Hat-trick in your first ever start? In the last 16 of the WC? Go on, then.

 

[Vorastra]

No, Ronaldo please. Sit down.

 

[purple face]

did Ronaldo get that goal?

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

This is the first WC in a long time the teams are all peaking at the right time

 

[Pak Fa Fui]

This Leao kid is good

Spain are the least likely to be stunned.

This didn't age well.

This didn't age well.

KOs stay delivering

Well ja anyway, that was completely wrong.

So Ro16

Netherlands v USA
Argentina v Australia
__ = Netherlands v Argentina = Argentina?

Japan v Croatia
South Korea v Brazil
__ = Croatia v Brazil = Croatia?

England v Senegal
France v Poland
__ = England v France = France?

Morocco v Spain
Portugal v Switzerland
__ = Spain v Portugal = Spain?


So potentially

Argentina vs Croatia
France vs Spain
__ = Argentina v France

Messi wins World Cup!

So a minor adjustment needed

Netherlands v Argentina = Argentina?
Croatia v Brazil = Croatia?
England v France = France?
Morocco v Portugal = Morocco?

Final

Argentina v France

Messi wins World Cup!

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

His size and speed coupled with ability to score with power on both left and right foot

Are the crowds calling for Ronaldo

Off course the Portuguese fans would. He remains Portugal all time top scorer and the captain who won their only mayor title. It will take a lot more for them to turn on him.

Seems as though Ronaldo is the weak link in the team.

They just want to party. The Karen nanny state Hollanders should stop trying to spoil their fun then there won't be any issues.

Well done Morocco, what an upset.
As for Portugal, I somewhat expected that result but not by such a big margin. Swiss were disappointing.

Finished at the top level - actively tarnishing his legacy - just retire already.

Rewatching some of these goals, wow. What a beast. I like Brazil's style of play and wont mind them winning. I just despise Neymar. Put him in this video and it would have been 2 Goals. As he would go down the other 28 times and claim penalty instead of pushing through.

Unironically

Why when he can go to Saudi Arabia and play into obscurity for $432 million.
