To witness this moment tonight @Cristiano my childhood hero score his 100th and 111th international goals in front of my eyes to break the all time record words can’t describe 🇵🇹🐐🔥 @selecaoportugal
Scored in a final against the current European champions a year ago, just won a league title too.
Meanwhile the likes of you worship Bruno that's never won a league title and can't even step up in a final against Tottenham or Villarreal
Maybe it's him that needs dropping? 💀
27 games in the World Cup so far and only 4 penalties have been given
To put it into context, Argentina got 5 penalties in 7 World Cup games in 2022
Yeah, it wasn't rigged 🤣🤣
@talkSPORT Someone who doesn’t even know what playing in a conference league feels like is having an opinion on the guy arguably called the greatest football player ever.
English football pundits and just blabbing. Should I call that hate or pure Jealousy?
🚨Jürgen Klopp on Portugal’s performance against DR Congo:
🗣️ “Look, everybody wants to talk about Cristiano Ronaldo.
His age.
Whether he should start.
Whether he should play ninety minutes.
For me, that is not the biggest problem Portugal have right now.
The bigger issue is the team around him.
I watched the game and I saw a lot of talented players, very good players, but not enough intensity, not enough sacrifice, and not enough urgency.
International football is different from club football.
You cannot just rely on technical quality.
You have to fight.
You have to run.
You have to suffer together.
The best teams in this World Cup are doing exactly that.
I did not see enough of it from Portugal.
People talk about this midfield like it is the best in the tournament because of what these players do for their clubs.
But football is not won on reputation.
It is won through collective effort.
Against DR Congo, there was too much comfortable football.
Too many safe passes.
Too much waiting for somebody else to make something happen.
If Cristiano Ronaldo was getting chance after chance and missing them, then okay, we can have that conversation.
But when your forwards are not getting proper service, when your attacking players are isolated, then the problem is much bigger than one player.
Portugal have enough quality to go far in this tournament.
But quality alone is never enough.
You need hunger.
You need intensity.
You need a team willing to do the dirty work for each other.
And right now, that is what I think Portugal are missing.”

🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra fires back at Thierry Henry for saying Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t know how to move as a No. 9 inside the box:
🗣️ “It’s funny how Thierry Henry wants to teach Cristiano Ronaldo how to move in the box and score goals. What a joke. 😂
This is Cristiano Ronaldo we are talking about, the man with the most goals in football history.
He plays as a No. 9 and has scored more goals than the very Thierry Henry who is criticizing him.
Yesterday’s match wasn’t on Cristiano, it was on Roberto Martínez.
DR Congo are a disciplined low-block team. They defend compactly, close down spaces, and frustrate opponents.
They are comfortable conceding possession while maintaining a strong defensive structure.
Roberto Martínez should have known this and come up with more ways to break a team like that down.
You cannot keep blaming the striker every time the team struggles to create chances.
At this point, I think it’s personal for Henry and not really about football anymore.” 👀
🚨 Marcelo on the hatred towards Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ “Many of those who hate him only hate him because of what he has done to them and their clubs in the past. If I had played against him, I would probably hate him too!”
@RodinSimi This is the worst take I’ve seen on this app all year like AWFUL!
Did you watch the game yesterday ? “Doesn’t want to pass” that’s all he did yesterday 😅
Ruben Neves is awful for Portugal HE is weak with no pace or athleticism.
@ESPNUK It’s crazy how these guys are geting any viewings with lazy takes like this. Tbf I’ve got a few id*it’s in the group chat that actually lap this rubbish up and they’re grown adults 😅
🚨🏴 Wayne Rooney on Portugal's performance vs DR Congo:
“Neither Bruno nor Bernardo created a single clear chance for Cristiano throughout the entire game. Forget creating chances, they didn't even score themselves.
It doesn't make sense to me that people are calling for Ronaldo to be benched when he isn't getting any service in the first place.
Bruno was supposed to be Portugal's best player at this World Cup, even a potential Golden Ball contender. What exactly did he do in this match, and why isn't the media holding him to the same standard?” 🇵🇹🤔
Bruno Fernandes ❌
Bernardo Silva ❌
Vitinha ❌
Ramos ❌
Before you Criticize and BLAME Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal 🇵🇹 abysmal performance yesterday, listen to wisdom here 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
@I_amMukhtar@talkSPORT pundits yesterday were saying “he’s being lazy not coming back on”
Again such LAZY punditry from people who don’t know what they’re talking about. Aguero was constantly on the shoulder bw and offside for city in his prime it’s what a good striker does!
Zlatan + Henry: 856 goals
Ronaldo alone: 973 goals
Two haters combined can’t match Ronaldo’s numbers, but want to lecture him how to score for his team, hilarious...
🚨📲 NEW: The Algerian defender, Assa Mandi, has taken to Instagram to complain about the refs' decision in the match against Argentina.
"If I’d fractured my ankle last night, the guy who did it would’ve walked away with no card. Refs need to do better. The whole world is watching."
