I wonder whats wrong with Ronaldo these days. To me he just doesnt look match fit anymore. I remember back in the days when he was good, moving into space, picking the ball up and running at players, generally just getting involved with everything in attack. Now he just stands up front like the fat boy, who got told by his dad that hes coming off at half time.

He offers nothing!

I really thought Croatia deserved to win that game, they created more decent chances, although the game itself was a pretty dull affair.

What came from that though, is that Brazil are very vunerable at the back, and that will be a welcome sight too most teams.

Sitting on your arse for 2 years because of an injury that nearly threatened his football life to end devastated his fitness. He still has the ability but looks like a taller Maradona in his 40's -not a football in shape, rather like an american football ball. He definitely needs challenge and fan support in his football club carreer. I think stepping down a team in Primera Liga or move to Premiership will vitalize his last years, a happier end would it be that way.

Mr. rotund, corpulent, voluminous, chubby Ronnie boy ate all the pies.

As for a move to the EPL, who would take him on in that shape? Even 'big' Sam would have to wire his jaws up. (but then he'd only strain melted butter through his teeth)

It's just the strategy of Brazil.. Leave the 5 cities to the enemy, so he conquers them and stuffs his troops in them, to keep them in order. With that, the enemy forces will be stretched quite thin, so you take them out with a unit superior to it's opposite by a little more men.. What do you know about coaching..

Am happy with the 0 - 0 of France and Switzerland. Could have won but at the same time we could have lost it in the last minute too. All is well. Most here were hoping for a draw anyway.

Poland - Germany is going to be interesting. Last chance for Poland and Germany under pressure finally facing real opposition. I am looking forward to their defense...

Also looking forward to the Poland - Germany match, Although the Spain - Ukaine match could be a stunner!!!

IMO Czech Rep. have looked the most promising so far! Rosicky is AMAZING. I'm so glad Arsene Wenger bought him before the WC, saved lots of money doing that.
