100%. Should be obvious to all. Didn't watch the whole game so can't really say if they were hard done by or not. But this type of scenario leaves a lot of room for doubt which would be so easy to avoid.
Bruno Fernandes: "I don't know if they are going to give the cup to Argentina...they have clearly titled the field against us"
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
So was Maguire.
Sometimes I ask myself why he's one of the most disliked players in the league and if it's not blown out of proportions. Everytime he never fails to make me remember why.
Cnut.
Cnut.
Just key members of the CR37 cult drinking copium. You would have thought they were playing Argentina with their comments
Bizarre comment from a player who didn't need to make excuses like that, should have just allowed Cristiano to fall on his own sword.
I agree. I'm totally neutral on this world cup as my country not in it and the refereeing is brutal at times.
Personally thought even last night it was way inconsistent. Can see where Portugal players would feel annoyed, same for Netherlands.......just not consistent at all with what they let go and don't let go.
Is Amrabat any good for you lot? Genuinely curious as he looks great in this WC
Bruno rolls around on the ground after the smallest of touches and complains without ceasing for 90 minutes when he plays for us.
If he played for another team we would despise him.

I wish he played for someone else so the majority on this forum could see how unlikeable this guy is. Constantly diving and saying stupid shite like this.
My opinion is he outdone his normal level in this world cup. May be a “xavi euro08” moment for him, at least thats what I hope
Thanks. will be interesting to see if he brings this level back with him to Serie A. He could be a target for a few clubs in the PL
Glad I'm not the only one who sees this. FIFA got lucky that the ref was great today, but things like that shouldn't happen at this level.
Unbelievable comments from Bruno really. Not great to read.
He's wrong. Maybe if his long switches were more accurate, his crosses were better, and his pass to Bernardo from the free kick was quality, then Portugal might have won.
Must say, he is max level obnoxious prick and in so many areas as a bonus, its like a achievement.
I would prefer if he talks shit about Ronaldo instead.
clearly trying to downgrade any achievement Argentina or Messi can make.
Should've tried playing better football, or at least shooting towards the goal, Bruno. Feck you.

This is so weird
Argentina Portgual have played each other a grand total of 8 times in their history and not one single competitive game. You can tell how obsessed Ronaldo and those around him are with Messi

The most frustrating thing with Bruno, is that when he relaxes and cuts out the frantic shit he is ten times the player.
There are some footballers who need to play on the edge to get the best out of them. They need that fire and bitterness within to really shine. Keane was definitely one and I suspect Martinez is another.
With Bruno, it feels like he thinks he needs to be that player, and he works himself up into a frenzy, but it only makes him worse. The games where he looks calmer and focused, he doesn’t dive, he’s not screaming at opponents, teammates or the ref and he’s just so much more effective as a footballer.
The talent is there, but it’s like he needs a mental coach to help him chill the feck out and just focus on what he’s good at.
It’s for exactly that reason I don’t think we’re doing him any favours naming him as captain. We’d be better off giving that to Casemiro and letting him focus on just playing his own game for a while.

Oh ffs Bruno 
Wonder if he really thinks he should have gotten a pen for his awful dive. Absolutely deluded.
Lets be real, he's a massively dislikeable player. Absolute fecking whingebag and a diver but we tolerate it because he plays for us.
Players should keep their mouth shut right after such an emotional game. They should know better.
Let's not forget this is a player that bragged about scoring a penalty in a 1-6 defeat, he is one of the most shameless players I've ever seen.
He had a decent worldcup, probably Portugal's best player but he needs to start winning trophies now. It seems he doesn't walk the talk. Statements like these make him a sore loser.
What he's saying is so childish it's actually pretty amusing. Like a kid on the playground.
That's Bruno though. He's always been petulant on the pitch, I don't think he's about to change anytime soon! This is not a youngster we're talking about.

Yep.
What a muppet comment....seriously he has improved a bit under TH but would give a shit if he left. He's crap more times than not.
The focus thing. At the anthems the England team were all staring hard into nothing getting themselves hyped and focused. Mbape was just smiling and calm, not a care in the world.
Different strokes for different folks and Bruno doesn't do well with the super intensity.
He is talking out it his arse. If that was a rule to be followed then Indian referees should have officiated all the group stage matches.
It is highly disparaging to question someone’s integrity without any proof or evidence.
Portugal played badly but I agree they should have picked a different ref. They have no shortage for it.
If we didn't have Lisandro Martinez I wouldn't give two shits about these comments. Now they leave a bitter taste. What worries me more are Bruno's performances when it really matters though. Did he ever have a good performance in a really big game for us or Portugal?
He spent the next 5 mins harassing the referee about it. Next level of delusion.
He/they thought so hence protesting to the referee at half time.
Very hard to sympathise with a team when they were not good enough to score a goal in 100 minutes of football. If Portugal were good enough to take the game to extra time, they would have had 30 minutes against 10 men after the supposedly biased ref sent a Maroccan off late in the match.
If the ref was from England or France he might have a case.
What a strange comment by Bruno. What happened to the trite apologies that he used to trot out when United were getting embarrassed by Watford and Brentford?
Not sure if a cultural thing, but I got an impression that many Portuguese and Latin American players are sore bitter losers, even though they got great passion on the pitch.
