So much salt.

This guy makes me sick to my stomach. If I was managing a club, I wouldn't even take him on a free transfer.

Pretty big coming from a guy called LeSalt on here hmm

Also this is another thing taken way out of proportion. This is something all big teams say when they don't win.

Former Plymouth Argyle, Rotherham United and Aberdeen defender Arnason has not taken Ronaldo’s condescension lightly. “He’s a fantastic footballer but he’s not a gracious human being,” responded the Malmo central defender, who enjoyed a commanding night against Portugal’s front line. “The thing is we almost nicked the win so him saying we weren’t going for the win contradicts that. We got a draw and could have nicked it.

“Obviously we’re not going to create as much chances as a fantastic team like Portugal but his comments are the reason why Messi is always going to be one step ahead of him. You wouldn’t expect Messi to say that. It shows we got under his skin. It was lovely to hear that.”

Ronaldo ended the game embroiled in an argument with the referee and, despite his reluctance to shake hands with Iceland’s players, did so with captain Aron Gunnarsson.

Arnason added: “It makes it even sweeter when he’s a sore loser like that. He can say whatever he wants. He didn’t really get a chance. He got one and he couldn’t put it away. What can I say? Sore loser. Tough shit. What does he expect - for us to play like Barcelona against him? He fannies about and dives around.”

I heard he even said that they "didn't give him may special attention" LMAO

Would love to see Ronaldo's reaction

That name was created by a hater who is only around when his team is winning :coffee:

We’d recommend Ronaldo take a long hard look at himself in the mirror if we didn’t know that he already spends several hours a day doing exactly that

complained a man who thinks the successful conversion of a penalty is ample reason to launch into a full Chippendales routine.

Savage.

There is no such thing as fair penalty

by CBarca Sat Jun 18, 2016 7:18 pm

Didn't see anything wrong with the penalty call.

Let's go Austria!!!

Alaba from LB for Byern to AM FOR Austria :bow:

that's better range than Dany day lewis

by S Sat Jun 18, 2016 7:28 pm

Alaba is a midfielder by trait

Buyern are wasting him imo.

Another pretty disappointing performance from Austria.
Hope they can get a little lucky this time though. Portugal really should be 1 or 2-0 up right now.

by RealGunner Sat Jun 18, 2016 8:50 pm

Austria aren't a great team though. Can't expect anything better. Their defence and GK look like a mess.

Portugal always break down in the final third. before that they are ok. They need a striker.

by Lucifer Sat Jun 18, 2016 8:52 pm

Highlight of the half was Kommander getting man marked by official

Austria had the 2nd best record in the qualifiers behind England. You would think they would show some of those performances on the big stage.

Their big players have been really poor especially Alaba who has looked totally out of sorts.

Robert Almer was 2nd GK at Hannover the season before he went to Austria Wien last season, so he is not really too convincing. Moreover, he ios not really a modern goalie and not really good with his feetl

The second option would be Ramazan "Rambo" Özcan of FC Ingolstadt, who is okay, but not extraordinary, too. I might have chosen him noneless, as he faces higher class opponents in the German Bundesliga weekly, other than Robert Almer in the Austrian Bundesliga.
