Honestly it doesn't take away anything from Ronaldo, lets not be stupid enough to talk bad about De Gea that has been insane for such a long time, it's not like some scrub scored 3 against him it was Ronaldo, one of the all time greats.

What do you Brits call it? A howler

[Chelsbear]

At 33 years old to still be able to carry your team against a fantastic Spain side speaks volumes for Ronaldos work rate and commitment to football. There isn't a footballer out there who works harder than he does to stay at this level. A true phenomenon

Like I said, considering that De Gea has been amazing for such a long time, it's beyond ridiculous to flame him after CR7 scored. And I'm not a brit either.

I hope Messi is just as up for it as Ronaldo is. I would love to see the pair of them have great tournaments. I want to see the best of the best.

Totally agree Scott, great players show up in the main tournament. Ronaldo dragged Portugal along tonight in a similar way to what Maradona did for the Argies in 86. We need Messi to now do the same,so we can talk about them fully in the same breathe as other greats who have graced the world cup.

He f**ked up in Euro 2016 aswell and was partly responsible for United's CL exit last season.

In European and international football he still has everything to prove, and that's putting it mildly.

That doesn't take away the fact that Ronaldo just entered the G.O.A.T discussion after this performance with his hat-trick, thank you very much.

Hey? What's that got to do with DDG still has it all to prove on the big stage.

@Gol15 the main reason why I am LMAO is that the dirty red press always puts out there that De Gea is The Best GK playing in England - Just like Pogba is the Greatest MF - Just like Jones & Smalling are the Best CB pairing - I am on a Chelsea Site, so let me have my moments of fun - don't think the dirty red mancs didn't clown Chelsea when they won the shootout in Moscow

[Gol15]

@robdog No problem mate, from what I read their own fans don't know if they should praise Ronaldo so that he comes back to them or if they should make excuses for De Gea

I don't care even if Messi scores 15 goals at this tournament. Having Higauin, Dybala, Di Maria, Aguero, Icardi etc makes you absolute ridiculous if you fail. And God, he has failed so many freaking times. Never get a title, any title,  with such a squad and at the same time Cristiano carrying scrubs like Guedes, Quaresma, A. Silva, Joao Mario to very prestigious performances and cups(yes, a Euro cup 10x harder to win than Copa Amerika) - I just don't see how Messi could get out of this tournament with better appraisal than Cristiano. 

Last 3 years made it pretty clear about the greatest player of all time. And even the media and its propaganda, preceding Messi everywhere, can't help this guy. He has lost.

Just sat and enjoyed the Portugal v Spain game last night.

No pressure as it's not us playing, so I could relax !

Bloody hell this French team do some falling over, bunch of diving w**kers.

Well, you can't really blame Messi for that, 64 goals in 124 games is pretty damn good. He's been brilliant for Argentina, it's the others that are underachieving. They are both greats of the game, but nobody has wowed people the same way Messi has in the last 10 years.

Nobody is going to change my mind about VAR, it's not going to work because the people in charge are still not getting it right. I have seen it used in the Confederations Cup, FA Cup and now World Cup and the same problems exist.

Seemed to work pretty well today for me, the Aussie made contact with Griezmann's trailing leg. Clear pen.

After he got the ball, the momentum of the tackle took him into the player, like every tackle does.

The ball had gone by the time he felt his back leg touched, so inevitably he dived in desperation, shame the ref saw that as "clear and obvious" as it was anything but.
