Cavani used the same term as Suarez. No malicious intent by either.
You canāt be sure of that. I would give CR7 much more game intelligence in such a situation to realise he may be offside and not interfere with a certain goal.
I would imagine the Club bent over backwards to facilitate this. Had he been told he was getting another number you canāt be certain it would have mattered a jot.
Tis gas, are you not one of the biggest virtue signalling far left cunts here? But true to your nature hypocrisy and contradiction are never too far away. Everyone knows exactly what Suarez is none more so than himself.

Lolz, Ronaldo not the only one who canāt see the irony. Read that back to yourself.
Id say you have the Suarez T shirt tucked away inside the hot press next to the BLM one? Ffs.
You have little enough to occupy your mind but enough to fill it.
Aye the silence is deafening here.
Australia vs Denmark the obvious 3pm fixture today.
A night shift annoyingly getting in the way of the Poland Argentina game tonight
This is some climbdown from big Ron. Egg on the face of piers, Roy, Rio and the gang who thought there would be a clatter of big clubs after him too.
Its almost like united were goaded into making a massive error in signing him.
I doubt anyone disputes that. The strange thing was some highly respected ex players and managers still thought he was a serious top level operator and that it was ten hag was in the wrong.
He was Uniteds top scorer the season before, he led the line brilliantly for Portugal against Uruguay, no wonder he lost the plot looking in at sancho, rashford and anthony stinking the place out of it

And guess where heās fromā¦ Yup, Cork.
Roy Keane will blow a gasket
Two groups down and, in both groups, the teams who had something to hang onto and only needed a draw to progress ended up losing.
Ecuador were massively disappointing against Senegal. They played for a draw then, and deserved fuck all. They had outplayed the Dutch when they actually went and had a go.
Then Iran, ripped Wales to shreds, and, by all accounts, sat back until the US scored last night. Then they had to come out but itās hard to change a mindset mid-game.
Today, Poland only need a draw against Argentina. I expect them to use similar tactics. Australia similar against Denmark.

Cavani?
Do you think the shortish turnaround in tournament football allied with sweltering conditions is affecting teams? Are teams targeting some games over others like GGA teams do in certain rounds of the hurling and football league?! Certainly a mindset angle too but Ecuador seemed to have nothing in the tank yesterday after giving the Dutch a chasing the other day. Senegal, meanwhile, barely exerted themselves in a forgettable opener agains the Dutch and had a handy enough win against the Qataris. They might have been fresher and saving themselves for a likely qualification decider. I dunno, thereās probably factors to contradict this too - the US have been on the front foot in all games. That said, they couldnāt sustain that high tempo in any of them.
if Mexico beat the Saudis that group is blown wide open. Poland will need not to lose then you reckon
Maybe, I donāt really know on that.
I think the conditions definitely do a play a part, and, realistically, itās probably a combination of both things. In fact the mindset thing is probably even harder to switch up if the bodies & minds are tired. You go in, youāre focused on defending well, not conceding a goal and then you let one in. Itās a big psychological blow and itās hard to summon the energy to completely change the way you were playing and take the game to the opposition.
Heās definitely still a very good player, given he is the greatest goalscorer in the history of the game and he keeps himself seriously fit. But itās absolutely QED for the argument that heās not top top level anymore that no serious or champions League club is willing to sign him even on massive wages.
