Lol at three letters abbreviation from each team

Pretty worried about our attack. Ronaldo is geriatric and Ramos is useless. My beloved Jota :(

41-year-old Ronaldo and Ramos, who apparently only has the energy for 5–10 minutes where he mostly stands around in a crowd and barely gets a touch of the ball.

Portugal are definitely the favorites.

It’s obvious that Roberto Martinez didn’t play his main Portugal team in either game against Chile and Nigeria.

I hope that was his intention, we never played with our starting defense in those two games and I think we our proper defense with Cancelo, Nuno Mendes and Ruben Dias with either Araujo or Viegas we should be alright.

The players that caught my eye negatively were Inacio and C. Ronaldo. I’m going to include Leao too because he got himself sent off stupidly.

Inacio must be the emergency CB back for this Portugal side because he is really nowhere his best and is the obvious weak link mentality and physically in the defense.

I just hope if C. Ronaldo performs badly in the World Cup games that Roberto Martinez does what needs to be done.

Ofc it would have been great if we saw the proper starting Portugal side at least in this game in the first half but I hope Roberto Martinez has seen what he needed to see.

Let’s hope his bald fraud gets it right against D.R. Congo.

Chico has been good today even apart from the banger goal. The starting line-up is not as clear as one may think.

Gg to all the Nigerian fans here

“Ramos should start over Ronaldo”
Meanwhile Ramos:

Conceição fuço do crl

The defense with this horror game from Inacio should kinda be set, no idea how we are going to set up out wide

Haven’t watched the second half, has Ramos been better than Ronaldo as the haters claim?

Ronaldo had an off game regarding finishing but my god his replacement Ramos is absolutely Atrocious. atleast Ronaldo was stringing proper fast passes while building up and pulling defenders, Ramos just offers nothing.

Unc needs to lock tf in. Ramos is a fkin passenger. Portugal really needs to invest in a decent striker.

I’m pretty positive about Nunes and Samu Costa from what I’ve seen. Maybe we’ll play them against tougher opponents to defend better?

This ref must’ve wasted 10minutes of time just this half with the softest foul calls

Gonçalo Ramos just came in and he’s the most tired player in the squad already 😭

how’d unc do? subbed off at 64’, 4 shots no assists

We need some better kits ngl. Can someone more knowledgeable than me, tell me why fan-made concept kits always look so much better than the official ones? Is it a logistical thing (i.e., expensive) or are there only set designs allowed? Doesn’t explain why Germany/ France/ Spain always have such beautiful kits.

My portuguese defense pleaseeeee lock in.

Nigeria gifting the ball every 15 seconds

Okay, Nigeria needs to allow Ramos some more touches. It’s his turn.

Ramos only touch till now? Dude needs to drop a bit.

Crazy dive

Bums me out when Portugal have one color kits. They have one of the most unique and beautiful color combos of everyone.

The win here is not a win against Nigeria but to go without injuries and I think nuno mendes pulled a muscle there

Lmao this was a foul but the one on Felix wasn’t?

How’s that not a penalty on Felix 

I’m a samu costa believer.

Samu Costa is lowkey brilliant

should have been a pen tbh

Felix has been revitalised.

Okay Nigeria is putting in some desperate tackles now.

Pen?

That’s a foul on Felix

Omg, I hope to god Ruben Neves is okay.

Bassey is a beast, could Marco bring him with him?

Is Mendes ok? Can’t watch now

I don’t think Ramos has even touched the ball yet. Maybe Nigeria is sitting back more now?

Uff

Oh no, Nuno Mendes looks injured

Just got to know the VAR is working and somehow cancelled the goal from felix

Was that Ramos first touch ?

What happened to nwabali tho.. 

Once again Homelander sits and these guys instantly score lmao

That was a bit cynical by Conceaio to be fair

Please remove Zaidu Sanusi from this national team. It has been years of this.

Conceição by far our best direct winger these two games (Leao was not bad but that red and situation hurts him plus the pressing)

Conceicao doesn’t need to get in the final third hahaha. Chicoooo.

him and Trincao should be the starters

The world cup ball seems off, nuno Mendes is having too much swing in that

People don’t understand how good Ronaldo would be for this team almost as an attacking mid. He passes extremely well. He just doesn’t have the speed anymore as a true forward. 

His father taught him

Portugal has defense issues but nobody wants to talk about that 

Banger

holy what a strike

Just imagine a Euro 2012 or Euro 2016 ronaldo with this team….fuck man

The game is calmer in terms of defense now. Both teams seemingly can’t get the ball into the final third now.

Look it’s a friendly
But we can judge Ronaldo performance it wasn’t good in finishing Good link up and hold up play but unc needs to seriously score in the next games or else the narrative will start to be reality

Smooth

People forget that if he retires from the NT after the WC, this will be the last time he’ll play for the NT in Portugal if im not mistaken. Boohoo if he played an extra 15-20m in a friendly game.

Love the team man. Sadly ronaldo I think might actually hold this team back. One of the best but he is finished I would say

Obviously Ronaldo should have scored twice but other than that he has looked fine.

Ronaldo is playing as expected from 41 year old guy….he just needs to come from the bench and stop starting……..

They should just treat Ronaldo like an impact sub to impact the game with a sub, wonder why no one’s thought of that before

Cancelo trivela reminds me of quaresma

If only this was Andorra then you’d see just how good my camel can be

One would think portugal will now score 4 goals atleast, based on the concern troll comments.

Ronaldo is so washed. He needs to retire. This quest for 1000 goals at the expense of team success is pathetic.

Now that Ronaldo is off we can comfortably win this game.

Hes done once he gets 1k. Never seen that look on his face, its like he finally knows it

And he’s subbed off. Oh well. I still stand by what I said earlier - that he needs to be the impact sub in this stage of his career and not someone who’s gonna be a starter/90mins of intense footy guy

Does Martinez see Nunes as the third choice RB? Madness if so

I’m curious, what kind of debates are held in Portugal about Ronaldo for this WC? Is the majority happy for him to start or are there calls for Ramos or Felix?

Rotated team starts and all are subbed off for rest at half time, except one…

We used to call kids like Ronaldo cheeky little cherry pickers

The defence has become better.

our 2nd ST will have as many minutes in this match as M.Nunes who will replace someone who got subbed in at HT
