Spot on.Ronaldo
Back to cheerleading like with the Euro win
Why do the rules allow a defender to try (and fail) to block the ball and not be penalised for hand-balling instead?
How dare him be happy ?? What a cnut.
Your supposed to a egoistical arsehole who’s really sad he didn’t score like the CAF said!
You thought he was good in these first 2 games?
Would that surprise you? Considering who could claim it.
It’s the most obvious penalty if you completely ignore the rules for penalties
He wasn’t the best player on the pitch but he was better then Felix in both games.You thought he was good in these first 2 games?
His positioning has been great, scored a goal, linked up the play which led to the winning goal vs Ghan, had a direct influence in the first goal today.
He’s done his job. Looks better in these two games then in any game for United this season.
It wouldn’t but they’re not that stupid. They can’t be.
That's not exactly a high bar. He was dogshite 1/10 for us most games.
the man child literally spent the next 2 mins after the announcement taking pot shots in anger.
had a clear chance to play the ball through to Leao for a 1 on 1 and turned to hit it into the defender from 30 yards out
They've qualified top of the group.
Probably not.
Looking at that penalty, I think he has to keep his hand there to land. However he's falling and takes the ball out of brunos path.
It's accidental but I think a penalty should be given all the time. The defender dives in and is done, and it's kinda crazy a defender can bat it away from the players path to stop a goal

He missed the chance! You’d think he dummied the ball on purpose reading your posts.
It was a bad miss, that’s all it was. The ball going in was luck
Think that's true, he hasn't been amazing by any means but a long way from the hindrance he was for Utd.
Also Diogo Costa is not ready to start for Portugal
Yes he was, in all fairness.
That too. But I put emphasis on Arrascaeta. I see a lot of Flamengo games and he's magic. Put him in front of Betancur and Valverde
Bruno my captain my leader.
doesn’t look like there was a gap between the ball and his head. Must have just skimmed off his hair.
Why? He saved everything.
100 percent he claims it before the goals panel. He has his own demons with Messi scoring a blinder.
A good chance he puts it into the stands if he gets his head to it
Still the goal wouldn't have happened without him and it was an important one in such a game.
Looks a mistake waiting to happen
That’s something you’ve conjured up from your own mind. There was no shred of evidence to indicate he was mad.
It's a fake celebration compared to the first one
No change in the rotation of the ball. Looks like it went straight through.
does tip of the fringe count?
You do know that a ball can hit a hand accidentally and it not be a penalty right. His hand was in a natural position for a fall like that so was not intentional.
He had a good game. Not the best on the pitch by any means but was integral.
I assume so but no idea - like you said the trajectory doesn’t alter at all, so it’s got to be by the slimmest of margins.
It makes me sad to know Bruno could have an immense tournament and lead Portugal all the way to winning the World Cup with the most goals and most assists... and even still the media would just make Portugal winning their 1st World Cup all about Ronaldo
oh really? What about the arms he waved immediately when the goal was announced in the stadium. Let me look for it on twitter
Intent has always been a massive part of the handball rule, and in cases like the one we’ve just seen there was zero intent to handle the ball. Giving handball makes a mockery of the game.
Have to praise Pepe's composure. Guess having all these cameras and VAR does wonders
That's half the games done folks
I do miss the days of him kicking strikers up the arse in the middle of the box.
Pepe is sooo good.
if ronaldo can score without touching the ball then anything is possible through our lord and saviour.
i reckon he was just trying to show off and sick new break dance move he had been developing and was caught out.
