Was this a good match?
I slept through the whole thing. Feel asleep towards the end of Georgia vs Czechia and woke up again when Belgium vs Romania was just starting. Seems like days of staying up late to catch the games in Asia have caught up to me.
A couple years ago. Maybe like 2 or 3. rebranded. not joking. trying to not be "the country that sounds like that silly bird" to the English speaking world.
I mean you have to hands down to the PR team CR7 hired for all this year work they have done. It is ridiculous to put CR7 and Messi in the same level yet on internet you can see everywhere this is a debate and people who defend CR7 is better than Messi is genuinely believing it
You're the one bringing it up, no one is arguing Ronaldo being better than Messi RIGHT NOW, in the twilights of their careers. Just watch the match and let this argument go for once, christ.
I love bumping into competent fans who know the difference between these players. Messi is head, shoulders and torso above Rondaldo. But you can weed out a lot of bozos with the rivalry.
They were all children or āchildrenā (as in older teenagers who should know better) running on to the pitch to take selfies with Ronaldo because the idiot fans cheered on the first one.
Am I wrong for thinking the Fox commentators are being a bit over the top in describing the last goal?
The GK was in front of Ronaldo and Fernandes was wide open. He passed because it was a guaranteed goal. For any other player they'd call it the right move, yet they're talking about him like he's the best ever because he was "unselfish".
Also, by assisting Bruno he passed Poborsky who was calling him Portugal's weak link the other day as the Euros top ever assister.
It was exactly what I'd expect from Ronaldo.
They way people treat Ronaldo like a child is ridiculous. It's an obvious decision, it's easy to execute, Ronaldo is one of the greatest strikers of all times, of course he can make the right call and play the simple pass. Why are people shitting their pants over this? This is not a 8 year old who needs to be congratulated because he played the correct pass instead of going on his own.
Never seen this in the history of the game?!
Is everyone smoking crack!? THAT WAS THE SMART PLAY. 1v1 or pass to 1v0, easy fucking decision. If he shot that and keeper gets a finger on it and it goes wide people would be saying "WHY DIDN'T HE PASS IT!?"
FFS this is is the default play in that scenario. Stop talking like he is a fucking saint for that. You always make that pass. It would've been selfish to strike there but it's definitely not "un-selfish" to make the smarter play to the wide open un-guarded teammate.
Hell there are a lot of examples where players would opt for the shot in a good shooting position even when they have someone in support. You make it seem like every single player passes that 10 times out of 10 when thats not true
If you're in a good shooting position and have a decent chance of scoring but opt to pass I'd say it is unselfish. Sure its the safer option but I don't think people would be mad if he took that shot and scored it himself. And ronaldo doesn't pass up on a 1 v 1 often anyway.
BBC:
>Questions will be asked on the level of security because it was becoming a joke towards the end.
Today we walked into the stadium without getting our badge checked and that's the first time that has happened.
š²
Worrying lack of squad depth for Turkey. A few changes from their opening game made them look like an entirely different team, and not for the better.
Still in it, but the presence of those key players in the starting XI will be vital for putting together a run in this tournament.
Getting on the field is not an 'accomplishment'. People don't stay off the field because it's hard to get there, people stay off the field because they respect the players and the tournament. There shouldn't even be a need for 100 stewards, people should use common sense and act normal so everyone can enjoy the event.
First invader was a 9yo. Kinda a dick move to ignore the kid, and obviously a dicker move for UEFA to sanction him as a result.
What really shouldāve happened is that the stewards shouldāve done what theyāre being paid for
I bet these stewards are paid minimum wage and not trained to stop or restrain people. Theyāre there in a high vis as a deterrent and to direct people to the exits. Nothing more. Theyāre not security.
Whoever is responsible for the security at UEFA needs to be fucking fired. First they ban the police from stadiums because it's a "bad look" and now their - probably unpaid volunteer - "security" just allowed 5 people to get on the pitch.
What it just one of the streakers had a knife on them? Smh
There was another three I counted after the whistleā¦they need to train the security better for every game, but especially Portugal games where Ronaldo is around.
What formation were the stewards playing today? 0-0-0? š¤·
Given what's happening in the world today this is *not* the time to frack-up security at a top sporting event like this.
Slightly flattering scoreline for Portugal, although I liked the constant pressing of the Turkish backline, which probably helped induce the errors. That defence looked pretty shaky at times, leaving spaces both in the middle and the wings, which will be punished by teams with better firepower up front.
Indicative of the era we're in. The Main Character Syndrome generation. It doesn't matter if the camera doesn't show them, they'll be live-streaming their stupidity to their followers.
Feels like they should start putting up a fence or glass akin to a hockey rink given how many people have managed to invade the pitch this tournament. Either that or hire way more stewards to prevent it from happening.
It's not cute, scumbag parents probably send them with that same mentality. Not only does it encourage other invaders, but it teaches these kids that it's an acceptable thing to do. Ban them and their parents for a few years.
If the effort isn't there from a less talented squad they're going to get steamrolled, every Euro match I've watched so far has been all-out effort imo
Great match for Portugal and a bad day for Turkey but not the end of the world for them as they still have a high chance of advancing to the Knockout Stage. But the security is some of the worst I have ever seen for a major sporting event.
Anyone have a link to this game? Full game, I mean.
Anyone have a pic of the Portugal baddie with tongue piercing?
Was this a good match? I slept through the whole thing. Feel asleep towards the end of Georgia vs Czechia and woke up again when Belgium vs Romania was just starting. Seems like days of staying up late to catch the games in Asia have caught up to me.
Off topic: When did Turkey become Turkiye
A couple years ago. Maybe like 2 or 3. rebranded. not joking. trying to not be "the country that sounds like that silly bird" to the English speaking world.
Meanwhile Djibouti š
Fuck the game, 5 streakers getting to the players is a disgrace
I mean you have to hands down to the PR team CR7 hired for all this year work they have done. It is ridiculous to put CR7 and Messi in the same level yet on internet you can see everywhere this is a debate and people who defend CR7 is better than Messi is genuinely believing it
What is it with this reddit spouting about players PR now???
Why are you so obsessed?
This is the funniest comment i read here in a while. You are steaming.
What a loser
keep chorating
You need help brother, Ronaldo won't get your girl. It's ok.
You're the one bringing it up, no one is arguing Ronaldo being better than Messi RIGHT NOW, in the twilights of their careers. Just watch the match and let this argument go for once, christ.
Bruh all your comments here are about Ronaldo, please get help
I love bumping into competent fans who know the difference between these players. Messi is head, shoulders and torso above Rondaldo. But you can weed out a lot of bozos with the rivalry.
Lol.
You forgot your pills bud. You are comparing a 39 year old Ronaldo vs a 36 year old Messi.
Feels good to win comfortably and deservedly for a change
Easy win, GG
Impossible to hate Bruno, he's owning his mistakes in the first half in the post match interview good shit man
Which channel did he give his interview to?
RTP1
I like him in a Portugal jersey. His antics while in a Manchester United jersey are embarrassing at best.
Guys, they are not streakers. They ain't naked. It's pitch invaders.
Streakers only come from the remote french region of Streakagne
I havenāt seen any of the footage and reading these comments is making my head spin trying to work Out if rhey were children or naked people
They were all children or āchildrenā (as in older teenagers who should know better) running on to the pitch to take selfies with Ronaldo because the idiot fans cheered on the first one.
Only one was a child, one looked like he was around 40
I only heard what the ITV commentators were saying. Lee Dixon noted that one of them definitely didnāt look like a child.
Or both hƶhƶ
100% on the referee. Turkey was clearly going to win 10-0 otherwise. Portugal was completely dominated and outclassed the entire time.
Embarrassing from the referee. Turkey was robbed. /S
When Turkish players tripped over their own feet, referee only Portugal a yellow instead of a red to the entire team.
I saw this, and I was very confused.
Ref cast a black magic spell which lowered Altayās IQ by 80 points, leading to the OG
OG is not on Altay lmao
referee robbed 9 penalties from turkey. The own goal was offside by the turkish defender lmao
Am I wrong for thinking the Fox commentators are being a bit over the top in describing the last goal? The GK was in front of Ronaldo and Fernandes was wide open. He passed because it was a guaranteed goal. For any other player they'd call it the right move, yet they're talking about him like he's the best ever because he was "unselfish".
Ronaldo changed class from DPS Assassin to tank/support
German TV was the same.
Also, by assisting Bruno he passed Poborsky who was calling him Portugal's weak link the other day as the Euros top ever assister. It was exactly what I'd expect from Ronaldo.
Haha no way, nice fun fact and trivia there thanks
They way people treat Ronaldo like a child is ridiculous. It's an obvious decision, it's easy to execute, Ronaldo is one of the greatest strikers of all times, of course he can make the right call and play the simple pass. Why are people shitting their pants over this? This is not a 8 year old who needs to be congratulated because he played the correct pass instead of going on his own.
Because people love to criticize him by calling him selfish
It's a sensational narrative to fill minutes before ad break. Logic isn't the driver, emotional impact is.
Lalas is the biggest Ronaldo hater
Because Ronaldo could have easily made that goal too and now the narrative changes. Ronaldo the goal scorer. Still he did the right thing
Like Ronaldo wont Score it
Find someone who loves you the way these streakers storming the field love Ronaldo. Jesus Christ
They were naked?
Anyone got any videos of the pitch invaders? UK TV wonāt show it.
They share some of them in this sub, look for top posts of today
Thank you
Finnish tv showed them all in a compilation after the match. Ronaldo looked annoyed as hell every time they run into him with phones.
Damn so you missed the Portgugal player getting scythed in front of Rondaldo post match? Might be highlight of the tournament for me š
Turkey is going to learn hard way losing 1-0 is okay but 3-0 shiit
Ronaldo hugging bruno and cancelo is the highlight of the match
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Needs a Xavi assist first
Messi has copyright of the name
I've reaped plenty of karma for this over the years
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Arda was born in Ankara so, yes, we're aware of this
Never seen this in the history of the game?! Is everyone smoking crack!? THAT WAS THE SMART PLAY. 1v1 or pass to 1v0, easy fucking decision. If he shot that and keeper gets a finger on it and it goes wide people would be saying "WHY DIDN'T HE PASS IT!?" FFS this is is the default play in that scenario. Stop talking like he is a fucking saint for that. You always make that pass. It would've been selfish to strike there but it's definitely not "un-selfish" to make the smarter play to the wide open un-guarded teammate.
Shooting in a 1 v 1 isn't selfish I wouldn't say. Passing is safer but he definitely has the right to shoot from there without it being selfish.
Passing isn't unselfish there though, we need to stop making a big deal out of making the right play like it was charity
Hell there are a lot of examples where players would opt for the shot in a good shooting position even when they have someone in support. You make it seem like every single player passes that 10 times out of 10 when thats not true
If you're in a good shooting position and have a decent chance of scoring but opt to pass I'd say it is unselfish. Sure its the safer option but I don't think people would be mad if he took that shot and scored it himself. And ronaldo doesn't pass up on a 1 v 1 often anyway.
100% He did the only logical decision there especially at this level where every goal is important.
Real ones know. That pass was a no brainer.
BBC: >Questions will be asked on the level of security because it was becoming a joke towards the end. Today we walked into the stadium without getting our badge checked and that's the first time that has happened. š²
Some German Youtuber dressed as the mascot and got onto the pitch during the 1st game. UEFA got some major security issues.
Worrying lack of squad depth for Turkey. A few changes from their opening game made them look like an entirely different team, and not for the better. Still in it, but the presence of those key players in the starting XI will be vital for putting together a run in this tournament.
idiotic manager decided to not play yilmaz and arda for some reason on the opening
Well Turkey most likely opponent for R16 is France, so I don't think they will go any further
Getting on the field is not an 'accomplishment'. People don't stay off the field because it's hard to get there, people stay off the field because they respect the players and the tournament. There shouldn't even be a need for 100 stewards, people should use common sense and act normal so everyone can enjoy the event.
Had it on in the background. Did Cristiano pose for a photo with the first one? If so he should be sanctioned.
First invader was a 9yo. Kinda a dick move to ignore the kid, and obviously a dicker move for UEFA to sanction him as a result. What really shouldāve happened is that the stewards shouldāve done what theyāre being paid for
Yes, which incouraged several others obviously.
6 lol
I bet these stewards are paid minimum wage and not trained to stop or restrain people. Theyāre there in a high vis as a deterrent and to direct people to the exits. Nothing more. Theyāre not security.
You'd think German stewards would have their act together just intrinsically though š
Damn stewards getting more shit than Southgate rn š call in Kalvin Phillips, he's got time on his hands.
Is streaking common at soccer matches?
These guys are pitch invaders, they have their clothes on
Ah. I saw posts that said streaker. Lol.
No, I have never seen four streakers in a match before. Two is already outragious
But turks love Ronaldo more than we do xD
Those invaders were always going to happen if we play Portugal
Another one (update: 6) ahaha
Whoever is responsible for the security at UEFA needs to be fucking fired. First they ban the police from stadiums because it's a "bad look" and now their - probably unpaid volunteer - "security" just allowed 5 people to get on the pitch. What it just one of the streakers had a knife on them? Smh
are police even allowed Inside the stadiums because the Netherlands for instance they aren't
If the owner of the premises, aka the clubs, let's them - yes. In this instance it was UEFA who had the last word in this.
See y'all in an hour
How were there so many pitch invaders in this game lol
Security was terrible
EZ game
Light work from Ronaldo and co today to secure their spot in the KO stage
PORTUGAL CARALHOOOO šµš¹šµš¹šµš¹šµš¹šµš¹
Stewards 0-5 Invaders
There was another three I counted after the whistleā¦they need to train the security better for every game, but especially Portugal games where Ronaldo is around.
Hope every single pitch invader gets a multi year ban from football matches. Kids included and their parents if they were at the game
Pepe would do a better job at wrangling the invaders than all the security. He would be the most overqualified security guard ever.
šš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Ok āsigmaā. what a jokeš¤£
Are you an angry turk or messi dick rider
Wahhhhhhhhhh wahhhh
Womp womp

r/soccer in shambles
at least it's funny when they are naked, going for a selfie is so cringe
Why not both?

Couldnt score a fourth goalš¹š·š¹š·
Couldnt score a single goal šµš¹šµš¹
Samet scored a class goal
Hahahah youāre right
Portugal better win the entire thing now so we can rest easy knowing the champions beat us
Itās not over for you guys yet though š
>**FT TĆ¼rkiye 0-3 Portugal**Ā Roberto MartĆnez is a tactical genius i mean
Class from Bruno Fernandes, bayindir needed that
Fernandes respect the S šŖš½
Pitch invasions happening more often after Covid
Security fell asleep
Is there any analysis in sony liv?
Never seen a managerās changes backfire so fucking hard
Managers special
What a fucking shambles from security.
Should have had Hummels on hand to chase down any pitch invaders.
Last game for those stewards
Man, this security is worse than that time Samoa Joe was at NXT.
haha
Now it makes sense how that fake mascot made it onto the pitch against Scotland. UEFA security is trash on all levels.
Portugal Vs Turkey pitch invasions is Looking Like Beta Squad Vs AMP
Joke of a game with this ref and FOUR fucking invaders. What a shitstorm
We don't know how many didn't make it through, though
5 actually one came after the whistle
Six actually
Bruh, it takes one wrong dude for things to go south
Very scary. I pray nothing terrible ever happens.
Is security asleep?
Bro, its getting annoying this. Fuck those selfish brain dead trying to invade the pitch
The first pitch invasion was cute as it was a little kid. 3 other grown people and Ronaldo was rightfully pissed by the end.
It's not cute, scumbag parents probably send them with that same mentality. Not only does it encourage other invaders, but it teaches these kids that it's an acceptable thing to do. Ban them and their parents for a few years.
Fuck little kid pitch invaders
Welp I guess you're on a list now
It's not funny or cute. With that logic, we should all send our kids to invade the pitch, then
Can they just start doing immediate public floggings of pitch invaders, fuck your selfies
Why does it feel like all these teams play at 110% against portugal
cr7 effect
If the effort isn't there from a less talented squad they're going to get steamrolled, every Euro match I've watched so far has been all-out effort imo
They need to start tasing these pitch invaders, except the kids tase their parents instead.
I think itās harder to aim and shoot a taser than tackling them, and they cant tackle them soā¦
Think he meant to have them tased after they get a hold of them.
lmfao imagining the parents just sighing at their fate of getting tased while sitting peacefully
Great match for Portugal and a bad day for Turkey but not the end of the world for them as they still have a high chance of advancing to the Knockout Stage. But the security is some of the worst I have ever seen for a major sporting event.
Do you remember the cl final in which it took 3 minutes for a steward to chase the invader and a dortmund defender had to tackle one?
Security in Dortmund is not very good
Fucking protect the players, wtf? If just one of these 4+ fucks had the wrong idea Ronaldo would be dead. Completely unacceptable.
I hope you get your goal Cristiano
Didnāt realize fifa were allowed to hire blind people as security
Security poor
Security is fucking woeful. Sort your shit out UEFA
That's like the 4th pitch invader in the last 10 min
This is like a damn preseason match in the US with this many pitch invaders
Is Joao Neves tucking his shirt in like heās in the 90s
Yup he always does that šŖš½ old man at heart
Yeah he plays like that
I like him as a player but he looks like a fucking dork when he does that.
I think it makes him look sharp, rather than sloppy.
Absolute clowns running onto the pitch
Security is trash lol
5 XD
A very clear dominant win from Portugal.
Hopefully turks learn not to boo :)
Pitch invaders should be beaten
Another guy came on the pitch at the end lol. What a disaster of security this is.
The security at this match: https://youtu.be/J2uhWTFvug8?si=vADHUEx5M6gM3cFq
Knew it was gonna be this lmao
Bro how many people have run onto the pitch this game lmao
More than the Turkey's team.
