The Mountain from ‘Game of Thrones’ is threatening to kill Cristiano Ronaldo

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Cristiano Ronaldo has a problem on his hands -- a very big problem. Hafþór “Thor” Björnsson, otherwise known as “The Mountain” from Game of Thrones learned that Portugal was playing his native Iceland in the first round of the European Championship and had a strong message for Ronaldo. Very strong.

“I know you’re playing against Iceland in the first game. If you dare to score against my teammates I will find you, and I will crush your head like I did with the Red Viper.”

Björnsson is speaking about his infamous fight against Oberyn Martell in which he crushed the man’s skull like an over-ripe melon. Come to think of it, Oberyn and Cristiano have a lot in common. Both are quick and agile, women love them and they have an affinity for fine-ass clothes.

In any event, this fight could probably happen. Ronaldo scoring isn’t exactly a rare occurrence, so let’s go to the tale of the tape!

RIP Cristiano. Sorry.
