Cristiano Ronaldo Maybe Shouldn't Be Taking Free Kicks

Cristiano Ronaldo is very good at sports, and, more specifically, very VERY good at soccer. Mostly.

Ronaldo has not had the best Euro 2016 so far, but his Portugal side is still in the semifinals so there's time for him to turn things around. One great way to do that would be to let someone else take free kicks.

"But Ronaldo is good at free kicks," you say. Not right now, he isn't.

I am taking this Twitter account's advice and telling Ronaldo to stop. Stop, Ronaldo.

This video contains my favorite moment from Euro 2016 thus far, at the end of the Iceland game when Ronaldo hits the wall and the ball pops up and the whistle blows and Ronaldo turns around in disgust and the ball bonks him on the head. Priceless.

Ronaldo will never, ever relinquish free kicks. He should, though, so Quaresma and/or Sanches can have a chance. This would move Ronaldo closer to the goal so he can do headers. He is much better at headers than he is at free kicks.
