Very disrespectful of McCoist to say that Ronaldo contributes nothing to the team play for 99% of the match. :nono:

Funny how previous Portugal teams biggest problem was always the lack of a competent striker to play with Ronaldo.

Now he’s the incompetent striker.

You can tell he hasn't watched a United game in 2 years.

Just like 90% of football fans they switch on expecting to see a 25 year old Ronaldo and get surprised when he's taking heavy touches or missing sitters.

He seems genuinely confused

Who likes this type of football? No sense of urgency, no directness, no shots at goal. Depressing. Miss the Portugal NT of the 90's early 2000.

Remember it wasn't so long ago Portugal needed Ronaldo and he kept bailing them out and if only they had a competent supporting cast to support him that could win them the World Cup. Now that they have actually a good team, it's Ronaldo that is holding them back from winning the World Cup. Football is a funny game.

Felix :lol:

What a stupid useless player. Everyone laughing at Liverpool for paying 100m euros for Darwin when Atletico Madrid played 120m euros for this muppet

Who do they play up front instead?

Like us, Portugal would be playing better football without Ronaldo you feel.

I think Felix is good. However I did expect that Milan starplayer Leao would play. Was curious to see him play.

I get Ayew is captain... but really?? He's so bad. Get the ball in the feet of Kudus and Williams, get lamptey out there. Always funny when international managers start vastly inferior players because they are their favourites
