way that will happen if he starts? That and the fact that his absence massively improves their team.
Between chanting for the rapist and the slow clap, I'd quite happily see Portugal fired into the sun.
Shaqiri just sent that one back to Europe.
Ok, forget what I said about us getting to the final if we beat France, this Portugal team is a proper side.
"The Boy" isn't too shabby.
What's the deal with the Swiss defence? Have they ever met before? Or, you know, played football as a defender?
That’s another sexual finish
Morocco and Portugal going through means the streets of Geneva will be set ablaze with car horns for the next 8 hours.
That's a mad reaction to Ronaldo coming on.
Fucking hell, Stone Cold couldn’t even get that pop
I take issue with the idea that most of the 'true legends' of the game have won the world cup, particularly when watching Portugal. Puskas, Di Stefano, Any of that Mardid side, Eusebio, Best, Cruyff, Platini, Roger Miller, David Beckham . . .
Leao is too good to be on the bench.
I'd like to see these chancers try that against Iran.
What is the 'keeper up to there?
So, Portugal v Argentina final, the final boss battle for all football, who's side are you on? Think I'd probably go Ronaldo. Not sure I ever imagined that would be the case.
Ronaldo needed a humbling at some point. His body language and attitude towards his teammates, particularly over the last few years, has been shite.
Team Messi here. Ronaldo is a complete cunt and everything about him is insufferable. However on the other side, the media coverage of Messi is insufferable however the guy himself is much less offensive.
Would Ronaldo be happy if they won the World Cup knowing he had done fuck all in the knockouts?
Could eat him up.
Need a shipping update on @wullie's shirt.
I'm a twit
