Cristiano Ronaldo is really good at football.
Regardless of what you think of him, this is undeniable. And he really came to life against a Dutch team out of ideas and out of luck. But the old adage about earning luck is as true in football as in all other walks of life.
CR7 kept creating chances, kept missing chances, and kept coming back for more.
Robben, Sneijder and co. kept creating, kept missing, kept sulking.
Forget all the posturing and pouting - and that habit he has of glancing up at the big screen hoping to see an immediate replay of his own latest flash of skill - and concentrate on the sheer work rate and professionalism of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Oh, and the Germans won as well. Again:
Question marks over the keeper there, surely...

As a busy executive in a highly competitive industry, I've time to read just one football blog covering major tournaments that joyfully employs Hoskins clips. I'm glad to have found a home at Sixty Four Games!
ReplyDeleteOn the sulkers - Arjen Robben is due for a holiday or perhaps a stay at some sort of footballing convalescent home that specializes in the field of mental strengths.
Cheers!
