LYON, France — The ball soared in front of the goal and Cristiano Ronaldo jumped, his body hanging in the air for what felt like one beat, two beats, three beats, four. His chest was pitched. His back was arched. His eyes were forward, locked on the target.
Then, just as a Slinky hops down a staircase — its coils bending in one direction before whipping forward over the threshold — Ronaldo simply unspooled.
The contact was flawless. A sweetly struck free kick or a long, dipping drive has poetry, but there is nothing quite like the way a ball compresses when it rebounds from a man’s skull. Ronaldo snapped his neck, and the ball, as if it had engines attached, whizzed past the goalkeeper and rippled the net. The Wales defenders, beaten, dropped their heads. Ronaldo, gleaming, took off running
though the goal was a classic it sounds like you would let him bust a nut inside your mouth

Golden reply with a light touch.:D:D
These sport pudits have a way with words and painting a vivid picture… Reminds me of one I read about Payet’s wonder goal.
Poetic football?
Messi and Ronaldo are both superb players but they have been coming short during World Cup tournaments. The same tournaments that the likes of Sir Bobby Charlton, Pele and Maradona used to write their unfading legacy!
Boy…what a reply!!!
Portugal are real opportunists.
Portugal, like Chelsea in the 2012 UCL, will win the Euros
Sioni.
