He refused to play for Chelsea...

Silly foul by Pique. Costly.

Awesome player
Nailed!

 

[Covstu]

What a goal! The guy is still top drawer

 

[Covstu]

Not seen a game like this for years

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Why did Spain take their best players off?

Fuck off Ronaldo.

 

[Paul Anthony]

It was a great free kick, you just knew it was going in.

 

[Covstu]

This game deserves to end at 3-3, can’t pick a winner

Though I think Ronaldo is a pretty decent striker, I still prefer Marc McNulty.

Brilliant player, best in the world imo. Lifts every team he's in. Delivers on the big stage.

Nah Beavon anyday

IF they play like this.

No guarantee and we have seen Spain wobble before.

Is Nah Beavon, Stuart's little brother?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Well what a game that was! Be very hard to find better anywhere else this World Cup surely? A genuine classic.

Welsh cousin

Can’t think of a game as good as that for a long long time

 

[Otis]

Welsh cousin

He sounds like he should be in politics.

Fuck off Ronaldo.

he lost the ball once in the first half, very poor by his standards!

In the words of Brucie “Good game good game”

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

I am shook. Need to take a minute to recover!

That was just a joy to behold, had almost everything. Such a variety of goals too: a penalty, a free kick, a pile driver from outside the box, a tap in from a well worked free kick, strength nifty footwork for Costa's first, a keeper mistake.

 

[wingy]

Who had it come in as a bet?

 

[Houchens Head]

Brilliant game for neutrals. Brilliant game for all football. What an advert for the game! Even though I was willing Spain to win, I was satisfied with the end result after watching that! Fantastic game! Follow that, England!

 

[Houchens Head]

Who had it come in as a bet?

Not many I bet! I'd got Spain as 2-1 winners.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Is Nah Beavon, Stuart's little brother?

I thought he founded the NHS?

 

[lifeskyblue]

I hate ronaldo but you just have to say wow...what a player!!!
Great game of football. It’s why we all love the game.

My mate had a tenner on Ronaldo from outside the area and Costa to score a header at 200-1.

As good as the game was my favourite moment was him yelling "For fucks sake man, use your head, use your head!!" as Costa poked in that second goal, hoping he'd have gone in Houchen-esque a foot off the floor to head it in :emoji_joy:

Still makes me laugh, because he thinks he's a god, yet fans still prefer Messi (me included). Can't deny he's quality, though. I noticed that bit where Ronaldo just started walking around in midfield when the ball was a few feet away (Ferdinand pointed it out) as he was sulking over a misplaced pass. Although he sulks occasionally he is deadly if you give him a chance. Spain should have killed them off, though.

I prefer Messi. But the way Ronaldo has reinvented himself and changed his game to compensate for his loss of pace is astonishing.

Depends what you believe. Costa reckoned Conte sent him a text saying he wasn't part of his plans...which is what kicked it all off

France are throwing themselves to the floor at every opportunity

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

This is probably just the kind of game Australia want right now, quite niggly and bitty with France unable to settle. They've pressed really well so far
