Had everything except a goal

Nah, feels like it needed a random dumb red card (Portugal had a couple of top candidate players for that) and some fisticuffs

COME ON SLOVENIA!!!!!!  

[ThanatosAFC]

If Ronaldo has some balls then he will take the first one.

[Redshift]

Can't see Portugal winning this.

[dudester]

Think Ronny has emotionally recovered enough to miss another pen? 

[Rob1981]

“HOW GOOD ARE SLOVENIA?”

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.

Haha very true. That thread running throughout has made it absolutely must see.

[TM]

the BBC graphic there - "Missitano Penaldo"

[Darius1998]

That Neves volley at the end is so bad. The ball is going to land in Mainz. 

[kopsy101]

Ronaldo is legitimately crying right now. 

I absolutely admire the hell out of him, and he'll probs hit his next penalty to perfection because of his mindset, but it's quite funny. 

[aiston]

BBC

Wow.

I can't imagine the meltdown if he misses again. Could be spectacular.

[BoroPhil]

Misstiano Penaldo

 

[Barry Cartman]

Misstiano Penaldo

[Bliss Seeker]

Oh man, Ronaldo is full on Gazza'90 mode right now.  He's broken

Probably put himself 5th so he can be the money shot, then they are out before he gets to take one. 2012 all over again.

[Darren Moores Mum]

**** sake

[GunmaN1905]

Maestro.

Too washed for the tournament, sadly.

[CFuller]

Ilicic 

Worst possible start.

[Darius1998]

Ilicic. 

[Astafjevs]

Diogo Costa is 43% save rate on pens in his senior career. Far better than Oblak.

[Baptista_8]

Ilicic missing 😪

[Redshift]

Well

[Smallen]

oh no not Ilicic  

[Pukey]

Come on Oblak

[ThanatosAFC]

Ilicic not having a good night so far 

[GunmaN1905]

DOES THIS COUNT FOR THE RECORD?!?!?!

[Darren Moores Mum]

Boooo

[CFuller]

Cristiano Pearce. 

[Orzelek]

Very poor by Ilicic

[ThanatosAFC]

Ronaldo has balls 

[Orzelek]

Ronaldo finally scores

[Darren Moores Mum]

That's a great pen though tbf.

That's actually nuts. 

[XuluBak]

Surprised he went first. Looked quite poor since coming on.

[GunmaN1905]

And it's over.

Might aswell get ready for France-Portugal penalties.

[Darius1998]

Costa is a beast at pens.

[craigcwwe]

So close to saving that Ronaldo penalty. Thought he'd messed up with the pause before the kick. 

[Darren Moores Mum]

That's that then

[InigoPatinkin]

Thought he'd put it in the top corner, but that's impossible to save. 

[Redshift]

OK, keeper wins MOTM

[av3ry]

Portugal keepers good 

[Weezer]

That’s two great saves by Costa.

[Pukey]

Oh, Costa is a beast as well

[enigmatic]

Costa's bloody good isn't he.

[Orzelek]

Costa saves again

 

Great save

[CFuller]

Yeah, let the left-back take the second penalty. What could go wrong?

[Haguey]

Well there we go. Sad

[Bliss Seeker]

Well done Ronnie. What a man... what a man 

[ThanatosAFC]

Diogo stepping up, who would know...
