Ronaldo on Iceland...... "Wahhh wahhh wahhh! Wahhh wahhh It's not fair! Wahh wahh wahh! They should have just rolled over and let us win! Wah wahh wahh! I played like cack again but it's all Icelands fault! Wahh wahh wahh! How dare they defend! Wahh wahh wahh! I'm taking my ball and going home! I hate you all!" (Obviously I was paraphrasing a bit) Strangely he didn't mention the fact that Portugal were shocking in defence and have a fair few bang average players. How Pepe has the honours he has beggars belief. He is an abysmal defender, a complete scumbag as a player and was lucky not to be sent off last night.
His majesty did seem rather upset that those heathen wouldn' t just bend over and take it, didn't he?
I have no idea what words he said to the referee or even what language they were in. However, the gist was very clear - "I blame you!" What a scumbag!
When asked about Ronaldo's comment that Iceland had a small mentality, Gylfi Sigurðsson said, 'Better to have a small mentality than to be a gigantic twat.' I'm also paraphrasing a bit.
...only because he's too much of a gentleman to call him for what he is. It's just a shame Iceland couldn't manage a winner.
Any CR7 hubris come crashing down by the end of the group stage, though not essential, would be advantageous.
Russia 2-0 down to Slovakia at half-time (I'm working.... honest!). Wales > Slovakia ...... Slovakia > Russia ...... Russia = England ...... England ??? Wales! Could be interesting though. If Russian fans do kick off in the stadium and get thrown out, are all their fixtures null and void or would it just be Wales who benefit (basically handed a win for the last game)? If so, then tomorrows game could be pretty much a dead rubber for them as they would have 6pts and would be through regardless. Would annoy Slovakia if they do win this game and it is then voided if Russia are given the boot.
It means Woy better assume that both Wales and Slovakia are going to give England much more of a game than Russia did.
Worried if the Russians lose this and the fans decide they are going home anyway so they've nothing left to lose. Perhaps the only thing they can then "achieve" is to try and get England thrown out too?
Don't worry, we've got Sterling, the 16th most valuable player on the planet. And believe me I hope I'm wrong about how **** he is - I'm not one to hope that England do badly in order to be proved right!
Russia's fans let off a flare after they scored, so they should be kicked out anyway. Won't happen, but I'll be surprised if they manage to make it through the rest of the group without more violence. Makes awarding them the next major tournament even more ridiculous.
Lovely hit for the equaliser for the Swiss. Crisp. No idea why they've persisted with Seferovic over Embolo, though. Not impressed at all.
Been getting a reminder why seeing Chiriches' name on the teamsheet was something to dread, that's for sure...
On the face of it, England have their work cut out for them, considering they haven't scored a goal from open play yet. On the other hand, a win against Slovakia and they're through, and England have a history of scraping through qualifying rounds in major tournaments by the skin of their teeth. They'll be fine if Hodgson lets Alli play near Kane and gets someone other than Kane to take free kicks. But what are the chances of that?
Woy thinks Sterling had a good game against Russia and that Harry didn't look jaded....... Parallel Universe Alert!! Suppose he has to be defensive around his squad, but
