Such a weird game from Portugal. My thing is if you were ok with finishing second in the group (draw or loss vs Colombia) then why not rest starters at that point. Or just go all out attack for a win because even if you lose you are in the same scenario as a draw. So weird.
Sad that these people are given a platform to talk! What a joke. Ronaldo gave it his all for Portugal no matter what anyone says. Stop using his name for clicks @MenInBlazers !
THANK YOU, SLOVENIA. 🇸🇮
On a night Cristiano Ronaldo tried to make about him, Slovenia were inches off greatest win in their history. A nation of 2.1 million leave tournament unbeaten in normal time, playing football many could learn from. Heroic. 👏
@americanazorean Obviously someone didn’t watch the qualifiers & friendlies leading up to the Euro where Bruno was arguably Portugal’s best player. He did not play well today but was also playing deeper in the midfield which doesn’t suit him. Seems like someone has some bias towards Bernardo 🤡
3 Main Takeaway’s from the Portugal-Czechia match:
1. Bernardo hasn’t played well enough to be a solidified starter
2. Bruno needs to play more advanced, not as defensive, Palhinha alongside would help
3. Nuno Mendes needs to start at LWB or LB, Not LCB
Thoughts?
1. Renato is exactly what portugal needed in a game like this.
2. Ruben Neves should never start another big match for Portugal again.
3. A healthy Nuno Mendes was much needed.
4. Fernando Santos, thanks for the memories and trophies but it’s time for new ideas.
