Group B - Portugal, Spain, Morocco, Iran

[Furball]

A better World Cup showing here then Messi and I believe Ronaldo will take the crown of the best player of this generation.That seemed impossible just couple of years back

No.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Watched the game as live after got back from bowls last night. Woke kids and wife up shouting when the free kick went in. Amazing player.

 

[Xuhaib]

No.

Yes.
CR7 individual and team achievements tower over Messi for good 3-4 year now

 

[Uppercut]

Didn't take Ronaldo long then.

Power headers are the most underrated type of goal.

Just a machine.

Would find it hard to disagree with this. Man is an absolute machine.

 

[Uppercut]

Ideally we wouldn't have this conversation every time one of them does something good. But if people are going to insist on talking bollocks about it I feel compelled to point out that Messi at his peak was far, far, far better.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Morocco have been pretty damn unlucky. Just needed to be a bit less wasteful and they'd have won this game comfortably.

 

[Johnners]

Struggling to think of a less likeable player in the tournament than Pepe.

 

[BoyBrumby]

At least they'll get the coveted "first team home" blazers and ties.

I still don't get how they aren't completely embarrassed by their pathetic dives


Portugal looked pretty crap that game

Sergio Ramos must run him close. Pepe is comically filthy, but Ramos is a sneaky, snide fecker. I think it was Barney Ronay who called him "the epitome of white shirted bastardry".

Didn’t Egypt and Saudi Arabia beat them to it?

 

[straw man]

Spain you lucky bastards. A crap goal and Iran should have scored the equalizer.

Portugal conceding their first goal v Spain while he rolled around near a player he could have easily gotten up and put pressure on was hilarious.

 

[Johnners]

Didn’t Egypt and Saudi Arabia beat them to it?

Until the Uruguay/Saudi Arabia game, either team could still have mathematically made it with a SA win, and a Russian win over Uruguay.

 

[Pratters]

Portugal v Iran should be a cracker.

 

[sledger]

Said nobody ever

 

[flibbertyjibber]

In fairness Iran have probably been the biggest surprise so far as they have a tough group and look a decent side. Had the draw been kinder they may have qualified, who knows they may shock Portugal but I doubt it.
