Irina Shayk is laughing somewhere in her swimsuit after Ronaldo's terrible performances.

 

[Dunkley]

I think this will give a lot of confidence to us, even if we didn't score a goal.

I expected this to be a bloodbath but I admit I am really proud of my team.

And by that I mean Almer. What a fucking man.

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

Indeed ^

Almer 1: Portugal 0

Indeed^

German Reporter: "What were you thinking when Christiano Ronaldo went to the Penalty position?"

Alaba: "Fuck. I thought fuck."

lol

 

[Celine]

Yes, he makes mistakes sometimes in intense situations, like all strikers. You know what's not common among all strikers? Scoring a bazillion goals.

What intense situation? The chance he had in first half was clean and missed it because he went with the right foot instead of the left foot.
It's a basic error which an above average player like him shouldn't do.

Well good for Portugal that it has a player that score a bazillion goals.

 

[bobito]

All the eastern european countries can't stop fighting people.

Russia, Croatia, Hungary

 

[Syder]

Why is 80% over here hating on Ronaldo? Did I miss something? (Other than his bad performance which was expected)

Did you read is comments after the Iceland match?

 

[Tugatrix]

(breath...breath)

Put them on a plane and get them here

 

[Mimosa97]

It was. Check again.

I believe this was just before he goes Super Saiyan.

Yes it was.

Yes it was.

Alright alright. My bad. Jeeez

 

[jabuseika]

Another Snooze fest, Copa America save me.

 

[SgtCobra]

He's generally a prick, but his comments after the Iceland game is his most recent prickish behaviour. Karma.

Did you read is comments after the Iceland match?

Just read that stuff, jeez. Karma indeed.

It's not what you missed, it's what Rolando missed!

Hahaha there you go.

 

[immortal-joe]

Deep down, I want Portugal to progress and go as far as possible. Their incompetence combined with their intensity somehow makes them entertaining as hell to watch. Meanwhile the strong teams play with a much slower, methodical pace.

 

[OriginalThinking]

Ronaldo gets it tight, because of the perception that he is an arrogant prima donna.

Whether that perception is accurate or not, I don't know. But he certainly didn't do himself any favours with his behaviour at the end of the Iceland match. It's not the first time he's shown questionable behaviour on and off the pitch.

 

[gutter_trash]

Only Mou cans save us

 

[jelly]

Very amusing

Ronaldo is a me me glory hunter so it's always funny when he fails.

He always takes the 5th pen in shoot outs because he wants the glory as an example.

 

[Kurtofan]

two words

lol

naldo

 

[Endorphineforeverybody]

What a exciting game for us. We cant play soccer but the fans have been really cool. Singing and chanting the whole match.

 

[Shito]

French TV just showed a video from after the match, where Ronaldo waits for like an eternity for a fan next to him to prepare a selfie, reassuring 3 different people from the staff that "no it's ok, let him do", before the fan finally gets his selfie.

Guy can be a prick when it comes to the game, but he seems reaaaally good off the pitch.

 

[la_briola]

Another Snooze fest, Copa America save me.

How was the game a snooze fest? No one scored, but it was not boring.

 

[Moon Presence]

Ronaldo <3

Yeah noticed that too sometimes, also with the kids at the beginning. He is really nice

 

[Lender]

 

[Syder]

Put '3 Points' next to him.

 

[John Kowalski]

all i have to say is

lmao

 

[Oersted]

The selfie apparently got deleted lol

 

[Melfice7]

Hungary is gonna pay the bill, mark my words!

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Almer the boss.

 

[Andrefpvs]

Ronaldo also gives away lots of money to charities. In fact, he was the world's most charitable sportsperson last year.

His arrogance and attitude derive from his high competitiveness and desire to win. So you'll always catch him saying off-putting stuff if he's frustrated about his job. And it's totally okay to not like what he says sometimes.

However, there is no doubt that outside of all that and outside of football, he is a nice person.

 

[gutter_trash]

All we ask from him is to deliver for the National team like he does for Real Madrid

 

[AndyMoogle]

Number of free kicks by Ronaldo across Euro and World Cups: 36
Number of goals on FK by Ronaldo in Euro or WC: 0

He has to learn to deal with his frustrations. Ronaldo isn't 18 anymore.

anything that can helps niceland is much appreciated

Huh? How is it trolling? No other player has tried that many times without scoring on a FK in Euros and WCs.

Yeah, this pisses me off. The last free kick Portugal had today was PERFECT for Raphael Guerreiro -- in fact, Guerreiro scored his only free kick ever for Portugal, from that position.

It's time for the coaches to grow some balls and tell Ronaldo that not all free kicks are his.

 

[ClosingADoor]

Video of that.

Pretty cool of him. That guy must have been so nervous.

Also, this is the fourth time Ronaldo misses a PK this year.

 

[Kiraly]

If Bale/James/Isco/Kroos hell even S. Ramos don't start taking free kicks from next season on....

 

[Wind's Howling]

If Bale/James/Isco/Kroos hell even S. Ramos don't start taking free kicks from next season on....

Bale deserves to be #1 here.

 

[Dunkley]

Alaba: "Fuck. I thought fuck."

lol

So what'd he say in German?

 

[MrKaepora]

Portugal...I don't know if it's a comedy or a tragedy at this point.

Poor Guerreiro can't take a free kick because he may shatter Ronaldo's ego.

Also, nice subs Santos &#128076;

 

[Shiera Seastar]

So what'd he say in German?

Just guessing: "Fuck. Fuck hob i docht."

 

[eFKac]

Ohh fuck :-D

 

[la_briola]

Just guessing: "Fuck. Fuck hob i docht."

Yeah, that's about right, just more Hochdeutsch. He mostly tries to suppress his strong Viennese accent in interviews.

England never had a striker as good as Klose.

It is known.


Godking Klose.

 

[Baleoce]

I genuinely don't understand Portugal. Not only do they have Ronaldo in their team, but in general they have a fairly solid team. How can they not get results in these kind of tournaments.
