World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

And even when CuraΓ§ao equalised,

you know, we all knew that Germany were going to run out and win that game.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

But I just thought to myself, any team that look at that Germany side there, you think if Kimmich does end up playing it right back and Anthony Gordon will be just absolutely, you know, if England do end up meeting Germany or any stage, but there's so many weak spots in that team.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

And I don't know, you know, unless there's a big change, but, you know, I didn't like to look at that Germany team.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

It didn't have a natural feel to it for me.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

And it didn't have an identity.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

Marginally better than that, Joe.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

I know.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

The point stands.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

I do agree with what you're saying.

World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

And it's up to him, though, to figure out how to deal with the Premier League.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

It's up to him to find out a way to be able to move the ball quickly enough.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

I mean, there's been lots of diminutive players played in his position.

You think David Silva there spent a lot of time over on the left-hand side, rolling inside.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

But he moved the ball so quickly.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

He was well able to bounce passes and keep people guessing.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

It's just that, from a defender's point of view, if someone rolls into a pocket and he keeps having four touches...

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

I mean, it's green light for you because he has four touches every time.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

When you play against the likes of David Silva or Hazard or these guys, you know, they roll into that pocket and you go steaming in and he bounces at one touch and you're like, oh my God, you know, then all of a sudden you're going to hold your horses.

Indo Sport
World Cup round-up | Exciting England & Portugal's Ronaldo problem | Damien Delaney

So it's up to him to learn and to be aware enough to know when to play one touch, when to play two touch, you know, keep playing one touch for the first 10 minutes of the game and people are going to leave you alone.
