I love how the fans didn't allow the propaganda against Ronaldo to work this time like they did during the 2022 World Cup. Bruno and co. will be feeling the heat from now on if they don't start stepping up.
@kingbaade He definitely has a problem with him. They asked about him specifically and his response is I don’t have a problem with “anyone”…. Deflecting from the real question!! Scum from the earth!!!
🚨🎙️ Rio Ferdinand on Portugal performance against DR Congo:
🗣️ “Yes, DR Congo scored and they deserve credit because they’re a very good side.
What I have to say about Portugal is that their biggest issue isn’t the defence.
It’s chance creation.
They’re dominating possession, controlling territory, and seeing plenty of the ball, but they’re not turning that control into enough clear-cut opportunities.
Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha, and Bernardo Silva are far too talented for Portugal to look this predictable in possession.
I think questions need to be asked about Roberto Martínez tactics.
The sad part is that at the end of the day, only one man is going to take the blame.” 👀
🚨Roy Keane on Portugal being held by Congo
🗣️ “I think some people expected Portugal to walk onto the pitch and score three or four goals automatically. That’s not how football works, especially at a World Cup.
What surprises me is that this isn’t what any of us expected. The whole world is disappointed with that midfield performance.
We know Bruno Fernandes is a player who usually creates chances, but today he created almost nothing. Vitinha was nowhere to be found as well, and that’s unacceptable from a trio many people called the best midfield in this tournament.
They dominated possession, but possession alone means nothing if you don’t create real danger.
One thing I noticed is that Portugal played a lot like PSG today. With Vitinha, João Neves and Nuno Mendes in the team, they controlled the ball but lacked quality and width in attack.
I see a lot of criticism aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo, but remove him and put someone else there, and Portugal probably look even worse.”
👀Ronaldo drives into the box, attracts 4 defenders, passes the ball to Our no 10 and see what a creative midfielder does, he literally takes the ball back to his half from this attacking position😭🤦♂️.
The entire Portugal 🇵🇹 midfield need to step up, they can’t win games like this. Attackers get nothing from them and it’s disappointing.

People blaming Ronaldo today simply have zero understanding of football. He did nothing wrong and was actually one of Portugal’s most involved players. The real issue was Portugal’s midfield, which was practically non-existent for most of the game. THEY CREATED NOTHING.
