@Jacobtheclipper@NC_Skins_WFT It’s always Americans trying to say what should and shouldn’t be in fútbol. We enjoyed this sport all over the world for decades now you guys want to change everything about it
Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
@stoolpresidente Stupid ass logic. So I’m assuming you were a fan of LeBron crying to the refs vs the warriors to get klay in trouble? Cause that’s basically what the us did to get out of the suspension
🎙️| Pedro Neto on why Portugal players are not passing to Cristiano Ronaldo:
“People keep asking why some of the players don’t pass to Ronaldo as much anymore.
The truth is, sometimes it feels like everything is about one thing: reaching 1,000 goals. Every attack, every chance, every decision on the pitch ends up going back to that number.
We are at the World Cup. The priority should be Portugal, not personal records.
I think some players are frustrated because they want to play for the team, while Ronaldo is always thinking about scoring the next goal. That’s why you see certain players choosing different options instead of forcing the ball to him every time.
Cristiano is a legend, nobody can deny that. But right now it feels like the 1,000-goal record is more important to him than winning the World Cup, and the players can see it too.”(@talkSPORT_)
🚨Luis Figo on Joao Neves saying Cristiano Ronaldo is just an ordinary player like the rest of his Portugal teammates and Bruno Fernandes dropping a like under his Instagram post.
🗣️ First of all I respect Cristiano Ronaldo for all he's done for our country all these years. He's a Portuguese legend and loved by everyone but I question his leadership abilities.
In Euro 2004 I was still playing for the national team coach along with Deco. Cristiano Ronaldo was the youngest player in the squad. Everyone treated him with love and respect despite being older than him. We saw his abilities on the pitch we gave him passes to do the dirty job.
Today he's above 40 and still playing for the national team. I expected him to play with little selfishness. Against Dr Congo, Bruno Fernandes was in a better position to score. He was calling for him to pass the ball but he shot instead and failed to convert.
I saw many Portuguese citizens blaming Bruno Fernandes for dividing the team but that's not the issue. Cristiano Ronaldo as the Oldest player needs to unite the dressing room with Roberto Martinez.
If you look at the Argentina national team,you will see all the players treating Lionel Messi with respect including the coaches. This isn't because he won 8 Ballon D'ors,no! he's down to the Earth. He knows how to keep his teammates happy on and off the pitch.
Everyone in the Argentina team can sacrifice anything to see him happy because he treats them like a family and not strangers. Cristiano Ronaldo should learn from that. You can have the talent but Character is very important in every field of life.
