No, let him be on to miss the decisive shoot out pen

Didn't they get knocked out in Qatar because he waited until the end to get all the glory and they'd already lost by the 5th pen?

Ronaldo's Adams apple is bigger than his head

[wilsdenrover]

Got to score that 

[DE.]

Portugal very, very lucky that Slovenia's attacking options are abysmal. 

[RTM08]

Oh Slovenia, that was the chance...

[roverandout]

What an effing chance 

[Ianrally]

So will Ronaldo take a pen?

[joey_big_nose]

Got to fancy pens with Oblak...

[Ianrally]

The Brazilian Ronaldo wasn’t called the real Ronaldo for nothing. Different class.

Let's be honest, the only one who takes Ronaldo off is Ronaldo. Martinez is just a cheerleader on the sidelines. 

Bit like Southgate with Captain Kane.

[roverandout]

Terrible start. So obvious

Italy made them look good, one of the poorest Italian teams I have seen for a while.

They haven't just played one game! I was impressed by them before they met Italy.

Remember that Slovenia have to score theirs as well, even if Oblak saves a couple.

Edit: And there we go

[wilsdenrover]

Slovenia aren’t very good at shooting 

[RTM08]

Why does that Ronaldo pen count? He stopped dead?

You’re allowed to these days as long as you’re not at the ball when you do so.

[roverandout]

Portugeezer keeper stumped the penalty spot. They really are vile 

[RTM08]

Slovenia have been elite at the back, but god they've been abysmal in front of goal.

[wilsdenrover]

How to waste two hours work in three kicks.

[DE.]

Knew as soon as it went to pens Portugal would win. 

I know it's Portugal, but at the same time... not sure I could deal with watching another Slovenia game. They try hard but have had no offensive quality in this tournament. The penalties summed them up as an attacking force. 

[Upside Down]

Three absolutely wank penalties from Slovenia and three absolutely class ones from Portugal.

[wilsdenrover]

Portugal are undoubtedly a talented team but boy is it easy to hate them.

[AllRoverAsia]

Postcards sent, then a telegram and to make sure delivered with not too much pace at a perfect height for the keeper to save, the only requirement was to dive the correct way.

3 of the most pathetic penalties I've ever seen.

I've seen dogs shit better that than shower.

That’s because they have a current Manure baby and a past Manure baby. Easy for me to hate them for that reason.
