Pretty unselfish from CR7 for that third goal tbh.

Ronaldo should still be starting because he’s better than all other CFs. You guys seriously believe Ramos should be starting over him?

Jotta is more of a team player and good enough.

The difference is other CFs might be able to run and press whilst Ronaldo at this point is just like a midtable or EL level poacher.

That was a no brainer. You have to be an idiot not to square there with a 100% chance of scoring. It's the whining and demanding the pass every time that's the problem.

 

[Morten]

It was between keeping Varane, a much younger player, or keeping Pepe, who was already pretty old back in 2017, so it was logical.

In hindsight though, knowing now, how well he would age, wouldn't have minded seeing him at the club for several more seasons.

Best thing to stop turkish whistles is leading with 2-3 against them. Then you have a nice and quiet game. Gj Portugal

Man...

The idiot announcer is fucking up the Portuguese names, leaving off the final syllables. If you're going to cover international football, do your fucking homework. Pe-pay, not Pep. Men-dez, not Mends. Fernan-dez, not Fernands. jfc..

No he isn't. That's how you pronounce Portuguese names. You are the one who's saying it wrong.


It's supposed to be pronounced kind of like Bruno Fernandsh.


@Co0ter @Fati_Future_BallonDor tell him.

Pronounciation can be confusing, for a long time, i was confused on how to pronounce Kroos, for one.

Nah, you're wrong. The Anglo announcer pronounced everything with 1 less syllable than there should be.

You're correct in that it is more of an "ezh" sound than a "ez." Fer-nan-dezh, not "Fern-ands."

I studied Brasilian Portuguse for awhile, which is a whole different animal and pronounciation varies greatly from region to region.

Well I don't know how exactly the commentator pronounced it. I missed most of the game.


But the idea is to pronounce it something like Fernandsh.


Pepe is pronounced as Pep. I saw a clip where he himself said that.

Fer-nan-desh. 3 syllables. Men-desh. 2 syllables, not 1.

Appears you are correct about Pepe, even though La Liga announcers (incorrectly) used 2 syllables the entire time he was at Madrid.

It turns out you have been pronouncing Pepe's name wrong this whole time

Who knew?
