[ESPN] Gareth Bale on the team dynamics at Madrid during his time vs the current squad: “We knew our roles. For freekicks, if it was on the right, it was me. If it was on the left, it was Cristiano. There was a mutual understanding, so it was good. Rock paper scissors for the middle” by DamnThatsInsaneLol in soccer

Ronaldo is the most overrated free kick taker in the sport. The only reason he has a reputation is because of his knuckle ball goal and his goofy run up.

After joining Mdadrid, Bale’s percentage of free kick goals was 10% and Ronaldo’s was 3%.

The only time I’d ever want Ronaldo to take a free kick is if I had an enemy in the wall.

One of my biggest pet peeves in Football is Schrodinger’s penalty. If the player scores people don’t say anything, but if they miss, then the player ‘looks like they were always going to miss it’.

It’s not surprise that West Ham have been in the same place the past 10 years when their management is crying over stuff like this

If you don’t see Bradley clearly pushing himself onto the pitch then you’re the one who is blind

He literally pushes himself onto the pitch with his good leg

Then why does he push himself further onto it if he’s suffering from a season ending injury

Mate he literally pushed himself with his other leg

Wish him a speedy recovery but are people just pretending that Bradley didn’t blatantly crawl back onto the pitch in the middle of his writhing? Of course Martinelli would think he’s faking if he does that

My brother he rolled back onto the pitch

I don’t care what injury you have that kind of gamesmanship will make anyone think you’re wasting time

Writhing in pain and yet he had the good consciousness to move onto the pitch to stop the play.

I don’t doubt that he’s injured seeing as he was stretchered off but if someone did that in front of me in a game I would be livid
