Lol...its all good but it's still your opinion and I'm not convinced by it. Actually,i didn't see the penalty

Awwww.....why didn't you see it?Check out the highlights on youtube now. It was a well taken, curved penalty, those types that usually almost enter through the side of the net in which the keepers usually have no chance. At crucial times like this, experienced penalty takers usually do not play parallel / flat penalties, they take it up. That was what Ballack said and that was what he usually does in his time , same thing with Zidane, he did it in the finals against Italy. Likewise, Ronaldo did not play it flat, he took it up but did not also try the maximum risk of roofing it. It was so cool. The shot was hot, it had power so that in case the keeper's hands touches it, it will still most likely go in. The shot had good height. The shot had placing; two goal keepers could not have stopped it. Moreover, the taker of the shot ( Ronaldo) was bold to have stepped forward to take it, he was also so cool and calm prior to taking the shot. Now, that is what is called A REAL MAN AND THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY HE IS THE BEST FOOTBALLER IN THE WHOLE WORLD......Stepping up whenever the need arises.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Even though I expected real to go through, I did not expect Juventus to play this good after losing 3-0 at home. I can't imagine how lovely the would have been if they had been allowed to play 30 minutes extra time.
This match just showed me that real madrid can be beaten in their home by any team. I would love to see madrid - Liverpool in the semi final.
Salah vs Ronaldo

Alot of rubbish happened in that backline due to the absence of Sergio Ramos. Now, people will appreciate his worth. Last week, I remember telling my friend that Manchester United needs to buy quality defenders and not the kind of defenders they have now. 1 Sergio Ramos is better than the whole of the back line in Manchester united.

heskeyw:
Two weeks ago, the same referee in Real vs Juve didn't count this as a goal during Poland-Nigeria...

That goal was counted bro.

maverickdude:
The penalty was a 50:50 i must say,Benatia had contact with the ball. I think the ref shouldn't have made that decision but making it doesn't make it wrong..it was a foul

Yeah, you are right. He had contacts with the ball but it was after he had rammed into Vaquez stylishly with his right leg while also pushing him off with his laps

maverickdude:
From onset,your comments were tilted towards madrid,so i understand u saying it's a clear penalty. For me,it was soft and shouldn't have been awarded

What do you mean by soft? If the contact had happened anywhere on the pitch, that would be a free kick. Such contact in the penalty box is a penalty, that is so clear. You know I never made conclusions till I saw the highlights. My comments were not tilted towards Madrid previously. I thought it was Buffon that committed the foul and was red carded and that was why I said it must be a true penalty and then I was made to understand that Buffon's red card was not directly for the penalty incident but for arguing and shoving the referee and then I went to watch the highlight. Having watched the highlight, I see it was a penalty. What is your take on the quality of that penalty taken by Ronaldo?

Charles4075:
Bro, he shoved the refree.

August 13, 2017, Ronaldo did same thing in el classico and he was given his marching orders. Everybody agreed that it was a red card offence and even started listing fifa rules and regulations just because Ronaldo was involved.

Benatia was stupid, if it were to be chiellini that was with Vasquez, he would have tactically disoriented Vasquez to lose that ball.

And did anyone take notice that matuidi goal was a foul on keylor navas. The ball was on navas hands but the speed at which matuidi came, knocked the ball off his hand.

You are right. Plus, ISCO was never offside.

anigbajumo:
Referee awarded this as penalty, it will not be well with anybody that say it is a penalty or is tackling from behind.... He tip the ball from behind to Buffon is now a penalty... We just need to be sincere for once.

Can't you see his right leg behind Vaquez and the damage he did with it? The defender is so cunning. Unfortunately for him, the referee has sharp eyes. Clear penalty!

LorDBolton:
If you CLAIM that's not a CLEAR PENALTY kindly state why..

Also lemme point out that it's due to the fact Vazquez no get ball sense that we about to have this discuss...

Who tha Bleep waits for ball to come and meet them inside box 18

Lol, abi o. He is a bit inexperienced waiting for the ball but ddue to the way the ball was passed to him through a diagonal header, it was best he waits for the ball, not everyone have that technical ability and sense of awareness like Ronaldo to determine ball direction just after leaving the source. I think he still took the best decision.

Chrismario:
Like No one realised that juve's third goal was a foul

In fact, Isco was not even offside for his disallowed goal. He was way onside when Ronaldo released the shot he followed up.

maverickdude:

I just watched the highlights bro. That was not a 50/50. He had run into the Real guy before his legs came forward. It was a technical foul and only sick referees will fall for such trick. That is a clear penalty bro. Real player already created the space, shielded the on coming ball well and was just waiting to bury the ball before he was rammed into. Clear penalty!

KevinDein:
To have a fantastic night of football ruined by inept referees and the sight of ronaldo & co celebrating is devastating. Gutted for Gigi, what an awful way to bow out. Bayern last year, juve this year... Hope liverpool smash this bunch of cheats.

How was the referee inept? That was a clear penalty. As for Isco's goal that was disallowed, he was not even in an offside position when Ronaldo released the shot.

So, I just watched the highlight, come on people, that is a clear penalty. The Madrid guy shielded the ball well and he was in a good position to bury the ball. The Juve defender ran into him from behind with the right of his body while attempting to clear the ball with his left foot in front. Clear penalty and the penalty was well taken by Ronaldo, very nice penalty! had power, had placing, had height. Two keepers could not have stopped such penalty . what a calm finish from Ronaldo. well deserved!

charlesm91:
Similar thing happened to ronaldo at the super cup earlier this season and he was given his marching orders. I heard everyone say it was deserved well cos we all know it's Ronaldo. But now it's a divided case cos it's Buffon. Point is Buffon shouldn't have. He's experienced enough to handle situations like this

Yeah bro. i just learnt he touched the referee aside arguing and that is a straight well deserved red card.

Abatemtem:
take note he pushed the ref too

That is a straight red card offence according to FIFA rules. It will also come with further suspensions. thanks for the clarification sir. Red card well deserved.

Varys:
Buffon got a red card because he argued and shoved the Referee, it was Benatia who caused the penalty. BTW it wasn't a clear penalty, the foul is debatable. If it was a clear penalty I would not expect the referee to allow the game go to extra time.

Did he just argue or pushed/ touch the referee as well? If he was red carded for a mere argument, that is harsh but if he laid a hand on the referee, that is a red card offence. Let me go see the highlights. I am home now. Brb

Modified: I learnt he pushed the referee as well. That is a straight red card offence. Red card well deserved. As for the penalty, let me go look it up.

maverickdude:
U didnt see the match and u are talking like u saw it...smh
Buffon was sent off for argument not the foul,u go just dey defend blindly

Sending off Buffon for arguing is quite harsh I must say. I was actually following online updates . Talking about the penalty, what is your take on it? penalty or no penalty??

Varys:
I was skeptical about VAR all this while but now I am in full support of it.

Referee cannot continue to kill games!

I have nothing against Madrid. However, I feel the referee should have allowed the game to go to extra time. Let the best win.

What do you mean by..... Should have allowed? Not seeing the match but I can tell it was a clear penalty. Otherwise, Buffon wouldn't be red carded. Question now is, was it a penalty or not?? Nothing like should have allowed in football. That's emotional sentiments.

Ronaldo is such a brave dude for attempting the penalty. This is what real men do. Okocha once said that, he usually takes penalties for super eagles because most times, no one will be courageous enough to step up. He will be like, Taribo,u go play am? No, I no play. Oliseh you go play? No? So, he just had to do the playing all the time. By this, Ronaldo extends his records and becomes the first player ever to score in 11 consecutive matches at the champions league. No risks, no gain!

So sad. What a wicked world. Those robbers will never know peace. She didn't keep fit as a police officer.

Oluwasaeon:
I like Ronaldo more but I prefer Messi's type of football

Good. That does not in anyway mean that one is better. Comparing them is even awkward.

Oluwasaeon:
I appreciate and believe in hard work. And that is exactly why Ronaldo is just below Messi, otherwise...

The thread talks about Messi, you still found a way to tag Ronaldo along. I don't know why you guys that blindly thinks Messi is better than Ronaldo don't tend to use common sense and suffer from so much inferiority. Why didn't Messi score a "tap in" yesterday? In football, being at the right place at the right time is more important than moving about with the ball. My coach always says..... Let the ball do the running, that's why it can be played. All the so called tap ins Ronaldo was accused of took special techniques, he even places them and always check the run up, he has mastered the art of knowing where a ball is gonna be, that takes a certain level of genius. Even when Ronaldo scores with his head, fools will almost say he scored a head tap in . They say he is arrogant but Ibrahimovic is so arrogant yet, people like Ibra for his arrogance but hate Ronaldo for merely being proud of himself. These 3 seasons in the champions league, Ronaldo has lived up to all expectations and lifted his team when it mattered most. There is no basis for comparison. In the champs league, he has been more clinical, decisive and vital than the whole front line of the Barça team. Ronaldo is a personal inspiration and I usually say to myself that, if people can hate Ronaldo despite how good he is and despite the fact that he is the best footballer in the whole wide world, how muchmore me? It makes me worry less about haters. He scored one of the most executed bicycle kicks in history the last time and rather than just have fun and applaud him,these sore losers brought alot of unnecessary arguments. Ronaldo is currently on a class of his own. Messi isn't bad either. They are two classical players that play different styles. It depends on what appeals to you most. If an Artist made a player it would be Messi. If an Engineer designed a player, it would be Ronaldo. Messi is artistic, Ronaldo is a machine. Depends on your preference. As for me, I prefer the effective machine.

Abi now.

Get out.
You're a bad person.

This faceless forum is really giving little children the chance of insulting their elders.

chukxie:
If ( used in the subjunctive mood) a primary six pupil wrote this, such a child would have been flogged let alone ( not to mention ) an adult that blogs.

Note: In subjunctive mood, the main verbs take the past tense form.

PS: Above is how I would've written it.

Lol. I'm sure you clearly understand what my initial post was all about. There is a great difference between a terrible write-up and errors being found in a write-up. The OP blogs and it is a normal thing to get his write-ups checked by someone else. Would that be a crime? If we are to subject everyone's statement to a very thorough scrutiny, we will definitely see a couple of errors. Seeing errors in a write-up is so different from having a calamitous write-up. You may want to go back and read again.

PS: I do not need to be checking what I write so much because I'm not writing officially and I'm not blogging. However, for someone who is into blogging, some little checks here and there wouldn't be a bad idea. As for your corrections, thank you.

omoelerin1:
Keep shut jor. Your intention was to deride him because of the useless likes you would get.

Now that you too have been humiliated, this rubbish you're saying is just damage control.

What useless likes are you talking about. Humiliation? Permit me to laugh. So, because someone told me it is "talk more" instead of "talkless", that translates to humiliation in your head? You think everyone here is a kid like you. Didn't even think it would be moved to the front page. It was a barren thread when I commented.

haconjy:
Why are you after the errors instead of messages its carried. Bros this in Nigeria; so far u can communicate, then let go the errors....

Honestly, I'm not after the errors but just want him to get better. The write-up would have been far better if someone had gone through it as well. As you can see, someone corrected me too and I'm not impervious to learning like the OP. We're all here to learn. I'm pained because the topic seems very interesting.

symbianDON:
it's talk more not talkless.

Lol. Thanks. That's why one needs someone to always proof read. You know we are used to saying "talkless of" instead of talk more and all. This does not change the fact that the write-up wasn't properly checked. What I read was terrible.

Olusharp:
Bro I admit my errors but can you show me one thing you have ever written in your life?

Is this how you admit your errors? There is no short cut to success my dear. It takes efforts.
