Reminder Cristiano Ronaldo should have missed that match (and Tuesday v Uzbekistan) but FIFA decided to suspend two games of his three-game suspension for violent conduct in Portugal's penultimate World Cup qualifier
DR Congo probably quite grateful in hindsight
I cannot lie, and this is my personal conviction, if somebody mentions a player as their best ever and it’s not Messi, i just know i cannot discuss football matters with you at all. No need
"Messi no good. Di Maria carried him"
No problem. E don reach time for Bruno Fernandes and Vitinha to carry Ronaldo oo
Make we no hear "the team let him down"
Ronaldo pretty much straight down the tunnel while all the other Portugal players are still on the pitch to clap the fans. Thousands all the way from Portugal.
Self serving wanker of a guy.
If you offered Ronaldo 3 goals but Portugal lose this game 4-3, he’s taking it. He’s been running offside all game begging for a goal, brother is STARVING.
This Portugal team is extremely poor. It will take a miracle for them to win this World Cup. After such an incredible career, it feels like Cristiano Ronaldo has been unlucky to end up with a group of players who simply do not match his ambition and mentality.
It’s a real pity.
DR Congo,
I have no words. You have made all of Africa proud.
You deserve to qualify more than us assuredly. We wouldn’t have played like this.
You didn’t even sit back, you created many chances against a top side like Portugal.
Thank you DRC.
At Qatar 2022 WC, Ronaldo played 5 games and scored only a goal (penalty against Ghana).
In Euros 2024, he played 5 games and scored zero goals.
He’s stinking the pitch again in 2026 WC. He’s done at the top level. He offers nothing to this Portuguese team. Tell him the truth.
The World Cup just has a special charm. It's given us Guillermo Ochoa who could still change his mind and play in 2030. Enner Valencia still plays for Ecuador after 40 years, Ricardo Rodriguez is still 33 after 5 World cups 😂.
Javier Aguirre is still very much around, Murat Yakin remains a beautiful man
We've been watching Messi since 2006!!!! And South africa are still a poor team since 1998!
Goddammit the World Cup is the Greatest sporting event that ever existed
