Ronaldo's post-match interview is the best he's ever given. Honest, humble and straight to the point.

NED 0 - 10 CHI
Can't sleep....
Sounds to me like you're already dreaming? Match is going to be pretty even. Even if it's not going to be even in score, in skill and display it probably will. I expect a good match.
I bet he will be the leftforward in a 433 tactic instead.
Damn straight, regardless if Spain are shit this Cup, if we managed to overcome the previous World Cup champs with our young side, we'll be over the fucking moon! We won't be sitting on our asses waiting for the plane trip home... it will be all or nothing.
No Cahill though.
This will be our problem though, we don't really look like scoring without him. See the Leckie/Oar combo from the Netherlands game. Hopefully though this will allow our guys to stand up for themselves, as Cahill won't be around too much longer, possibly the 2015 Asian Cup might be his last major tournament.
No matter how it pans out, we've given each team (so far) a real good run for their money and we are proud of our team... if only we got a touch luckier with the group draw.
Because he's terrible? I don't know why he was even selected. I was baffled when I read that he was going to play today.

USA Germany - 0-5. I think Germany is going to wreck USA really really hard unfortunately. I'm rooting for USA. I really became a fan of Howard after the match against Portugal. He looks like Common, haha.
But I don't want the US to lose. If they win this, it would mean more popularity for American Soccer. And less European domination in international soccer would be great.

For this to happen, we have to deliver an even worse performance than against Croatia in 1998.

Not impossible, Schweini is basically a better looking Jens Jeremies.
And "better" is disappointed to be used in this context.

Quite the rollercoaster of emotions.
Our "swabian" hunchback from Madrid certainly didnt help either. I said it to the other guy here already but the Bayern midfield with Kroos, Schweinsteiger and Lahm will get us very far in this cup. I would have loved to have Gündogan there, but that is out of the question, so Schweinsteiger is our man to go.

I know, i just don't want Chile to play against Brazil. i'm sure FIFA would not eliminate the world cup host in round of 16.
Yes, but we dont need to complain. We still have a brilliant squad with a moron of a coach but that is another topic. Müller, Götze, Klose and Özil should be good enough.

saw this during the game, felt violated.
You guys should be enemies of the state after that. The guy in the front almost looked like he was about to throw down his flag lol.

What a great attitude to have for a captain going into the tournament as one of the big teams lol, no wonder he and the rest of the team choked.

Yeah, terrible from him having given his all during the season for his team and sustained injuries, instead of flopping around all season and saving himself for the World Cup.
Damn, should've walked around all season CR7. You dun goofed.

Reus, as phenomenal as he is, is the most easily replaced in our squad. They aren't as good, but we have many other options in his position. Gündogan would have been phenomenal to have.
I just hope in our next game we don't have to substitute a defender due to injury again which robs us of the vital third substitution. A fresh Poldi, Schürrle, even Draxler would have been excellent to have for the last twenty mins.
What a stupid statement.
We had an american coach. He wasn't very good.

When will you change? lol
Keep pretending you are happy he flopped and is about to pack his bags in the most important tournament in sport.

Why would I be pretending? I don't give two fucks about Portugal. Everyone knows Portugal never stood a chance, especially with a less than fit Ronaldo.
My only interest is that Ronaldo is kept injury-free so he can continue pounding your joke club a new asshole for what will probably be another trophy-less season for Lolcelona.
He's winning the third Balon d'Or anyway, suck it down, bae.
True. We have excellent players in attack. Scoring goals is not our problem. The defence is, but its not only the last line of four. It begins in DM already and Lahm seriously needs to step up.

Unless you are trolling with this post... Half the coaches in the WC are not from the nationality of the country they are coaching for.
Also WTF is up with some of you children up in here? I don't frequent Football GAF outside of the WC but seriously some of you guys need to grow up and have an attitude adjustment;
Why so much hate towards athletes and countries? It's just a game.... Be nice to each other mmmmmkkkay?
Agreed. Our defence will only hold if we control the midfield. Lahm had an awful game, just as Khedira did. I am hoping Schweinsteiger for Khedira will allow Lahm to improve again as well. Lahm seems to have the most trouble with the heat.
Those three (Kroos included) should also allow us to kill a game at any moment and simply pass the ball around till we recharge. Especially if Götze, Müller, and Özil drop back to help as well.
Finally someone has given me a possible explanation.

Its a shame, the knees have ended a lot of great players career wayyy too early. I guess the human body can only take so much
He runs, fights, wins tackles and is a smart guy, that's what managers like. But what he lacks is simply what Kroos or Schweinsteiger have: make the game.

Wouldn't really make a huge difference anyway imo, since Portugal are simply not good enough. Either way, he has done little for Portugal in World Cups, doubt he would do much better as a slower 34 year old.
Portugal need better players and better performers all over though. Especially from the forwards. Probably a new coach too, should hire Tata. Moon.png

Ive read today that Kroos will be coming to Madrid if we find a way to unload Khedira.
