So the World Cup comes alive with a brilliant Ronaldo hatrick in a thrilling 3-3 draw between Portugal and Spain tonight. Ronaldo had taken 44 free kicks in the World Cup over 12 years and missed the lot, scoring just three goals in those three World Cups. But you could see in his eyes this one was going to be good. It was perfect, fizzing hrough a postage stamp of a gap over the wall and into the top corner like that laser torpedo that blows up the Death Star. The gnarly Diego Costa had also scored twice in the match but was taken off after 77 minutes. Then a Spanish defender took down Ronaldo with 86 minutes on the clock and he curled in the equalizer like a cricket seam bowler reverse swinging the ball inwards to smash the middle stump I'm convinced Portugal and Ronaldo will win the 2018 World Cup. Earlier Uruguay and Iran won their games in dramatic style with late goals in each of their matches. It was odd the three Muslim nations had to play so soon after Ramadan and the fasting season and could not have been 100%. Spain and Portugal will thrash the pants off Iran and Morocco in the same group..Uruguay have work to do but Cavani and Aguero up front they will soon fire. Look out Russia and Egypt.
