2026 World Cup qualifying round

Nunes plays RB for City does he not?

Why can’t Martinez try him there?

 

Play Nunes at RB since Martinez loves playing players out of position and bring in Guerreiro for LB.

 

As limiting and cautious as Santos was, he's hardly any worse than Martinez. Claiming Martinez is a lot better than Scolari is also a bit mental. You're basically saying Martinez is the best manager Portugal has had in decades? Far from it.

 

Starting XI

Diogo Costa;
Nélson Semedo, Rúben Dias, Renato Veiga, Nuno Mendes;
Bruno Fernandes, Rúben Neves, Vitinha;
Bernardo Silva, Pedro Neto, Cristiano Ronaldo

 

Bernardo must have some serious dirt on Martinez to keep starting after epically failing..

 

Why are we still playing Bernardo on the wing, if were gonna play him at all, put him in the midfield where he belongs.. Good lord. I'd rather see Chico or Trincão start on the wing with Neto..

 

I will agree Dalot stinks and should be benched but Semedo isn't much better. As for the rest.... Meh, hope we win

 

That corner always looked like a goal, multiple players on the line fighting.

 

Wtf was that free kick that was the wildest thing I've ever seen

 

CR7 ties it up

Tapinaldo

 

CR7 x2

Comeback just before halftime

 

nuno mendes isnt one of the best LB in world..... Hes one of the best PLAYERS in world.

 

The Martinez hate is exaggerated. Way better thwn any coach this team has had in the last 20 years

 

finally good subs. bernardo and vitinha in the midfield for 30 seconds and you can instantly see the difference

 

he’s a free agent after this season. Would be great for Portugal if he joins psg on a free. Could have all three stsrting there

 

Watching Bernardo defend that corner was hilarious. Dude is so trash.

 

Ronaldo is a better goal scorer than Ramos but it’s insanely disrespectful that Ramos only comes in as a super late 80+ sub

 

So close to 2-2. Every corner is dangerous

 

Look at that run vitinha just did, Bruno has never done that once in his whole career

Poor Amorim, if only he had a real midfielder like vitinha as his cm

 

Ya they use epl corner cheating tsctics

 

Armenia down a man and losing, so a win here will qualify us automatically with 2 games to spare.

 

It’s suprising how weak we are in cb depth. Is Antonio and Inacio really the best this country has to offer in terms of upcoming cbs. Luckily we have one top one in dias

 

Put the goal on a plate for Ronaldo

 

Incredible pass by Bernardo which conceicao screws up.

 

Lol unbelievable

Guess qualification waits til November

Nice defending
