@Fati_Future_BallonDor My XI 4-3-1-2

Costa---Dalot, Pepe, Dias, Mendes---J. Neves, Palhinha, B. Silva---Bruno Fernandes---Pedro Neto, Leao

Bring in Vitinha, Chico, Jota and CR7 as subs.

Is it expected in Portugal that CR7 will start?

@Fati_Future_BallonDor thoughts on Martinez?

Way better coach than dinosaur Santos even though we wouldnt have won Euro16 without his 'shit' football

But Martinez is better for the current team, more direct, faster and more versatile at creating chances

Euro16 is his first test, lets see

Joao Neves is too young, i think Vitinha will start and thats good, Bruno&Vitinha together are fire 🔥🔥

Yess he will definitely start the first match, Martinez loves that guy but i think he will only play every second game and will get subbed in 60.min

Great, can't wait, it's gonna be hilarious.

A player is never too young if he is good enough. Imo Portugal needs to someone who can build up play from defense to midfield/offense.

I don't think Vitinha provides that quality but could add energy and legs when subbed in to which I think will have a greater impact in the game.

Chico would also be a great sub as well for Pedro Neto.

@Fati_Future_BallonDor Watching some old clips and I stumbled on this one. Probably the Portuguese side that entertained me the most.

Figo, Pauleta, Deco, young CR7, Maniche, Carvalho, Ricardo. Great side

I also love watching clips from that team, high IQ players with insane determination and pure entertainment, the era from 2004-2006 really deserved to win a title but that France side was unfortunately insane too with Henry, Ribery, Zidane....

Said it before the tournament - Portugal would pay for trying to accommodate Ronaldo. He was below average to non-existent in every game.

Opportunity missed for this cuck of a national team.

Martinez stays or no? His reluctance to phase out Ronaldo was costly

How Neto didn't even get near the pitch tonight with his pace and dribbling ability is anyone's guess.

Leao and Felix are so average.

LOl at the comment beneath. These Ronaldo worshippers are clueless. Plus Ronaldo missed a great chance when he came on.
