I’m Portuguese and he’s still effective against the bottom feeders of the world. His last two World Cup appearances were quite underwhelming and we’re still trying this shit in 2023.
Over here he’s treated like a deity, and his goal tally is more important than the National team’s effectiveness.
Portugal has never won the WC and the football culture and talent are as alive as ever.
Croatia keeps making deep runs even with only OK squads on paper.
Morocco has a great core and play as a team.
I could see an underdog winning the WC just as easily as the Euro.
Porto fan. You’re absolutely right.
Cristiano got his goals but the facts are that Juventus was better before he arrived and got eliminated by inferior opposition repeatedly.
Correlation doesn’t equal causality, but we’re stating facts.
I’m sure it would have gone differently in the social media era. Fans are even more unhinged
