Getting revenge on Ronaldo in his last tournament after he fucked us over in his first would be beautiful symmetry.

Although he may have done nothing in 04 and cheated us in 06, I forget.
If he didn’t cheat someone else probably did. They can’t resist

Although Portugal are decent, they're the one I'd hope to come through. Think we match up better with them than France and Spain.

Yeah same. Think any team left is beatable, but we'll probably go out to someone like Turkey

The Ronaldo show has started already then.

He just can't take his eyes off himself on the big screen, such a fucking weirdo.

I can't remember a time where I wanted both teams to lose so badly. I hate them both with a passion.

I can only see France getting through, but if anyone can shithouse it you can't rule Portugal out either. Good thing is one of them goes home.

Being the ones to make Ronaldo cry would be especially sweet, but I can't see it getting that far.

Ronaldo and Crybaby Bruno of course. Would flood the pitch

Between this, Keir Starmer, our lack of transfer activity and Southgate’s 5th footballing crime of the tournament to come tomorrow, my insomnia’s been cured.

I get Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe level players have got their rep on merit but I cannot stand how the Comms teams fawn all over every little thing they do. They can do something really average that makes no impact and the commentators are creaming their boxers 🤮

The Ronaldo love-in, in particular is hard to listen to. If you have to bring up a free kick he scored against Portsmouth the best part of 20 years ago, what’s the point?

5 yard pass and it's incredible work.

If they do simple cross field switch the vision is incredible.

Fail to get on the end of a cross and it's "was in the perfect position but the winger couldn't find him"

So tedious.

Jenas saying Saliba’s done nothing to say he’s had a good game so far

Uhh Jermaine you’ve got 15 minutes to fill and fuck all to talk about

This game isn’t the funnest.

Back to England; the team shouldn’t have been leaked and it’s mad the media will be the first to criticise the team/staff/individuals if we don’t do well, yet will happily leak a team sheet.

If that is the team though I’d be pretty happy with it considering the limitations and lack of performance thus far. Key is how the WB’s are set up ie not ultra defensive and the interactions/positioning of the top three.

I just have visions of us turning it into a system with 8 defensive players hoping that the other 3 can pull out some magic. That and playing Walker at CB doesn’t fill me with much confidence.
