    That goal was pure sex materialized.

    He is getting himself a new contract at Monaco as we speak I am sure. They know the vultures(Madrid, Barca, Milan, etc) are circling.

    He was beastly at Porto from what I saw of him. That Monaco move might have been a year too early.

    And Colombia's 'best' player couldn't make it b/c of an injury. This team is legit. ...and the world cup needs its women in the 2nd round.

    Considering he went to Monaco for 45 million Euros last season, I don't see him moving anytime soon. It would take an insane sum for him to move, and Monaco isn't hurting for money.

    As someone who has scored a lot of goals in my life, this is the perfect way to explain it.

    45 million Euros seems like an absolute steal right now.

    Like someone else already said, it's been that way for years. Even a World Cup Final was decided on penalty kicks....

    That's the cool thing about penalty kicks since there's so much tension, pressure, and controversy. It's 1v1 of a player and the goalie. Yeah, there may be some luck involved by trying to guess where the ball will go, but your goalie can usually decide the game for you.

    It's not immense luck. There is still skill involved and, especially in this type of situation, is extremely stressful. I've been there in tournaments and championship games no where near this level and it was difficult to maintain focus.

    Suarez on the alleged biting incident...

    "After the impact ... I lost my balance, making my body unstable and falling on top of my opponent...At that moment I hit my face against the player leaving a small bruise on my cheek and a strong pain in my teeth."

    I guess he just...fell?

    Thoughts?

    Child Please!

    I don't even... I can't even. Enough with that fool. He, his team and his country think everyone else is Stevie Wonder.

    I've used a similar excuse when going Anne Hathaway on my ex.

    Dude, AND they aren't even starting their two best strikers AFTER Falcao (Other than Martinez).
    I think Bacca and Ramos are better than Gutierrez.

    Contract being torn up and rewritten I'm sure. Higher salary, higher release clause. His agent(also CRonaldo's agent) must be salivating.
