@DiianaD_ Yes, I am Portuguese, UCL and club means nothing compared to country... wanting a WC victory dates back generations for my family... none of them were ever ManU or RM fans...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@mercyl4s Depends if Martinez adapts and readjusts. The talent is there, the cohesiveness is not. They are done at 32 with no adjustments, they could easily be top 4 with a shot to win based on talent. I put it on the coach if he cant find a way to get these guys to figure it out.

@Blxiseutd Bruno and Ronaldo both played terrible. Ronaldo sat in the box waiting for a cross and didnt move. Bruno consistently drilled the ball the wrong way and created no attacking chances. The other 9 also played bad. This is a coaching issue... they didnt look like a team at all.

@PancakePepsi @TSPNFC1 @UTDAlex8 My biggest takeaway form the match yesterday was that Martinez might be the biggest problem with the team...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@TSPNFC1 @UTDAlex8 You really just read what Zidane said... and came to that conclusion. Ronaldo was not great... neither were the other 10 players on the pitch. Even Costa looked awkwardly shaky at times. World class talent, amateur level teamwork..

@darek_kutyna @UTDTrey 100%... totally different type of players... enjoy it while it lasts... entering into the "this may be the last time you ever see them play" territory...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@Nunomel1605 @Julien5Muller I'd prefer him to go in at the 40th... but Martinez is horrible. Alot of blame on him. The 11 on the field all played poorly, both as a team and individuals... complete team loss

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@jnanyacent @JO_BEST7 We had one, his name was Jota... RIP...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@FUTDonkey @zolttt1 Silva was probably the only player out there worse than Mendes today...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@Jumpon260711 @FUTDonkey I think this team really misses Jota at W.. he was so much more dynamic than anyone on the field today. Spacing was so bad, no sense to attack, zero pressure put on the defense, zero counter, crosses were awful. Just bad from all 11...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@MrCoxyGames @aa9skillz @AntoDaMan2vm They were all equally bad. This team misses Jota so bad... RIP

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@ERAGAMING97 @aa9skillz @AntoDaMan2vm Bruno also trailed Ronaldo to the post instead of breaking in to space. Both were to blame on that play, not sure if it was bad comms... but not a great ball in... bad movement... poor shot by CR7. Whole team was bad today...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@aa9skillz Midfield and coaching was the majority of the problem today. That said, no one actually played well. Disappointing performance from all 11 on the pitch.

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@MW_CBJ @mercyl4s No one played well... and when that happens, with this many talented players, typically thats on the manager. Terrible game plan and zero adjustment... Martinez needs to go...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@Emmanuelson689 If you let a ball pass through your feet in the box, you dont belong on the pitch... why isnt Bruno breaking towards the goal in that play? Standing there in a passing lane that didnt exist without the ball going thru Ronaldo. Hes trailing Ronaldo instead of running to open space

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@jibreelKhalil @Cristiano @selecaoportugal Martinez is Portugals problem... just a god awful misuse of everyone on the pitch today... took a bad strategy and somehow made it worse after the half...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@Nuel006 This team really misses Jota man... RIP... totally different energy in the attack with him out there... today was all on the midfield. 75% possession, 700 passes... not a single real attack created, just passes back n forth and bad crosses.

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@SalamAbdu39671 @sportsrage Idk if anyone was the best today... but this is spot on. Midfield was the biggest issue by far...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@Callmeancestor @ESPNFC Algeria's defense was some of the worst of the cup. Just leave Messi wide open. Portugals lack of real movement outside of midfield passing was just as bad...

[CBolli @CBullRun13]

@BSDtakes Kaep never had a "prime"... 2 years is not a prime... he had a peak. It was amazing, but a prime is not 2 seasons. So Purdy, Smith, Kaep, Jimmy. Now if you said at their peak, Kaep, Purdy, Smith, Jimmy
