But Bale isn't massively greedy to the detriment of his team, Ronaldo is at times. He took ten shots yesterday nearly all of them in poor positions and only one on target. About four of those were free kicks where he could have got the ball in the box instead

Aye, its such a like for like swap and all

If they get far enough this France is probably better suited to playing on the counter against better teams so I wouldn't rule them out based on struggling against smaller teams

Pogba and Griezmann have been the difference since coming on

Think he was resting them

Gignac's touch there

They have nobody who wants to pass the ball so their only chance of scoring are long shots and crosses

France's team really isn't suited to controlling possession

You need someone in midfield who is patient and can pass a ball well when playing against teams like these which France don't have

Martial is generally class like

Nah it's not in the stadium

Good refereeing

I trust you don't think Messi is a "legend" either then. He can't even get a good team (Argentina) to a trophy, never mind shite like Portugal Portugal aren't shite. Messi's been better than Ronaldo in international tournaments. Portugal might be better if Ronaldo didn't take 18 shots a game from ridiculous angles Compared to Argentina they are. Quality all over the pitch is way superior Argentina are nothing special at the back or central midfield bar Mascherano. Pepe would be their best defender.

I think individually most of the games themselves have been pretty decent but as a whole not much exciting happening. Going back to the previous conversation about no teams setting out to attack I think people underestimate how difficult it is to attack when the opposition has 11 extremely disciplined skillful footballers behind the ball. I think we'll see plenty of attacking football once we get to the latter stages and the smaller teams are knocked out

Aye "that's why they'll do nothing" ffs

There was nowhere near 30000 Iceland fans there, still a massive proportion of the population though

Ronaldo has been awful at free kicks for about 5 years

Awful decision there

Ronaldo takes so many shots he's bound to score loads

Awful by Vierinha

Gerrin

Much worse players than Nani have scored in this tournament

Very nice build up to that goal

Mitro style shot attempt from Ronaldo there
