You fake expert sucks
This is corny, never seen people wait until a legend is 37 to start bashing on them..
And that’s why they lost in the quarter final cause Ronaldo and Cancelo was on the bench, this game against Morocco was a very important game, they really should of started Ronaldo and Cancelo have a higher chance to win but look what happened, terrible decision…
Succesful person always have so many haters,surrounded by insecure people including that stupid coach fernando santos.Ronaldo will always be a legend
Yeah this boss just cost them a 1 – 0 loss to Morocco 🇲🇦
Fkn vultures,have some respect for the man
Any CR7 fan boys around
Anti ronaldo
Craig wishes he achieved what Cristiano has achieve. We know you're jealous. 🤪
Haters
ohhh men! they are re fueling the beast, he's going on full destroy mode now and no one is ready for it!
0:29 cap 🧢
These guys have been waiting for such a long time for this moment. How pathetic to find a joy in another person’s decline or struggle. Especially from an icon like Ronaldo!
Messi in two years. He will say he looks good on the bench. Absolute hater.
Even a Schhol boy has more knowledge then these Chair warmers.
This is the first game where Fernando santos started with 1 DM and an agressive Midfield .
If you are Switzerland n watching previous game tapes they were caught by surprise .
Get some knowledge !!!
Agenda here is to be Anti Cristiano
Why they always talk about him ? Don’t they have another agenda ?
What does it matter if Ronaldo was on the bench or not. The win is more important and knowing that in knockouts having someone like Ronaldo coming from the bench with the possibility of extra time Ronaldo would be perfect especially when it’s all about mentality in extra time.
funny thing even with him on the bench pessi won't come close to his records. Pessi with need 3 more Ucl campaigns to surpass ronaldo on that stage.
800 goals and counting
Why is Craig pleased about Ronaldo being benched. What is it to him? Does it matter?
So are players supposed to be celebrating when they get subbed off now?
It's Switzerland not Brazil. It was tactical. These guys are blowing it out of proportion. Thank God these guys don't manage teams. There is some paid agenda and mechanism in the works. All this attention on one topic explains it.
Coming from a guy that didn’t achieve a quarter of what Ronaldo achieved in his career…shame and unprofessional from this pundit 🤦🏾♂️
Cr7 the legend disrespect 😭
Anyone who has followed Cristiano Ronaldo’s career since 2004 would be so so happy with this Portugal side.
Remember those dark days of 2008 Euro and 2010 World Cup? Remember 2012 Euro where Ronaldo literally dragged a dead side all the way to the semi-finals? Remember 2014 when Ronaldo had to start every game despite being seriously injured? Remember 2016 Euro where the man had to limp back on field in the final despite suffering a career reshaping knee injury simply because there weren’t many suitable replacements? Remember that fairytale hat-trick against Spain in 2018?
For ages, one man has carried the burden of an entire nation’s footballing dreams. This man has nothing left to prove to anyone. Watching a balanced Portugal team with good squad depth is bound to make a true Ronaldo fan happy. By “true Ronaldo fan”, I mean those people who stayed up late nights to watch a hapless Portugal side being saved by the sheer brilliance of one individual, day in day out; game after game, tournament after tournament. At 38, Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t need to start every game. He will come on the pitch on minute 60 and every time he does, the crowd will erupt.
Dear social media kids who started watching the game in 2020, listen to that noise, that thunderous applause as the great man comes on. That’s his legacy — untouched, unrivalled, undiminished. 🐐🇵🇹
Anybody wld hv scored in that game
The Swiss were gawd awful
Anybody even CR7 scored an offside game
They should have scored alot more
Maybe while prtogual played good to pass a message that we are better without this old and expired spired guy
Ronaldo should just leave the squad as he will get blamed if he starts the next game and they lose and if he doesn’t start and they win they will say they are better without him, it will ruin his legacy
Stop talking about him, he is old and expired and useless. Focus on the new stuff and other good news
Sometimes the starts need to be taught a lesson.
pepe 39 and no one talk about him
This show is now horrible and a total disgrace
Switzerland got the tactics wrong and found themselves with 5 in defense and mid-field getting run rings around. Shame. On the other hand, Portugal got it perfectly right. Specially with replacing Ronaldo. I feel sorry for him ending his career like this. He should have hung up his boots two seasons ago.
