Scotland days at school, kids faces painted in saltires at nursery, the excitement and togetherness that this tournament brought to everyone in our country means so much to us all.

No one wanted to progress more than us players, and as much as the experiences and memories we’ll share will last forever, that doesn’t take away from how much this still hurts.

What the gaffer has given this group, on and off the pitch, has been immense. Not only by taking us to major tournaments but by how together we have felt as a squad and as a nation. Representing Scotland means everything to us and to him I’ll be forever grateful.

I hope the generation of young Scots who experienced this World Cup grow up believing that seeing Scotland on this stage is the new norm.

Thanks to everyone in the stands and in the streets of Boston and Miami, and to everyone back home for the incredible support.

Proud to be Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

🚨Carlos Tevez on the most complete player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:

🗣️ “I’ve been fortunate enough to share dressing rooms and battles with both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, and that gives me a very clear perspective on what each of them brings to the game. People often talk about talent, goals, or moments but when you speak about the most complete player, you have to look at everything: physicality, mentality, consistency, and adaptability.”

“For me, Ronaldo edges that category. Not because Messi lacks anything, but because Ronaldo has built himself into a player who can dominate in every possible way. I’ve seen him in England, Spain, and Italy, and he was decisive everywhere. Different leagues, different systems, different teammates — same result.”

“In England at Manchester United, he learned discipline and end product. In Spain at Real Madrid, he became a goal machine under pressure every single week. In Italy with Juventus, he adapted again, leading the attack in a more physical, tactical environment. That ability to change and still be the main man is what makes him complete.”

“With Messi, what you get is something different — pure genius, unmatched creativity, and control in tight spaces. He makes the game look like it’s happening in slow motion. But Ronaldo brings something else: power, aerial ability, both feet, leadership, and a mentality that refuses to drop regardless of situation.”

“Having played with both, I can say this clearly Messi is the most gifted player I’ve ever seen, but Ronaldo is the most complete footballer I’ve ever shared a pitch with.”

🚨 Thierry Henry on Cristiano Ronaldo letting Nuno Mendes take the free-kick that made it 2-0:

🗣️ “For years, people have tried to paint Cristiano Ronaldo as someone who only cares about goals and personal records. But moments like this completely destroy that narrative.”

“He could have taken the free-kick himself. Nobody would have questioned it. Instead, he trusted Nuno Mendes and gave him the opportunity to shine.”

“That is what true leadership looks like. It's not always about being the hero, it's about empowering the players around you.”

“A selfish player demands every set piece and every moment of glory. Cristiano did the opposite. He put the team first, and the team benefited.”

“Great captains don't just lead with goals, they lead with trust, sacrifice, and belief in their teammates. Ronaldo showed all of that today.”

“So to everyone who says Cristiano isn't a team player... what do you have to say now?”

👏 Respect, Cristiano Ronaldo.

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Cristiano Ronaldo's first-half performance for Portugal:

"Yesterday, Lionel Messi scored two goals and the entire football world started asking the same question..."

"How would Cristiano Ronaldo respond?"

"Well, now we have the answer." 👀

"Two goals before halftime."

"Not one. Two."

"This is why I laugh when people say Ronaldo is finished."

"Finished players don't walk into World Cup matches and dominate like this."

"Finished players don't carry this level of pressure at his age."

"Finished players don't keep proving people wrong year after year."

"The funny thing is that after every quiet game, people rush to write Ronaldo's football obituary."

"Then he scores again."

"And again."

"And again."

"Today wasn't only about the goals."

"Look at his movement. Look at his leadership. Look at how much attention he attracts from defenders."

"Even the free-kick goal from Nuno Mendes started because Ronaldo made the right decision."

"Most strikers would have tried to take the glory for themselves."

"Ronaldo saw the better option and Portugal benefited."

"That's experience. That's football intelligence."

"People think greatness is only about scoring."

"Sometimes greatness is knowing when not to score."

"Yesterday Messi reminded the world who he is."

"Today Ronaldo has done exactly the same."

🔥🇵🇹

"Messi scored two."

"Ronaldo answered with two."

"And somehow people still think these legends are finished."

"Football keeps changing. The names at the top somehow stay the same." 🐐
