Hope Ronaldo chooses 5th pen again.

I'm counting on it.

What I would give for a Roberto Baggio moment from Ronaldo.

[Bobfoc]

Boo

[METALMAN]

ooooh will he miss?!?!?!?!?!?!

sadly not.

[Chris2K]

Well that's an illegal penalty. That was a stop, not a stutter.

Oh Slovenia, why must you choke.

[METALMAN]

bloody hell this team are shit at pelanties

[Bobfoc]

They need to stop aiming low against Costa.

[gunnar hendershow]

Well Ronaldo will take all the credit but Diogo Costa won Portugal this match.

[TheGrandAvatar]

As bad as Slovenia look at penalties, Costa is a fantastic keeper. The real star of Portugal and not Ronaldo. 

[Colly]

Might as well have just got tonked in normal time.

[Adam]

What a shame, Slovenia defended brilliantly for 120 minutes.

Sesko will be ruing that miss for a long, long time.

[METALMAN]

Ah well. Still funny to see Crissy R crying tho

[Bobfoc]

Portugal will surely have a better chance of beating France if they leave Ronaldo on the bench. Presumably, though, he's got enough power to effectively overrule such decisions.

[Malenko]

You're missing the point here, really.

Ronaldo missed the penalty ON PURPOSE to allow Diogo Costa to be the star of the night. What an amazing human being.

France have not allowed (or scored) a goal in open play. I don't see how Portugal generates anything on offense with Ronaldo putting himself in the middle.

This is how you trigger Ronaldo:

The quality of the goalkeeping and poor finishing makes me think that a penalty shootout could be a low-scoring one.

I mean, you weren't wrong.

[DFF]

Maybe we can finish this story with Ronaldo scoring an own goal to send France through?
