I think Ronaldo is just a lazy soccer player with extremely good ball skills. Or am I just a hater?

I think Ronaldo is just a lazy soccer player with extremely good ball skills. Or am I just a hater?

I think the temperature and humidity being at roughly one billion may have something to do with it

 

[GBO18]

What a shot. Goalllllll

 

[utvolpj]

what a freaking shot!

 

[milohimself]

No ****ing way

 

[GBO18]

And what is Portugal's goalie doing?

 

[volfanCLT]

What a snipe!

 

[utvolpj]

I don't necessarily blame their keeper. There are times a ball comes out and you never see it until it's too late

 

[GBO18]

I think he thought it was going wide.

 

[volfanCLT]

I think he thought it was going wide.

I think everyone in the stadium thought it was too

 

[firestorm]

I think he thought it was going wide.

No doubt does explain no movement.

As it was it was said best assumption is the mother of all screw ups.
Clean version compared to what was said in under siege 2.

He shall forever this egregious refusal to move resulting in a topnotch unique top 10 play goal.

If it's not in top 10 plays I'll be damn shocked

 

[utvolpj]

even if you think that shot is going wide you'll cover to the post. Still believe he never saw it

 

[GBO18]

The flopping just kills me. Part of the game I know.

 

[milohimself]

Probably should have been a penalty.

 

[milohimself]

Terrible booking. He got the ball

 

[volfanCLT]

Hold the damn ball. What happened to that possession ball we saw in the 1st half

Anyone care to explain yellow cards? Can a player get ejected for penalties?

 

[utvolpj]

yes, 2 yellow = red and ejection

Red card is automatic ejection.

Yellow is pretty much a warning. 2 yellows mean a red card and ejection.

 

[utvolpj]

can also get yellows in other games and it will add up to a red

Reckless challenges (tackles) can get you a yellow card, along with a few other things. If you get two in a match, you're out and your team continues on a man down.

If it's especially egregious like a punch, spikes up or a kick to the face, then it's a red and you're off immediately.

The situation that comes up frequently is denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity, like if somebody was on a clear run to the goal and rather try and take the ball, you just bowl them over.
