They have an excellent young defender in Antonio Silva. They choose to play Pepe over him but it's not a weakness by any means. Felix is a good option up front, with Leao, Bruno, Bernardo Silva, Rafa Silva (who doesn't seem to be in the squad, not sure if that's due to injury or other reasons) and Jota (injured) all good options to support him in attacking positions. Ronaldo and Andre Silva are good options to have in reserve for the striking positions too.
Can't compare all of that to France tbh. Look at all the players who didn't make the French squad. Look no further than the current Ballon d'Or. Having a great squad doesn't guarantee anything but no way can you say with any logic that the 2 countries have squads of the same level.

Bentancur might be subbed before the end of the first half, what a stupid behaviour.

The commentators need to stop wanking themselves silly every time Ronaldo touches the ball.

For a supposedly great player Ronaldo is absolutely Shite at free kicks. Sure he’s had an odd one here and there but the majority of them end up in the stands

Always funny to see Cavani sending superb passes with Uruguay when he sometimes misses the simplest things with his clubs.
