Cron seems to utilise some breath technique type method to improve focus before taking a free kick/pen, whatever he does it bloody well works!

He's actually shit at free kicks, on a galactic scale

Giroud opened up about his greatest childhood fear in 2016, telling Arsenal’s matchday programme: “My brothers are older than me, and they used to tease me about a kids TV character called Alf. Do you know him? Alf the Alien. My God he was so ugly and I was so scared of him. My brothers used to say: 'Be careful, Alf is going to get you tonight!' They went too far.”

indeed i accept there will be troublemakers suggesting this was a capitulation - however the scoreboard does not lie - as i have not worried to be born, i do not worry to die.
so we continue in a calm fashion with no unnecessary rabble-rousing - though in the end our hearts were on fire a 3-2 victory is worth as much on the abacus as a 1-0.
there is no need for alarm.

it's certainly the most complete performance I've seen from him in recent seasons. Much more involved than he typically is for Madrid

won & scored a soft penalty, won & scored a soft free-kick. basically a scoundrel

it is not like he orchestrated open play particularly brilliantly - spain were much better in that regard

Looking at Portugal last night we were kind of staggered and amused that Neves and Jota weren't deemed good enough for that squad, maybe Costa and Cavaleiro too. My one question mark with Ronaldo is that the team is still built around servicing him in a way that is ceasing to be healthy and at some point they'll have to bite the bullet and start to move on.
― cheeky Nandez (Noodle Vague), Saturday, 16 June 2018 09:47 (six years ago) link
Kinda love everybody on last night's hate list tho, was arguing with my bruv about Costa's first goal and tbh the "did he jump all over the defender" decision was 50-50 but I love the guy so I don't care

everything about that Costa goal was brilliant

The only way we learn anything about France today is if they fail to batter Aus imo

xp as I said last night it was a supremely Costa-esque goal
