Portugal/Ghana is going to be some game now..

But will Germany and USA play out a draw?..Germans would still be guaranteed to top the group.

I legitimately hate Cristiano Ronaldo with every fiber of my being. He was terrible the entire game. Fucking ****. Fuck Ronaldo. Fuck him. I hate him. I hope he fucking injures himself for the rest of his career. ****.

Even if USA lose to Germany, Portugal would have to put 3/4 goals past Ghana which can't see happening. Germany and USA basically through, just a fight to see who tops group

I want USA to go through but it's funny seeing them fuck up. The same kind of humour you get from watching an eager child fall flat on its face. They're so naive they don't see it coming.

Why doesn't Ronaldo celebrate the goal. He's an incredible player, but why is he such a ****?

In all honesty, I'm just happy Ronaldo didn't score the winning goal as otherwise I would've looked like an absolute **** myself.

I mean, a few hours before it emerged Moyes was going to be sacked, I said they wouldn't sack him.

So me looking stupid would not have surprised me at all.

Belgium has won their first two games. They have elite talent and are going to be incredibly difficult to break down defensively. They are a far more talented team than Ghana or this completely depleted Portgual squad.

No one ever looks good against Russia, as Capello sets them up to be ultra defensive. Belgium showed in both of their matches when they want to turn up the pressure, they are fantastic. In the knockout stages, they'll be pushing the pace heavily and would comfortably beat whoever comes out of this group with the exception of the Germans.

What on earth are you talking about?

They do have elite talent but they don't have an elite team - and there is a world of difference. Yes they can up the tempo but its not the norm for their play...its actually done quite sparingly.

To say they would beat Ghana, Portugal or the USA comfortably is rubbish with all due respect. Have you been watching these games at all?

So awesome to see so many people in Chicago getting into the WC.

If Ghana plays with the pace and tempo they did yesterday, they should beat Portugal. Ronaldo just isn't fit and there isn't another high level talent in their squad with Pepe/Coentrao out besides Moutinho.

They are laughing at phil Neville there in the studio and he knows it. What a dumb comment, so much you could say after a strike like that & he comments on the keeper.

He's clearly injured and hasn't played well but why bring this up now? It's not true.

Or is he the scapegoat?

It's totally true.

CL Final that United lost to Barca, not the one in Wembley.
CL Final v Chelsea, he scored but did fuck all else.
CL Final this season, scored a pen when the game was done with, barely involved at all apart from that.
Semi final of CL vs Ac Milan. Kaka showed him how to win a semi final on your own, Ronaldo was barely involved.
World Cup 2010, don't even remember him doing anything if note, were Portugal even in it?!

They're just ones I can think of off the top of my head.

He scored a hatrick in the play off to get to Brazil, but that was when it was him vs Zlatan. It wasn't about Portugal. It was about Ronaldo. It's always about Ronaldo.

He's a great player, one of the best ever and he is better than. Messi this season, but Messi has scored in Champions League finals when it mattered, scored hatricks vs Real Madrid and he's scored two sensational goals so far in this World Cup.
