It would have been so much better if he'd got to take it, missed and sent them out. That would have made my life.

Haha Ronaldo was so clearly waiting 'til last so he could take the glory. What a tit.

I reckon he wasn't going to take one at all, didn't look confident at all. Plus hes bottled it several times when it comes to pennos - United v. Chelsea '08, United Vs. Barca '08 and Real Vs. Bayern '12

I miss Ian Harte (as a Leeds fan) Him being Irish does nothing for me

It will be nice to see him in the top flight again this season with Reading Levante's finest

Hahah, I thought his move to Levante was a weird one. He's been great for Reading, and it is good to see him back where he deserves to be.

It was considering Inter Milan and Barca were 'apparently' looking for him beforehand. He had a few dodgy seasons after Levante before settling at Carlise. Couldn't believe he was their top goal scorer a few years back!

Quality defender

once a red. always a red.

ahahaha omg bea don't hate me, I have a bad relationship with your team and spanish football in general

well if it's any consolation, i only watch football every two years (worldcup, euro, worldcup, euro..) and that's it. and our team this year has been playing like shit, i'll admit that.

ahaha same I used to be a lot into football six years ago (and every goddamn male just assumes I don't know the rules just because I don't watch it now. duh) but it just bores me now, world and euro cups are fun tho

haha i went to watch this game at a friend's house, and we ended up playing cards during the second half of the game - that's how bored we were (until the fucking penalties..) we'll go watch the final in town on a big screen they've put on, so i hope that'll be more entertaining (can't play cards there..)

I was actually expecting a frying pan in reply to that...

the frying pn was implicit!

and bea yes I couldn't watch the whole game too, SO BORING

The match bored me too! I watched most of Sharapova's game at Wimbeldon instead, flicking back and forth. Lost all intrest in the Euros after Ireland went out which is strange as I've watched international tournaments without Ireland even qualifying for the past 10 years

Also - Maria Sharapova

Waaaaaay to excited for tonight over here

Hoping Germany win, have had them down to win this whole tournament for a while now.

In Germany we usually expect nothing. I don't know why but it's like we talk our team down before a tournament. Especially this year, with 7 of the national team losing against Chelsea.

That match against Chelsea was freak, in fact most of CSKA Londons matches in that tournament were freak. They were lucky in the final. End of.

Germany have a fantastic team and well disciplined, I can't see them loose.

Now watch them loose
