Says the Messi cheerleader, shock. You're wrong.
Day 2: Portugal v Spain, Morocco v Iran and Egypt v Uruguay
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
They still have the best midfield in the tournament.
Clear foul although he did look for it
But what a start for Portugal
Spain have to come out

Soft, but it was a penalty defenders fault for dangling his leg out like that. Like it or not there was contact
Yeah it's probably his big weakness
Brazil for me. Even Belgium have a good one.
My first 90 minute world cup game and what a start! Ronnie
Dave needs to improve greatly with penalties. Knew there was no way he was saving from Ronnie.

Lol, Cristiano FC's got this.
Yep, coming out for the ball and pens. De Hea's 2 major weaknesses.My first 90 minute world cup game and what a start! Ronnie

They do, it was a clear pen
Training every day in training against him and one stepover was enough against Nacho.
Clear pen.
Clear pen.
Not really.
You guys are really not arguing whether or not that was a penalty? That was an obvious penalty
Leighton Baines disagrees.
Ronaldo laughing at Nacho. Commentators are appalling, nacho clearly steps into Ronaldo.
F£ck you Ramos. 
Thank God the friendlies yesterday and earlier today are over and the world cup can begin properly! Finally!

Messi fanboys.
Ronnie baited him and he took the bait.
Shoot just realised I forgot to put that bet on Portugal I was on about yesterday. 11/4 although imagine it shortened a fair bit after the coach sacking.
Azpilicueta is surely a better option at RB than Nacho.
Baines
Commentator can't tell the difference between Silva and Iniesta.
Ok, I just saw the foul. How are people saying that wasn't a penalty? That angle made it look blatant, so unless another angle showed something completely different I can't see how it's being disputed.
It was exaggerated of course but a blatant pen. No doubt about that.
My first thought was no pen , dive by Ronaldo but after watching it a few times , clear pen no question.
Spain vs Portugal, and sad acts are trying to turn it into another Messi vs Ronaldo borefest. Get a life.
At worst it was a 50/50 call and thus not clear enough for VAR to interfere.
Herrera would have buried that
And RVP during the 8-2.
The late manager was playing Odriozola in the friendlies before the tournament.
I was exaggerating but since he's been in England he must've faced 20 + and can only remember him saving 1 or 2 so really not a great percentage.
I genuinely don't recall any of those. This is what happens when you get old.
That's being very generous, it's a clear penalty.
I'm sorry... Did I miss something?
Come on now, he fainted it. Clear as day.
How can anyone say that's not a penalty? He bought it for sure but the defender took the bait and clipped him, it's a foul.
Bit harsh.My first 90 minute world cup game and what a start! Ronnie
Dave needs to improve greatly with penalties. Knew there was no way he was saving from Ronnie.
First thought when I saw the team sheet.
Pretty sure Nacho offers nothing going forward, so Azpi is a no brainer.
You and Cal aren't allowed to comment on Ronaldo related mattersFfs
