With 1 minute to go and being 5-1 down in a knockout game, you can still bet on Switzerland to win the world cup at 1000-1.

Did you stick it on?

I mean, it's so clearly the correct call, but heckuva ballsy decision for all that.

Fernando Santos has effectively made himself a hostage to it. If it goes breasts skyward it doesn't take Nostradamus to foresee the headlines.

Bet he'll struggle to sleep tonight.

Portugal dropping Ronaldo and immediately becoming awesome is an A+++ outcome.

And likeable too. I'm really not used to this.

They will never be likeable, at least I hope not, because then my reason for supporting them is gone.

Hold on, I was told that ManU/Glazers were totally to blame and that Ronaldo was a hero for the cause

Seems like he’s just a ****

Dreadful first 90 but that extra time was fun

Think it was 2010 or 2014 where pretty much every knockout game was like this; unwatchable treacle for regular time and then complete chaos in extra time when everyone got tired and the games opened up.

QF's look really tasty barring Brazil-Croatia every game is tough to call even Croatia is not that simple they really bring their best at the World cup.

I hope everyone here gets on the Moroccan bandwagon. Broken windows for everyone!

Ronaldo benched

Read this as 'Ronaldo bhenchod' which is equally true

 

[BoyBrumby]

So obviously I had to Google what that meant.

& I could totally see it; diddling his sister is as close as he could get to screwing himself, which I've no doubt he'd be more than up for.

Ronaldo put on his best performance ever. To be fair he's better at feigning pleasure than Joan Collins.

Reading the word bhenchod always makes me giggle like the 7 year old I was when I discovered what it meant.
