    Now I want Portugal to win the cup with Ronaldo sitting for the rest of the tournament.

    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?

    I wondered the same. I reckon it includes the Nation's League and Confederations Cup.

    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.

    They could hardly count the nations league, would be some stretch. Unless they just mean the last 4 bit.

    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.

    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 . . .

    Did Yevrah win it on the TTH FM23 save? That's the real test.

    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.

    I've seen a couple of clips that led me to believe otherwise when it comes to the national team. For club football it has been like that for like almost a decade though.

    He'll be on the touchline directing traffic in the same way as the Euros, he won't give a fuck. It'll still be him lifting the trophy [I would guess].

    My mother knows a woman who runs a dog rescue centre, and - this is genuinely what this woman claims - apparently it's an open secret in the dog welfare world that Messi once had his dogs taken off him for pouring boiling water on them. Something to consider.
