Fat Ronaldo breaking into a sweat just doing the pigeon dance for a few seconds.

I'd not even have recognised him from that clip - wow!

Interesting to see how he's still revered by Richarlison, it's like Ronaldo is the pope or a saint to him.

I mean - he was a beast. Put the fear into anyone who played against him.

Roy Keane also slammed them.
"It’s like watching Strictly"

Roy Keane slams Brazil’s ‘disrespectful’ goal celebrations against South Korea

Brazil scored four times in the first half in a scintillating display - but Keane was not impressed with how the Selecao celebrated their goals

www.independent.co.uk

It it did seem a little bit disrespectful. If I was Brazilian, I'd have probably enjoyed it though, lol.

It could be psychological intimidation, England are afraid to play them so make fun of them early in the tournament

Last night Jaap Stam said Ronaldo is the best player he ever played against

In terms of pure talent Messi and Ronaldo (CR7) can't hold a candle to Ronaldo (OG) and Ronaldinho unfortunately for them they enjoyed off feild activities too much to put dedicate themselves to football the way Messi and Ronaldo did.

Maybe a bit of that (especially from Cundy etc.) However, Keane being Irish never says much good about the English, lol.

I'd argue that Messi is more pure talent while CR7 is more hard work - and i believe Messi can hold a candle to Ronaldo (OG)

What about Ronaldinho?

 

[Hamster]

Ronaldo (OG)

Ronaldo (SP)

And unlike the SP, Ronaldo walked away from goals like a hero walking away from an explosion. Calm, collected, ready for more ****ery.

Morocco stats look great, only 1 goal conceded and it was an own goal, the only team unbeaten left in the tournament
They better beat Spain

Yes they look good so far

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

Yes they look good so far

They need a goal before the 45 min

 

[ScrooV]

Morocco not bad so far. They can win this.

 

[theratman]

Spain up to their usual death by a thousand passes kek. Zzzz.

 

[AfricanTech]

Looks like penalties.

Hope Morocco is better than Japan at them.

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

Spain like to play this type of football
Morocco not pushing hard enough

Don't know much about Cundy, but he does seem to be a bit of a twat.

Says: Wales had ‘shamed British football’ in Qatar as he labelled them as a ‘disgrace’, ‘pitiful’ and the ‘worst side at the 2022 World Cup’.

Wales 'shamed British football' at World Cup in Qatar, talkSPORT told

Jason Cundy declared Wales had ‘shamed British football’ in Qatar as he labelled them as a ‘disgrace’, ‘pitiful’ and the ‘worst side at the 2022 World Cup&…

Jason Cundy was a bang average player for Chelsea back in the day.

Morata has been rather wasteful, penalty miss is on the books if it goes to a shoot out
