The Football.....

He didn't pass it very far.

(Brilliant player, as i'm sure I've said before - but he IS quite one-footed, which always jars with me when I watch a top player. Maradonna was the same. Don't get me started on defenders making sliding tackles with the "wrong" foot ... )

If you say so.

If you say so.

What's your view?

I’d liked to have seen the goal Ronaldo scored using his penis! 😲
Or maybe not. 😐

Messi isn't one footed......he has scored nearly 100 goals with his right foot and god knows how many assists too....

I don't dispute the existence of his other foot. That's not what "one-footed" (or indeed "quite one-footed" ) means in a footballing context.

If I ever meet Messi, I will be sure to say: "I've got nothing against your right leg."

I'd rather see Messi's hand/arm goal. (and I'd like to know who classified it!) And was he booked for it??

84% is pretty one-footed IMO. He CAN use his right foot, but obviously nowhere near as well as his left, or the proportions would be much closer - I'd say anything much over about 60-65% with one foot means you are fairly one-footed. Even the Ronaldo numbers there are in that borderline area.

I wonder if he'll retire if they don't win?

This. Which that pie chart shows quite clearly. There's nowt wrong with it, but he clearly favours his left peg.

Currently, from my upstairs window, the sun creating a dappled sunlit pattern on the fallen leaves. The sunlight giving false impression to what is a very cold day.

if we go on goals only by which ever foot ....it would be

Messi 87% left
Ronnie 79% right foot

Ronnie does pretty well for someone so one-footed, in my opinion!

they both have....but messi may well add something ronnie will never win

Yup. Better in the air too, but considering Messi is an HGH enhanced midget that's understandable.

As for his penis based proficiency...

C'mon chaps, surely today's hottest talking point is that FC Utrecht have sacked trainer Henk Fraser for having a barney with a player (punch and strangulation, fatal only to Fraser's career fortunately). Is this good (he was a lousy trainer and the football was dire) or bad (fired mid season)?

Gio van Bronckhorst said to be in the running to replace him,.

Expected more from Croatia to be fair, started well enough?
