Zidane's volley was obv impeccable technically but when watching it I can never shake the feeling that it should've been saved. Loses a few points for me.

Does anyone have a total cost of the starting XI from last night?

Bale's goal > Cristiano's v Juve imo, seemed much harder to score

It's the reaction time that makes Bale's goal so ****ing good imo. That ball was coming at him fast.

if last year's thread is anything to go by, friendly advice : unsuscribe now because RITS is going to be posting celebrating pictures until mid-June and the start of the WC where he'll be fully focusing on Romania

The majority of Liverpool fans are awful and don't deserve nice things.

I thought this would be an easier thing to fix, but it doesn't seem so at the moment.

This RM has a manager that all players respect.

They're used to dealing with Ronaldo and his narcissism. Neymar can't possibly be worse.

Marcelo, who is the true boss of the locker room, when Ramos isn't paying attention, will kick his ass if he gets out of line.

If all else fails, they can bring in Roberto Carlos to teach him to party responsibly (and which escort services to use).

I ran the current market values on transfermarkt before the game at it was 325m vs 605m if I remember correctly

I think you mean second to none, next to none means the opposite.

loved his game, the perfect example of why he shouldn't be considered RM's 9/striker/whatever, he's not one. we do need a solid backup tho.

What do you think of these odds? I don’t think this is one of those years that Ron wins just because he won the UCL since its a wc year and he did nothing in the ucl final.
I think Salah have no chance after yesterday. Messi only wins if Argentina wins the WC which is unlikely.

And these are the only 3 players that bookies are giving a real chance.

Kroos @ 251 sounds good with Germany favs to win the WC and he already won the UCL.
If Brazil wins Neymar is a near lock to win so 16 looks good.

Kroos won the CL in 2014 as well, was pretty much the best player on the world cup winning team and didn't come close to the Ballon d'or. Not sure why it'd be different this year, maybe Ronaldo being less dominant?
