Euro 2024: The Knockouts

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

His ego is bigger than the stadium.

[CJay]

Yeah, there's certainly no way he's going to bow out before a thousand goals and he'll never retire from Portugal voluntarily.

Wasn’t all the talk pre-tournament of how Martinez had shown that he was able to drop him and they were no longer dependent or obsessed with him? But it’s clear he absolutely is still the main man and they are forced into playing against their strengths to play to his fading strength (headers).

I can’t think of any other top player who was so clearly obsessed with their own personal success, even into old age.

His free kicks are just daft.

[Pleb]

This is pure TV gold.

Sums it up well.

[Bernanke]

You have to feel that Portugal would just be better by sticking Jota up top instead of him at this point. He actively harms the team.

It feels like a make a wish thing.

[Pleb]

Ronny wanted that.

[7om]

I wonder what would happen if someone stepped in and tried to take a free kick off Ronaldo.

[niko_cee]

Pepe looks like Voldemort.

The footballer that is, not our one.

[Magic]

Isn't he notoriously shit at free kicks?

[Manc]

I've always imagined Pepe (our Pepe) to look like Steven from Nacho Libre.

[SincereTheRebel]

I know this pitch is awful but those studs on the players boots like stupid long. You can see them clearly during close ups

Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite for me.

Ronaldo throwing his hands up at the temerity of the goalkeeper to make a save.

[Spoonsky]

Based on their footballers the Portuguese must be the most petulant people in Europe and maybe earth. Not just Ronaldo, all of them (I want to exclude dear Diogo but is that just biased?). Can't think of another country that comes close. Except maybe England lol.

You know what it is. It's their way of looking victimized every time they miss a chance / do something wrong.

edit: hi niko \o

[Bernanke]

What's the point of linesmen at this point

[7om]

I actually think Ronaldo would be happier if he scored a hat trick and Portugal lose 4-3 than if they won 1-0 and he didn’t score.

Ronaloldo

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Why are so many teams trying to make England look good?

[CJay]

Getting Maradona US ‘94 vibes from Ronaldo tonight.

[Shindig]

I hope that means he's minutes away from the piss that kills him.

[niko_cee]

Is he going to do the full 120? I hope he does and then misses a penalty.

[Lewis]

Have small teams suddenly become good at defending, or is it just the bigger teams being slow and clunky trying to play possession-based club football shit? Spain have been the most direct and it shows.

[Luke Emia]

What he’s been on the sniff?

A bit of both, but mostly the latter I'd say.

Bigger teams being slow and clunky.

Spain are the only ones doing the opposite, which is weird as they're usually the only to play the possession based nonsense.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Please let Slovenia win on penalties with Ronaldo missing.

More chance of him banging in a free kick but Martinez subbing him off just before the shoot-out would be even funnier.

[Pepe]

Spain are the only ones doing the opposite, which is weird as they're usually the only to play the possession based nonsense.

They play actually skilled players though.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck off is that a penalty.

[Adramelch]

I hope it is as long as Ronaldo misses it.

Doesn't look like it is, but I don't think VAR is overturning it.

[niko_cee]

Shocking decision. Good job we have the absolute certainty of VAR though.

[Baz]

Not a chance he’s missing.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[-james-]

ahahahahahahaha

[Boydy]

Ahahahahahahahaha

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Jan Oblak deserves a knighthood.

[7om]

Holy shit!

[Spoonsky]

Incredible save tbf

[Dark Soldier]

So so beautiful

[Yevrah]

If Oblak saves again from him in again in the penalty shoot out I'm going to explode in a ball of cum.

[Pepe]

[Spoonsky]

Is he fucking crying?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Tears already flowing

[SvN]

Tears

[Baz]

Crybaby giraffe.
