Or Beckenbauer or Cruyff. No love for those two?

Makes sense now - third one was Iran 2018. He should also have been sent off for an elbow in that game but ref bottled it. Those stats are also incredible. Platini's 9 goals in 5 games at Euro 84 piss all over any tournament this gimp has ever had.

Yeah they're on the right side of history now, but it's pathetic how it took him turning against their club to actually see what a piece of garbage he is. And even then, some still defend him, like that crackpot SirAF who posts the number every time he scores ha. Before that they did try to...

Just noticed but special shout out to Venezuela for topping their group with maximum 9 points. They are traditionally a CONMEBOL whipping boy, but in recent years have made great strides and are now competitive. Only saw their game against Ecuador and they played well there. They can be proud...

I am not as tired tonight as I have been in the last 9-10 days, so might be able to stay up to watch USA-Uruguay.

No problem. Who was the third penalty? Slovenia 2024, Austria 2016. I normally have a pretty good memory but I can't think who it was for the fucking life of me. Need Don to come back in and tell us who it is.

Yeah I was really looking forward to it, but it hasn't been great. I say fair play though to teams like Slovenia and Romania for being solid defensively and been well-drilled. I don't have a problem with small teams playing low blocks against big teams though as they cannot really do anything...

Was it Iceland? For some reason I thought it was Austria. They were both in the Euro 2016 group and he missed against one of them.

I thought he played quite well. In this tournament he's been fairly solid and dependable. He's not a spectacular centre back or full back but he has looked good defensively and one of those steady players every team needs. However, I haven't watched La Liga for ages, so maybe he's been poor for...

He's aged better than Ronaldo, but tonight he was really exposed. He didn't cope well with those high balls that Slovenia looked to win second balls from. To be fair he is 41 and shouldn't be playing a grueling extra time period. He's generally been solid in the tournament, but that was a tired...

Monster mentality, never gives in, Greatest ever penalty taker, clinical, ruthless and whatever other meaningless buzzwords his crackpot fans assign to him. Austria, tonight, what was the other miss? I cannot remember...was it at Euro 2004?

I've never bought the lie he has an amazing mentality. He's been invisible in more big games than people will admit. Every time Portugal exit a tournament and every CL Final except 2017, for example. When people say 'amazing mentality', they generally mean being on the periphery of a game for...

He's average at best. And he's 25 so not even that young that you think he can iron out his rawness. Utterly hopeless if he doesn't have acres of space to run into. I have seen him score a few nice goals for Milan, but they all had one thing in common - he was able to run through the pitch and...

True haha. What an embarrassing set of freaks, them and him.

I don't like Onana either tbh. Either Amadou or Andre for that matter. Both average at best, and probably worse than that.

Which is ironic because he's ugly as fuck, looks like a serial killer, and there's loads of better looking footballers and male celebrities in general.

On a serious note, I don't know how anyone thinks he's a top five player of all time. Based on talent I wouldn't have him in the top 100 and I am being serious.

If the media was truly against him he'd be getting destroyed for tonight and this tournament in general. He's given them so much ammunition. But what's actually happening is they're indulging his selfishness and ego. The media are the ones who put him on a level and pedestal he doesn't belong...

Yeah another myth attached to the clown. Along with 'great leadership skills' and 'complete player'. He's the antithesis of a leader and his dribbling, passing and playmaking skills have never been anything above decent.

Also, doesn't he have the lowest shot conversion rate in Europe throughout most of his prime? yet people call him a clinical finisher.. He tended to score a lot because he took 10 shots per game. Not because he was ruthless.
