If he is or was a meme then you've not watched him closely 

He was absolutely key in the Euro 2016 title for example

He's underrated because people don't like him (understandably)

I think Pepe is great! He definitely has a rep though.

[DJ]

Heh heh heh. More.

Here we go again

Top class defender

[Darius1998]

Straight at the keeper.

[Orzelek]

That was actually a decent try

[Haguey]

On target this time!

[CFuller]

Ronaldo on target 

[Haguey]

'What a good save'

Genuinely think Keown is the absolute worst of all the pundits and commentators

Considering the keeper doesn't stand behind the wall on a fk, hitting it straight at him isn't much of an achievement

[Darius1998]

There is no way Fernandes or Silva take worse free kicks than what he has put up tonight (and all tournament).

[Darren Moores Mum]

Oh, Sesko 

[Darius1998]

Oh man, that was the chance.

[Pukey]

That feels like the big moment for Slovenia. Not sure they get another.

[Freakiie]

What a miss.

[Astafjevs]

That's a terrible effort. Not even close to being on target

[CFuller]

Great defending from Pepe, but Sesko disappointing again.

What is it with all the big finishers at this tournament? If I didn't know better, I'd think Ivan Schranz is the best striker in Europe right now. 

[craigcwwe]

Abysmal effort from Sesko. 

[Smallen]

going fast and direct when you’ve got Sesko + another up top against Dias and Pepe’s chronic lack of pace feels like something Slovenia should’ve done more of.

[enigmatic]

It's a complete miskick. Would probably have been better off waiting for Pepe to foul him

[GunmaN1905]

Poor Vitinha paying the price of having the lowest reputation of the bunch.

[GunmaN1905]

@DJ

Dive number three.

[Smallen]

Leao seems to have all the ability and attributes in the world but his g+a numbers really aren’t very good given who he plays for.

[Craigus89]

That smoke is real bad!

He has been more fun to watch than most of his teammates, and in a good way

The Dutch commentator is laughing at him by now. 'He won't get anything this evening, not this way'. 

[Haguey]

Chronic lack of quality in the final third again here for an unfancied team playing well

He's a streaky player who looks like he can't be bothered to put the effort in a lot of matches. Has streaks of months without any production.

Would easily be one of the best wings if he could be assed.

[Darren Moores Mum]

Hahahaha, pathetic.

[Darius1998]

How many free kicks now? 

[EnterUsernameHere]

This is embarrassing.

[craigcwwe]

Ronaldo FK attempt no.3.....

[Shambolic]

Why is someone not saying to the twit, look mate your free-kicks are *****, let one of us have a go.

[thefmveteran86]

Ronaldo's lost his touch now?

[Smallen]

let somebody else take a free kick man . This isn’t the under 12s where the most cocky kid gets to take all the free kicks and penalties no matter what.

[Pukey]

"Slovenia fans are actually mocking that!" Why is Mowbray surprised at football fans taking the **** after someone smacks a free kick miles over the bar  

[Haguey]

Keep going Ronaldo you can do it!

[GunmaN1905]

Actually embarrassing from the rest of the squad that noone has the courage to say anything to him.

[Haguey]

Who is he moaning at now  He was miles away from the ball

[XuluBak]

Ffs. Now, I’m watching this match. 

[craigcwwe]

You can imagine Ronaldo would be right annoying to play alongside for all the moaning, whinging and arm throwing.

He's the guy who makes your 5-a-side team create a new chat group without him.

[ReggaeBwoy]

Must be so annoying for other Portugal players who know they can give a better go at free kicks, only for the same **** to happen. It is quite utterly selfish too. I said before that it will better for the team/nation when he retires as he holds too much power. That second free kick wear he hit from near the corner flag was pathetic.

It’s gonna take a team effort. Someone needs to distract him, while someone else runs up and takes it.

[CFuller]

As soon as Ronaldo retires, Portugal are potential Euro or even World Cup winners.

[Bliss Seeker]

Even the ref looks annoyed with all the diving 

[ThanatosAFC]

That Sesko lad has a bright future, he is clever and understands the game so well. 

[craigcwwe]

Pathetic dive from Conceicao. 

[Rob1981]

This pitch is still a right mess.
