Ridiculous, absolutely no right to save that

The Sunday Turbine did a great article on this back in the day, quoting all kinds of science boffins. These boffins never played the game, what do they know.

Newtons 4th law of motion

Acceleration = force/mass x wetness of grass

There was a big debate on tfk about this 15 years ago

Hopefully most saw sense and concluded the wet surface slows down the ball.

It’s known as a ‘greasy top surface’

Signing in again

France although defensively solid have been poor so far… I think Portugal will beat them 1 or 2-0

I also reckon the Portugooses will do them

Portugal would have a great chance if they dropped Ronaldo and kept him as an impact sub. I’d doubt Roberto Martinez will do that though.

Ronaldo crying was a pivotal moment in the euros… he felt he had let the portugese nation down and in showing that emotion has created a team spirit in this Portuguese squad that won’t accept defeat.

Not a hope portugal beat france. Not a hope.

Portugal loves Ronaldo and Ronaldo loves Portugal

They’ll fuck France right up
