And other people need to jump on that rep bandwagon for the first one. Only one astute poster hit it up so far.
Wow... Goncalo Ramos has scored the first hat-trick of the 2022 World Cup. He is only the 2nd Portuguese player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup knock-out game:🥇 Eusebio vs. North Korea 1966🥈 Goncalo Ramos vs. Switzerland 2022Incredible performance. 🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/JlfQXMGOk8— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave) December 6, 2022
As my mom was asking me about who was good when I visited her and watched a few matches over Thanksgiving, I told her that if Portugal ever are let loose and play attacking football, they are my favorite to win the cup.
Fair point. Also. . . the last time a Portuguese player scored three in an elimination game, England went on to win the world cup!!! Okay... not a good point.
This is the scenario I envision. Ramos scores 8 or 9 more goals while Ronnie warms the bench. In the final against the Lions Ramos is benched and Harry Maguire nutmegs Ron for the winning goal!
