So when Sweden wins today and advance to the play off and later wins the cup, who will eat crow?

No one? Huh.

As a Swede, gladly.

We're the worst team at the tournament after Turkey actually did something.

 

[Beefy]

It's fair to point out that the guy works for the same media that accused him of child abuse

No need to even answer then. Just walk on.

They've outright said as much, it's not a rumour. I personally like Hodgson, and think that if England can't do well with the only manager with international experience (and who managed to take Switzerland up the world rankings) then they never will... but I have to admit that while in 2014 I felt he was let down more by the players than his selection, he's not exactly excelled himself here, and the decision to play for the 1-0 against Russia in particular will haunt him.

I still think the bigger issue is that England always enter every tournament with the expectation of winning it when they're nowhere near good enough and thus put themselves under unnecessary pressure when I'd rather they take a lesson from the women's team (or Wales) and treat it as "we will see how far we can get, might as well enjoy it".

The bigger problem is who on earth would take over at this point? Especially since Dyke is saying you need to have a Premier League manager. Fucking Pardew?!

Just because he has international experience doesn't make him good mate...

The guy is a joke. How he survived our last tournament lord only knows. He is the highest paid manager at the euro's - which is a joke in itself.

Sadly I'm not sure who we'd get if we sacked him - but we need someone better, we won't progress under Hodgson. He's a dinosaur in terms of tactics.

Ronaldo vs CMTV:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjzBfSinO6c

Love the mic sound in the air.

For context: this is like the cancer of news reporting in portugal, both in television and newspaper form. Ronaldo has had feuds with this newsgroup before, even in court.

I'm not sure if this "walk" was supposed to be offlimits to press or not.

That shit sounds like Thor's hammer flying.

 

[Rhaknar]

on the one hand , CMTV (and its newspaper) are gutter trash

on the other, thats not cool Ronaldo

[gutter_trash]

I thought nothing would have topped 2012's injustiça gif,
this one takes the cake

 

[spekkeh]

Ronaldo is so cool, he doesn't mic drop, he mic hurls.

 

[Stereogatari]

Pls Belçika and Italya

Pls

No need to even answer then. Just walk on.

Not the whole video that was the fourth time the reporter approached Ronaldo after being told three times that no player was answering questions because they are on break.

You have a source for that?

 

[Tugatrix]

"Ronaldo imagine today, you'll play against 11 CMTV microphones"

 

[Addi]

So, what about Gerard Pique showing his middle finger to the camera during the national anthem?

 

[Cappa]

You have a source for that?

It's what I'm reading on Spanish/Portuguese forums. This same paper is the one he sued for defamation for saying he was sexually assaulting children online.

Im searching for the whole video online when I find it I'll post it

 

[Wind's Howling]

That's Pique for you.

 

[gutter_trash]

That's Pique for you.

isn't Pique a separatist?

 

[Cappa]

isn't Pique a separatist?

Lol if he were a separatist believe me he wouldn’t be playing on the national team or dressing up his kid in spain jerseys

 

[luso]

Lol if he were a separatist believe me he wouldn’t be playing on the national team or dressing up his kid in spain jerseys

We supports Catalunha independence though. ..
Ronaldo GIF with potential, just replace the mic with anything.

 

[His Majesty]

Don't know about Piqué but Xavi is an outspoken supporter of Catalan independence and he played his fair share of games for Spain. I don't think Del Bosque lets politics influence his squad selection.

 

[neorej]

Marvelous

 

[Stereogatari]

My video of Turkey's 2nd goal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIQtXrLu6vA

I'm so upset I didn't record the celebration, but I had well and truly lost my mind haha.

Please turn off adblock for the video, it's nice to get a little pocket money for these things

 

[Cappa]

I meant he wouldn't be willing to go. Del Bosque doesn't give a shit about anything unfortunately.

Oleguer refused to play with the Spanish national team due to his separatist views. (he was shit anyway so it's not like Spain missed out on much)

Problem is that Piqué is actually good, very good.

 

[=GabrielKnight=]

 

[Cappa]

He's wildly inconsistent like Ramos, both players had a shitty season overall. When they're good they're good but both players make to many mistakes to be considered among the best at the position.

Im curious to see how Barcelona survives if/when mascherano leaves and how they replace him.

 

[CheDominik]

I think the Singles will beat the crap out of the married. They're still hungry!

 

[Melfice7]

The sooner I never have to see Pepe play again, the better. Fuck that guy and his shitty embarrassing tactics.

Portugal's CB's should be Fonte and Carvalho.. i always feel Pepe (and Bruno Alves) are ticking bombs that could go off at any time

 

[airjoca]

Agreed. And if Sanches doesn't play today, Fernando Santos may as well quit his job.

 

[Shito]

Hahaha, genius.

 

[El Topo]

I think the Singles will beat the crap out of the married. They're still hungry!

The married get to field twice as many players though.

 

[Acorn]

Still putting a tenner on every match pepe plays to get sent off. Dunno why anyone takes the risk with him, not like there aren't plenty better with control of their emotions.

 

[Jamie OD]

And they're committed.

Jesus do you guys actually believe what you post? Pepe has only seen a straight red twice.(Barcelona and international vs Germany) in his entire career!

The last time he was sent off at the club level was in 2011-12 for a double yellow.
When he was sent off against Germany at the world cup it was his first sending off ever for country (and last)

You want to bench Portugal's best defender based on his prior history of aggression which has been pretty non existent for the past 5 years? Lol

 

[Agent_Tiro]

If anything Pepe wins more yellow cards by drawing fouls and play acting than from aggression. (By win I mean his play acting results in the other team getting the yellow card)

 

[Tubie]

Yea that shit is the one thing that annoys me about him, but overall he's been a solid/clean defender the past 4-5 seasons.

At Madrid, Ramos is the one that gets sent off due to straight reds or double yellows.

 

[Baleoce]

At Madrid, Ramos is the one that gets sent off due to straight reds or double yellows.

Isn't he on like 21 red cards or something silly for Real Madrid now? Mix of mostly double yellows and some straights.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Today, I am Hungarian. Hungry gaf where you at.

 

[Dragon1893]

Fuck CM. Well done Ronaldo.

 

[Paganmoon]

Really looking forward to the Iceland game. I think there are more Swedes rooting for Iceland, than Icelanders

Quickest yellow card in the tournament so far!

Yep, Ronaldo did the world a favour and served justice.
