Maniche ex-jogador da Seleção Portuguesa:
"Os jogadores de Portugal não quiseram abdicar do próprio protagonismo para potencializar um único jogador. Aquilo que a Argentina faz com o Messi, Portugal não quis fazer com o Cristiano Ronaldo."
🚨🗣️ Ricardo Quaresma on Portugal's elimination:
"Everyone was saying this team was the best in Portugal's history, but in what way? What have they won? We're going home with our heads down."
"In midfield, we have great players and lots of talent, but they were very, very weak at this World Cup. The attack was the same, and the defense was lost."
"The best thing is that I stop here; otherwise I'll say things I'll regret later."
Bruno was active terror to his own team. his hate for CR7 clouded the main goal of winning….ill forever say that boy is talented but so selfish. Couldn’t take his own pride out of it even for his country. Absolutely disgraceful
🚨🎙️Toni Kroos on Portugal's national team:
"First of all, congratulations to Portugal. If the objective was to move on from Cristiano Ronaldo, then you've achieved it."
"For years, people kept saying Cristiano was the reason Portugal struggled. Others claimed the team would be better without him and that there was no difference between Portugal with or without Cristiano. Fine—now the pressure is on them to prove it."
"From this moment, people will judge this team by what they achieve after Cristiano. If they truly believed he was holding them back, then they must go on to win the next European Championship and compete seriously for the next World Cups. That's how football works—you have to back up your words with results."
"We all know Portugal's history before Cristiano Ronaldo, and we all know what he helped the national team achieve during his era. He played a huge role in changing the mentality of Portuguese football and helped deliver the biggest trophies in the country's history."
"What disappointed me wasn't the result—it was the attitude. Throughout the tournament, it often looked like the unity and fight that made this team successful in the past just wasn't there. Everyone watching could see that."
"Now there's no more debate about Cristiano. The spotlight is fully on this generation of players. They'll be judged by what they win from here on, not by what they say. Football always remembers trophies, not excuses."
🚨 Roy Keane Destroys Ronaldo's Critics After Portugal Exit:
🗣️ "I've had enough of the nonsense.
The disrespect Cristiano Ronaldo gets after every defeat is pathetic. Some of you don't watch football; you wait for Ronaldo to lose so you can celebrate like you've won a trophy yourselves.
One bad game? That's all it takes for people to forget over twenty years of excellence? That's not football, that's pure hatred.
This is a player who has dragged teams through impossible moments, broken records people said would never be broken, and carried the pressure of an entire nation every time he stepped onto a pitch. Every stadium wanted him to fail. He still found a way to win, again and again.
Now he's in the twilight of his career, and instead of showing respect, people are dancing on one defeat. It's embarrassing.
You don't erase the greatest goalscorer in football history because of ninety minutes. You don't erase five Ballons d'Or, countless trophies, and two decades of consistency because it suits your agenda. Greatness isn't judged on one night;it's judged over a lifetime.
The people mocking Ronaldo today will spend the next twenty years telling their kids they were lucky enough to watch him. That's how football works. You hate greatness while it's in front of you, then pretend you always appreciated it once it's gone.
Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't need your approval. He never did. His legacy was secured years ago. Every record, every trophy, every unforgettable night is written in football history forever.
And to those enjoying this moment, remember one thing: legends retire, but history never does. Long after the trolls have disappeared and the noise has faded, Cristiano Ronaldo will still be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever touch a football."
Cape Verde made us all believe 🇨🇻
A nation population of about 530,000 people... had MILLIONS cheering them on during the World Cup.
Incredible effort 👏
