What a story. Cape Verde. 🇨🇻
Ned isn’t even a character. He’s a prop that talks sometimes. He has no story, no agency, no narrative importance at all. He’s superfluous & superficial, just like the rest of the MCU Spidey supporting cast.
Harry is a legitimate character in every sense of the word.
🚨 Zinedine Zidane on Portugal’s performance:
“I don’t have much to say about Portugal, but one thing is very clear: there are bigger problems than Cristiano Ronaldo playing 90 minutes or people talking about his age.
What I saw was a team full of talented players who are not willing to sacrifice enough for their country. Too many of them play like club players, not national team players.
Look at the great teams in this tournament. They fight for each other, they suffer together, and they do everything to help their leader. I didn’t see that hunger from Portugal.
People say they have the best midfield in the tournament because of what those players do at their clubs, but football is about what you do together. Against Uzbekistan, they looked like a serious team, but against Colombia, they were nowhere to be found.
If Ronaldo received ten clear chances and missed them, then blame him. But when neither he nor the other strikers get any service, the problem lies elsewhere.”
🚨🎙️ Micah Richards on Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ “Deep down, I actually want Roberto Martínez to bench Cristiano Ronaldo for one game.
Not because I think Ronaldo is the problem, but because I want to see what this Portugal team really looks like without him.
Argentina’s match against Jordan showed that they are still a very good team even without Messi. Messi is a bonus, but the system still works.
Their second-string side looked organised, the football was fluid, the movement was excellent, and every player seemed to know exactly where everyone else would be.
That tells you the manager has built a proper team.
With Portugal, I’m not convinced it’s the same. I don’t think this team would look anywhere near as convincing without Cristiano Ronaldo on the pitch.
For me, that says more about the team and the manager than it does about Ronaldo.
I’m still not convinced Roberto Martínez is the right man for this job.” 👀🇵🇹
