I knew he was gonna be sent off from the moment they went into a losing position and with him already on a yellow card for protests on the first half :lol: I felt he was on one of those "really sore loser" days.

It'd probably have gone a bit like Modric now at Madrid. He feels like he has quality to play more but Ancelotti doesn't. Some sparks flying off between both. Perez is a rat, but an incredibly smart man, and was able to ship off Ronaldo and Ramos...

As much as I love United and Ronaldo, specially together - I never wanted him to rejoin us the 2nd time. It had everything to go wrong (which it did), and in my humble view, the squad was in such bad shape it spent a season with a 37 year old...

Teams like Bayern had serious discussions about him, so it definitely wasn't that black or white about teams not wanting him. Oliver Kahn did come out saying he was a fantastic footballer but didn't fit with Bayern's transfer DNA, which means...

Yeah, I think more than anything, I try to look at the quality of the goals he's scoring, his technique, his body positioning... Those things tell more about how good of a player he still is, more than scoring a billion goals in Saudi League. He...

His assists today are better than his goals. Well, the 3rd goal was sexy I guess. But this 2nd assist, classy flick with the outside of the boot.

And that Arab "Champions League" isn't even a FIFA-sanctioned competition, I think? So basically, zero trophies. Anyway, yeah I do watch the games but I don't cancel social appointments to watch them. I can always watch the full game unspoiled...

Fair enough Marvin, as I also said, it's the way I view it but I don't like putting my view in here as if it were universal truth. Just another opinion as valid as yours. Sorry for the long reply :P I mentioned Jota's different skillset in my...

I had one drink too much while typing it out I guess :lol: :lol: :lol: Can't tell you how many times I re read it looking for typos either :lol:

There's a degree of subjectivity in what I say because the way I see Portugal's team is my own and ya know, sometimes different angles/opinions are equally correct. Martinez tends to play 4-4-3, so that implies having a goalscorer, so as a...

Why shouldn't he start? There's no one else better at scoring goals for us. We were desperately searching for a consistent world class number 9 before Ronaldo started banging almost a goal per game for us after 2011, and after he's gone, we'll...

Man what a shame Porto couldn't finish it off in the penalties. Would've been a perfect night of a Portuguese team going to the quarters + Arsenal going out. Everyone likes seeing Arsenal going out of a competition.

Sérgio schooled Arteta tonight :lol::lol: We the Portuguese teams sometimes in nights like these we need a bit of luck, we had that on our side, and I might be dead wrong, but my god did Sergio school Arteta tonight. Not a single shot on target...

Ahahaha, it might seem like it, but in reality I know Jesus and Castro just by virtue I'm Portuguese and they coached there for several years, in example. I only really make a point in watching All Nassr, but at my work place in the cantine...

As with a lot of things in football it's subjective, in the end. I think individually Al Nassr has better players, for sure, agreed there with you, but Hilal has quality in its ranks as well, and in the end, I think Al Hilal has the best team...
