I don't think Cristiano Ronaldo deserves all this shit people are giving him now. Anger-management-retarded Wayne Rooney lost his cool for a couple of seconds, commits two obvious and deliberate fouls consecutively, gets sent off and you blame C. Ronaldo for it? So maybe C. Ronaldo had been egging the referee on, but if Rooney had not stomped on Carvalho in the first place, C. Ronaldo wouldn't have the chance to get him sent off. I remember the exact same thing happened to David Beckham in World Cup '98. Antagonised by Argentina's Diego Simone, he kicked out at him and (surprise, surprise!) got himself sent off. At that point of time, people blamed poor Becks, not Simone. So shouldn't they be consistent now and blame Rooney instead of C. Ronaldo? Sending him for counseling first would be a good idea. Booing C. Ronaldo every time he has the ball is not a good idea.Well. Italy vs France, who would have expected? Did you know that both teams have 2 really great midfielders? Italy has Andrea Pirlo, the Midfield Master, whereas France has Zinedine Zidane, the Midfield Magician. This will be especially interesting to watch.
Oh and I think FIFA is really bias you know. They’ve got the Golden Shoe Award for the player who scores the most goals and the Golden Ball Award for outstanding players in the tournament [the nominees are out and NONE OF THEM ARE GOALKEEPERS (except for ONE PATHETIC BUFFON)]. That’s why I’m going to create my very own Golden Glove Award for the goalie who makes the most fantastic saves. And to prove that I’m impartial and righteous and honest and upright and just, I’m not giving the award to Iker Casillas (ESP) though he kinda deserves it. No, I’m gonna give it to Ricardo (POR)! That’s for the 3 penalty shoot-out saves he made against England, and he rarely concedes a goal. He even had a hand to the penalty kick by Zidane. I actually wanted to give it to Zuberbuehler (SWI) but he totally sucks at penalty shoot-outs. Unlike Ricardo.
