Portugal v Spain, 19:00 BST BBC

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A big one early on.

Will Portugal actually win a game in the group stage this time?

Will Spain be in disarray or somehow get it together like Italy in 1982 and 2006?

Monreal to lead Spain to glory tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

Portugal. :lol:

They used up all their luck 2 years ago, they’ve got no chance in hell now.

[Master Splinter]

Spain going for the 95% possession record. Portugal to do them on one of their two counter-attacks?

A massive cuntfest of course.

Hoping for the obligatory 5-5 with 7 pels, 8 red cards and a meteor shower.

Oh I just remembered Spain are my boys. Do we win anything if one of our teams win?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Cesc & Rio in the studio together.

I vividly remember a game against Utd where Cesc explicitly told Rio to fuck off after he scored. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Spain could do with Frankcesc Lampregas up front rather than fat fuck Costa.

[Globalgunner]

Pepe and Ramos to run into each other and knock themselves the fk out

Costa and Ronnie to do likewise. Kiluea to sent over some lava and take those 4 away

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Arsenal transfer legend William Carvalho starting :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spanish players couldn't be arsed singing to the national anthem!

:Tyldesley:

[Globalgunner]

Arsenal transfer legend William Carvalho starting :bow:

Hes been the next Vieira since the real one stopped playing

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal attacking down the left side already; time for Monreal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel to Portugal!

Ronaldo dive already.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He dives in to him! Prick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea psyching him out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal 1-0 Spain, Penaldo.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

PELANTTY FOR RONALDO!!

[Globalgunner]

Ronnie at it again. Scores

Penaldo!!!!!!!

[Cripps]

GOAT :bow:

[Özim]

Cool as you like from the worlds' best footballer. 1-0

[Marc Overmars]

Penaldoooooo!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

:haha::haha:


I'm watching the BBC live stream and I'm still behind. :lol:

[Goonermerree]

That was surely a dive?

[Goonermerree]

:haha::haha:


I'm watching the BBC live stream and I'm still behind. :lol:

I'm watching on telly and I'm still behind.

[Globalgunner]

Why are defenders such suckers. Kick the prick, before he gets into the box

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Serves Spain right for not calling up Bellerin. He wouldn't have made that mistake. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva belts it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Criminal from Ronaldo, though I guess he knows all about that...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lumping it in to David Silva. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Iniesta, David Silva shot deflects behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er what was Ronaldo's pass all about? :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Guedes pubbing it up again.

[Globalgunner]

Playing Iniesta and David Silva is not ideal. One or the other makes more sense .

Portugal screwing up opportunities

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal 1-1 Spain, DIEGO COSTA!!!

That was briliant.

[Globalgunner]

That was brilliant from Costa

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS the caveman equalises

[Özim]

Conte :haha:

[Cripps]

What's the point in having VAR if you don't use it to look back and stop goals where fouls have been committed? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fucking hell Isco, what a strike. Unlucky.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Customary,

Morata :haha::haha:

[Özim]

What's the point in having VAR if you don't use it to look back and stop goals where fouls have been committed? :lol:

I think they do use it for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Spain, dangerous area.

Fernandes booked.

[Globalgunner]

Every tackle isnt a foul dumb ref

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva hits the wall.

[Master Splinter]

Portugal should have been 2-0 up, but Spain are killing them at the moment.

[Goonermerree]

Spain playing some lovely football at the moment.

[Cripps]

Goonersweb:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Ronaldo, De Gea just chucked it in. :haha:

OMG. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

De Gea :haha: :haha:.

[Marc Overmars]

Ronaldo!!

De Gea :haha:

[Özim]

Ronaldo 2 Spain 1

[Master Splinter]

Why can't he ever do that for his club?

[Özim]

2-1 Ronaldo, De Gea just chucked it in. :haha:

Concussion apparently

[Goonermerree]

De Gea having a Rob Green moment.

[Özim]

Great World Cup so far, really enjoying the games.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

FFS that's De Gea's one fuck up every decade gone then. He's going to have another error-free season for Utd next year.

[Master Splinter]

That's the best I've seen Ronaldo play in a long time.

He scores shitloads every week but his all-round game today has been brilliant.

If he and Messi keep themselves fit, they'll still be the most productive players in the world in five years time. It's very much like Federer and Nadal. Now that players can extend their careers beyond what was the accepted norm, age becomes completely irrelevant.

[Master Splinter]

FFS that's De Gea's one fuck up every decade gone then. He's going to have another error-free season for Utd next year.

He's had a few poor games for Spain.

Time for Reina.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal 2-2 Spain, DIEGO COSTA!!!!

[Master Splinter]

2-2. Costa again.

The 5-5 is on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goal from a hoof up field and a freekick.

What a pub team Spain are.

[Globalgunner]

To think Chelsea sold this 30 goal a season bulldog. Loathe him or hate him. He scores goals.
Theyd be in CL now


3-0 Wow

[Master Splinter]

NACHO!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal 2-3 Spain, NACHOOOOO!!! WHAT A STRIKE!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Conaldo.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Penaldo :haha::haha:


Spain :bow:

Always kept the faith

[Master Splinter]

To think Chelsea sold this 30 goal a season bulldog. Loathe him or hate him. He scores goals.
Theyd be in CL now



The most he ever scored for Chelsea was 22.

He's only ever scored more than 30 once.

[Master Splinter]

Penaldo :haha::haha:


Spain :bow:

Always kept the faith

My boys :bow:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isco. :cloud9:

[Globalgunner]

The most he ever scored for Chelsea was 22.

He's only ever scored more than 30 once.

Thats twice as many as Morata then

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a pass from Segrio Ramos. :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandes off, Joao Mario on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

B. Silva off, Old Man Quaresma on! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iniesta off, Thiago on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scuffer from Costa.

Brilliant play though.

[Master Splinter]

Costa :lol:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Quaresma seems to have removed that ridiculous teardrop tattoo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He unmurdered someone. Maybe his career.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa off, Aspas on. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea nearly fucked it again!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aspas with the scuffer.

Stunning build up though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva off, Lucas on.

Monreal woz robbed.

[Master Splinter]

No Monreal.

Hierro :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Portugal.

[Master Splinter]

Just aim it at De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal 3-3 Spain, Ronaldo hat-trick. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Or do that.

[Cripps]

Goonersweb :haha: :haha:

[Cripps]

Messi :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal wishing death on Hierro.

[Globalgunner]

Messi :haha:

Is he playing?

[Marc Overmars]

Ronaldo :bow:

What a fucking boss.

[Goonermerree]

What a free kick, can't argue with that.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Always rated Penaldo tbh

[Master Splinter]

It's hard for you to find words because you're a thick bastard, Danny.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Portugal 3-3 Spain, FT! What a match.

Iran top the group. :bow:

[Globalgunner]

Ronnie stepped up today. No arguments

Iran lead the group

[Master Splinter]

Iran :bow:.

De Gea :haha: :haha:.

[Master Splinter]

Golovin's was better.

[Cripps]

So Ronaldo steps up as usual and steals the show

There is no debate to be had. The greatest of the greatest of the greatest of all time

Big Ron :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four games and counting Ronaldo can't inspire a win in the group stage. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Isco is different class.

[Letters]

So. One dive. One goal keeper fumble. One good goal.
And the usual idiots are creaming themselves.

Meh.

[Marc Overmars]

So much butt hurt. He’s one of the greats man, let it go.

[Letters]

Not disputing that. Still a cock though. Those two things are not mutually exclusive :)

[Marc Overmars]

He is a cock but to cry about it whenever he hits he headlines? :lol:

Butt. Hurt.

[Letters]

Crying? :lol:

[Özim]

MO is spot on, people just seem to be jealous of him, arguably the greatest player of all time, produces the seemingly impossible time after time, at every level he plays at, brilliant performance last night and that free was unbelievable, the penalty again a lot of pressure on those and he never to put them away.

Great player, people should just get over themselves and praise him for what he is, an all time great and the best player in the world at the moment (even at the age of 33).

Portugal without him would have no chance of winning anything, but with him you never know, they won the Euros, yes he's very confident/arrogant at time, but having watched so many arrogant players who don't deliver and seeing this guy who does time and time again, do you know what, when you're that good you've got to expect someone to have that inner belief/borderline arrogance that's part of what make them so good!

All the best footballers are arrogant, maybe not as outwardly as he is, but they are. You talk about what some managers have done for football, but look at what this guy has done for football, taken it to a whole new level and insprired a generation to try and be as good as him!

Would have loved to have been lucky enough to have seen him at Arsenal, sadly it wasn't to be, Man U fans got that privilege instead, but I guess we got 2nd prize (or 4th), we almost signed him :lol:

[Cripps]

If he'd have played under Wenger he'd have been a shade of the player he was and sold anyway :lol:

Bet he counts his lucky stars he avoided Wenger :lol:

[Özim]

If he'd have played under Wenger he'd have been a shade of the player he was and sold anyway :lol:

Bet he counts his lucky stars he avoided Wenger :lol:

Very true, Ferguson saved his career! :lol:

[Letters]

MO is spot on, people just seem to be jealous of him

No, people just think he's a cunt.
Mostly because he's a cunt.

I don't think anyone disputes he's one of the GOAT.

[GP]

No, people just think he's a cunt.
Mostly because he's a cunt.

I don't think anyone disputes he's one of the GOAT.

Top 10 for sure.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

He's one of the best but also, surely, definitely, without doubt a cunt....if anybody can't see that, they should get over themselves.

[Niall_Quinn]

Penaldo is, of course, a diving cunt. A despicable piece of sub-human refuse. He's a dramatically gifted footballer too. But that will always be overridden by the disgrace he bings to the game. The ultimate scum. Ramos is the second worst scumbag in football, but not even close to the main man.

6 seconds of entertainment. The rest was a total bore. How dire is that Spanish tip tap nonsense? And can Portugal beat their own record for dives in 90 minutes? The pinnacle of football indeed.
