He should have stepped up and taken the first but more glory in taking the 5th
Taking the last one like Ronaldo to get the glory

I genuinely think the winner of England v France goes on to win the tournament

And that’s the big thing! Everyone’s commenting saying he takes the fifth, fifth means f all if anyone misses before. Best takers should go first, stop all this glory hunting.

Not harsh at all. Happily danced his way into the quarter finals but doesn’t step up early and get his peno done - after the glory of the 5th and being the hero / making the headlines - glad he never got to take it. Byeeeeeee Neymarrrr go back to your farmers league

I don’t like either of them ? what’s fake about Ronaldo? (Other than his dives - although Neymar is probably worse at that)

I mean Ronaldo was absolute class, but CR7 is top 5 best of all time, top 2 for many.

What a great end to that game. Delighted to see Brazil go out! The arrogance they showed with their pathetic dancing the other day summed them up - bunch of clowns. You do that stuff after you win the trophy. Forget about their 'culture', which used to be winning World Cups, now it's behaving like giant manbabies.
As for Neymar.......LOL!

This is the narrative you are writing in your own head though. You have no idea that he wanted to take the final penalty purely for the glory. You have no idea that the coach, and his team mates stood aside and agreed he should have the glory. It is only a narrative that sounds nice when people don't particularly like a player, and sounds great in hindsight.
For all you know, the team agreed to have their best penalty taker last. Not for the glory, but because they felt the pressure could be at it's most at that point. After all, the first penalty is never do or die, but the 5th penalty often is.
We have seen countless times the best penalty taker go last. Only if that team lose, it is criticised. Funnily enough, never is if that team win.
It is funny, and sort of sad, how we all love to rip people to pieces for the most trivial issues. It is almost like we take more pleasure in the pain of the Brazilians, than the pleasure we get from the joy of the Croatians
