First World Cup memory..

[Mull]

... to be fair, ronaldo had a penalty and a fluff by the keeper for two of his goals, Portugal are a decent team.

Think thats a bit harsh mull,ronaldo took that penalty 3 minutes in,took ice cold nerves to do that.

He pulled his team by the scruff of the neck when spains second went in and again when the 3rd went in.

What a freekick though...peach!!!

[Mull]

Aye maybe stihl, just thought you were being a bit harsh on his team mates, they are always there or thereabouts, Argentina and messi on the other hand....

[Mark Bolam]

Amazing stuff.

I reckon anyone who isn’t Spanish was willing him to score that goal shot from outside the penalty kill zone.

Great game for a neutral like me.

Some of Spain’s passing and control was breathtaking.

Argentina have some talented players.

With the little man pulling the strings they could give anyone a fright right enough.

Aye strange that messi hasn’t shone that much at international level.

Maybe Ronaldo’s performance will start a kind of arms race, inspiring Messi to great deeds, like they do in La Liga.

 

4 games today, this could be a punishing month for marital harmony.

Spain reminded me of Brazil when I was younger not letting the other team have the ball and passing it all over the park.
Ronaldo can’t win it on his own can he?

Espania 82 wall charts and panini sticker albums.

 

Mexico 86.  That penalty goal by Zico.  Me and my friends must have practiced that (one step, pause, wait till the keeper dives, then roll it into the opposite side of the net) many a time in my back garden.

 

There has been a lot of memories over the years.  I don't tend to follow footy that much these days, but will be watching this thing unfold with my boys as they have the wall chart up in the kitchen and the excitement is rising.
