Gabb why don't you leave Portugal alone and talk about your italian team. You guys said Portugal will not be qualified for the World Cup, CR7 is dead, they will be stopped by italy. Here we are. CR7 always got the last word you guys just never learn.
Why does he say santosh
The lineup will be : Diogo Costa . Cancelo Ruben dias pepe Nuno Mendes . Palhinha , Bruno and Bernardo . Ronaldo jota and otavio . The only thing that might change is otavio out Bernardo plays there and moutinho in the midfield that’s how santos will play. It also depends on the form of Renato Sanches and vitinha before the World Cup ( hope the last one gets called )
Player to watch this world cup is João Félix, this is going to be his WC
Let's be honest, the best portugal line up is without ronaldo in it – with all due respect
Imagine a front 3 of Leao/Felix, Jota and Bernardo with Bruno, ,Renato and Neves behind them
Give ball to cr7 if he scores den he is incredible but he don't score nd Portugal loss den blame on santos easy plan from media
the biggest problem of Portugal we have too much good player we don't know how to mix them!!
dont you guys get bored about talking about ronaldo all the time its annoying at this point
There is no problem with Cristiano, you very bad sickening not worth a penny gossip journalists. The players look up to him and play for him. This is all Portugal needs to win Qatar! No country will be keen to confront this team – period.
Portugal has so much 🔥 power it’s ridiculous. Bernardo, Jota, Felix, Otavio, Leao, Fernandez, Guedes, Silva. Half of the ones I mentioned are on the bench!! Then there is the midfield Sanches, Neves, Moutinho, Nunes. Carvalho…I’m going to stop too many more to list. Yeah I know didn’t mention Ronaldo, do I have to? Santos is got a very good problem to deal with😂. This team should be into the semi finals of World Cup at a minimum!! If the team plays to its potential yeah no team wants to face them. They can only beat themselves most offensively complete team in tournament.
Robbo is most astute among fc crew
Who should take over A Seleção when Santos leaves? 🇵🇹🤔?
Santos MUST retire now his time is now over
Put him on the bench. Tap the ball in can do other people.
If u want views…just write ronaldo. You will get ESPN. YOU USE THIS MAN FOR YOUR VIEW.
Why nobody talks about Leão.
This bald headed guy on the right is one weirdly biased commentator/pundit. Cringe listening to him, I just turn it off.
santo will afraid of ronaldo and will keep playing him in every game, at the end portugal will struggle and wont even get into semifinal
Espn fc and their pundits are both hypocrists and biased. I use to live watching this show, but it's obvious that they have a narrative to diminish the achievements of Ronaldo and which ever team he plays for. It's so sad. And disgusting. Give them praise, honour them.. Because if portugal win the world cup they will become aresnholes
Ronaldo will play for Portugal as long as he wants to. He is everything for this portugal team. He is the greatest player of all time. So you guys can cry in your studio but Ronnie doesn't give a s*it. And Robbo you are an awful pundit and commentator.
He should clearly be sacked before the tournament starts but unfortunately thats unlikely to happen
Ronaldo should be benched. It‘s funny no journalist is willing to criticise him and admit Jota and Joao Felix have been way better than him and obviously deserve to start.
Dont forget Nations League!
Italy couldn't score a single goal against them so scoring two was good from Bruno.
They didn't make it difficult. Fifa F ed them and robbed CR7 of a goal lmfao gtfo
If anyone has the opinion that portugal are better off without ronaldo you should slap yourself
With this squad strength and options, Portugal should at least reach the semi-finals, with the right coach probably along with with France favorites nr 1.
