Don’t be so sure… Ronaldo has been benched. The coach basically said he did not like his attitude from the last match.
Agreed 100% 4 years isn't a reflection of best team it's a lotto. It's not like the nba where teams play yearly in a best of 7. Euro players get even more chances to statpad with useless euro qualifiers. Just do a world cup every 2 years cancel euro and Copa I am fine with that
The CA(South American Championship) predates the World Cup. It’s a continental title that’s hold value and it has tradition. This idea of making the World Cup every two years is a very Euro-centric ideal and not a very good one either.
Portugal playing way better without Ronaldo. He is getting carried as he sits on the bench lol. Just send him home. He doesn't deserve to be associated with this success.
Portugal look different and better without Crybaby. Swiss need to change that back three. None of them know what they are doing in terms of picking up the opposition forwards when they drop deeper. Both WBs esp.Fernandes leaving a huge amount of space in behind. They don't know what they are doing either too. Formations are only so good as the players operating them. If they don't understand it or what to do it's a waste of time.
I don't like Papu's celebration either. Looks silly. Same with that idiot Griezmann. Our players used to shove their hand in the air and that was that or a clenched fist. Job done lets go again. That said it would be quite funny. What I don't understand is a player can be booked for taking their shirt off in celebration but why are these idiots not booked ?
All over. They can rest for their quarterfinal against Morocco. I'd have them favourites to make the semifinal.
He'll come back to Newells aged 40 buy the club and then go on a spending spree and win the Libertadores...
What the last two penalty shoot outs shows is a need for preparation. Some of the body language and approach to the ball was appalling to see. The entire 23 need to practice. Perhaps we can find a giant keeper to replicate Noppert's size as well. All eventualites need to be covered. 4-0. Far better than the Brazucas. Turning the Swiss defence into cheese.
