Corvinus85 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Against a lesser keeper that might have been a goal. Not against Courtois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 He got it on target, which is more than can be said of 9/10 of his free-kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 It was a decent save, nothing more. Ronaldo struck it well but any keeper at professional level would be expected to keep that out. The biggest shock about the free-kick was Ronaldo actually getting it on target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 He's still ruthless in front of goal, but he's a shadow of the player he once was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 There’s some swerve on that ball. His brother would have been proud of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Good shot, but not sure that was really unstoppable. It went in relatively central. I think an absolute elite goalkeeper keeps that one out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Jota has been poor in this tournament. A. Silva should come on in his place. Ronaldo is also more effective when he's alongside a #9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped playing soccer after the 6th grade when I could sign up for American football, but that was basically what I was taught to do as a defensive midfield kind of player.

Sure, but you slide in from the side and not from the back. If you need to play the tactical foul in midfield, there are better ways. This was really not about winning the ball, this was just commit the foul to stop the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, give me bruno Yeah, the slight step he took the right was a arguably a mistake. It's not a clear howler (as in must save), but like I said, I think the elite goalies keep that one out. Very challenging shot and very difficult save to make, but not unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
