    Why does everyone hate Ronaldo??

    He's absolute class

    C.Ronaldo: "They (#isl) celebrated like they had won the Euro cup or something. That's a small mentality. That's why they'll do nothing."

    Wanker. That's a country of 300,000 people he's talking about.
    No one ever question Ronaldo's "I take all the free kicks" tactic.
    I know he is good and may as good as Ronaldo thinks Ronaldo is but I can remember the tactic the last WC or EC. It don't work.
    He has taken 34 free kicks in World Cup & Euro finals and scored a big fat zero.

    We bought tickets off a tout outside before the game last night, the name on them read "Icelandic FA" and turned out we were in the middle of the Iceland end - they all seem to be nutters, but great fun! Amazing when they scored.

    I am seriously envious. That's what it is about.

    For those who don't think Ronaldo is a helmet by now his comments about the Iceland players reaction should confirm it. Sheer arrogance from a player who has won as many euro championships as Iceland.

    What was the chant with the claps? Sounded great on TV.

    Great great article on Ronaldo and Iceland. Not too long, delivered with the same cold-eyed precision with which Iceland and JBG created their goal.

    "He fannies about and dives around.”

    Hahaha!! Did he really say fannies about? Funny.

    That picture of Ronaldo posting with the Portugese president really irritated me also.

    Should add that Gunnarson, Sigurosson, and Halldorsson were all absolutely immense yesterday. Gunnarson always looked quality for Cardiff whenever I saw him play, but he seems to have been out of favor for quite some time now.

    I bought myself an Iceland shirt a couple weeks back, and wore it yesterday around Eugene, Oregon with pride.

    When the cameras panned down the line, just the one Russian player was caught not singing their National Anthem. I fear for him.

    Come on Slovakia. I want as much goading from the fans as possible. Get in the Russians faces. Call them out and wait for response. Maybe even insinuate Putin's sexual preferences.

    A great pass and finish, although the two Russian central defenders put me in mind of Roger Johnson and Rhys Williams

    A Russia win was the worst result from this one so I'm quite pleased with that.
  • Watching it really does make you wonder why on earth Vardy didn't get at least 30mins against this Russian side.

    Hamsik has secured himself a nice move to the Premier league here. Been absolutely unreal.

    Maybe we were being too positive with our performance.

    How did we not beat this dire Russian team.
