    Portugal fluked their way to Euro 2016, it had nothing to do with being inspired by Kristina. No more than Liverpool were inspired by Jimi Traoue to win the CL in 2005.

    Your obvious lustful attraction to Kristina is making you irrational. Harry Callahan would not approve.

    See this is why despite my Catholic upbringing I'm thoroughly pro-abortion.

    Anyway stuck a score on Spain, and the kickboxer is hoping his boyfriend gets back from Russia early.

    Mental game, I thoght Spain played really well and going ahead after falling behind twice I could have seen them becoming bokies favourites to win it as they were easily outplaying a decent team but to lose 3 goals and not win, quite shocking from them tbh

    Ronaldo fair play getting a hat-trick and the freekick as well at the end under pressure.

    Really thought De Gea was suspect not only for the shambles of Portugal's second but also with his positioning for the third. Take nothing away from the quality of the free kick, top drawer. But it seemed to me De Gea was far too confident in the wall covering the entire left side of the goal. Even a step back in could have seen him get closer to it at least. Could be slightly unfair, but I would say tonight should act as the wake up call to those who cannot see past Man U or the EPL and claim he is the best keeper on the planet. Not even close to Buffon, Lloris or Courtious to name a few ahead of him.

    Sorry, watched 75 minutes of that game and Ronaldo did nothing. Apart from score a hat-trick. Iniesta is El Illusionista, but Ronaldo is the ultimate Houdini.

    He throws strops, preens and generally is an egocentric *, yet somehow using his impressive athletic prowess, manages to score a fuckton of important goals.

    He's nowhere near the player Messi is, but he is impressive nonetheless. I do think this season in particular luck has been on his side. That 2nd goal is case in point.

    To be fair, he won a penalty and scored it with his own run to open the scoring and then he won and scored a freekick, 2nd goal was a bit of a fluke though 99 times out of 100 a keeper saves that easily.

    He is always pretty quiet in games, probably only touched the ball 20 times but you can't argue with 3 goals. It's been years probably well over 5 years now since he influenced games with runs and crosses or getting on the ball.

    Could see from on the telly he had left a big * off space on his left, but even at that the height and dip from Zoolander was his look at me moment.

    Did nothing, lol, ffs.

    He was excellent in the first half, he did fall out it certainly in the 2nd half.

    Brilliant game.

    Ronaldos ego is just way out there, but personally for me he backs it up and I see him ahead of Messi. Ffs, the guy has more records than HMV, and also has stepped up on the international stage more than once.

    the free kick was a joke.

    Made it look so easy, so much so that even I thought I could score that it's crazy how simple he makes things seem at times

    Ronaldo's talent is amazing and undeniable but I find it difficult to marvel at how great his free kick taking skills are when the diving * has to cheat to get said free kick. He knew he was on the edge of the box and decided he was going down before Pique ever made a move towards him.

    Hope Portugal get * out asap. Cheats to the core.

    Not discounting the fact Ronaldo has been part of the Portugal squad who won Euro 2016 but it's often forgot that Messi near enough single handedly took Argentina to the WC final in 2014. Certainly not a match for winning it but shouldn't be overlooked either. Also been part of Argentina squads who made it to a couple of Copa America finals, again only to choke at the final hurdle.

    Argentina have a horrendous record with finals actually.

    If he turns up in that form again today, Morocco are in for an absolute hammering here. Might actually have less chances in this one though, expect Morocco to play 11 behind the ball.
