Ronaldo could of sealed it if their first PK wasn't so weak

My explanation as well. He wanted to do what Drogba did at the CL and seal the deal.Originally Posted by Gex The Damaja
My guess is they expected a different outcome and had him last as a moment of glory.Originally Posted by thachosen123
Ok so obviously i don't know much about soccer, but why didn't Portugal have ronaldo kick?........ain't that like putting Kobe on the bench for the final shot
Somebody help me with that out
This type of loss hurts the most, especially since we played better than Spain for 90% of the matchOriginally Posted by engoi
I'm a little bit sorry for the Portugal fans.
The first golden generation with Figo, Rui Coasta and Nuno Gomes didn't won a title and now it seems that
this "golden generation" is not able to win a title.
Pretty sure the PK lineup was confirmed by the coach beforehand and Alves just can't countOriginally Posted by SOleILL
Why didn't ronaldo stop alves just like nani stopped alves?? He knows hes a defender c'mon dude. That was Ronaldo's job. I'm not blaming Bruno he did his job at defending throughout the game Ronaldo didn't. But now it's up to Spain for me. I wanted portugal Smh

1 goal in 5 matches. Haven't been scored on in over 500 minutes. I don't know if it's that wise to criticize them defensively. They deserve to be in the final more than any team not named Germany.Originally Posted by AlmostNotReady
Spain has all those technically gifted players.
But all they do is pass back and forth.
No free kicks.. No dribbles.. No crosses.. No shots.
And its not like they are that good defensively..
Yet they are in the final. Smh.
Nah dead that. The only excuse is there was unwavering confidence that everybody leading up to, and including Bruno Alves was going to make their penalty.Originally Posted by Keepie Uppie
can't blame Ronaldo at all...can't even blame the coach...
probably no one had the nerves to take a penalty...that pressure is way too much...
Ronaldo may be the most likeliest player to score from a penalty but there's no certainty that he will...shootouts are 50/50,i'm just saying...
Real talk.Originally Posted by HankMoody
Once the Portugal goalie saved the first attempt, Ronaldo should've been in there right away for the best chance to get the advantage.
This is definitely been a big problem for Spain. I believe they should've used the 6 midfielders today to completely control the tempo of the match rather than throw in Negredo who hasn't played significant minutes all tournament. I'm also not sure what Del Bosque has against Llorente? Surely Llorente can't be so worn out from his season at Bilbao this year?Originally Posted by JUS3
Spain definitely misses Villa. Del Bosque flip-flopping like crazy with his center-forward.
