RE: CR7 criticism:
It's a tough situation:
1) if he took the first one and missed, ppl would have been like "gosh why is he such an ego-mniac...didn't he already miss a crucial pen already? He should have let someone else take it for the good of the team" OR
2)If he took the 1st one and missed he would again get the choker tag that iBra often gets by the media
I don't particularly blame him. He probably could have done better with the free kicks though.
Football is becoming INCREDIBLY dull and cynical. The #1 goal is no longer to win but NOT to lose
