He's got to really put a shift in to try and get a result for the team.

Will be interesting to see how he plays for the last 30 mins.
 
He just hangs in the air for headers. One of the only players I have seen do that.

Tim Cahill once spent the whole time a free kick was being retaken in mid air.
 
1 more to be all time EUROs top scorer (with Platini)
 
Cristiano reminds me of Lebron James. He's a massive arse, a whiner a complainer and more, but when he's on his game he's one of the best of all time.

Yeah, agree. He is an amazing player, his will to win is remarkable. Unlucky to be the same generation with Messi, Messi is a Savant, it's unfair. But one thing is annoying me about him. Hus antics and that he is taking every freekick. And the bad about that is, that he is taking every freekick directly, doesn't matter from where. It would be better to pass them in the box, but he is egocentric. He is bad at them, it's wasting chances imo.
 
So Ronaldo has now scored in four Euros. Messi hasn't scored a single goal in this competition. Ronaldo > Messi.

In all seriousness though, that's quite an achievement.
 
Well he was never having 3 bad games in a row. Him, Nani and Pepe were all good.
 
Huh? He literally tried to get Portugal to lose. Most diabolical defender I've ever seen
? Hungary troubled their defence a lot and if not for him Portugal could have conceded more.

Agree I thought he was their best defender. Eliseu was diabolically bad. I don't remember Carvalho doing anything at all, good or bad.
 
Lol. I'd rather have Ronaldo going nuts than the English twats going out with a whimper, as always.
 
Told you that he's hitting good form. If Portugal beat Croatia can see them reaching the final.

Fernando Santos will have to stop messing up. Put players playing based on merit/form and not because of their names. André Gomes, Vieirinha, Eliseu and João Moutinho shouldn't be in the team.

JM has been particularly disappointing for me. Really seems to be struggling to influence games.

Thought Andre Gomes was decent enough in the first two games.

Thought Portugal had a really good game vs Austria but were unlucky not to score at least twice. Today you conceded two deflected goals and that was a bit unlucky as well but your defence wasn't good. If you play like that vs Croatia it won't be pretty. But you won't play like that and you can go further in the Euros.

He is playing injured. It's not because of lack of quality that he should be off. João Moutinho on the other hand is really out of form.

He had an atrocious season at Mónaco (injuries and form) and is struggling physically. He is usually in the top 3 performers in our national team along with Ronaldo and Nani.

Agreed but i still think Fernando Santos isn't the right manager for us. He is a small team manager with a defensive mentality and we don't play like that.
 
Who usually starts at LB for Portugal ? Eliseu or Guerrero ? Cause Guerrero seemed a better player for me.

Guerreiro and he played very well in the first two games. He didn't play today because of injury. Eliseu is crap. Can't understand how Antunes wasn't picked instead of him.

Yeah Eliseu is terrible, is Guerreiro going to be fit for the knockout game? I thought Quaresma was great when he came on, gave them a lot more width and seemed to free Ronaldo up a bit. The first time I noticed Andre Gomes was half an hour in, I genuinely thought they'd made a sub and I hadn't noticed, but nope apparently he started
 
Also I thought Eliseu was a central midfielder because of how badly out of position he was all the time, and his decision making is awful.

I dunno mate. Dunno how serious is Guerreiro's injury. Agreed about Quaresma. But his best performances come as an impact sub, so i think Santos will mantain him on the bench for the game against Croatia. He will probably enter in the second half. About André Gomes, he is struggling with a leg injury, i think he won't be in the starting line up against Croatia.
