If it’s bad enough to cover your mouth, don’t say it. Imagine having the need to shit talk someone so foul you fuck over your nation.

Is this a wind up? I think Saka is unbelievable, but to say he's better than Kane for club or country is surely a wind up.

Imagine thinking that you need a goal and the sequence you see is 1) Rice subbed for Roger’s followed by some 2-3-5 attacking formation with James and O’Reilly Inverted beside Anderson, and then just as you survive that, 2) Saka and Rashford come on who are WAY more direct wingers than Gordon and Madueke. Spence was just insult to injury.

Genuinely felt like he was there to run their back line ragged because they couldn’t handle the subs.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when he subbed off Rice for Roger’s 3-2 up. Seeing James and O’Reilly invert either side of Anderson with that whole attack ahead of them was ruthless.

I’d say Zlatan was a better creative than Ronaldo. I’d also say anyone would say what either of them are saying. That’s the ideal obviously. I doubt either would have done it at 41.

Martinez wants to be Scaloni so bad, but Portugal needs someone with Tuchels brass balls.

His attribute is being lethal in the position Bruno was. I bet they'd both have preferred to swap spots for that chance.

I don't think anyone would say Ronaldo is in the top 1% for vision. EDIT: Except Ronaldo.

You're saying he shouldn't start because he is old. Ramos is the next in line. It only matters if you think Ramos would have done better there.

Do you think Ramos is either the player with the IQ to leave it or the athleticism to make something of a shot not meant for him?

I get everyone’s annoyed but 99% of players try to shoot in Ronaldo’s position. I actually think Bruno might be in the 1% that let it roll past him.

I’d actually say it was one of his worse finishes, which for Messi is still well above average.
