I’d imagine Ronaldo keeps a healthy distance between himself and DNA tests.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I'm pretty sure that most strikers in this world cup could have attempted and failed this header. He didn't even jump particularly high. But yeah, lets say that in this specific situation, he did better than a 10 man team without any strike, what an impressive contribution!
Seriously, hes not our player anymore i dont care.
Just to show how stupid this system can be.
Still, a 6.5-7/10 performance is considered stellar performance for him nowadays. That shows how bad he was for United
Boom!
Pellistri looks a talent. Great turn of pace, hope we get the chance to see him at OT
This is only taken into consideration for red cards, not penalties. If he denied a goalscoring chance he would have been given a red in addition to the penalty. He wasn't. You can't give a penalty for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity and then not give a red card. It doesn't work like that.
Which means it's not an intentional handball. Then accidental handball rules go into effect. His hand was used as support to break the fall. As per the rules, which also use an image with this exact situation, it's not a penalty.
I didn't say that he was impressive, far from that. But he played a role in his team's victory and that's a fact.
Since when was Inaki Williams Ghanaian? I was always under the impression that he’s Spanish and I thought he came on against Germany?
Portugal looked decent tonight. Some very good players in their squad like Dias, Cancelo, Bernardo Silva, Bruno and Rafael Leao.
His brother plays for Spain.
That was his brother. Inaki declared for Ghana.
Make of that what you will.Tweet

Thats his brother Nico Williams. Not to be confused with the Welsh leftback Neco Williams
That was his younger brother that came on vs Germany, Nico Williams. Both their parents are from Ghana, kids were born in Spain. They go to Ghana often to visit grand parents.
But the goal should have happened with him, the luck after is just that. Luck. You can’t have a bad miss then say it’s ok because luck bailed you out.
It was just the typical Ronaldo miss this season.

His frown is upside down
Wait,this is legit picture?
yes! Was shocked when I saw it live!
Call me petty but seeing goals taken away from Ronaldo is going to massively bug him. It feels great 
Yeah the last sentence is obviously accurate, in that he was terrible with us. But I still believe he's a hindrance to the overall play of Portugal, who hare much fluider without him. Which is fine for me, I don't support Portugal, but there's a lot of potential in that team that isn't being maximized.
Whats funny is that Portugal won't be rid of Santos anytime soon, he has delivered the bare minimum now, get past R16 and he will last a couple of tournaments after this.
I was hoping for a video. I’m not necessarily saying he didn’t wave his arms. But how can we say so conclusively from this? That pic could have been from any moment in the game.
Fifa betrayed Ronaldo. It was his goal. He will call Morgan later.
Yeah. I wasn't very impressed in the first match but he did well under intense pressure
Uruguay player did not use his hand to "support the body".
Yeah, no one’s calling that a stellar performance unless I missed something.
Seriously, hes not our player anymore i dont care.
Just to show how stupid this system can be.
Still, a 6.5-7/10 performance is considered stellar performance for him nowadays. That shows how bad he was for United
If you have a replay option, just watch the game from after the celebration. The next two minutes till Darwin takes the ball from his feet when he is about to shoot will show you.
Don’t have replays here unfortunately
Ohhhhhhhhhhh!I know we have to do that. That's what we did late in the qualifiers to nail them. I regularly travel to Rio by the way so watch Flamengo quire a lot. He is mint.
The problem is this joker seems hellbent on dismantling anything we may construct anyway. Wasn't that bad last year, he tried hard but was rather peripheral so you appreciated the workrate and badgering. Now he has become the focal point though, which is a fecking disaster.
Ronaldo will put pressure on FA to demand that goal from FIFA.
Of course that he will say to Bruno that it wasn't his call
Of course that he will say to Bruno that it wasn't his call
Just gave my opinion, not based on the rule. It was a good decision for me
I was half surprised they didn't announce that he was player of the match when he got subbed. Just by default.
Stop the thread right here
Isn’t he the better of the 2 though? I’d of thought he was good enough to play for Spain if he chose them.
The potential not being maximized has more to do with the coach but I’m sure we won’t agree on that
Argh… id of thought inaki would have chose Spain and could have made their squad. Wonder what made him go for Ghana… obviously it’s easier to make their squad.
His potential is that he can score from the penalty spot. That's all he offers.
