Evidence

Jesus

I can’t imagine many of his teammates actually like the egotistical #@&%!.

Genuinely think this last year has sent him a bit tweaked.

Imagine presenting a case to take a goal off a teammate. Oooh. He’s a winner. He just wants to win. Unless he hasn’t scored of course.

Imagine the tantrum he was having in the dressing room ffs

That's just £#%&!ing embarrassing tbh

He's the footballing equivalent of one of those "friends" that always has to outdo you, in any scenario.

"I had a triple bypass last year"
"yeah well i had a quadruple bypass last month"

Some poor fifa official having to go into the dressing room and tell him.

“Hi, knock knock! We have, erm, some news…”

Looking forward to the Ronaldo vs technology lawsuit

Clear as day on the replay he didn’t score it, the balls trajectory and spin never alters even the tiniest bit, so he had no contact.

If it did brush a hair it’s still not his goal as he’s made no change to where the ball was going.

However, Adidas, who provide the official Al Rihla ball for the Qatar World Cup, have a 500Hz IMU sensor inside the ball which didn't detect a touch from Ronaldo's attempted header.

An Adidas statement read: "In the match between Portugal and Uruguay, using the Connected Ball Technology housed in Adidas’s Al Rihla Official Match Ball, we are able to definitively show no contact on the ball from Cristiano Ronaldo for the opening goal in the game.

"No external force on the ball could be measured as shown by the lack of ‘heartbeat’ in our measurements.

"The 500Hz IMU sensor inside the ball allows us to be highly accurate in our analysis."

Sensors measure a 3-axis angle, angular velocity and acceleration on the ball, helping to determine specific goal speeds for graphics used at the tournament, for example. Sensors also help in determining whether a player has touched the ball for offside and VAR checks - what the German manufacturer perhaps didn't envisage was becoming embroiled in working out who the last player to touch the ball for a goal was.

An unequivocal ’£#%&! You’ to Cristiano from Adidas there

Yeah I'm sure I'll take the word of adidas a company founded by literal nazis over that of Bruno fernandes who insists its Ronaldo's goal.

Think Bruno doesn’t want the grief pal. A bit like when the Mrs insists she’s right on something and you don’t want the headache of disagreeing. Something you’d know if you weren’t a total virgin.

Genuine question, Joe:

Are you alright?

No need for name calling, it's totally uncalled for and out of line.
