No shit and score perhaps which he didn't. Portugal got lucky and they know it. They got an easy group and should have won this game by a big margin. Let's blame it on the weather. A win is a win, I guess.
2024 Euro
- Thread starter Phil C. McNasty
- Start date
Dominated? No... they had possession of the ball. But just like England, always looking for the perfect pass or goal. Czechia countered and scored with only a few chances all game. That does not bode well for Portugal when they go up against a strong attacking team. By comparison, the Turkiye / Georgia game was entertaining as hell!
He grew up. Up to a few years ago CR7 would go into panic mode and yell and scream at all his teammates that they were shit. Why do you think he changed clubs so often? Not many players liked CR7.
I have watched him so often in the past 20 years. How he reacted after the first goal was all new to me.
I've watch CR7 for quite some time as well, he was always a dick teammate especially when he is not the hero.
True. But at the same time, he was so talented. I mean he scored so many goals.
And the guy drinks only water. Eats healthier than any human being on earth. Trains like a madman. Bring his mother everywhere.
Yes he developed an oversized ego which was not always pleasant. He does not have the humility of Messi at all.
Yet yesterday after that goal scored we saw a changed CR7 because I think he was, for once, just happy to be on the field instead of the bench, at 40 year old!
There comes a time when you realize and have to accept, it's not your time anymore. Dude had a great career one of the best ballers in the world but there is always one thing you can not beat, "AGE".
I have to agree, CR7 had several dust-ups in the Juventus dressing room. He doesn't have the empathy of The Great Zlatanissimo.
He is the goat of all time for players who trained and trained and trained. Hats off to him.
The most naturally gifted player of all time will remain to this day... Messi.
They had the ball most of the time, so in a way they dominated, but they weren't able to take advantage of their possession.
I agree, they're a older team but managed to come back. That Albania Croatia game was very good and the Albanians didn't quit either.
He's great, like him or not he's one of the top. He's just not so humble like Messi.

Ibra was on Milan's bunch until the end, are the going to take him as manager? I doubt it. Paolo Maldini wasn't on the bench as much as Ibra.
Baggio was just as talented as Messi, the only difference - Messi kept his health. Baggio and Del Pierro are tied with 27 goals for the Azzurri. Del Pierro did it with 90 Caps, Baggio with 59. And he's never used the hamstring injury he picked up against Bulgaria as an excuse for missing his overtime free kick against Brazil in 94 WC Final.e never played another football match since his hip replacement surgery in 2004
Baggio and Sacchi had a falling out, i'll Divino Codico was not selected for the 1996 Euro. The Azzurri were eliminated in the preliminary round, they weren't the Azzurri, they were La Squadra di Sacchi. This is when Ibra became The Great Zlatanissimo.
