As a Portuguese top comment on Reddit said: "Our Portugal National team feels like a Make a Wish program for Ronaldo to fulfill his individual dreams" 😆
You are not portugais donky 😂
Ronaldo is greedy. 39 year old playing all the minutes. Young players deserve a chance in that Portugal team
Well the fact that they aren’t at his caliber to start says something so stfu
I think it was quite clear how greedy and self obsessed ronaldo is when he started against georgia when portugal had already qualified for r16 and it was the perfect game to try the bench especially ramos. He thought he would bang some easy goals against poor georgia but then he was so bad that he had to be subbed after which he started throwing tantrums.
Ronaldo was the biggest liability in the field. He was non existent. Had Ramos or Jota played, Portugal may have advanced.
Martinez seems to be pandering to Ronaldo for a coaching gig at Saudi.
Yeah... With a better manager they would’ve easily reached finals or even won it...Martinez is awful.
Thru out the tournament Portugal are playing with 10 men.. Everyone can see except coach or staff
Jota wud have made the difference
@@muralidharanj2857 and blind Ronaldo fans also can’t see he doesn’t add much. It’s sickening
Nah, he performs pretty okay i think.. older, a bit slow and a little wasteful, but he can attract 2-3 defenders..
Portugal problem is they often isolate him to much
Summary
0 goals in Euros
1 Bluetooth goal in WC
Conclusion: Both tournaments have lost CREDEBILITY
2 goals, 1 assist mr ignoramus

Well, 2 complete different petsonalities
@@dani-ht3pkan incompetent fool commenting about a narcissist
The Qatar World Cup should have been enough of a wake up call about Ronaldo’s decline. Stat padding in a third rate Saudi league and the hype from his fanboys deceived a lot of people. Portugal are wasting an elite squad by catering to a 39 year old diva that still believes he’s the best in the world.
it's time to step down and let portugal rebuild
@@dani-ht3pk The pieces are mostly there minus the massive hole Pepe will leave behind, so we'll need to appoint someone pragmatic like Mourinho if anything is to ever come from this generation of players.
you think you're smart scuking messi's little p3nis? everbody in the world knows hes 39 and the coaches arent stupid. What he has given to the football world throughout his career alone qualifies him to get his chances, because there wont be another christiano perhaps forever. Its just like watching motogp and valentino rossi, they made him stay until 40 though his career was long over. Its an honor to let them stay as long as they can, people would still view. What the Fcuk you know about sports and honor? its fcukers like you ruined the football fan world

The real GOAT here is luminarath, the guy leaked the correct scores of the entire Euro 2024 and all were correct so far. We will all be depressed when they cancel him for spreading this info to the people.
one and only the goat
he will never be forgotten
He's been wrong on every account lol. He's fraudelent
For any real person reading this, this is fake
Maybe the euro is rigged/scripted. Just like the 2022 world cup .
Many people won’t like to hear this but the only impressive thing about Cristiano Ronaldo’s International career is the remarkable longevity. His goals per game record doesn’t compare to the greats. His performances in major tournaments average at best. Big k/o games, awful.
it's even worse now as he is old and can't keep up physically
Well, Ronaldo wasn't Portugal's main talisman until about 2009 or so. That's 5-6 years where he was playing out wide to accommodate people like Pauleta, Rui Costa, Deco, and Figo. When that Golden Generation retired, Portugal didn't have many attacking options, so, naturally, Ronaldo became the target man. I will maintain the stance that Ronaldo should have retired from the national team in 2016. End it on a high, instead of seeing yourself become the villain. He will always be adored for putting Portugal on the map, but as of right now; there's a sour taste in our mouth. We're a small country after all. Not a powerhouse nation like Brazil, Spain, Germany, France or Argentina.
@@SLSAMGbut he didn’t put Portugal on the map. He brought fame to Portugal on a different level. Eusebio put Portugal on the map in the 60s with his contributions to benfica and the national team. They fell off hard and were put back on the map by Figo, Rui Costa, Maniche, Nuno Gomes. Ronaldo then launched off the platform they built and took it to a different level. But his fame and star power blinds his fans. He’s never had a great tournament for his country.
@@miked2075He was by far the best player for them in most of the European championships
It’s a team sport bud. You’re only as good as your team. Portugal has never had depth in all positions. Look at Argentina, Spain, Germany…they’re history has always had lots of game changers.

5 dubious pens and an Emi Martinez carry job is the standard for Messi putting in a crazy performance? ROFL 😂 imagine stooping so low... to lower the standards of a player of his calibre. Have some shame..
@@SLSAMG lmaooo we fee your pain it’s okay 🤣🤣
@@SLSAMG No, being 35 and playing a key role in helping win your country a world cup is the standard. Fact is, even without penalties Messi scored or assisted in every knockout phase. He scored in open play in the round of 16, made two great assists in the quarter final and semi final, while also scoring in open play in the final. People like you praise CR for his 3 goals and assists at the Euro's, yet for Messi you like to pretend he didn't have the same number of non penalty direct goal involvements, and instead just focus on those pens. Also, none of those were more dubious than the one CR got against Ghana, which was his only goal of the tournament.
Messi is 37. He should honestly move before same thing happens to him. I m a Messi fan, by the way.
@Johno9099 key Role when fifa is riging you a worldcup 😂😂😂😂 Messi was finished at barca way before the worldcup was handed to him. Ronaldo has been finished since leaving united both finished end of story end of an era.
Yes yes he did but also Martinez, imagine having Felix Ramos and Jota at your disposal and keeping a delusional 39y who just like his fanbase still thinks he's the goat.
Lost me at Felix and Ramos. Both are TRASH. Felix is very inconsistent and Ramos lives off that hattrick against Switzerland. Only one better than Ronaldo is Jota who should have started every game.
@@lolph5438Ramos is a better option than Ronaldo. Right now he is trash. Ramos wouldn’t be holding back the team, he would add to it.

100% they would have done better without ronaldo... dude scored no goals and hes not a playermaker so.. yea should have been out
yeah messi played just as bad against ecuador but messi is injured so you can have somewhat of exucse.. still if messi play like that next game yeah he should be subbed out... thats all even if messi and ronaldo are the goats that does not mean you cant sub them out... team b4 player! thats something that portugal cant seems to understand
They did score the only goal of messi's corner
The problem is that Ronaldo and Messi are bigger than the team. I can guarantee you if Messi goes to the next world cup and behave like Ronaldo did in this tournament he'll be trashed too. The last game Messi shouldn't have played at all but he ignores the team and played for personal records. Yes I think both Messi and Ronaldo still feel like they're in competition with each other. I'm sure if Ronaldo retires today Messi will retire by the end of the year.

No penalty for Portugal and no own goal for France. These two strikers not showing up made the game a boring one to watch.
No penalty for Portugal? Portugal? Come on, say it right...😏
Ronaldo is the main problem of Portugal.
As soon as he retires, Every coach will make this team better.
even his fans can see that
You have no idea how the Portuguese FA operates, so you shouldn't be inflicting your uninformed opinions on the matter. There's issues that go well beyond Ronaldo.
@@SLSAMG Being a huge Ronaldo fan, it is very upsetting to see how he is behaving like that at the end of his marvelous career. So stubborn and rigid to mould for the betterment of His National team.
He is too emotional and greedy for his personal gains that he cannot see beyond that.
I don't feel good to say these things but alas we see these things time and time again, first in Euro 2020, then WC2022, then this Euro 2024.
Sometimes, we should understand that someone's emotions are not more than the bright future of his own national team.
He is stopping great players like Ramos, Jota etc. even to appear in matches.
He doesn't move, that's evident, it is like playing with 10 men and one on red card.
Portugal national team is paying for the personal greed of Ronaldo.
That's a shame.
The guy scored 50 goals last year which Mbappe didn’t despite the absence of Messi and Neymar…
Sadly, he was playing alone against France. They couldn’t find him once…
@@techsamurai11in saudi league cmon now 🤣 those goals haven’t won him a trophy this season
Penaldo is an overrated tap-in / penalty merchant
He is over rated. No questions. But there’s no reason to take a dig at his tap ins. You need to be immaculately positioned to tap in. To score so many goals from such close ranges is a testament to his ability to be rightly positioned. That’s really a quality trait.
He is top player, well past his prime. But, yes, overall he is rated higher than he should be for his abilities.

Can’t be worse then rotating 9 players on the last match of GS and keeping CR7 in.
He gave G.Ramos 15mins without playing the main squad and a different formation 😂
If you want to know if Ramos can suddenly get tournament pop up as a better striker to replace Oldnaldo you give him the opportunity as starter for 90mins and your go to squad 🙄
I am Portuguese and I love Ronaldo and everything he has done for Portugal, every Portuguese should be proud of him but everything has an end. Enough is enough, everything is about Ronaldo, all the spotlight goes to him, I really think he is draining the team unfortunately. What he has done for Portugal in the past, we should feel proud of it but what matters is the present. How on earth did he play 120 minutes today? The whole tournament? He is not the same, he should acknowledge that. He still has a spot on the team obv but either needs to start on the bench and come in or be substituted when he is not performing, but no, all that matters is his records, ego and status....but let me tell you guys he is not the only one. This Portugal federation is rot, all that matters is the money. Jorge mendes does whatever he wants as well, Ronaldo too....Why do you think a coach like Mourinho could never train Portugal right now? Because he would not tolerate this. Thats why they chose martinez. Look what happened to Fernando Santos when he decided to bench Ronaldo....
It makes zero sense, if he is the main striker, why would he play almost full match against Georgia? A game where Martinez decided to rotate the team....he is 39 years old. Oh wait I forgot, he has to score goals and chase personal records. I am tired of this Ronaldo movie tbh.
Such a shame....I love Ronaldo but he is destroying his last years.
We have so much quality, young players, in every position we have guys playing for top clubs and then we just cant do anything because everything revolves around Ronaldo.
And Martinez is such a mediocre coach. Subbing our best player of the tournament (Vitinha) the other day and making subs that made zero sense. Today he decided to sub Matheus Nunes in 3 min left to the end of the game, instead of putting rafael leao as striker and diogo jota on the left side he subs Joao felix in.....such a shame
Finally the most logical comment I’ve seen in a while
Well said
Portugal has to move beyond Ronaldo, he had his time it's time to move on
Couldn't agree more
You've acknowledged the truth!!! 👍
I'm sick and tired of all these Ronaldo fan boys, quoting the same old arguments about his past and his achievements. What has Ronaldo achieved in the last 5 years? What has Ronaldo done for you lately? Erik ten Hag knew this, and he wasn't quite ready to pander to the past. Unlike this spineless dandy from Portugal.😃
You want a quote? The greatest boxer of all time once said: "It isn't the mountains ahead that wear you down. It's the pebble in your shoe." Well, the legend that WAS Ronaldo, is the pebble in Portugal's shoes.
Pathetic!😉
Both ronaldo's and martinez's fault
Martinez is the victim here, if he put Ronaldo on bench, he will get the same treatment like Fernando santos

2. Has there ever been a more disappointing international career when it mattered most? TWENTY-ONE games in the knockout stages of major international tournaments.. 3 goals 😬 i dont ever want to hear about an "elite mentality" ever again when describing a flat track bully against luxembourg
his narcissism just makes this worse
You got a point, starting Ronaldo wasn't the problem his selfish takes and wanting to play 120 min while not even seen on the field was what let to their defeat.
And I don't understand the coach why sub players like leao, bruno, vitinha and benardo, I just don't understand.

Should have started JOTA
I believe ronaldo wants to probably play in the world cup because of how the last one ended for him. From what i saw today i would still put him in the squad but for more of a supporting role. Coming on in the 60th/70th minute. I believe he will actually be more useful to the team in that respect. Today all i saw was him waiting for crosses in the box which tbf the delivery wasn't that great. In the past he could rely on himself to do things but now he is really relying a lot more on his teammates for service and if the deliveries aren't good then you don't see him doing anything the whole game. His pace seems to be ok but he doesn't seem to be able to beat defenders 1v1 anymore but tbf french defenders are quick as well. If portugal want to have a successful world cup then he needs to take a little bit of a back seat cause it will be a waste of world cup if they do this all over again. On the other hand pepe was amazing. He is the definition right now of age is just a number. Truly amazing performance.

Fair play to Les bleus, but this loss is solely on Martinez's ineptitude, a Spanish double agent if there ever was one. Conceding a tournament to satisfy Ronaldo's ego is straight-up reprehensible. The news outlets in Portugal will be licking their chops at the prospect of bringing in Mourinho.
Ronaldo fans hahahahahaha this is your goat !!!! How many goals did he score this tournament? Just asking
A normal functioning individual doesn't act in a spastic manner. Consider seeing a specialist about your unhealthy obsession.
21 knockout games - 3 goals with 95 shots taken is absolutely indefensible.
When i said playing ronaldo as a starter will be a bad choice for the team. His fans kept defending him .martinez is a coward for playing him for the whole tournament without substituting him or starting him on the bench.
Ronaldo didn't cost the game Martinez did. He accommodated Ronaldo walking around the pitch for 100 of the 120 minutes he played. Such great talent on the Portugal squad and he left them on the bench most of the tournament.
At some point towards end, Ronaldo must have been subbed

Jota would have made a world of difference and played a bigger part in the match if given chance.
The disrespect is insane. Literally the top goal scorer of all time. Typically what have you done now mind set. The man leads off in penalties to set the tone. He deserves way more respect since he is the one responsible for putting Portugal on the map.
Ronaldo playing for 120 minutes certainly stopped Portugal playing to their best as a team. Even his own team mates realised he was poor and avoided passing to him most of the time.
ronaldo's stats against france: 11 touches in 120 minutes, 0 shots on target and 3 dives..
he is old.. he cant help portugal anymore.. the coach should just bench him cuz portugal played way better without cr7 on the field and this is the truth tho even if you like it or not
11 touches… no service. You score without the ball. Try it. It’s very hard.
@@techsamurai11 maybe if he would've came to help his teammates on mid then he wouldve gotten more touches and chances but noo... he likes to stay only in the box
@@valt1337 he’s a striker… he came down quite a few times but he shouldn’t have to.
Yes they were limited when they were relying on a 40 year old to be their focal point.
they are digging their own grave
What a waste of these portugal talents. All because of a narcisist old guy
You didn't think to look at their coach beforehand?? Martinez is TERRIBLE, he ruined Belgium's golden generation and is on his way to ruin Portugal's
@@lolph5438 Me who don't even support Portugal, they actually had SOMETHING going on when they destroyed Switzerland 6-0 in the round of 16 last world cup with Ronaldo benched, yet fans were still going stupidly retarded complaining about why Ronaldo wasn't starting!! Firing Santos for that reason!! Portugal is just seriously being stupid now making Ronaldo a bigger priority rather than going full redevelopment on the team!!!
@@lolph5438 ronaldo has been terrible since the world cup with portugal. Ronaldo was the worst player in the field for portugal. Stop blaming martines and santos just because Ronaldo can't shine. You do realize that every Ronaldo fan always blame the coach or teammates for his failures.
This nonsense english media should teach their team how to
Win a major trophy because they haven't win anything in last 58 years
And England is the Tottenham of international football 😂😂
But he's scored loads of goals in his pub league. 😂
Martinez cost Portugal. He should be sacked. Wasted Belgium squad and now doing that with Portugal
Again. They’re not talking about Mbappe isn’t doing anything this tournament. These guys man
His nose is broken, he has a reason
I watched the full 120 minutes mbappe didn't have a bad game
@@jemi3869Don't be making excuses for the Future Ballon D'or winner Mbappe he's the future of Football.
@@jemi3869and? Doesn’t affect his legs, excuses.
They were answering questions from viewers. Nobody asked them about Mbappe, so that's the reason.
Ronaldo has a better overall rating in the tournament than Leao, Felix, Jota, and Ramos. He provided two big chances which is one more than Fernandes, and Silva, he had one assist which was given to Bruno on a silver platter, his average correct pass percentage was higher than Bruno, one of our best midfielders. Nobody deserves to be on that squad more than Ronaldo. He also had a higher percentage of shots on target than Mbappe, the supposed best player in the world right now.
Portugal will have a good future when Ronaldo retires
bernardo Silva is not good on the wing he slows down play same as Ronaldo Leao runs down the side and has to wait an age for the other two to catch up.
Maybe, but their only trophies in their entire history came during the Ronaldo era
@@lolph5438in a game Ronaldo don't play because he was injured. Thank God Ronaldo had that injury because who knows?
@@oluwatobioyedele5987 no. Cr7 played the game & he also won the nation's league as well
@@oluwatobioyedele5987you should be kissing cr7 you guys will never taste a euro ever again without him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No, he wasnt the reason. It's Martinez' responsibility to take him off and make those decisions. Even Deschamps took of Mbappe.
Martinez doesn't make those decisions, Ronaldo does. Fernando Santos was fired because he took Ronaldo out. Martinez was hired to make sure Ronaldo plays
@@KandGoodzI agree, no manager in they're right mind would start a 39 year old playing in Saudi every game in the Euros
@@KandGoodz the martinez part is true but Santos was an horrible coach that's why he's out
@@lilwaffles714 It should not be about the age. It should be based on performance. Pepe is 41 years old, but he deserves to play all the minutes because he was good. Ronaldo however, was really bad.
@@astarothofhell4341 yes, Santos was a horrible coach, but he wasn’t fired because of that. He was fired because Ronaldo wanted him gone. That is how Portugal operates, Portugal is run by Ronaldo and super-agent Jorge Mendes
Seeing the way Ronaldo celebrated his shootout goal today defines everything - it’s not about the team, but himself. He played 120 minutes today and was dead weight like he was all tournament. His team made a big deal about his group stage assist because they’re not used to him sharing the glory. He needs to be told by his fans and by his squad that he has to go. If you all truly love Portugal, they’ll only be able to contend for trophies without him. He holds them back for his own selfish need for attention. Shame on Pepe for suiting up as well.
that's what happens when you play old farts instead of fresh blood
he only ever looks forward to pens and his own personal achievements. Did you see the smug look on his face after it’s ridiculous really
People where only supporting Portugal because of Ronaldo not because Portugal was good
lol you guys are such a bunch of clowns. He just acknowledged a penalty in the shootout for 3 seconds and that irks you!!
@@Thekingslayer-ig5se He's there nightmare 🤣🤣
I’ve never liked Ronaldo as a team player. When he was young, this was not so much of a problem since his speed, power and overall attacking prowess compensated for his lack of teamwork. He was just a lethal apex predator in his prime. But once he started to slow down, he either needed to become more of a team player, passing up opportunities to other team mates, or step back (either dropping from the team or being used as an impact sub). I’d go so far as to say this goes back as far as eight years. Portugal won the euros when Ronaldo got injured. Sure, he has scored many goals over the years, but I’d expect that from a good striker given just how many chances his team offers him in front of goal.
The Frenchman has emotional intelligence
C Ronaldo is no where near the original Ronaldo from Brazil
different ronaldos
Fat Ronaldo was done at 25.
You are right. Cr7 still playing for Portugal at 39. At 39, Da Lima was 10 years past playing his last competitive match for Brazil.
No disrespect to R9 but Ronaldo is scoring 50 goals a season now and would have won the Euro if he had a team that passed to him.
@@techsamurai11 50 goals against team those have rank 1500 to 2000. He is old , selfish and paying bribe to portugal coach and management
Portugal will win the next World Cup, when Ronaldo is retired
😂😂😂😂😂😂 never again they ever again
Ronaldo will still somehow be at the 2026 World Cup even though he will be 41. If Pepe could play this Euros at 41, CR7 will find a way somehow as well lol.
Nope. Portugal's time is over. It peaked in 2016. Spain is coming back with top class young players.
Imagine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Nico at their peak.
@@ashleythomas4112Pepe plays for Porto and plays in the champions league. What don’t you understand about the consistent high level you play at? It means something.
He is playing in the next world. Chasing someone
I wonder why a 39-year-old will put his person achievement over a whole nation
Ronaldo and Mbappe were the two worst players on the field they cost their team the quality of performance needed at this level
Dont forget, in Portugals biggest win , cr7 was hurt( beating france in the euro final/ 2016,
It's a bit disrespectful tbh..
I'm not a huge fan of Ronny's but in large part he's been carrying this national team for the past 10-15 years at least. What woukd Portugal have done without Ronaldo these past 15 years? With what players?
And to make precise about this competition, what other players showed the promise to take over with Ronaldo out? No one I believe.
At least at the world cup there were a couple. Now nobody..
Blaming one person instead of the team as a collective is absolutely absurd. I'm not saying he played great, but neither did the team!! The media are snakes
CR7 is lucky he got injured in that game against France if not Portugal wouldn't have won the Euros that year
Cristiano Ronaldo the most overrated football player of all time
If a 5 time ballon dor winner is overrated, then imagine how overrated Messi would be 😂😂
1.Messi 🐐
2.Pele

@@SLSAMG you can’t be too 3 without a World Cup
Messi has to be top 3 by default and pendu out of top 3 by default
Stop with your penaldoggy gayboyism
It was better Ronaldo played all the games, i think he finally admits himself that he is no-longer the same Ronaldo. Now he gets to retire happily. It was important for a Portugal legend to admits for himself with support from coach and supporters.
In order to play at top performance one has to compete with the best. Imagine Roger Federer playing in college league for two years and returing to play with top ten players, he will get crushed.
Ronaldo fans should absolutely SHUT UP!! Stop with your victim mentality cards and fandom drooling BS! Ronaldo is an All-time Great, yes but he can't cut it anymore.. He's a hindrance to thr team, holding them back..if he Truly loves his nation and isn't just pestering around for his own narcissistic legacy, then he should step down for the young guns to take over
👏👏👍
word
he needs to retire sooner or later
The guy lost the ball every time in the final third and sent the ball to the moon with a tap in chance 😂😂😂
So many chances and free kicks missed im glad this was his last run
Pessi gets carried to the finals just to lift the trophy...lucky him 😂 💩
Did anyone watch the game? Whether it was Ronaldo or jota up front...Bruno, leao, vitinha, what horrible crossing...not 1 single buildup play was tried. Set pieces reached French defenders 9xs out of 10. Let's be real, France is the stronger squad, and they were shooting themselves in the foot all match.
there were multiple opportunities in the area but there was no one there bc that old man is camping the post like a bus stop
@@astarothofhell4341loser
You can easily tell both Ronaldo and Messi’s level dropped significantly when they started playing in Saudi and MLS.
The football quality in those leagues is not the same. They don’t play aggressive and smart football, players in those leagues are low level and low iq.
Ya they can get a lot of goals and whatever there, but when it comes to these competitions at this age they look lost. Age caught up with both of them and they’re both playing where they should be playing at this stage of their career. You have to be blind and a fanboy to not see it and admit it.
true
both are not performing in big leagues
one doesn't have to after winning copa america and world cup
but the other one is still trying to complete football
But Messi has other skills to impact the game
Messi has performed very well. Don’t let this last game distract you from that. He has been playing through an injury.
@@churchill525that’s true but his performance dropped significantly. He gets dispossessed easily these days, his free kick scoring rate gone down. It’s expected because both of them are older these days. I believe both should either start and only play 60 mins and get subbed out(give chance to young players) or bring them on as super subs in 60th/65th minute to impact the games. 90 minute is just too much these days in these competitions for both of them. In Saudi and MLS yes they can play full 120mins. In WC, Euros or Copa America it’s just too much I think at this stage of their career. The level of football is massively different. It’s like they’re playing slow motion football in Saudi and MLS 😂
@@IroonieLA Messi is a player who's impact on the game never gets old
Look, soccer is easier and worse today than it was 10-20 years ago. A 16 year old kid is dominating even though he’s a much weaker player than Messi or Ronaldo.
Ronaldo can score 50 goals a season at the age of 40 and outscore Mbappe and Haaland.
Pepe can probably play defense in the premier league well into his 60s. Biden can probably play in one of the lesser teams in the premier league and it wouldn’t affect the team…
Was Ronaldo's lack of pace a problem..?? ..yes..but to place blame on him for the failure of the entire team and their exit is a stretch..look at the whole team in perspective..guys like Bruno Bernardo Leao failed to show their gameplay for their country when it was time to put up and Martinez is basically Fernando Santos 2.0 ..
Exactly. Bruno lost the ball 40 times against Slovenia. These mugs said nothing.
Ronaldo was not an issue. Portugal had 3 clear chances (63, 107, 119 minute) to score and did not capitalize. Poor finishing from other strikers not just Ronaldo.
No one wasted chances more than Ronaldo.
@@hubertagamasu6283 in this game he only got 1
@@DB77769 And how many chances did he create? Who should cook for him to eat? Btw, the silly backheel and the free-kick. That's 2 right there.
@@hubertagamasu6283 watch the game again.
@@hubertagamasu6283He actually dive during that play
C'mon if you actually watch felix, ramos and jota, they're not consistent natural strikers. Jota is a great sub, amazing in fact. Felix takes too many shots that are off target, ramos is just a below average striker. Is ronaldo still great, maybe not, but he is no worse than those other guys.
Fair enough, but why would you keep Ronaldo (39 years old btw) on the pitch for 120 min if he is just not performing at all? Not defending, making runs, scoring...
Not only this match but the entire tournament.
Don't you think Ronaldo should've been subbed out for Ramos? If you don't want to play ramos, why not put Rafael Leao as striker and sub in jota on the left wing?
Do you know why? Because of his status, who he is and has done. Past. Not present....and in Football what matters is the present.
@@mrsyzer Jota should start every match going forward for Portugal (besides maybe the nations league) and Ronaldo should be a super sub. He can't run a full 90+ min and be lethal but I can see a future in which he's deadly as a halftime sub and beyond in which the defenders are already worn
Jota is a great sub, so why not sub him in?
@@hubertagamasu6283 who knows why Felix came on at all... bad decision if you ask me
Didn't Ramos have a hat trick in the world cup the one game Ronaldo didn't play???
Yes but the game after against Morocco they were losing 1-0 in the first half with Ramos and Ronaldo only played for 25 minutes in the second half but it was too late. To say Ramos is better than Ronaldo is insane 😂😂
This happens when you qualify in the quarterfinals due to luck 😢😢
The difference is Ronaldo will be remembered 100 years from now and none of you will after a year 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Better not be remembered than to be remembered as the most childish, selfish player who ever lived.
your idol will be remembered as the manchild he is
you're just another of his bootlickers
the diference is penaldo did nothing at this tournament when messi did many things at copa
