I am CRISTIANO RONALDO

[GroobySteven]

Alright, look. Penalties are in large part, based on luck. You can be a good penalty taker, but luck play a role. Now if Ronaldo takes an early penalty, THERE'S NO GUARANTEE HE SCORES IT. So it's useless being upset at him. I think most people are only upset they didn't get to see him miss a kick. No if you don't like him coz his vainglorious, that fine. Hell, I don't blame you. He's tall, has the body of adonis, extremely wealthy, he's the kind of guy that really easy to hate. I'm fine with that, what's not fine hi blaming him for losing that match, or choosing to take his penalty last. There's nothing wrong with that. It simply makes no sense.

It makes NO SENSE not to have your best penalty takers go first.

That's where I'll respectfully disagree. Your best penalty kicker is the perfect candidate to take the pressure filled last kick.

Apparently the manager's decision:

Ok so Bento/Ronaldo achieved perfection - there you go... and so did Portugal.

The pressure-filled last kick could be before the fifth kick or any of the kicks after the fifth (if scores tied) when it becomes sudden-death.

Whomever's fault it was it was a bad decision. Get your goals in. The mix up over who took the third penalty was very poor also.

is this CRISTIANO guy the dude dating Irina Shayk? She is fucking hot.

[SFlare]

I agree, the mix up didn't help. I just don't think the blame on Ronaldo was fair. And honestly, penalty kicks are a game of luck and inches. A few inches lower and Alves' scores his penalty. A few inches to the right, Fabrigas' kick is saved. Ronaldo steps up, and who knows that happens. It's far too easy, and useless to point fingers after penalty kicks. Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

[SFlare]

That's correct. While I'm wasting my time defending his ass, he's probably boning Irina in his luxury yacht. Lol.

it's soccer, what else would the score be?!

Correction: F O O T B A L L
