Is Ronaldo ever not trying to clock himself on the stadium screens?

[fazzyfox]

Where’s the red button player choice thingy, Bruno close ups please 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Etched into the annuls of time as a bloke who never did anything at a world cup, fantastic

[Jattdogg]

That was like an over 50s walking football match.

[adejo92]

Portugal did naff all until they went a goal down so deserve to be binned out the competition. 

 

Won't have to watch Ronaldo trot around moaning at his team mates now atleast.

[StanSP]

Portugal barely even tried to attack let alone go out to win the game. 

 

Ronaldo looks very resigned. 

[spacemunky]

Of course I had to go out for a bit and Spain score 

[RoboFox]

That was minging.

Why didn’t they 🤣 

[RowlattsFox]

Feel like that was a typical Spain game. Patient and get a goal in the end. 

 

Portugal need to look at a home world cup and build for it. If Ronaldo selfishly carries on then he needs to not be picked. 

Have a go at the euros and build for the world cup. 

[StanSP]

Ronaldo and Bruno tears. Inject it. 

[21st Century Fox]

Let it rain Ronny, let it rain.

[FoxesWalk]

This is exactly what Spain did when they won in 2010. Suffocated other teams. 
 

It’s ridiculous they’ve only conceded 5 shots on target in 5 games. 

[RowlattsFox]

Would love to see how much Ronaldo changes once the camera stops following in him. Cynical i know. 

[EnderbyFox]

Bloke from work just put in the group chat that the game was a "damp squid" I don't think its a typo either

Tactical masterclass by Martinez, minimal effort for 91 minutes so you’ve preserved enough energy to actual play when you go behind. Spectacular.

Top and Rudkin have keenly added his name to the file for future managerial appointments.

[Jaspa]

Are Spain just that good at controlling and strangling games or were Portugal just too reserved? 

 

Zero goals conceded in 5 matches España

Either an IT Crowd connoisseur or just dumb. 

[Jattdogg]

Was a pleasure seeing the skillset over the years. Of course, don't care for him or anyone Portugal but can respect a great player regardless.

 

Portugal can now move on to find the next generation.

 

Side note, i dont give a shite about Ronaldo or Messi. Both great players but both willy pullers to me lol.

All them pre-Madonnas passing it round the back too!

[Iwebema]

Never understood why they wasted these tournaments on Martinez, awful awful coach. Pissed Belgiums golden generation and made this great Portugal squad play well beneath their ability.

 

Even the most hard-core Ronaldo/Portugal fan has to admit Ronaldo has been a huge weak link for a while now.
