TRon

He's fucking minging.

Don't Portugal have any ohter strikers other than Ronaldo? He's only going to get slower the longer the game goes on. Does he have to stay on the pitch for icon value or something?

Ah ok you mean going to Saudi, thought you were talking about our Saudis.

Not sure why they took Vitinha off, he's been the best player on the pitch. Gassed maybe?

Based on what? Not our signings over the last couple of years anyway.

Think he's looked class personally.

It's better than going to the opera.

It's been a canny watch for a 0-0.

Loving it tbh. Absolutely spellbinding even if it's zero effective.

Scrappy goal but the build up was fantastic.

Another French shot blazed over the bar.

Well that's the point. It's only an option, he can always not go and carry on earning 60k to sit on the bench. I don't think anyone else is going to come in and pay him 200k.

What a pass from De Bruyne.

Just another weak finish in the end.

A few people talk about this like it's some sort of purgatory to be going to Saudi, but at worst it's an option he wouldn't have otherwise. Which other clubs are interested in paying him any sort of big money?

So couldn't even get excited at the prospect of getting a flying winger who's shone for England (when he gets given a few minutes). Their fans are the reason I hate Liverpool more than any other club in the country.

Is the general consensus that they think he'll improve their side?

Don't want him any more, that whole Italy side lacked pace, and he was no exception.

Just think the whole tournament has suffered lack of quality finishing. Even the dead balls have been poor.

Can't wait until we get in a new DOF, preferably one who looks less like a sneaky rodent.

Some wonderful play on the byline to set up the chance I was talking about above.

What an awful strike that was. Had all the time in the world to line it up and smacked it straight into the crowd.

That was always going to be an option in case we couldn't come to an agreement on a new contract. I don't think it was a case of change of plans.

Incredibly petty but I can't help but agree.

The game's being played at a good tempo, just not much quality when it gets to the final third.
