Portugal are not favorites for the World Cup, not because they lack quality, names in certain positions, or because some stars underperform for the national team, as people will start claiming today to defend a certain player.
Portugal are not favorites because they will play the entire World Cup with one player who makes every opponent stronger than them. That player is Cristiano Ronaldo.
He doesn’t defend, doesn’t press, ruins attacks, and only cares about his own interests.
By what logic are Portugal’s players supposed to fight for him when he only plays for himself?
This moment explains everything. Portugal needed a goal, the ball was heading to Bruno Fernandes, who was about to shoot. Instead, Ronaldo decided to take the shot himself, hoping he might get lucky and score.
The smarter and more reliable option was to leave it for Bruno, and Portugal would have won today.
As long as Ronaldo is Portugal’s starting striker, there is nothing to fear from them.
They don’t realize how foolish they sound when they say men are jealous or threatened because women are now making money. Modern men didn’t grow up in some oppressed era….we never lived that reality.
We went to school with women. We were raised by working mothers. We have sisters with degrees, daughters in classrooms, and wives who earn money and still cook, clean, and run homes. So stop pretending this is new or scary to us. It’s normal.
Men don’t care that women make money. We’ve always been around it. What we care about is cooperation, stability, and family. Wanting a woman who can cook, clean, and nurture a home isn’t about control…it’s biology and common sense. Those traits signal that his investment and offspring will be taken care of.
Money doesn’t replace femininity, just like a paycheck doesn’t make a man a leader or a provider. These preferences aren’t social constructs you can shame away. Society changes…biology doesn’t.
Man I appreciate you standing up for Herbert all year, but everything finally caught up with this team at the worst possible moment. I still think he’s good but man it’s hard to defend him until he wins when it matters
1-10 on 3rd down
1-3 on 4th down
1 lost fumble
6 sacks
5 punts
159 yards for Herbert with a ton on check-downs down 2 scores.
3 damn points.
Just a gross offensive game from Herbert, Harbaugh, and the Chargers.
