You drove farmers to suicide, tried to freeze pensioners to death and actively ignored and covered up the rape and torture of thousands of children and young women.
Absolutely no sympathy.
The fact is Portugal's status as a football Nation before Ronaldo was like Turkey, Wales or Norway
The only diff is that Ronaldo is so good that by winning Portugal's first ever 3 trophies he made the world believe that they're in the same league as France, Brazil or Argentina
😭🇮🇪 Roy Keane delivered another classic line on the Overlap today and had Gary Neville and Ian Wright in stitches:
🗣️ Keane: “Gary was telling me he went through a bad spell of form after the EUROs for about 6 months because of relationship issues. WOW. Really? WOW.”
🗣️ Neville: “I obviously had a captain at the time who I didn’t feel I could go to.” 😂
🗣️ Keane: “If a full-back is going through relationship issues, it doesn’t mean he can’t stop a cross does it?"
"No I’m being serious: That shouldn’t stop you from closing your winger down: 'Oh my girlfriend’s broke up with me because she’s got her eyesight back'.”
“You can still stop crosses, that shouldn’t effect ya.” 😂
The thing is, Roy is absolutely spot on, but his delivery is always on point. 👏
Look at how the PSG players immediately stopped appealing the moment the referee waved it away. Only Marquinhos approached the ref, and the bench stayed calm. Zero drama.
Now contrast that with Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. When Madueke pulled down Nuno Mendes and intentionally went down looking for a soft penalty, the Arsenal players threw a collective tantrum on the pitch. Arteta rallied his entire bench, screaming at the officials for almost a minute and nearly interrupting the game.
That’s the exact brand of tactical tantrum he throws in the PL to bully weak English referees who completely lack authority.
What makes Arteta truly embarrassing is his shameless desperation. Later on, when Gyokeres’ shot got deflected for a corner, Arteta was up in the fourth official's face demanding a handball penalty. Then we saw the replay, and the ball wasn't even close to a PSG player's arm.
He’s a certified embarrassment to the beautiful game.
