Ronaldo scored from about 2 of his every 100 pot shots from distance, and if anything his ridiculous shooting from everywhere highlights his stupidity and selfishness as a player - it's not something to use as a positive. A couple go in like the Porto one, and people use it as evidence of his...

' Ironically I think the best CR was circa 2012 before he started winning.' Yep, made that point myself too. Which further highlights the vast importance of team-mates in a TEAM sport. And the idiocy of those who claim he carried RM (Lol).

Fair enough. To me the likes of Cruyff, Di Stefano, R9 and others were significantly more gifted than CR. I am not really a fan of CR at all as a player. To me he is more athlete than footballer and spent far too much of his career playing on the shoulder of the last man. He also has a huge list...

The main thing he should do I think is drop one of Bellingham or Foden. I would also drop Saka for Palmer. Playing Saka at LB or LWB is just another example of playing people out of position to get all the best players (on paper) into the team. As would be a 3 at the back, I think. In saying...

Fell asleep and missed the second half. First half was good though some of the VAR waiting times were a farce. I think Vinicius maybe should have had a penalty too.

I think Mbappe is equally as talented if not more so, but yeah, will never achieve as much. Though Mbappe has already pissed all over him in World Cups. Nobody is saying he wasn't talented (although he's always relied more on athleticism I think), it's the sheer over the top hysteria that puts...

Kaka became a Portugal fan at 1.06

To be fair the way France and Portugal have performed and the way Portugal conduct themselves I don't think they are deserving of being labelled worthy semi-finalists. They're strong on paper, yes, but other teams have played better. Germany and Spain have been the two best teams in my opinion...

Have gone for 2-2. Now locked the prediction and cannot change it. I have yet to decide in the other game but likely a Paraguay win by a single goal.

That's funny as fuck lol.

Yeah Brazil are a team on the down it seems these days - not producing all-time greats anymore (Vini potentially aside) and don't look much of a cohesive team either. Haven't won the World Cup for 24 years minimum. Colombia can definitely beat them.

Fair enough. What's funny with this format it Brazil could win tonight and Colombia could go on to beat them in semis - or vice-versa.

Was quiet today, couldn't get involved and no opportunities appeared in the box. Hopefully we see him score against England on Saturday.

Do you think it will be Brazil in the final against your predicted Argentina then? Or do you fancy Colombia?

Fair enough. I tend to agree. He's obviously achieved more than Eusebio, but there's every chance Eusebio had more ability. Eusebio's performance in 66 pisses all over any Ronaldo international tournament though, to be fair. Like you say though, a pointless comparison.

Well, they play again on Saturday. What do we think, are they gonna get their act together? I feel if they don't Switzerland clearly have more tools to punish them with than Slovakia did (and Slovakia almost sent them out). If they turn up it could be a really good game, but the question...

Not sure on Balotelli either, though he seems cooler than Ibra. I can agree on Zlatan though being a contender for most cringeworthy player about.

Aside from the big two in CONMEBOL, Colombia, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay (for a while) have always been really fun and entertaining teams to watch. They've produced some really exciting flair players. You can extend that to Mexico in CONCACAF. These are nations who will likely never win a World...

The weird thing about Zlatan is people claiming he's charismatic and says things for laughs. I think he's just a tool, and really believes he's one of the greatest players of all time (he isn't). Obviously I have slagged Ronaldo off and I consider him overrated, but I still have him inside the...

If he cried after every bad performance for Portugal he'd be able to fill the Atlantic. Is he really better than Eusebio? Or is he just more famous and playing in a more recent era?
