One last time. He always takes the 5th.
Really!
"It was just a question of me speaking with the coach. He said to me, 'Do you want to take the fifth one?' and I said 'yes'. Sometimes I take the first, the second or the third. I agreed to take the fifth.

If you include last night he would have taken the 5th for three shoot outs in a row so I'm going by that. Maybe it's just for Portugal but it's been like that for years.
Hoody, not denying that mate, but they were Ronaldo's words. Everyone is saying the coach only spoke to his staff, but that is obviously not true. Like I said Ronaldo chose to take the 5th penalty.
Let's draw a line under this now. Jeez I was only saying what I thought!
I'm confused that UEFA have decided to have a freekick shoot out rather than a penalty shoot out

Didn't he miss the last time he took the first penalty in a shootout? Might've been a psychological thing. Pundits look way too much into this whole penalty taking thing and what the hell would most of them even know about the intense pressures involved especially given the man's reputation and with all that was at stake, it is very very difficult to put yourself in the same position and to be able to pass judgement.

Maybe it's so ronaldo can take them ALL!
I am stating why Ronaldo didn't take an earlier penalty, as the BBC pundits said they didn't know why.

This is because the BBC employs pundits who generally do not have a clue.
Lawro and some other idiot actually had England down to beat Italy on penalties.
