Very good goal. People are going way OTT about it though.Quote:

Not sure why anyone bothers paying much attention to Ronaldo. Everyone knows what he is very good at but personally I don't find him a particularly enjoyable player to watch, even not considering his preening and self-obsession.
I'd rather watch KDB. :shrug:
KDB isn't exactly an exciting player to watch, not to say he's not a very good player. Functional.Quote:

Gundogan at City is another I could watch for hours.
My problem with Messi is that he should’ve achieved more with Argentina imo
That and the fact all he does is Zigzag in straight lines constantly....big fkin deal.
And of course tee-ing it up with your chest is a piece 'o p1ss now ain't it you cantankerous old soak.Quote:

Functional is more than a little harsh.Quote:

He's Belgian mate. You don't want to encourage them. They might breed.Quote:

Well, yes....goes without saying. Was the only thing in recent years that peaked my interest in the National side. I will of course watch the WC, but shall be keenly listening to his insight on the wirelessQuote:
