JFK-1 1,693 Posted May 28, 2016 Author Share Posted May 28, 2016 Yeah, not an egomaniac at all. I agree. He is one of the greatest players of all time but he's not a 100% team player, it's more about him than it is about the team. His penalty was magnificently taken and maybe even the best of an exceptional bunch but there were others out there on the night far more deserving of the praise he was looking for and got simply because he hit the winning penalty. He should be taking the first penalty not the last to get the ball rolling with a good start. He did exactly the same thing at the 2012 Euros semi when it came down to a penalty shoot out between Spain and Portugal. He chose to take the final penalty exactly like he did tonight and he didn't even get to take one because their first kicker missed to put them up against it right from the start and Portugal were out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
