Ridiculous how people are slagging him off. It's like they expect him to pick the ball off the defence and dribble past the entire German team and score himself. How the feck can an attacker like Ronaldo do something when the rest of the team are playing like morons?
Sad that he will never win a tournament with them, as there are just simply too many Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime in his side.

Durm would be the only possible improvement offensively if he plays at LB. But Höwedes has been very solid defensively so there's no real need to change.

Can't blame Ronaldo much for this. He's an attacker and you can't do much when the rest of the team is useless and being shat on at the other end. Everyone knows he's just coming back from injury too.
Why not? The Argies were hopeless last night and Messi took all the blame.

Are u basing that on this performance? Portugal haven't been able to cope with him
No, because that'd be stupid. Germany fans have been critical of him too. A lot of them wouldn't have him in the starting XI.

And what? He was ok. Hardly anything special. He hasn't been any better than the rest of the team. They've all played pretty well but have hardly got out of second gear.

No it's not. Roy Keane had a winning mentality, didn't see him fecking about like that. It's a cheaters mentality... cheating to win.
Well said. Although there is not a player in this world cup that wouldn't have done the same. It is embarrassing to watch football with people who are not fans.

And another fecking mention of the USA. I hope Ghana stick 6 past them.
Doubtful Ghan
Messi was great from the 65 minute on but up until that point he had been the worst player on the pitch. Ronaldo isn't fit.

No I don't like one better than the other. Neither has played like the best in the world.

Anywho who really cares anyway even the greatest WC players needed to have talent around play well.

Today's Nani is the one that I'm very much used to these past two seasons. But some on here still are insistent on proclaiming him some sort of great player.

Can't believe i got a barrage of abuse the other day in the Nani thread when I simply pointed out he's dog shit. The obvious really.

I just hope moves his influence to get Bento sacked like he did with Queiroz after that inept display in the WC 2010. If Coentrão gets injured we are fecked in the rest of the world cup.

Shit pass from Moutinho causes injury for Coentrao. Nobody will say a bad word about Moutinho or any other player, because it is all Nani's fault
