VillaChris Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Foreign players are just technically better at penatlies, always seem to bend it right in the corner while English players hit it more centrally and flatter at the keeper....or 50 yards over the bar.

Ronaldo always steps up 4th or 5th...because he wants to be the man. The cock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City either so think he's declining in the bigger games now and wouldn't expect a great euro 2016 from him. He's been poor in pretty much every international tournament so I don't expect him to buck that trend at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has more mitigating factors than Rooney, Portugal have to play him straight upfront as they really do have nobody else to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 silver lining with bale, 2 CL titles, think he'll probably get the same league title criticism as ronaldo but at least it should stop our rags from trying to suggest he's a failure who should sign for utd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching him stand there in that stupid wide legged stance had me praying that both of his hamstrings would simultaneously explode.

Takes some serious balls, most players don't want to. He's the best, he damn well knows it, and he's not hiding from the pressure, fair play to him IMO.

sharkyvilla Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I thought Ronaldo actually did a job for the team tonight, he didn't get pissed off because he wasn't the man, a bit like Messi does for Barca from time to time (sorry for bringing up the comparison but hey-ho). But Oblak, wtf? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 I'm always surprised by how much of a difference the extra half an hour makes. Half of the players out there looked like me after 3 minutes in the gym. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Poor Athletico. They are never going to win it are they? The betters side for most of it but should have gone all out for the winner in normal time. 3 finals, 3 defeats-sounds depressingly familiar.

rodders0223 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 What was the tournament where Portugal missed every or majority of penalties and went out? Ronaldo never took one. I always feel you put your best penalty takers first. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 and one for the things that piss me off thread - players who wear their shirts backwards when they win things... i know who you are marcelo...the bloke who did it for hull earlier, i couldnt give a **** who you are!

Probably just bad wording on my part. Anyway I don't want this thread to become a comparison between the two. Well done Real, how these players are supposed to pick themselves up for the Euros **** knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
