🚨Roy Keane on Portugal’s performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup:
“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 his age. What I saw was a team full of talented players who were not willing to sacrifice enough for their country. Too many of them played 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 for their clubs, but football is about what you do together. They looked like completely different players from the ones we see every week at club level.
If Ronaldo received ten clear chances and missed them, then blame him. But when neither he nor the other strikers got enough service, the problem is somewhere else.”
🚨 Roy Keane Destroys Ronaldo's Critics After Portugal Exit:
🗣️ "I've had enough of the nonsense.
The disrespect Cristiano Ronaldo gets after every defeat is pathetic. Some of you don't watch football; you wait for Ronaldo to lose so you can celebrate like you've won a trophy yourselves.
One bad game? That's all it takes for people to forget over twenty years of excellence? That's not football, that's pure hatred.
This is a player who has dragged teams through impossible moments, broken records people said would never be broken, and carried the pressure of an entire nation every time he stepped onto a pitch. Every stadium wanted him to fail. He still found a way to win, again and again.
Now he's in the twilight of his career, and instead of showing respect, people are dancing on one defeat. It's embarrassing.
You don't erase the greatest goalscorer in football history because of ninety minutes. You don't erase five Ballons d'Or, countless trophies, and two decades of consistency because it suits your agenda. Greatness isn't judged on one night;it's judged over a lifetime.
The people mocking Ronaldo today will spend the next twenty years telling their kids they were lucky enough to watch him. That's how football works. You hate greatness while it's in front of you, then pretend you always appreciated it once it's gone.
Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't need your approval. He never did. His legacy was secured years ago. Every record, every trophy, every unforgettable night is written in football history forever.
And to those enjoying this moment, remember one thing: legends retire, but history never does. Long after the trolls have disappeared and the noise has faded, Cristiano Ronaldo will still be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever touch a football."
Karou Mitoma out the World Cup 💔
I’m sorry for Japan.
I’m sorry for football fans everywhere who won’t see this incredible player at the World Cup.
And most of all I’m sorry for the guy himself. He didn’t deserve this.
I hope Brignton achieve big things this month so we can see Karou in Europe next season.
Speedy recovery Mitoma-san 🙇 🇯🇵 🌟
