    Done nothing but score 2 goals.

    But he's also done way more than that anyway - Ronaldo's been brilliant so far, honestly have no idea what match that chap has been watching. He's been heavily involved in every break Portugal have had, and that little stunned pass back into the box that the other chap (didnt catch who it was) should've absolutely buried, was a beaut.

    Agree 100%.

    I don't get how people can say Ronaldo has done nothing.

    Proper game of football after the 2 piles of poo served up earlier.

    Ronaldo at his imperious best.

    Going to be a great 2nd half


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,284 ✭✭✭AidoEirE


    The big man Carvalho has impressed. For such a big unit he has neat little passes in tight spaces and composure.

    That's because Ronaldo's disgusting.
    I have a dislike for him as well. But put the shovel down fella; that hole you're stood in is deep enough.

    Well Costa shouldn't be on the pitch so they should be 2-0 down.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,179 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Sweet justice for the wrongly awarded penalty.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,416 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    They really had to fight for that chance as well, didn't let it die, and the chance came around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,042 ✭✭✭✭chopperbyrne


    Goal of the tournament.

    Quaresma feels like he's been around since Euro 2000.

    The next big thing to be fair.....since 09. Seen someone describe him as a great youtube footballer which is hard to argue with

    I remember him at Porto, and Mancini at Roma being two of the most sought after wingers in the world at one point, about 15 years ago!

    Both just sort of drifted away...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,111 ✭✭✭✭Quazzie


    Spain, just passing it about now with ease and it looks as if there is no one at Portugal with enough energy to pressure them and take it back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,284 ✭✭✭AidoEirE


    Bring back nani..

    Hierro's looking like he was born for this job on the sideline.

    Granted I've had a few beers at this stage.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,273 ✭✭✭Gizmo55


    Holy sh1t Ronaldo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,416 ✭✭✭Dave_The_Sheep


    Can't stand the bloke, but you have to hand it to him. That's some ****ing nerves of steel right there, not to mention the skill.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,507 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    Ronaldo surely on for the Golden Boot now.

    Have Spain picked in two predictor comps and in an individual bet, but christ you have to hand it to the man.

    Pique should know better not to dive in on him when in the periphery of the box though.

    Stupid sexy Ronaldo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Get the winner now Ronnie...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,300 ✭✭✭✭razorblunt


    Send it to extra time ta fukkk


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,136 ✭✭✭✭How Soon Is Now


    Can debate all day about who's better Messi Ronaldo but Ronaldo is always there very rarely let's his country or club down when needed.
