Tell him I said hi next time you speak to him.
Eh? I'm all in favour of bashing Chiles but he's absolutely spot on with his views on play acting. Not sure why you'd call him a cnut or a twat for that. In no other sport do you see play acting and blatant cheating like you do in football. Maybe wrestling. It's getting fecking embarrassing.
Off the field yeah I've heard his a really down to earth guy, but on the field his incredibly arrogant yet his one of my favourite players
Easy mate. The same Meireles featured on both portuguese teams that beat Bosnia in consecutive play offs. It doesn´t matter if there are better choices, Paulo Bento won´t pick them because he is a stubborn prick.
Ronaldo is poor today, but i won't talk about him because i don't admire his playing style. While i'm sad to see Messi being a shadow of himself.
Feck off Chiles.
That wasn't a dive.
I really don't like Pepe so not sad to see him go and honestly find it laughable when he reacts to things like that, given he'd still be on the floor if it were him. But it has killed them game which is annoying.
I get the point both sides are making for ITV. End of the day you shouldn't react but at the same time the play acting is always so frustrating too watch and doesn't need to happen.
In general though for Potrugal in their next game I think they need to get away from this get the ball to Ronaldo at all costs mentality. You can see it so obviously in how they play and players aren't making the best decisions due to it. He's probably got a better chance of scoring if they don't make him the target in every attack. He can then look to capitalize on his great movement/reaction to chances .

Clash of cultures.
Makes you wonder who won the Ballon d'Or and has more pressure at this World Cup?
gif of the girl jumping up and down please.
Portugal are the worst team in this world cup thus far. Disgraceful performance. Worse than Spain by a mile.
United States will defeat them.

He definitely isn't...lots of people getting a wrong impression here. VERY down to earth guy, possibly the least arrogant in Germany's starting eleven.
Lets ask Vieira what he thinks about racist chanting at football matches. Part and parcel of the game? Or something that needs to be eradicated?
I agree completely, possibly the only time in my life that I've agreed with Adrian Chiles
cracking birds to start us off.
He wasn't exactly bad in 2006.
Ronaldo is definitely not 100%. Bento should consider taking him off, 45 minutes is enough. Save him for the next matches.
Portuguese bird 
Of course, but it annoyed me that they barely bothered with any other incidents.
Well then you should ask why he's not making these points when England play - not lamenting him for making him now.
I realise it's easy, fashionable, and more or less, incredibly justified to have a pop at Chiles - but when he's actually doing his job well, seems a bit still have a pop.
Clutching his face when Pepe's hand brushed him.
Adrian Chile is a complete bell end...............
That is all!
That is all!
Pepe doing something cvntish is a shocker....
He's a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime mug.

Oh dear Portugal.
Well I think they will still qualify as 2nd and if they do, the funny thing is that they will probably get as far as Germany: both out in the semis.

Paulo Bento is a nutshell. He could put Carvalho and move Veloso to center back but instead he puts Ricardo Costa who is always a horrible player in our national team. God forbid if he put Carvalho to balance the midfield and prove he was wrong in the first place.
Agreed, it's over, no point in overworking your best players and risk further injuries.
This. Who's the designated giffer for this thread?
I know he did, but that was long time ago and he was probably least responsible for that, I just don't get it.
You might not see the play acting but you do see the cheating or attempted cheating. Players try and get away with all sorts in the NFL all the time.
Seeing as your post is the most recent I can see, what exactly is your issue with his point there?
Should have added that i was meaning with players in and around this squad.
Yes, at that time their squads were in the second tier, and both were pretty poor.
But most people on the forum seem to love Ronaldo more than Messi, so it's strange they don't have such high expectations of him. Blind fandom comes to mind..
It was play acting not a dive.
Chiles and Dixon are just being totally unrealistic though. They are being a pair of idealistic idiots and moaning at every decision that isn't perfect and its annoying.
Why? For actually doing his job properly and trying to get a debate about football going amongst his panel?
This is fecking mind-boggling...
Since when is that a sending off offence? I mean, yeah he was play acting, but you're making up rules here. Regardless of the play acting, I though Pepe's push in the face was sneaky enough as it is, from the right angle you could see him making a little fist and giving an extra shove to the face. It's such an annoying thing to do, typical Pepe. Glad he's off.
Looks like nani is playing as part of a midfield 3 in a di Maria type role
