Re: Euro 2016 thread
I did laugh when Ronaldo missed the penalty last night, but back backs a bitch

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Unfortunate for him but its hard to be a huge impact when you're surrounded by pretty average players. Bar Ronaldo I don't think I could consider Portugal to be that good anymore.
I think England will actually perform better against teams considered to be better than them too. Rooney has been an absolute anchor in the middle. People were talking up Pogba but Rooney so far has matched him all the way.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
The No:7 striker for the Swiss makes Emile Heskey look skillful, he is dreadful.

Either the French players have very sharp nails or the Swiss shirts are rubbish, never seen as many ripped in one game.

There was rather a lot of shirt pulling going on....
The result suited both sides I'm sure, Payets volley would have been a peach of a goal.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Ronaldo is nothing but a spoilt player, and needs to be dumped on his backside. He is not as good as Messi.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
You make it sound like he was born with a spoon up his arse and destined for greatness. He's far from it. His childhood was far from what one would expect and his training regime is unquestionable.
But if you insist.. Ronaldo outscored and outperformed Messi this season.
Why even bother comparing them. They're the two greatest footballers to have played the game. Ronaldo's Champions league tally vs games taken is ridiculous and Messi is well on his way to being a one club legend. He's outscored Ronaldo before and probably will again.
To be fair either of them are better than any premier league player by a mile.

I don't think they're the greatest ever, I wonder how long they'd have lasted with the hatchet men of yesteryear that the likes of George best and Maradona had to endure. It's a pointless task comparing the greats from different era's as although quality will always shine some would thrive in different environments

That's always the wildcard. The sheer quality of what's now considered a standard football compared to those of that era. Pitch quality, kits including football boots. Even goalposts and nets have changed.
Even just watching the Premier League from the 90s you can get to grips with just how much faster and more sleek it is today.

Re: Euro 2016 thread
Great for Wales, don't mean to undermine them at all but Russia are absolutely naff. Russian football is in an absolute state. Embarrasing performance over three games and they've got the world cup in two years. Reputation really because I think Wales are better on paper and on the pitch.

Feel England will still win but Slovakia have offered more than our previous two early on and I feel were suffering from having Rooney on the bench and not dictating the game.
