    What is Bruno playing at? A free kick followed by a corner and barely got either one off the ground. Woeful.

      After the free kick was awarded the announcer said "This is Ronaldo range!" Haha.

      Kane has a couple of goals and I'd cut Mbappe some slack for his broken schnozzle. Lukaku had the ball in the net a few times. Let's go with Ronaldo. For now.

      Mbappe has returns. Kane has returns. Lukaku should have returns, but they were disallowed.

      Ronaldo has had tons of chances to score, but has failed in all of them. He only has a single penalty kick contest goal in his belt.

      So I'd say Ronaldo so far.
