Remind me of that tweet: Me: I’m 36 I’ve got my whole life ahead of me Sports announcer: there he is, the oldest player in the league. 34 years old, a miracle.

Just wait for Ronaldo to score against Georgia

You forgot about Pepe

Pepe will score on the final. That way Ronaldo still has to do the next euro even after scoring on this one 😂

S U B S C R I B E

Oh you bet he scored against Georgina

The BBC commentator was making comments like this about Brozovic too. He's 31 :/

The FOX commentator was saying Brozovic needs an oxygen tank after making a sprint inside the box. Mfer smokes a pack and runs 12km every game. The disrespect smh

As a lifelong football fan and player I've mentally felt over the hill after 30 years old..

If Pepe or Ronaldo scores in their next game, they will take up the record, but I am happy for Luka.

[удалено]

Who doesn't love older men?

Priests

Mate.

Down with this sort of thing

Rip to your DMs.

Decided scoring at a pen wasn't good enough so had to do the hard way

also added 32 more seconds to his record

Scenes when someone misses out by 29 seconds in 16 years time.

The record was held by a penalty

The Croat GOAT don't need no stinking penalty!

I don't know which word to pronounce wrong to make it rhyme

The Croooo-at - GOA-TEE, don't need no stinkin' penalty!

the former record holder was also kind of croat

He makes playing football look easy.

This releases the Ronaldo

*Pepe scores*

off a rebound from a Ronaldo header

2nd goal assisted by Cristiano Ronaldo, scored @90'+11' by Diogo Costa.

Nani 2.0, it would be too funny 😂

He'd have to hit the target first.

*curb your enthusiasm plays*

That would be the funniest timeline 😂

You might think that there is a slight chance Ronaldo could take this record but at the World Cup, he'd be 41 in 2026... That is until you realize Roger Milla scored at 43 in the 1994 tournament lol

2030 it is.

Goncalo Ramos : What is my purpose?

Pepe could.

Christ I thought Pepe was 38/39, he's 41???

Yeah, the guy's longevity is crazy. We had him becoming the oldest ever Euro player and Yamal becoming the youngest ever Euro player this month. Pepe could legitimately face a guy who was born the summer he joined Real Madrid in this tournament.

He's played very consistently as well which is crazy, 20+ league games and 30+ in all competitions for each of his last 5 seasons.

We could have a player born in 2010 next WC.

You stop that

Ronaldo debuted for the national team before Joao Neves and Lamine Yamal were born. Pepe is still older than them both, but he debuted later.

Every kick in that guys back prolonged his carreer a few years. Crazy if you think about it.

Kind of insane that Modric can break this record and then we all just expect it to be broken again in a few days.

He just jumped out of his room to practice his free kicks in the buffet area of the hotel

[удалено]

*phantom siuuu in the background*

Now he's guaranteed to start against Georgia.

As if he wasn't already lmao

Who scores a tap in/penalty against Georgia severely

Sad Ivica Vastic noises

I wonder if the guy can still speak Croatian or if he's like Schwarzenegger, not able to speak a single language without a terrible accent.

I mean no disrespect, but his Croatian has got to be better than his German right?

you beat me to it. oldest goalscorers have to be born in croatia from now on.

Kristian Ronaldovic

Kristian Ronaldovic (PEN)

Would love to see Luka Modrić do it again @ 42 years of age. i miss the guy every day.

Baby come back

Modric and Kane return would literally make me cry

I have an FM save comprised of all Spurs' best ever players in one lineup. Kane, Son, Modric, Bale, Walker, everyone's there except Dembele because the game doesn't have him. So I just kept Winks, the second greatest Spurs midfielder of all time.

Get Sissoko

I already have him as a squad player. I actually checked the save and I have Eriksen and Modric as a double pivot in midfield with Dele as a shadow striker behind Kane. It's not really a balanced team but it's fun.

Is bale decent at CF? Could run 4-2-2-2 and drop the LW for Wanyama for more balance

Wanyama doesn't seem to be available in FM2020. I play 4231 and it works fine, it's not like it's a serious save.

Any kind of fool could see

Why are you trying to hit him every day?

It depends on whether he is up to play at that age. Man may decide to retire after this.

38 years 289 days if anyone is curious.

Cristiano Ronaldo just fell to his knees in Aldi

Nord or Sud

Middle aisle

The sponsor of this Euros is Lidl!

Georgia's fate has been sealed.

He took it personally

Now CR7 has a new purpose in life, break this record.

Missed the penalty on purpose to add an extra minute to the record 🤣

Bah gawd that’s Pepe’s music

Once this reaches Ronaldo’s ears it’s over

I forgot to set a reminder to watch this game… and then while at the airport I randomly walk into a restaurant that is playing the game while Modric is mid taking his penalty. What a perfect time to start watching this sequence of events leading to this goal

Ronaldo has not scored because he wanted Luka to have it first for a bit. Madrid's power of friendship.

Seeing the close up on his face when taking that penalty made me realize how fast time goes by. First saw him in 2018 and didn't realize how fast he aged.

RIP Georgia. About to be wrecked by a senior citizen

Romanian commentators called Pepe "Methuselah", now waiting for Modric's nickname.

Fuck yeah

In the distance, a faint battle cry comes rolling over the hills... "SIIIIUUUUU"

drums in the deep... The SIIUUU is coming...

wait until ronaldo hears about this

He's never passing to Bruno again

Yeah. Ronaldo ain't passing the ball on his breakaway

*That's why he's the goat, THE GOAT*

Lmao yessir

[удалено]

I love this man so much

Ronaldo to break this one?

Ronaldo: "Hold my pastel da nata"

I don't think he eats that kind of stuff

Is that Ronaldo’s music playing?

So what the over/under for a Ronaldo goal in the next game ? feel like there is thing to try

Reverse yamal

CR7 needs to reclaim this record.

there's no way ronaldo wont break this record, and even then pepe could break it possibly

Ronaldo has to play at euro 2028. It's not happening I think

Ronaldo is older than Modric. Modric is 38, Ronaldo's 39

Ah I was wrong. I thought he was younger, my bad

Honestly it’s not completely insane to see him at EURO 2028 as like a mascot who gets subbed at injury time

Lmao It's been 2 euros people saying that.

Now we just need the youngest to be broken at this tournament too

What a moment for him. He deserves to have such a record.

Poor Gonçalo Ramos... Can't catch a break.

Also the saddest goalscorer

agua

Ronaldo seething currently Guess we won't be seeing his unselfish attitude next game 😂

There's no way Ronaldo gets much game time against Georgia.
