Cristiano Ronaldo is a man brimming with confidence in just about every aspect of life. Think to yourself, have you ever seen Ronaldo uncomfortable or awkward? Sure, we’ve seen him pissed about ghost goals, throwing his armband and other fits, but I’ve never seen him out of his comfort zone.
Las últimas imágenes de Cristiano Ronaldo, dentro de un campo en esta temporada, ocurrieron el pasado 27 de junio. Ese día la selección de Portugal fue eliminada de la Euro a manos de Bélgica y CR7 era una bola de frustración, que tiraba la jineta de capitán al piso, lleno de rabia e impotencia. Horas después, sin embargo, el jugador entraba en modo zen para poder disfrutar de una merecidas vacaciones junto a su novia Georgina Rodríguez y sus hijos, Crisitano Junior, Alana Martina y los gemelos Eva y Mateo.
Soccer is unique in so many ways, and perhaps no play in all of sports is more meaningful than the penalty kick.
Points are more scarce in soccer than they are in any other sport, and no other sport includes one play with such a high percentage chance of scoring.
A game that features 22 players on the pitch is condensed into a one-on-one battle for a few crucial seconds, and in the end, there are only two possible outcomes: either a goal is scored or the ball fails to cross the goal line — with the former being the most likely.
Francia, Alemania, Portugal y Hungría eran parte del Grupo F de la Eurocopa. Grupo tan difícil como atractivo. Francia, vigente campeón mundial; Portugal, actual rey de Europa; Alemania, tetracampeones mundiales; y Hungría a completar el grupo.
Didier Deschamps, Joachim Löw y Fernando Santos contaban con los mejores equipos desde el vamos. Ponerlos entre los favoritos del torneo y llamar a la serie el Grupo de la Muerte caía de cajón.
While the Euros roll on through the knockout rounds, we have plenty of wild fan interactions already. From fans showing up to support their team in the wrong country to pitch invaders wielding rainbow flags, anything goes as fans are enjoying their time back. Football fans were kept from stadiums and fully supporting their teams for over a year by the Covid-19 pandemic, diminished to yelling at screens instead of faces, so we wouldn't expect anything less extravagant than what has been happening. Let's take a look at the best Euro 2020 fans so far.
Arsenal and Tottenham are not two teams known for their defensive solidity over the years. Yet three center backs who came to prominence at those two clubs just shut down Cristiano Ronaldo, Diogo Jota, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes, João Félix and Portugal.
Not so Spursy after all.
There were two shots on goal in the first half of the much-anticipated Belgium-Portugal Round of 16 Euro 2020 match on Sunday. The first was a scorching free kick from Cristiano Ronaldo parried wide by Thibaut Courtois; the second the Thorgan Hazard goal vs Portugal, which started when Courtois dribbled by Ronaldo.
With two heavyweights meeting early in the knockout stages, the teams spent most of the first half feeling each other out. There were few real chances on goal, but Ronaldo did trouble Courtois with this free kick that he actually hit on target.
The top-ranked team in the world takes on the top all-time international goal scorer in men’s soccer in Seville, Spain. Our Belgium vs Portugal prediction, preview and viewer’s guide will prepare you for what could be the match with the most overall talent of any game at 2020 Euro.
Los goles son goles. Sean de chilena, de cabeza o de rodilla. Cristiano Ronaldo los ha hecho de todas formas, pero por alguna razón hay un grupo de personas que trata de invalidar sus logros porque muchas de esas conquistas han sido de penal. Hasta lo llaman Penaldo.
Obviamente, es una insensatez.
Lo relevante es que mientras sus críticos pierden el tiempo en boberías, Cristiano Ronaldo hoy ante Francia marcó dos goles y consiguió convertirse en el máximo goleador masculino a nivel de selecciones, igualando al iraní Ali Daei, con 109 conquistas.
