in major international tournaments - Over 50 direct shots from a free kick and only 1 goal

Are you sure that’s correct?



Only 50??

He's had at least three in this game.

Lot of smoke on the field? I haven't been listening to the commentary so I'm assuming that's coming out of Ronaldo's ears?

4th (I may have missed one earlier). Just such a waste of an opportunity each time.

Ronaldo was in the team against Georgia, Portugal basically put out their B team for that match so I thought he might be on the bench for this. But no he's there in all his ridiculousness. I'm watching bits, still emotionally drained after the England match...

He runs that team, and he won't sit on the bench because he's aiming to set a record for most caps. 
Probably also why he's so desperate to score as well. Not for his team but to set some other record.

He's certainly playing, well, as you describe.

Why all the hatred for Ronaldo?  He works hard for the team and is still a capable footballer. He wants the team to win and is not afraid of missing the target with that aim in mind.

The ego has taken over by a big margin

That save was EPIC.

Loving Ronaldo in tears too.

Would be both interesting and a surprise if someone else did take a free kick - Might surprise the opposition and certainly less 
predictable

He doesn't track back and he misses penalties.

He's not Messi. 
He's basically Nani 2.0.

so does ronaldo take another one?
Id say no. He is likely to fluff it.
Hope slov go through

LionAquaLooper

He's crying again. FFS. 

BigBearKris

Have you seen the "Misstiano Penaldo" caption on bbc replay of the pen? Haha

At that penalty time toss if I was Oblak I’d have made a big point of wishing CR7 all the best etc with hand shake and hugs - Let him know u r there
