I'm assuming you mean the second stint at Man United, yeah  

Loll yeah second, I mean he was on the decline then but had more to him, this is really bad 

[titchuk]

I like all the coaches getting mystery yellow cards and surprising the commentator.

[GunmaN1905]

Oh come on, you're supposed to be a 100M forward.

[Astafjevs]

Sesko man, got to score that

[titchuk]

Portugal must have some great penalty takers for a shootout even if Ronaldo doesn't want one, right?

[Darius1998]

Oh Sesko.

Ronaldo giving proper Christian Vieri Euro 2004 vibes in this match. This whole competition, in fact

 

What did Vieri do in 2004? 

I just remember Italy in general being poor that tournament, Totti spitting at Poulsen and Italy whining about Sweden and Denmark playing 2-2.

[Pukey]

Oh come on Sesko  

[EnterUsernameHere]

Ahh what a miss.

[ThanatosAFC]

Gutted 

[Orzelek]

Sesko has been terrible today

[CFuller]

SESKO! 

No wonder they used to call him the Slovenian Benteke!

[Baptista_8]

That Sesko has been awful

[dudester]

Had to score that

[craigcwwe]

What a chance. 

[Rick87]

Cant see them getting a better chance than that

This entire tournament really no?

[kopsy101]

FFS

[Haguey]

Sesko isn't it is he, pathetic miss

[enigmatic]

between the one on one and the open goal rebound that's actually worse than the penalty miss

[BoroPhil]

he has to take more time there

[Smallen]

aw man, that’s such an easy chance.

He's looked terrible all tournament. Don't know what the fuss is all about. 

[DJ]

Pepe effs up and Sesko does not profit ffs :(

Prime Benteke does not miss that! Finishes it nice and cool near post after feinting to put it far post

[ceefax the cat]

Noooo when the underdog misses a big chance, you know the sickener is just around the corner

[Darren Moores Mum]

Sesko has had 2 great chances.

[XuluBak]

Sesko

Missed chance after chance, some absolute sitters as well. Couldn't seem to do anything right. Great player (although clearly not in Ronaldo's league) who just had one tournament too many.

He's been starved of service but I think that's 4 big chances he's fluffed now, not good enough

Injuries caught up with him, he was getting old and had a bad tournament.

Striker market is non-existant, so everyone with some quality has their price inflated.

Don't get me wrong, he can become a great striker, but way too early for the likes of Arsenal to be throwing a lot of money on him.

[TM]

chips the keeper when he comes out and he's probably scored, big miss

[av3ry]

Making subs with three minutes to go. Who is he, a bald Gareth Southgate?

Surely nobody knows how good he is, other than being a beast in FM

[enigmatic]

In fairness, as with Oblak, that's a really great save by Costa

[craigcwwe]

Some effort this from Slovenia tbf.

Penalty specialists?

I like the fact that he knows that too and opted to stay for another year in Leipzig.

[Smallen]

“the lowest ranked team in the tournament are still in the tournament”

Guy has had an absolute ‘mare tonight.

Roberto Martinez, destroying National Teams for longer than Gareth

[Pukey]

This has been one of the most fun **** games I've ever watched

Also, scoring goals in the Bundesliga, the farmerist or farmers leagues

[Darren Moores Mum]

That miss gets worse every time. That was it.

[titchuk]

So does Ronaldo take one in a shootout or not? And does he score it...

[CFuller]

Pentality shots coming up.

I need a drink.

Ronaldo needs Johnson's No More Tears.

Honestly, the Ronaldo Show has saved it. If not for him putting in an all time classic **** performance this would have been a terrible spectacle.

Had everything except a goal

[av3ry]

Good thing my idea of first goal wins is not happening here. They could play until the World Cup starts in 2026 and still not have a goal.
