never a PK, baffling that VAR wasn't used (and if it was used and it confirm the call, taxi for everyone)

[caravanc58]

great game so far, Spain v Portugal

[TheJacko2000]

Manufactured contact for the penalty. Where's VAR? Fantastic equaliser by Costa.

[gavinrussell]

20,000 passes and still losing...🤣..Murphy is crest fallen..Lineaker will be apoplectic...

[east-stand-nick]

Is there a luckier team in international football than Portugal?

[elmo_in_swansea]

the trouble as I see it for the negative games so far is that in the first round of group games defeat almost means elimination, therefore I guess most teams try not to lose their opener hence the stalemate

[divinewind]

Great first half.

[caravanc58]

what a hit

[Scooby Doo]

what a hit

Brilliant. Top goal, top game.

[east-stand-nick]

Great game. And I've pleased that the VAR hasn't been overused. It became a farce in the FA Cup.

Caught the highlights   of todays earlier games before the kick off of the Portugal-Spain game

God, who was that female commentator on one of them? I'm glad I didn't have to sit through a whole match of that whine. And the other match commentator was Jonathon Pearce, who was my least favourite until I heard her

It was on ITV so we didn't have a female commentator.

Cannot stand the smug tosser but what a goal from Ronaldo. What a game.

[TheJacko2000]

If he didn't dive so much he'd be up there with the real greats. Messi, Pele etc.

Cannot stand the smug tosser but what a goal from Ronaldo. What a game.

As the team went to leave the hotel today on the coach there was a young boy outside the hotel. When he was told Ronaldo was already on the bus he broke down in tears. Out came Ronaldo who shook his hand and had his photo taken.

Karma that is of the finest kind.

Yes he is a tool but he also has some great gestures in him.

[Barrington]

Brilliant game. Could only have been made a bit better if someone had scored a winner in the last few seconds.

Some fantastic goals and quality football being played.

[costa blanca baggie]

I’ll never understand why defenders do what Pique did. Spain were doing a fantastic job of keepball.

[AlbionBest]

Great game and now the World Cup comes to life !

I didn't see the earlier matches live, but on BBC they showed the 30 seconds or so of so called highlights before the Portugal -Spain game, and there was a female commentator with a really irritating whiney voice

To me,Ronaldo is the greatest player since Pele.
A player who makes things happen and gets you off your seat,absolutely brilliant.

[TheJacko2000]

He's not even the best player in La Liga.

He's a dirty diving cheat! Who only gets me off my seat swearing at the TV!

He has been the worlds best for years. Messi is so technically gifted, but Ronaldo is the complete footballer, equally gifted but strong, powerful, great on the floor and in the air, and can lift a team on his own.
Up in the morning and have a look at France.

[caravanc58]

I admire [Ronaldo], if I had to set up a national team he would be my
first pick."
—Pelé,

Ronaldo is better than George Best and Denis Law, who were two brilliant and great players in the history of United."
—Dutch player Johan Cruyff on the 23-year-old Ronaldo,

Ronaldo has a record-tying five Ballon d'Or awards,the most for a European player, and is the first player to win four European Golden Shoes. He has won 26 trophies in his career, including five league titles, five UEFA Champions League titles and one UEFA European Championship. A prolific goalscorer, Ronaldo holds the records for most official goals scored in Europe's top-five leagues (395), the UEFA Champions League (120), the UEFA European Championship (9), as well as those for most assists in the UEFA Champions League (34) and the UEFA European Championship (6). He has scored over 670 senior career goals for club and country.

at what point of his career do you admit he's one the greats jacko.😈

[liverbaggie]

Hey Jacko & 59,are you serious,I thought you knew something about football,obviously I was wrong.
Who ranks above Ronaldo  apart from Pele in your opinions?

Maradonna, Messi, Best Eusabio Cruyff all stayed on their  feet Ronaldo is a digrace he dives waves imaginary cards and winks! And yes I do know something about football thank you very much.
