    Was rolling about on the floor laughing when he missed that pen and in general had a mare but you can't help admiring his movement etc. Plus he doesn't let his head drop. Still a * though.

    Was dying for Austria to score, would've been cherry on top. But their final pass was woeful. It was great for a 0-0.

    Ronaldos only attempted 66 passes and 1 cross but has hit 20 shots.

    Only 1 dribble completed to, same number as Josh Magennis whos only played 5 minutes.

    I know, I hate that.

    I mean, I get why they do it but I just love it when there's three live games per day. Always feel sad when that part of the tournament comes to an end. :54:

    At least he puts in a shift defensively... not, 0 tackles and 0 interceptions so far and isnt caught being lazy up front, only been offside 6 times, the 2nd most in the tournment.

    Shocking stuff from him with the missed penalty on top.

    He needs to take his mind off scoring goals and go back to being a winger and team player, teams cant continue to carry a guy who does nothing defensively, nothing creatively and won't even put a cross into the box for anyone and only looks to score goals himself.

    Ronaldo :smiley-laughing002:

    Just read the match report from the Telegraph, when they mentioned he missed a penalty, they asked if the post also had a small mentality :56:

    It's baffling that people put Ronaldo up there with Messi. There's so many players I'd rather have before him. Even if he goes and scores 4 in the next game, I just don't understand how people can watch his all round play throughout a season and think - he's one of the best players ever. He's scored a lot of goals for Real Madrid, an incredibly good goalscoring record. Despite that I think his all round game makes them a weaker team.

    He was absolute quality by the end of his United career. And the last time he won POTY it was because he achieved more that season than Messi.

    But yea, ability wise Messi is probably on another level. And at the moment, I'd rather have players like Suarez.

    Ronaldo proving in this tournament why so many people think he's a *.

    Watched his 'movie' and thought, aye, you are actually alright pal. Then I see him do * like he did aginst Iceland and go back to thinking he's a *.
