the sad thing about that video is even though he's looking at the ref and 10 inches from him, you can see he's not actually communicating with him. his eyes will be glazed, purely thinking about all that choreography of meaning he's trying to portray to the viewers.

everything about that was an attempt to make it look like he's "involved" in the game, not a hint of sincere frustration at the ref's decision.

You can’t afford to have passengers in big games, he was incredibly static. Once in a while he does a “look I’m pressing the keeper” run when there’s no point. Rest of the time he stands on the edge of the box.

If I was Martinez I would tell him he has to be an impact sub. Martinez is going to be sacked whatever happens.

The Portuguese fans were chanting his name all match
It's their fault unfortunately

>>155442640
Spain doesn't have to apologise. His entire career has been based on keeping Wigan up every season against the odds and then won the FA Cup against Man City in 2013. He has somehow fallen upwards in every job since. Everton, Belgium, Portugal: failed at the fucking lot of them.

>"First of all, we all have enormous respect for what Congo and their coach have accomplished," he said. "We're talking about a team that finished ahead of Cameroon and Nigeria. Then they performed very well at the continental level. I would describe them as a very flexible team. They are not simply a team that sits deep and defends.

Well. Credit to him. He was right on this. Shame his analysis didn't materialize itself into a victory.

You might ask “but the World Cup doesn’t happen in 2076”, well the Penaldo Drones forced FIFA to run it every two years until he won it.

"We do have to improve. We have to be very self-critical," Martinez said. "Our responsibility here, I think is to assess this match, be self-critical and that's the bottom line ... the World Cup is like that. We continue our work.

"I noticed that the attitude of the players was extraordinary first and foremost, and I do believe in what we can do."

"We scored in a moment where usually the emotions really help out to continue with that momentum and try to score that second goal but it was actually the opposite effect for us," he said.

"We tried to stick to the ball possession, we couldn't make it to the box and we gave an opportunity for Congo to restructure and mount counter-attacks.

"But also we have to learn that our brand of football and our responsibility really is to achieve the highest level possible," he added.

This
If a player was dead weight for the last 2 tournaments, England fans wouldn't just want him dropped, they'd want him dead.
Hero worship of an objectively washed player that has achieved nothing of note ever since moving to saudi (which should just automatically bar you from getting called up by a big european national team if they are serious about winning btw) is the number one thing holding Portugal back. I would be incredulous if I was Portuguese at all my compatriots cheering for a fraud.

While there's truth to this, please be reminded that the Ronaldette phenomenon is well beyond Portugal.

We're not in a good position to say that given Jordan Henderson & Toney.

I am not putting it past him playing on the World Cup that happens in Portugal at the ripe age of 45 years old. We could be in for two more big Ronaldo tournaments after this one.
>>
>>155442693
>Apparently he's off anyway
The only thing this tells me is that Ronaldo will fuck off the NT (about damn time) after this WC is done. The only reason Martinez was headhunted for our NT is because he's a Yes Man who always caves in to the federation and Ronaldo's demands to be the star of the show no matter what. He was criticized in Belgium for doing the exact same thing to their NT for fuck's sake.

At least they can catch a throughball.
Ronaldo should've retired from the national team even before Eurocup 2024.

Portugal is in a tough spot where Ronaldo is still good enough to be on the team but not to be the central player in their offense. And they don’t have the balls to tell this legendary player who is bigger than they are that it is time to take a backseat.

Problem is Portugal is bigger than Ronaldo and will be around long after he is gone.

To me this looks like he's so full of himself he thinks he controls the game. You can also tell in this video with the ref saying "I'm the referee here" >>155442466

>>155444852
To anyone with a brain yes, but these groups are inbred or just brown as hell. Mexicans unironically cheering for CR7 in droves is still funny. I think once Cristiano retires from NT, you'll see the support for Portugal wane from foreigners (which I think is a good thing).

Same will happen to Argentina after Messi too but I'm sure they'll still get some from other latinos too. Generally most people in south america will support BRs, Argies, etc if their cunt doesn't get in unless it's some rivalry.

He was already completely washed Euro 2024. Yeah I get he wants 1000 goals but that's only gonna happen against Alhamadulillah FC. Uzbekistan and Panama defenders will have no problems keeping up with this unc. His positioning, finishing, timing, balance etc all gone. He really is a bad player now.

I don't rate him as "the goat" but even I had to feel sorry for him yesterday. Maybe he can still turn it around, but Portugal would be way better with anyone else in the 9....Their midfield is so elite that it requires someone who can build up and join the attack as well, that's why PSG are so good cause all 3 attackers (Doue, Kvara, Dembele) drop into midfield and are super fast...Old man Ronaldo's legs are gone, became a worse version of Van Nistelrooy

Henderson and Toney are not starters, Hendo is there for the vibes and Toney for penalties.

I really didn't think they would start him wtf. Literally a 41 yo starter in a world cup, what a joke of a manager.

>can they even beat Uzbekistan?
The Uzbeks looked really well structured, I would be shocked if Portugal could beat them in the upcoming match.

They were physically strong and very well disciplined. The main reason the Colombians could score was due to their legit talent / accelerated attacks. 2 of their goals were the result of superb skill in very difficult plays. I don't see Portugal doing the same.

>>155450694
The Scottish keeper is 43. It's not the age it's the everything, the fact that he hasn't played for a top european team or done much for Portugal in years for example.

it's one thing for him to be playing badly... but even worse is this narrative that his team is so much better and they are fed up playing with him. and then that is why they arent getting results. that entire squad is overrated and i hope they get knocked out early.

Ronaldo straight up has the most pathetic end for a great in all sports, a so called "GOAT" can't do anything but hide impotently offsides and wait to be gifted a penalty. He is finished and all you retards can do is jerk off to an imaginary 2008 version that was never better than messi.

nah

He doesn't really have the vision, passing ability or the propensity to be a playmaker. Plus, he never tracked back even during his prime so he'd be a defensive liability in an already iffy defense.

they had Cannavaro of all people coaching them. Give it a few decades or even years and I think we'll have more well structured thirdies.

DRC looked pretty decent for a team full of thirdies as well. French manager. I do think ultimately a euro or euro descended manager (latino) and playmaker will make a team good.

He is the most marked, unlike Messi, so he draws an entire team toward him, leaving the other teammates free roam. It is an undeniable fact and and an observable strategy
>>
Two things happen with Ronaldo and conversely, Messi. On one hand, when Ronaldo is on the ball [also when he isn't], players of the other team are drawn to him to defend against, block and challenge him. The first reason is, he can bee (is often) quite deadly when left unmarked. However, the main governing psychology behind why he is flooded with challengers is because THEY SEE HIM as too pretty, too flashy and they want to prove to him that he isn't. They want you teach him a lesson.

Conversely, the psychology behind what happens when Messi's on the ball is quite similar, but for different reasons. It is automatically assumed that he is so great, he's so good; "why even bother challenging, bro?" There is a fictional, yet, ardently adhered to belief and myth, that by not challenging, you are spared embarrassment.

>>
>>155465028
You can't refute it, though. It's observable and undeniable. A similar psychological phenomenon occurs with his Portuguese teammates and why they shut him out of any of the plays for ENTIRE matches.

Alright, you're putting in so much effort that I feel obligated to reply

How exactly do you shut out a player that is always standing on the edge of the field completely static, often offside?
>>
>>155465580
Imagine being around a bunch of mentally stunted manlets who see you as superior (even though you don't see yourself that way), yet want to prove to you CONSTANTLY that you're inferior and will NEVER give you the satisfaction of knowing that you have one up on them, ALWAYS, even though you don't care for it. There's constant sniping and feminine snide and passive aggressive faggotry and gas lighting, CONSTANTLY.

You clearly haven't played football enough, nor been outside around manlets, or you are a manlet yourself and you exhibit this behavior unconsciously.
>>
>How exactly do you shut out a player that is always standing on the edge of the field completely static, often offside?
By not passing the ball to him and involving him in any of the plays. Do you even play, bro?

Strikers aren't supposed to be static and stay offside when it's time to pass to them. Compare to every other striker in the cup.

>>155465912
He isn't static you fucking creep. It's a strategy—a tactic. He, like many other great strikers (myself included) understand that the momentum, drift and dynamism of buildup play is going to see the back line defense of the other team, fall back, anyway. The only issue that arises from such a tactic is that no long balls can be played to that player, forcing the rest of the team into to a possession game —tiki taka (not always, because boomers DO NOT KNOW NOR COMPREHEND ONE-TOUCH FOOTBALL). they have to build up and force the other team's defense AND midfield back, forcing them to converge and anticipate the ball being passed to CR7. All the while they're waiting for that to happen, the rest of the team in possession has free roam and clear chance to score, because IT'S A STRATEGY where CR7 pulls most players wherever he goes, AND if he doesn't, he's left open.
>>
>>155466389
You know who understood this and ALWAYS made use of it whenever he came on? QUARESMA! yes, Ricardo Quaresma saw this and used it to his advantage and the Portuguese advantage. Why? Because Portugal is A WEAK TEAM and CANNOT win big tournaments without such a vivid and real strategy.
>>
>>155466389
ZOOMERS* not boomers
>>
All that's needed, now, is good Portuguese zoomers to learn and understand ONE-TOUCH football — give and go (ONE-TOUCH).
>>
When and IF the Portuguese can maintain one-touch build up play for a fraction of a minute, their entire game will change, because with one-touch football you develop instict and situational awareness, because of the physics involved.
>>
>>155446212

TSU should have retired before 2020 and kept a legend without a WC win status. Ronaldinho retired early and he is still legendary, but this moortugalian just can't get over being kekked by Pissi over the GOAT status.
He is entering kwab status and actively ruining his legacy.
>>
>>155466968
part of the captain's job is to lobby the ref. he was arguing that his teammate got a yellow for his first tackle of the game instead of a warning. the hope is not that the ref changes his mind, it's hoping to put doubt in his mind on future calls. if you accept his calls without any pushback, the ref will feel empowered to rule against you going forward.
again, i hate ronaldo, but this is a captain's job and including it in this thread is retarded.
