    Again joao neves not stsrting. I Meanwhile Viega, whose only accomplishment has been earning a transfer to Chelsea….where he only starts Europa league games, is already a starter. Ruben neves starting too!

    Oh and of course Bruno, who has been the worst player in man utd this season and possibly the worst player in the entire premier league is starting once again. What a joke.

    Our squad today is the best piece of evidence as to why we will never win a World Cup or euro with this generation.

    Ronaldo 40 year old Saudi
    Neto chelsea bench warmer
    Leao - unserious player who doesn’t even do much in Milan these days
    Bruno - midtable midfielder
    Ruben neves - Saudi
    Viega - Chelsea benchwarmer
    Dalot - midtable fullback

    The only actual top level players in our squad are Bernardo, Dias, Mendes, cancelo, j neves and Vitinha. Rest are all overrated bums

    ya....... I'm throwing in the towel. I wave the white flag not only for the players ive consistently criticized but also the ones ive defended and have had high hopes for..... leao the last two years in Italy has been trash...... very low IQ footballer, joao felix for some reason keeps getting signed to top level teams just to sit on the bench..... yes bernardo silva is a key part of city but pep turned that creative genius into a timid cdm and when he puts on our NT jersey its somehow 10x worse. Im starting to think that we might have the most overrated NT on the planet.... Our striker is 40 yrs old and the last person who had some balls to tell him he's not what he use to be got fired. Yes will crush teams in qualifying but that's about it. We aren't who we think we are and i don't see us beating a top8 team anytime soon, not with our style of player or squad selections. Lets take j.neves for a second..... do i have high hopes? yes. do i like what i see so far? of course but at the end of the day he's playing on psg in France...... you put anyone in that roll on that team in that league they're going to look good.
    We are overrated. beating Poland today 3-0 wont change that.

    By far the most overrated national team. And it all starts with Bruno, who will be on a stat padding mission today. There’s a reason bud plays on a midtable premier league team with ZERO interest from better teams. The fact he got them to give him a 300k renewal is beyond hilarious

    Why is Vitinha on the bench and what does Martinez have against Jota?

    We need to start to play without Ronaldo to prepare for the next World Cup. Same with Neves, João should be playing to get him integrated before 2026

    Neves having a great game. Winning balls, putting in great passes.

    Nice goal by Bernardo

    however we still look utter trash. Just like we did at the euro

    Ruben neves is definitely a better dm than Palhinha.

    Yep. There has to be locker room issues within this team and it would be because of Ronaldo

    We basically play 442 bc Bruno is such a terrible midfielder that he just strands in the striker position

    the whole team played great even the new lad at the back looked fast and solid only negative I have from the game is we were sloppy in front of the goal should have been 4-5 up

    I can see why Veiga played. I thought he looked really good with Dias for a first game, he’s quick, solid and tall.

    Wonder why Joao Neves and Vitinha didn’t play

    Ruben Neves—I'm usually quick to criticize him, but he played fantastic. He played simple, decisive football. I like finally seeing another fast, tricky winger playing on the right. It's about time. Bernardo belongs in the center of the field. Again, it was a decent game against the opposition we were supposed to beat convincingly.

    The issue i have with this game is we basically played a 442 with bruno and ronaldo as striker. If he intends on using this against better teams we will get cooked similarly to how united gets cooked on a weekly basis. Poland just lacked the pace and quality to capitalize on us being a man down in midfield.

    Another issue is that most of our chances came due to Leao just beasting it, and thats not really a sustainable method of chance creation. He also often tires early into the second half because of this, and the level of our play dropped dramatically when he went off. I still think we would struggle to score against any half decent team, even Slovenia.

    I really dont understand why we give a player like bruno such freedom on the pitch as if he is prime messi. Especially when he is such a limited player (ie cannot dribble, loses the ball alot...). I personally think we would be better off putting another man in midfield (nunes, joao neves, vitinha etc) rather than him playing this pseudo striker role. I wouldnt mind him as an impact sub considering he is actually useful in a penalty shootout

    Play this next game.

    ----------Costa
    Cancelo Dias Inacio Mendes
    ------J.Neves---Bernardo-----------
    -----------Vitinha-----------------
    Trincao -- Ronaldo ---- Leao

    Bruno starts again.

    Its crazy how we got utterly exposed at the euro, and nothing has changed. Well let me correct myself, there has only been one change......Pepe (our best cb) retiring. So one can argue we are even worse now.

    I hate that our nations league group is weak as piss. This fraud of a coach is gonna once again rack up w's only to go to the world cup and not be able to score against any decent opposition. Heres hoping hes fired when we inevitably get owned by the first good team we face at the Nations League semi finals. Unfortunately, this will result in Jose Mourinho being appointed. Whos nickname, the "special" one, has taken a whole new meaning in 2024

    Our only possible saviour that can give us any shot of winning a world cup is the MASTER Jorge Jesus. Its embarassing we hired this bald Spanish fraud over him. He already conquered South America, and is now conquering Ronaldo in his Saudi league. He must be given the job for world cup 2026, where he will conquer the world.

    bruno being an undisputed starter at that position so fkin criminal.
    39yr old starting 2 games in a row is also a joke, he drops so far down the field to receive the ball and do nothing. what are we doing here? let our two most skilled midfielders bernardo and vitinha play with each other or at the very least let j.neves get a run with his psg running mate. fk give felix a run. at least at left wing or as a striking partner with ronaldo or jota.

    Yes I get your frustration … it is a bs tournament but we need our better players to get used to playing with each other/mesh . Btw, I do have to say the Felix has done nothing to earn a start . He is off .
