It amazes me that anyone with more than one brain cell can't see that one player is significantly more talented and offers significantly more qualitatively than the other.True.
We all know that this ,,rivalry" is a media fabrication and nothing else.
On a serious note, that performance was shameful - not just ability wise, but the sheer theatrics and selfishness and entitlement. He's shite at free kicks yet he took four with nobody else getting a look in.
He should keep his head down after that performance. i doubt he will though.
Yeah I have said the same stuff with different words. It's ridiculous.This guy is the personification of cancerous toxicity itself!
Forced himself on the FA and coach, not only as a starter in all games, but DREARY ME as a free kick taker, while he hasn't scored a FK I don't know for how many years.
What kind of entitlement is that, when he is past it since many years?
He practically made sure Santos will be fired because he subbed him out in the WC (while even Santos looked the other way for a few years, since he had been a burden way before that)
But my negative surprise came on Martinez. What kind of SPINELESS YESMAN with 0 personality accepts such a condition to take over the Portugal NT job?
Because, BE SURE, there was a 'Ronaldo condition' in the negotiations with their FA and that YESMAN accepted it....
Absolutely eviscerated the soft 5 euro sidekick. Hahahaha.
In a way, him crying openly shows his humility and regret.
He let his nation down and couldn't live with that. He knows the world will make fun of him crying.
After scoring his pen in the shootout, he apologizes to the Portugal fans for today instead of celebrating. Now, that is humility.
People might call him arrogant and rightly so but atleast he has the integrity and humility to immediately admit his fault instead of playing victim. He'll be the first one to blame himself for this game.
Respect.
On a serious note - trolling and insults put to one side...
he is so clearly past it and has been for ages. Time is undefeated.
Yes he is obsessed with goalscoring records, which show he doesn't understand that real football fans care about much more than goal stats.Im glad he apologized to the Porugal fans, the problem with him he is too obsessed with records. After 60 minutes when he realized the situation is serious he played more team-friendly.
I doubt he'd be a super sub either. He's just finished and needs to retire as soon as possible.yep he should be used as super-sub but he wont accept that
My GOAT faced destiny like a man.
Your GOAt faced it like a pussy.
