Politics

No, what some people call "politics"

Messi 78 games 32 goals. Ronaldo 101 games 38 goals that's all i have to say..Ronaldo plays 23 more games than Messi and only have 6 goals more than Messi clearly he don't perform for his team..They boo Ronaldo in Portugal during the N Ireland wc qualifying game, and why Ronaldo only scored 1 goals in is last 21 world cup qualifiers for Portugal? why is Portugal in danger of not making the wc? apart from Russia the other teams in that group are average and Portugal still cant dominate these teams. teams like; Israel,Northern Ireland, Azerbaijan,Luxembourg and Russia. Russia is the only formidable team in that group apart from Portugal yey Portugal struggling currently in third place..:(

Did you watch the match KidultHood?

yes i did watch it, there are a lot of website to watch the games live. Israel gave the game away, if they had more experience maybe they could have hold on for the win.

Portugal is not a consistent team. They have issues in attack where they play with one striker, either Postiga or Almedia, as an outlet and both usually don't play outside their 'comfort zone' which is the central area in front of the opponent's goal. IMO Portugal could benefit from a forward that can roam freely and switch between Cristiano and Nani efficiently. Cristiano has had to drop into the mid-field to help the transitions but when both forwards and mid-fielders are slow and not sharp it causes a lot of problems for the team especially when there isn't many outlets/channels available. Cristiano can't do both. They might be able to hold possession but nothing will come of it if outlets are not created and passes don't break up the defence.

Argentina has world class forwards in Higuain, Aguero, Messi and Lavezzi. They have plenty of outlets and a well structured mid-field with Mascherano, Gago and Di Maria with Messi being an effective channel between the two areas. They also have players like Montillo, Pastore and Banega as options in mid and they are all intelligent players who can work well for Messi instead of over playing and leaving gaps behind them. The only aspect I see Portugal being stronger in is the defence yet they have struggled against the other teams in their group. Portugal is going through a slump but they will bounce back and improve. Argentina's chemistry is working well while Portugal has showed a lack of efficiency. I think it's pointless debating stats if you don't look at how teams play. Portugal had a great Euro with Cristiano leading the way and I hope they can work on their chemistry for the 2014 World Cup.

Because that maybe the only time Israel actually scores against a good team, so they gotta make a good use for it. Keep watching it over and over again.

Thats actually wasn't Israeli channel broadcasting, it was Russian channel. i think you guys under estimating Israel. Most of Israelis players play in a Europeans club teams.

you want to talk politics, gtfo, this is clearly about football.

keep your racism out of here.

How is it racism? At least @Pirbalovinco used the right term.

Just to clarify Ch3ls3a, Jaysetsfire was responding to a comment by another user's post which I deleted, not yours specifically. Your reaction is completely out of line regardless of this though.

Sorry, Jaysetfire69. i did not know!
