Did you smash it

he wasn’t selected for the next game and they were still shite.

Once he’s in the squad, his shadow looms large. Have to cut him out completely and retire him and I have my doubts if the Portuguese FA will allow that

Great point from Neves

McDermotX

Neves certainly has a high opinion of himself…

sligeach

The replays of Sesko's miss make it worse. And Pepe fumbling behind him.

Acosta

I'm more or less the same age as Pepe and I'm considering walking football at this stage. The man is a legend to be playing at a major tournament at his age. Should never have been still on the pitch this deep into extra time though. He's had a good season at Porto too.

McDermotX

Just a shame there's no Keane there to pundit on a captain bawling his eyes out in front of everyone with a 2nd half of ET still to play…..

like he'd ever criticise his mate…

glenjamin

Be mad if Slovenia go out. Essentially undefeated in 4 games with 4 draws.

I can't believe he wasn't brought on for penalties

Brian?

my money on Slovenia here.

Portugal don’t deserve it

100%

Maybe he's a very good player but based on this tournament anyway the hype isn't justified

To be fair, he's young and not the only 1 to disappoint.

Mbappe, De Bruyne, Lukaku, Chiesa, and many more stars aren't performing at this tournament either.

~Rebel~

Here's the question - does Ronnie go first, or last. Surely has to be first under the circumstances.

Acosta

He wouldn't critisize him. He's always been very loyal to him as a pundit. Often when Ronaldo didn't deserve it.

All five!

Bleating Lamb

Would be very interesting to know what likes of Bruno Fernandes,Pepe and Bernardo Silva think of the Ronaldo show……these guys have seen it all and surely want to win the thing out…….they know changes needed to be made after 70 mins……but Martinez takes off their most effective forward on the night.

Cartman78

Martinez has all the charisma and leadership skills of a wet tea towel

trashcan

Penos. Slovenia might even have the upper hand here with Oblak in goal.

Micah Richards “ Ronaldo showing his passion.” Pah. Self pity is what he’s showing. Would just be too funny if he misses again.

McDermotX

Feck !

sligeach

Slovenia miss the first penalty.

sonic85

Ah jaysus. Bad penalty

BorneTobyWilde

Ronaldo scores!!!!!!

ShamoBuc

Someone is bound to slip.

Dick phelan

In fairness that was some nerve.

sonic85

Damn. And Oblak went the right way and all

McDermotX

ah here

Ronaldo and Co getting off the hook here now….

sonic85

Game over

The Rooster

Ronaldo is a super penalty taker. Took an amazing save first time

~Rebel~

Ronnie goes some way to making amends. If he doesn't score again i'd say he'll be counting that as a 'tournament goal'.

sligeach

And Slovenia have missed their 2nd penalty. Game over already.

Brian?

Well **** it

BorneTobyWilde

..

Francie Barrett

sh1t the bed, shame.

Dr. Bre

brilliant goalkeeping. Leg behind the line

Weepsie

Roberto Martinez might well be the Spanish southgate.

Silva has a dreadful match, you have Ramos and Fix on the bench and he's leaving him in to just whinge

trashcan

Ah pox. Slovenia gone. So Ronaldo gets to play the hero.

~Rebel~

What a performance from Costa in fairness.

Dick phelan

In fairness Slovenia vs France would be a dire game.

martingriff

3 penalties same place all saved

sligeach

Portugal have had all the luck in this shootout.

It's already over after 3 penalties each.

sonic85

Absolute disaster from Slovenia. Every single penalty has been the perfect height for the keeper

~Rebel~

3 in a row, what a man, bloody hell! Man of the match right there.

Xander10

After all that ...

ShamoBuc

Ah well.

~Rebel~

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/122328208#Comment_122328208

Yeah, like, it's better for the tournament that Portugal stay in… just hope Martinez can grow some balls.

glenjamin

Absolute class from Costa.

BorneTobyWilde

Ronaldo lives to fight another day, he'll make his mark yet in this tournament

Dick phelan

Need to make a few changes for the next match. Sesko will have nightmares about that for years.

eagle eye

Incredible from Costa, he's a fantastic keeper but what he did there was insane. I'm not sure about the third penalty but the first two were good attempts.

Dave_The_Sheep

RTE commentators would make you sick with their fawning.
