Martinez should be sacked for constantly picking old man Ronald ahead of Jota & Ramos

It's clearly obvious that Roberto Martinez's bosses at the Portuguese Federation have a demand that Ronaldo plays if he wants and doesn't come off unless he wants to. I thought he played well in Portugal's first two games, but he was rubbish in the other 3. In this game it felt like Portugal played with 10 men all 120 minutes. Disgusting.

Deschamps took off Mbappe at least. Martinez somehow had the gaul to take off Fernandes at 60 when he was the only guy making runs in behind and winning headers, and still attempt to give motivational instructions and all that. How could you attempt to gain the respect from the players while doing that? Pepe played his heart out and even outran Thuram, while Ronaldo wasted more of his energy complaining and gesticulating to his teammates instead of doing anything productive or conducive for team morale.

Bellingham should never move to the Premier League for the simple reason that if people actually watched him week in week out they’d realise he’s nowhere near as good as the hype suggests.

Ronaldo spends at least 30% of the time checking himself out on the big screen. It's all about him.

I'm Portuguese. I and plenty of my fellow countrymen see what you see and agree that Portugal for the last decade has been acting like a cult. It's embarassing. Even when Ronaldo actually played well it was too much. The Portuguese Football Federation is in his hands and no one dares criticize him, including the media, which have over the years perfected a particular type of newspeak around him. It's a constant barrage of "he's given so much to the country" and any criticism is because "people are unthankful". It's absolutely pathetic. He is not Nelson Mandela, he has been rewarded very, very handsomely during his career, he does not need us to hold his hand or to raise him higher. He as been driven by selfishness and ego for too long now. Too much drama. Enough.

Ronaldo should join forces with Piers Morgan, Roy Keane, and Rio Ferdinand for a new venture 'RONALO PREMIERE LEAGUE'; which will be funded by cash raised from Ronaldo fans worldwide. Every match would be a scripted event where Ronaldo would score a hat-trick, and then would get praise from scripted pundits in the studio (Roy Keane, Alex Ferguson, Patrice Evra). With no one criticizing him, questioning him, or his judgement.

France somehow STILL being in the tournament is amazing to me 😂 hopefully Spain will end their run...

Roberto Martinez CAN'T take off Ronaldo. People can say that he should have some spine to do it but let's look at what happened to those who "have spines" - Fernando Santos: Sacked right away and nobody ever gives him credit for winning Euro and Nations League. - Erik ten Hag: Constant harassment and death threats from the media and Ronaldo fans until these days. If I was Martinez, I would be extremely terrified of dropping Ronaldo as well.

Guys i fucking love honestly, what a beautiful podcast soo rich soo funny ❤️👏🏻

Cheers lads

I knew they were done when they took Bruno off. Clueless manager.

Ifor 2026 if he is sub, there are no penalties,freekicks, he can't link up with anyone, no pace, no dribbles, no set pieces. no impact. he is the ghost in the team that will haunt portugal with his egos, drama, tantrums... this cancer should not keep for chemo instead throw with surgery..

Martinez cost Portugal this Euro and the worst part is when he played CR7 full game against Georgia while Portugal was already thru and only to go on lose the game. That was very embarrassing.

Shame on you! Detestable takes on Pepe! If only England could play like Portugal did ! Silly people

Nice one!

Unfortunately, Jorge Mendes and other agents have too much invested in the FA thus their financially driven desires reign supreme: Joao Felix and Cristiano playing over Jota and Ramos.

Nice James May impression

How come we never get any talk about Copa America?

Um GIGANTE dentro de uma casa pequenina e pobre chamada Seleção. O Cristiano Ronaldo carrega sozinho a culpa, agora para reconhecer tudo o que ele de bom tem dado a seleção de Portugal, já não está sozinho. Os Anti-Ronaldo podem responder porque a nível coletivo o Cristiano Ronaldo atingiu o êxito pelos clubes onde passou, só para dar um exemplo, no Real Madrid em 433 jogos marcou 450 golos e venceu 4 Champions League. Foi graças aos 133 golos que deu a Seleção, diante de 86 adversários, que a seleção de Portugal conseguiu o que nunca na história do futebol português alguém imaginou ser possível alcançar. Alguém acha que os golos do Cristiano Ronaldo não farão falta, já que os tais colegas de Seleção que aparecem no êxito e desaparecem no infortúnio, vão marcar entre todos os golos que o Cristiano Ronaldo deu a Seleção para voltar atingir um lugar de prestígio no futebol Europeu e Mundial que NUNCA a Seleção conquistou sem o Cristiano Ronaldo. O fanatismo Anti-Ronaldo é tão cego que não vê a realidade, por isso nunca encontram a verdade. Não tenham dúvidas, o Cristiano Ronaldo é que deve queixar-se do muito que deu a Seleção e o pouco que recebeu. O Cristiano Ronaldo noutra seleção, teria alcançado títulos e o reconhecimento que a mentalidade de um país pobre e pequeno como Portugal não quer reconhecer. O grande problema do Cristiano Ronaldo é ser português. A GIANT inside a tiny, poor house called Seleção. Cristiano Ronaldo bears the blame alone, now to recognize all the good he has given to the Portugal team, he is no longer alone. The Anti-Ronaldo can answer because on a collective level Cristiano Ronaldo achieved success at the clubs he played for, just to give an example, at Real Madrid in 433 games he scored 450 goals and won 4 Champions Leagues. It was thanks to the 133 goals scored by the Seleção, against 86 opponents, that the Portugal team achieved what no one in the history of Portuguese football ever thought possible to achieve. Does anyone think that Cristiano Ronaldo's goals will not be missed, since those teammates who appear in success and disappear in misfortune, will score among all the goals that Cristiano Ronaldo gave the National Team to once again reach a prestigious place in football Euro Cup and World Cup that the Seleção NEVER won without Cristiano Ronaldo. Anti-Ronaldo fanaticism is so blind that it doesn't see reality, so they never find the truth. Have no doubt, Cristiano Ronaldo is the one who should complain about the much he gave to the Seleção and the little he received. Cristiano Ronaldo in another team would have won titles and recognition that the mentality of a poor and small country like Portugal does not want to recognize. Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest problem is being Portuguese.

Every bary Monday night manager

Take off Bruno Fernandes in extra time and put Félix it was a big mistake against France.

Anglo obsession with Ronaldo is quite weird. Never gotten over 2004 and 2006 I guess. Its Ronaldo's fault the cameras focus on him. Its Ronaldo's fault his teammates can't score a single goal in 3 games. Its Ronaldo's fault for everything.

Stupid people talking about stupid takes, losing at PK is Ronaldo and martinez fault? France scored one goal from PK and two own goals why not criticism them, you absolutely don’t watch neither Ramos or Jota, they didn’t play that much with their teams this season. But at the end of the day you will always push the anti-Ronaldo agenda, Ronaldo has a crazy legacy and crazy money so he doesn’t need your recognition ☠️ keep barking

Well even without CR7 Portugal would had lost so who cares.

Ronaldo has to evolve into false 9 or retire. Lewandowski does the same more plays in midfield

Siuuuuuuu............ ... . .....

Cristiano Ronaldo is slowly turning into Gloria Swanson's character in Sunset Blvd. Its really pathetic.

Knockout goals Ronaldo: 3 Zidane: 3 Zidane retired in 2006 😮😮😂😂😂 Ronaldo has won a single trophy in last 4 years for a reason.... all PR he is

“My life’s done now… I’ve been bonked”
