Cristiano Ronaldo goal for Portugal against Sweden. Fabio Coentrao was stretchered off right afterward with what appears to be a hamstring injury.
How can I do this pass on fifa
PitbullsPublicist
Ronaldo is ridiculous with balls, as soon as he gets one the opposing teams seems to run around like headless chickens.
arey22
ScruffyLookinScoundrel
he did amazingly well but the through balls setting him up were all amazing passes.
xorn56
these through balls are insane
odeclas89
Superb passes by João Moutinho (1st and 3rd Goals)
YCiFawr
The sheer speed that this man possesses is quite frankly disgusting.
DrYmath
That's some nice camera work.
chillmike
He plays on the left, he plays on the right, that boy Ronaldo, makes Sweden look shite.
ubermatik
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!" or something to that effect.
cepacolusmaximus
That is some bitchin' camera tech!
SirAwesomeTheThird
Fuck...FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.....

h-heja sverige

Jag vill bara få ur mig det här: dra åt helvete fitthorbackar som låter Ronaldo få göra så där. Sådär. Bra spelat ändå av Sverige.

FYI, a hat trick is three scored goals a game.
zutgorak
the missing word is "consecutive"
SpicyMonkey
*3 goals by the same player
LesbianWieners
I assumed that was implied.
2arqu0n
Precisely, this is no clean hat trick. That would be 3 goals in one alf with no scores in between.
sevrin
It's not a clean hat trick. That's a natural hat trick. Halves don't enter into it, at all.
rocktrumpet
Perfect hat trick is one with the left, one with the right, one with the head. Geoff Hurst's is the most famous.
wildflower19
and here i was, being all ignorant and American-y, thinking hat tricks only happened in hockey. #FAIL
sevrin
It originated with cricket.
NotReallyJustKiddingIfOffendingAndNotACompliment
* half time
Frostels
Erm... A hat trick is 3 goals scored by the same person in the full game, not just one half...

"three goals in a half-time, all scored by the same player" (2/2)
NotReallyJustKiddingIfOffendingAndNotACompliment
"in einer Halbzeit drei Tore erzielt und zwischen dem ersten und dem dritten Tor kein anderer Spieler ein Tor schießt" means (1/2)
tolfer10
A hattrick is 3 goals during an entire game by the same player, not just a half.
NotReallyJustKiddingIfOffendingAndNotACompliment
No, that's NOT a "real" hattrick. Trust me, I'm European and I played Soccer.

TheHiggsBroson
Can we talk about those assists!
Atroypos
That third bend around the defenders is world class. He may be a great player, but he would not be where he is without assists like those.
MexicaninQatar
Well he has to move to create the space where the ball will be directed, while avoiding to be offside... not very easy.
WardSharlow
Seriously. Perfect passing just an instant before he goes offsides. Brilliant work.
SpicyMonkey
it's beautiful
silrog
For real. Ace passing by Moutinho. Excellent purchase that Monaco made there.
yerglion
we indeed can talk about the assists because they are a beautiful mixture of skill, teamwork, and accuracy
AssamLaksa
Yes! Look at the third one! It's like a guided missile!
arnesoai
I don't know why the defense is giving so much room for Ronaldo to run behind them. But great passes nonetheless.
Aveer
Moutinho!!! Watch for that midfielder!
somethingcatchyandoriginal
hell yeah we can!

The second was damn good, the first was fantastic, the third made me drool a bit.

but there were only 3 goals
StupendousMan6
I know. ;)

Yes. The pass on that third goal was terrific.

Can we talk about him faking a foot injury just to miraculously recover when the timing was right? Not that I am bitter or anything.

Read his autobiography. He seems much more human once you've gone through that. All he is, is a ghetto child.

I'll give you that, but damn, I've gained so much respect for him. Like when he explains no child should leave him without an autograph.

That is true :( Zlatan tried his best but again his teammates just weren't good enough.

As a swede it's soo true. We didnt deserve it

Once you've played football you get a real appreciation for just how good these guys are.

I'm not a soccer player or fan, but I really do admire these shots.
flugaisoppa
Well, he is a fucking diva. He is more of a actor than a football player.

A diva that has a bigger dick than you, has more money than, you gets more pussy than you, is admired world wide. Should I continue?
riffifi
I thought he was gay...
flugaisoppa
Well, actors have pretty high salaries.
NS0229
He used to be..mourinho cleaned him up. Sure he gets frustrated and shows it but his diving is 1% of what it used to be
Herrsepnat
1) Still a dirtbag. Who really is just stealing the glory from the great defensive portugis players.
Herrsepnat
2) Now when he gets because he can't score frustrated he makes sure to fuck up the goalkeepers leg (like in the first game against sweden)
Herrsepnat
3) Ronaldo has no honour at all. Not even a molecule. But really you shouldn't be suprised, there's no honour in southern-European football.
ermahgerdimergers
TIL honor is measured in molecules.
ermahgerdimergers
What does this have to do with foo... oh yeah, that's what you freedomless folks call soccer. I mean: Cheerio, you wanker. Bullocks!

You've gotta think about the fact that we are the only country that does not refer to it as some form of the word football.

Oh, and what, pray tell, is a bollock?

A bollock is a testicle. Bollocks are slang for testicles
sirmitchellrocks
Can we all just sit back and admire each pass?
Bombideer
I'm sitting back anyways waiting for the beginning of each gif :O
MightAsWellBeCanadian
Seriously though.
nyudo
It's like a string is tied from the ball to his foot when the pass happens. It just goes in the perfect place.
yerglion
can we take a second and admire the power in both the shots/passes?
ihatepeoplejustthat
why it is always a comment about what i was thinking?
Senatoruppercut
dat pass.
xCOMBATICUSx
Someone didn't skip geometry class...
azechini
As a midfielder, I agree with you wholeheartedly...but that 3rd goal, though!
FailToImpress
Admire the camera angle and movement
Hautamaki
Dude's got some wheels though, outruns the defender big time on every play, and perfectly placed shots at a full sprint, that's no joke.
TwentyFiveSchmekles
I totally agree. The assists were great.. but he still outruns 2-3 defenders and finishes. I hate Ronaldo but give credit where it's due!
lenchik
Can we all just sit back and admire the angle they are filled at? I have never seen it like that, only from the side
TDWPTWD
im loving it. i think it gives a better representation of the field and speed of the game
Renzin
Thankyou for mentioning the passes...damn I didn't realise how nice the set ups were

Not since the accident.

the 3rd one was insane

No shit, each of those passes was tremendous. Any idea who it was? Moutinho?

So true. Such great passes.

Yeah, whose deliveries were they?

The 3rd one was reminiscent of Kaka's pass to Crespo against Liverpool http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUksQSAicrc

Joao is a boss
DasAngst123456
I love you for this comment mostly because you used his first name. Joao is so underrated he's dope.
OF37
yes thank you, holy shit they put him in a perfect spot
drunoctis
Well, his positioning and his movement are also a part of the pass. But the 3rd pass is simply impressive.
OF37
you are right, as a defender I'd like to give credit to the assists or the play makers, because strikers get all the attention
CraigTheHoare
More impressive than the goals for me.
TwentyFiveSchmekles
I might disagree there.. it's not like he got a perfect cross in front of net. He ran downfield, took on the defense 1on1 and finished it.
ButterfaceTaintClown
Also, they're belting that ball at him hard. Astounding first touch, every time.
MafLoic
the first one and 3rd yes. the second one I go with the goal.
CraigTheHoare
Wow, didn't look properly, thought he went near post. The man's a wizard.
jesalr
I'd say that for the first his touch to take it in stride and at pace was better than the ball.
Escolerro
I love how I upvoted one comment and then realized the next commenter made a good point as well. Upvotes for everyone!

He's like 3 inches from being off-sides on each of those passes and it's beautiful that he isn't.
genesic
First one is great. 2 and 3 look like mistakes by the CBs.
Tyroin
Or noob defenders, yeah I'll go with that
alsowhatsaderp
I'm confused. Isn't he in front of the defender in both the second and third gif?
bbirbb
If you are in an onside position when the pass is released, you can move offside immediately if you are the intended target of the pass.
Lionskull
not when the pass is initiated.
erock6796
yeah...Idk how these aren't offsides..
hoorahforsnakes
because that's not how the offside rule works
rip4d
He wasn't past the defenders when the ball was passed.
spareseatonmyface
Because he isn't in front of the defender at the instant the ball is passed. Jesus, it's not a hard rule to get.
riffifi
I've thought about it and when people consider football as "running around kicking a ball", I get why they don't understand offside
spareseatonmyface
I mean, I got it the first time it was explained to me.......I was 4
