Ghana have been truly terrible

Written in the stars. The fawning will be astonishing.Ronaldo has 1/10’d it that first half but you know he’ll score a penalty and then still get the headlines for equalling Eusebio, despite having played 3 times as many games.
Shocking? He's almost 38. Most players retire years before that. No one can beat father time forever.Ronaldo doesn't seem to provide anything of value when he's on the pitch. It's shocking how far he has fallen in such a short time.
Dalot with a very nice assist which is nice to see though.
McT wouldn’t get booked in that bbc situation as it would require Scotland to get to the World Cup.why was suarez not booked for arguing over the penalty - right in the face of the ref. Can guarantee someone like McT would be booked for that
Most players nearing 38 also don't think they're still as good as their ego thinks they are.Shocking? He's almost 38. Most players retire years before that. No one can beat father time forever.
Yeah I was one of those banging the table last season that he was still very good for us even if he wasn't "prime Ronaldo", and he even had some serious match winning performances down the stretch. But my god from the first kick this season he's looked like a complete shell. Finishing is off (which is the one thing he's in the team for), he's a step slow reacting, movement is easier for defenders to track, and has the Rooney symptom of looking technically poor now that his legs have gone. He's strictly an immobile poacher now, except that he's not banging in the chances he gets.I legit can’t remember another high profile case where someone’s body has gives up on them so drastically as with Ronaldo.
He wasn’t at this best last season but still did alright all things considered. Part of it must be psychological as well, but it is so strange how father time caught up with him like during the summer. Looks way out of place.
I don't think he keeps anyone near him who would dare criticize him.Can't even blame him he's fecking 38. Someone he respects has to get hold of him and tell him to respect himself.
Even from one season to another, though. Last season his finishing was still very sharp. This season he cannot buy a goal except from the penalty spot.Shocking? He's almost 38. Most players retire years before that. No one can beat father time forever.
Santos is to blame, putting Leao on the bench for a washed out Ronaldo is a crime against football.Can't even blame him he's fecking 38. Someone he respects has to get hold of him and tell him to respect himself.
And why is a 38 year old playing a group game when they’re already through? How does that help him or the team?Shocking? He's almost 38. Most players retire years before that. No one can beat father time forever.
We just need to accept that the only reason he’s around is to try and stat pad further considering Portugal have already qualified.Ronaldo doesn't seem to provide anything of value when he's on the pitch. It's shocking how far he has fallen in such a short time.

Itll be hilarious when it all comes crashing down in the next round or two and the inquests begin like they did vs Iceland.English media bizarre arrogance coming out again. Linekar saying Walker needs to be rested so he can deal with Mbappe in the 1/4 final. Forget about Senegal they’ll be a walkover.
Yes it is. Wasn't even looked at againThat seems like such an obvious stamp to me? Am I missing something?
You’d think they are playing right now.English media bizarre arrogance coming out again. Linekar saying Walker needs to be rested so he can deal with Mbappe in the 1/4 final. Forget about Senegal they’ll be a walkover.
I've said it all week, drawing inspiration from that time you failed by missing a penalty wasn't the best idea. At the clutch moments it won't charge you up but chip away.Feels like this Ghana vs Uruguay game is over.
Felt like it was over when Ayew missed that pen to be honest
He's scared of getting into any duels with defenders.What the actual feck was that from Ronaldo?
clearly I meant in any gameMcT wouldn’t get booked in that bbc situation as it would require Scotland to get to the World Cup.
Hilarious. Beating Senegal is far from a given.English media bizarre arrogance coming out again. Linekar saying Walker needs to be rested so he can deal with Mbappe in the 1/4 final. Forget about Senegal they’ll be a walkover.
Dunno think that's actually a fair enough statement considering trippier is the understudy, and Trippier started the first two games anyway. I actually would start Trippier against Senegal and Walker against France if anything, England will have more of the ball against Senegal. It's a fair tactic.English media bizarre arrogance coming out again. Linekar saying Walker needs to be rested so he can deal with Mbappe in the 1/4 final. Forget about Senegal they’ll be a walkover.
The people he respects are the yes men who tells him how good he is, see: Piers MorganCan't even blame him he's fecking 38. Someone he respects has to get hold of him and tell him to respect himself.
Yeah much as I don't like them you know they won't be afraid to get in Brazil's facesUruguay v Brazil should be a cracker anyway.
Yeah journos looking past them as well,sometimes people will never learnEnglish media bizarre arrogance coming out again. Linekar saying Walker needs to be rested so he can deal with Mbappe in the 1/4 final. Forget about Senegal they’ll be a walkover.
Is it any wonder his ego is the size of the sun and he has his head lodged up his own arse? Look at how much attention he gets. Numerous fecking threads have been dominated by discussion about him in the last couple months. People are obsessed with the man. It's nauseatingMost players nearing 38 also don't think they're still as good as their ego thinks they are.
