Poor Messi.

Cristiano Ronaldo is taking ownership of the World Cup but where does this leave his great rival Lionel Messi?

Ronaldo now has four goals in his most successful World Cup, but Portugal may not even make the next round as they face a final match against the dogged Iranian side managed by the “excellent coach” Carlos Queiroz.

But what will Ronaldo’s goals do for Messi ahead of Argentina’s critical game against Croatia on Thursday? And will Pepe be fit to play for Portugal against Iran after that late cowardly blindside attack on Wednesday?

 

On episode 5 of the JOE World Cup minipod, Paddy McKenna and Dion Fanning discussed Messi, Ronaldo, Roy Keane and Carlos Queiroz.

  • How far can Spain go?
  • Will Messi be able to respond to Ronaldo’s latest challenge and what have the Pet Shop Boys got to do with it?
  • And has Sepp Blatter done enough to be forever welcomed in Ireland?
