Spain Vs Portugal - Best game of 2018 World cup?

in #football7 years ago

It is just the second day of the world cup and I should say this, we might have witnessed the best game this world cup has to offer. This ain't just about the way the game unfolded on the pitch but also about the drama that happened before the game. Firstly, SPAIN SACKED ITS COACH!! I mean who does that just before a day of an all important match? Answer; SPAIN's Football Association! And why? Because, he did not reveal he will be coaching the Real Madrid team next season. But how does this affect Spain's world cup exploits? Coming to Portugal now, Ronaldo finds himself in Tax scam. Just before the match, Ronaldo is accused of tax fraud and he agrees to pay a huge lump-sum to Tax Authorities. You'd guess this would have some effect on his game right? May be it did! I personally have never seen Ronaldo have such a big say in a WC game. Spain played some beautiful football. Isco was breathtaking. Iniesta and Costa sublime! But the headline still reads Spain 3 - Ronaldo 3. Yes! football is a team sport! But people like Messi and Ronaldo make us question this thought! image.png
For me this was the best game because we saw 2 aspects of the game in 1 match! Spain played football like it is supposed to be played. And Ronaldo played this game the way he can play it. Let me know your thoughts guys.
