The Official World Cup 2018 Megathread

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's been shite on free kicks for 3-4 years and then he pulls that out :icon_lol:

 

[SLB]

Best player in the world. Ever.

 

[jdrodrigues]

What a goal

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Cyber smug grin 3 3

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's only one game, and against a class midfield like Spain.

Bet you he doesn't look any better against Morocco and Iran.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

He is so good. I knew that is was in as soon as they got a FK in that area.

 

[Jinky]

Credit where it’s due - that’s fantastic from Ron.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

He's been shite on free kicks for 3-4 years and then he pulls that out :icon_lol:

I was expecting him to rattle it into the wall.

Best player in the world. Ever.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Couldn't see how he got that in from there - until you see it from the goal line - stupendous

He's a smug git, but that was quite good

 

[The Bear]

Best player in the world. Ever.

Lionel - Hello? Is it me you're looking for...

 

[White Wolf]

Didn't have the time to get a bet on him to score before he did.

 

[Nando]

Can't remember the last time he scored a free kick. That's a ludicrously good hit.

 

[The Bear]

Bet you he doesn't look any better against Morocco and Iran.

You might be right. I'm just suggesting he shouldn't be judged against this opposition.

 

[Tredman]

Lionel - Hello? Is it me you're looking for...

It’s fairly obvious which one is more successful internationally.. and in champions leagues..

 

[SLB]

I was expecting him to rattle it into the wall.

He wish.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Come on Portugal!!! Queresma so close there!

 

[jdrodrigues]

SLB/J-Rod - Is there a lot of ill feeling between Spanish and Portugese fans? I honestly don't know or have been oblivious to any real hatred so apologies if it's a dumb question.

It's like England playing Scotland in terms of geography so there must be some.

IMHO, there is. Throughout our history, Spain tried to conquer us multiple times, failing everytime except on a sucession issue after our King was a moron and got himself killed in Africa.

Nowadays, our rivalry is limited to these games. We hate their guts.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

I didn't want that game to end and it's a long time since I've said that about an international match.

 

[Tredman]

Great game. Enjoyed that a lot.

 

[Jolemai]

Silva have time to do anything of note?
