There have been Portugal attacks that fizzle when the forced attempt to feed Ronaldo fails.
That's just not something you see with Argentina and Messi as he connects and extends attacks.
And that's setting aside the reasons to dislike CR7 as a person. (I want more rockets into the stands, though.)

I am ready for the CR7 barrage...from a safe, screen-mediated distance.
I hope those behind the goals are prepared.

CR7 is going to fire off so many bad shots trying to match Messi
