🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Wayne Rooney: “One came on for 20 minutes and changed the entire game. The other started and held his team back.”
“People keep telling me football is about reputation. No, it’s about impact.
Look at the difference. Messi comes on with 20 minutes left and completely changes the game. One penalty, one goal, defense-splitting passes, involvement in the build-up, leadership, composure. Argentina instantly looked sharper, more fluid, more ruthless. That’s what greatness is. You don’t need 90 minutes to dominate a match when your football brain is operating two steps ahead of everyone else.
Now look at Ronaldo. Portugal controlled possession, created chances, had the game where they wanted it, but their attack looked blunt. Missed chances, poor decisions, shots when simple passes were available, free-kick into the wall, an offside goal, and then he’s off at halftime. The uncomfortable truth is Portugal looked more cohesive, more dynamic, and more dangerous after he left the pitch.
If Portugal are serious about going deep in this tournament, they need to stop making decisions based on history. Ronaldo’s legacy is untouchable, but trophies aren’t won with memories. Right now, he looks more like a luxury than a necessity.
The difference between Messi and Ronaldo at this stage isn’t talent. It’s adaptation. One accepts what the game needs. The other still wants the game to revolve around him.
And before Ronaldo fans get angry, ask yourselves one question: if his name wasn’t Cristiano Ronaldo, would he still be starting?”
Comunicado oficial con nuestras aclaraciones sobre el comunicado oficial de nuestros vecinos @realmadrid:
1. Se os cortó el vídeo del Papa donde decía que también era del Atleti.
2. Habréis confundido la educación con agradecimiento, pero para que no haya dudas: no os agradecemos nada.
3. Ni estudiamos ni valoramos ninguna oferta por Julián.
4. Cómo no nos vamos a llevar bien, si nos hacéis reír aún más que el @FCBarcelona_es.
The fanbase that’s even the biggest clowns in all this Arsenal ‘pragmatic football’ talk is Chelsea.
A team that won their first UCL by winning on pens after conceding 43 shots in the final, equalizing goal came from their ONLY corner in the 88th minute of the game.
Just after averaging about 19% possession in both games in the Semifinal vs Barcelona.
Hypocrites.. that’s what all of you people are.
The reason no arsenal fan should even entertain any bullshit from rival (and wannabe rival) fans re refereeing or playing styles is because for nearly 3 decades, this used to be normal service every week in England.
And then, the media would call them weak.

If you’re ever in any doubt about how Jim White views football fans, it’s worth revisiting this clip. The most tone deaf thing you’ll ever see.
He sees all of us as muppets to be taken the piss out of.
