MC Prussian Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 they deserved to win like But they didn't. Ego got in the way of winning.
foxfanazer Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Imagine - Portugal could technically still drop out in the group stages! Deserve to qualify....
Fox92 Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 What does 'deserved to win' even mean. Sounds like the bollocks spurs fans spout Every football fan in the World must be a Spurs fan then.
ScouseFox Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 But they didn't. Ego got in the way of winning. yeah i know they didn't, but they deserved to
Jimothy Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Every football fan in the World must be a Spurs fan then. I never use that terminology, it's idiotic.
MC Prussian Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 yeah i know they didn't, but they deserved to Yes, they deserve to fail in this tournament. Ronaldo, what a con artist on the international stage.
Chester Dontlie Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Ah, it's that less known member of Wham!, Posing with his back to the wall on this classic photo
Mikey Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Fair play to him though, he doesn't give up does he. Once one comes, he'll get a few won't he. Probably get a trick against Hungary.
ScouseFox Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 most capped portuguese player ever, 58 international goals, finals and semi finals or major tournaments, con artist. incredible.
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Why are some people acting like they've never heard or used the phrase 'deserved to win?'
Chester Dontlie Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 I say Cristiano was crap. Christian on the other hand...
Jimothy Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Why are some people acting like they've never heard or used the phrase 'deserved to win?' I have, far too many times. It's an idiotic comment, with idiotic reasoning, it makes no sense. You failed to achieve the aim of the game more times than the other team, so you got what you deserved.
MC Prussian Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 most capped portuguese player ever, 58 international goals, finals and semi finals or major tournaments, con artist. incredible. Failed at the 2002 U-17 European Championship Eliminated in the first round of the 2004 Summer Olympics Lost the EURO 2004 final in his native Portugal Lost in the 2006 WC semi-final against France One goal at EURO 2008, eliminated in the quarter-finals Failed to score a single goal in the 2010 WC qualifying stages Eliminated in the 2010 WC Best of 16 round Extremely wasteful in the 2012 EURO semi-final against Spain Eliminated in the 2014 WC group stages (although in his defense, he was carrying an injury) 58 goals scored over the course of 13 years - that's a bit more than four goals a year. Hmm...
Fox92 Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Ronaldo, what a con artist on the international stage. If he scores then he's the first ever to score in four European Championships.

Hmm... Why are you talking about when the team were knocked out. Cruyff, Van Basten, Platni ... Never won World Cups.. Still among the greatest players ever.
Guest Col city fan Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 How the fook did Portugal not win that game!
Chester Dontlie Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 Why are some people acting like they've never heard or used the phrase 'deserved to win?' It's arbitrary, depends on where one's sitting. In football you have to earn it, and you do that by scoring more goals than opponent. If not... it's just a game of missed opportunities, bottled chances etc. At least that's how I look at things. If they gave points for who's more "deserving" Tottenham could as well win the league, because according to some of the press, they "deserved it"
MC Prussian Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 How the fook did Portugal not win that game! Cristiano Ronaldo
Chester Dontlie Posted 18 June 2016 Posted 18 June 2016 How the fook did Portugal not win that game! I'm quite positive Polish milkman would bury that peno Milik > Ronaldo

Hmm... Yet you fail to mention the good things? Example, goals he scored in 2012 to get them through the group and into that semi final. Or the hat trick he scored against Sweden to get them to the 2014 World Cup, dragging them there on his own. And in 2004, when he was 19 and he was the best player at the tournament, but he's a con artist cos his team lost in the final... Not played too well last couple of games but on another day he'd have 3 tonight and 1 or 2 in the first game. Con artist

Just the same as why we use "deserved" or "they didn't deserve that". I take it some of you won't be claiming we "deserved" to win a game next season despite us being the better team. As for the press saying Spurs deserved the title. When? I must have missed that because we got all the plaudits we deserved. (Is deserved correct in this context?).

I must have missed that because we got all the plaudits we deserved. (Is deserved correct in this context?). Take this one for example. It's obvious that this Guardian journo is looking at the whole season from Tottenham supporter's point of view. It's even in the headline. "Tottenham win the title" , Leicester are but a "fairytale" for him. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/11/tottenham-title-promise-watchable-leicester-mauricio-pochettino Obviously it's his right, everyone supports his own team. it's just a matter of definitions and as I said, arbitrary. You say they deserved it, I say they didn't. They should prove it - by scoring a goal more than opponents, thats all. As for me, I'm as biased as one can be. Even if the opponents have 99% possession and 20 shots on goal to 1 and Leicester somehow nicks a win, I will say that without a shadow of a doubt that Leicester deserved it. Simply because we scored more goals than them. Unless it's a "Hand of God" or something similarly unfair that wins it, then I guess it's debatable.
