Will Ronaldo be taking free kicks for both teams tonight? He never gives them to Bale.


Btw two most expensive players (transfer value) playing against each other, last time this happened in 2006:

Wasn't Neymar bigger transfer? There were some talks it was actually over 120mln euros.

It was so shady that it's probably the most expensive.

this. would love to see him win the Euro

I wouldn't. Surely whoever wind France-Germany is more deserving?

 

[Post Ironic]

Basically

Stop this minus-rep malevolence, you filthy rotten pig-dog.

It is not nice.

maybe. but Ronaldo winning it would be so much better, especially if they keep "winning" like up until now

But anyway... Figo and Zidane compared to nowadays trash? Would rather the past.

It would be disgusting. As disgusting as Ronaldo is.

[zizinho]

It would be hilarious. Imagine the butthurt.

some people wouldnt like it but this would be so awesome. imagine all the butthurt Messi fanboys

 

[Hængebøffer]

It's ridiculous. Ronaldo regularly reached semi finals with a shit team. No way he choked when playing for Portugal.

If I wrote choke, it was wrong. But Messi didn't choke too. All I'm saying is, none of them are at the same level as they are in their club teams.

True, but a big part of that is that football is still a team sport. Ronaldo gets 4-5 chances per game at Real. He gets 1 when playing for Portugal. As he's basically evolved in a pure goalscorer that is going to change everything for him.

Still does the best with what he's given imo.

Best possible outcomes Sunday:

1) Ronaldo scores hat trick in dominant performance for the ages, and leads Portugal to the title. Messi fanbois around the world commit suicide.

2) Ronaldo misses easy tap-in (think Dzeko) to win the Euros and Portugal loses. Ronaldo fanbois around the world commit suicide.

Now if only there were some way to combine these two things...

Portugal loses and Messi retires. I think that's a win-win.

It's definitely more of a team game today. That's way I don't understand all the all time greatest debate - you can't compare (only goalkeepers). And I agree, but Ronaldo isn't much influential here as in Real. But it pretty much sums up the Portugal offensive play:

They hope for individual brilliance.

Wales missed Ramsey and generally didn't play that well. Portugal nothing special, but they're not tactically dumb like Belgium. I'd expect either side from tomorrow to beat them, but maybe they have their name on the trophy, generally being ok and reaching a final has to mean something.
