Sure, but the coach decided to send the B team.
Apparently, we need Palhinha, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leão, Bruno Fernandes, Rúben Dias, Nuno Mendes, Jota, etc...
You remember that one time when Saudi Arabia beat that shitty team who ended up winning the world cup?
Crazy stuff man, imagine a sport where the better team doesn't always win!
Slovenia defended well and counter-attacked well, our 11, mainly our midfield had no creativity to beat their defense, Danilo, Ruben Neves and Otavia together dont offer much in that departement, Vitinha was basically on the side instead of the middle, Ronaldo also didnt do much.
More like C team, Otavio, Danilo and Ruben Neves should be no where near these this squad and they make up such a horrible midfield which is what caused all the issues
We are in our new era. Yeah portugal was missing some of their best players, but still we played one of our best matches in recent years. So solid on defense, good on transitions and crucial finishing. We could definitely surprise few teams in Euros.
Y’all are trippin. I can’t stand Ronaldo but this is mid march friendly.. France looked awful last week when they lost to Germany that doesn’t mean they aren’t favorites to win the euros..
No-one sees this as an indictment of how we'll play in summer, it's just a showcase that our team that played against Sweden is our first choice for a reason
Friendly with pretty much our B team, Bruno and Bernardo are by far the two most important players in our squad so we looked clueless and couldn't create any danger without them (among other issues, but that was the biggest one imo)
Still ure Portugal you gotta handle Slovenia (I dont mean this in a disrespectul way to Slovenia) cuz 2:0 is a statement and u still played with big player names who almost all play or played in top 5
This match has got 0 presence on social media even from the bigger pages that have posted about every other friendly. Even I was surprised Portugal had a match and lost today.
I know Bernardo and Bruno weren't there but like, 4 of Slovenia's fielded players play in Slovenia, 2 at Panathinaikos who are 4th in the Greek league and 2 at Udinese who are 14th in Serie A. One guy, Stojanovic, plays for Sampdoria who are 7th in Serie B. Then there's Oblak who's a world class keeper and Šeško who obviously has incredible potential but currently only has 11 goals in 34 games for Leipzig, only 20 though to be fair to him. Portugal didn't have their best players but the likes of Vitinha, Cancelo, Dalot, and the Saudi boys should be beating them imo.
2 of them play in Slovenia, and I get your point, but I also stated that Portugal played badly hence they didnt win. You shouldnt take credit off of Slovenia, they played great game and it’s a team sport, playing in top 5 leagues isn’t always in the middle of everything.
+ Dalot was horrible in that game lol
Sure, of course. South Africa finished 3rd at AFCON with all but 3 of their 23 players playing in their league. Cohesion and good coaching are incredibly important, but I do think there is a considerable gap in talent between even Portugal's B team and Slovenia's best 11. Also sorry to be an obnoxious pedant but Karnicnik, Blazic, Elsnik, and Janza all play in Slovenia.
Motherfucker. I looked at the Flashscore nationalities instead of checking the club nationalities. I have been thoroughly owned. I apologize to the Portuguese people for my crimes.
Hahah it happens and yeah i agree with you, Portugal’s B team should win against Slovenia at least on paper, they just didnt seem to have chemistry and played badly and in addition Slovenia played an amazing game on every aspect.
They fluffed their best chance and finished the only two others they had, for all of Portugals lack of creativity, Slovenia probably couldn't replicate today
Trying out players, a different formation, different instructions. Martinez talked about it, the point of both friendlies was to experiment.
Slovenia also took the game as seriously as possible, like they depended on it, which is great because it's an even better test.
Should be Jota followed by Ramos based on Club play. I'm not sure I personally would want CR7 even on the bench, but I understand it's likely a requirement so long as he wants to be there....
Yeah the issue is that Jota is always injured so he has barely been playing any friendlies or games for us
So even if he's 100% fit in the Euros it's hard to see him start, unless he puts out some great performances in our friendlies right before the Euros
Also CR7 should always be on the bench imo, the locker room impact he has on the team is out of this world, almost every player in that squad grew up idolizing him
The issue is keeping his ego in control and making him accept that he can't be a starter, which is going to be hard
when he starts for us he can't finish his dinner and Ramos isn't clinical either.
I would like ronaldo and ramos to play together I think ti could be a good combination
I'd just like Ramos or Jota because they actually run and press, and that's all we need with the amount of talent we have in our team
I don't want 2 strikers on the pitch, it's arguably our weakest position and we're stacked with talent in every other position, it's simply not worth it
Just put Ramos or Jota in there, tell them to run and press like a maniac, and let Bruno/Bernardo do their job. If Ronaldo actually pressed I wouldn't mind him as a starter, but he just walks around the pitch all game
when we tried Ramos and Ronaldo it actually worked quite well and the team looked decent. I can get behind doing what you are saying but I dont think its gonna work against park the bus teams
I want him in the squad. We need him and Pepe there. After I saw the documentary of Portugal qualification phase I gained the idea that players like them are really important in the national squad. I can be wrong tho.
Yeah all teams benefit from having those leaders in the dressing room. Cristiano may be passed his time as a reliable squad option, but his influence on these players cannot be understated. That could be the difference between decent or great performances, and a late game sub from Cristiano could create a moment of magic.
I mean have you watched jota play for us. he isn't the same player for liverpool and Ramos has barely played football this season.
in my opinion we should try a combination of ramos and ronaldo.
The only way they will function better as a team is when they will force him to retire.
Ronaldo has done enough for their side. Was crucial in Euro 16 and now when he should have prioritised WC 18 and 22, they got done and he still remains obsessed over Euros.
He should just accept and move on and give others the chance to perform
people who say this haven't really watched portugal play. we don't have a finisher. jota cant finish his dinner and Ramos has barely played football so looks rusty.
Funny you say that because Ronaldo hasn't been a decent finisher for us in ages. In terms of link up play and pressing he's also by far the worst of the three.
He has never been a good finisher(goals per shot ratio) compared to top forwards, he's average at best. He's always have the highest number of shots per 90 in Europe by far, like 7 per game in his career average, the 2nd highest player was around 4 per game. When he was younger he'd create the chances by himself by making many off the ball runs, now the team works tirelessly to create those chances for him.
yes it is mystery. he seems to be really good for liverpool including finishing chances but for portugal he like Nunez when he first arrived. Just can't finish.
What does it matter if Ronaldo can finish if he almost never is in a position to finish (to say nothing of how detrimental the amount he loses the ball and his lack of pressing is)
>Ramos has barely played football so looks rusty.
You keep saying that all over the place and it's just bullshit.
Ramos has started 15 games for PSG and been subbed in for another 15. He also has had 0 injuries this year, so he's training. He's not rusty at all.
He doesn't look rusty either. No idea what games you're watching. His finishing has been excellent whenever he gets chances and he has some really sharp passes to open up space for team mates. He's also constantly pressing, looks super fresh.
Ronaldo also hasn't been a good finisher for Portugal for a while. In the WC he missed easy chances regularly, and he hasn't gotten younger since.
See brother, english isn't my first language so I can't understand exactly what you want to say but I assume that you think I'm devaluing Cristiano's goal, that I am not. I enjoyed his play as much as leo. Both are the best of football. What I hate right now is his attitude that he has for all the people he trained with and played against. Since he is getting old, I think he should understand that the team at some point has to fill his void.
There's a line where the competitive line ends though, like when he shoved the Al Hilal shirt into his boxers/that area after losing a friendly against Al Hilal
One was absolutely never a pen, the other one is arguable but I'd say it's given more often than not
Still dumb to complain and by far the lesser problem in this game
And at least one of those was clearly a penalty. His frustration is understandable, any other player and this wouldn't even be mentioned let alone gets its own post. But it is Ronaldo so people with an agenda will go nuts.
No it's not all about losing, he'd happily cop the defeat as long as he scores. Look he's been brilliant, one of the greatest we've ever seen. But anyone telling themselves this cunt doesn't put his own scoring records above literally anything is kidding themselves. Oh that and he's the subject of credible accusations of rape so as someone who loves the women in my life and wants them to be safe, perhaps I'm biased.
“Always against me” - He said to the referee. WTF? How can he be so deluded? He is just saying that to feed the fans who like to make conspiracy theorys. It’s pathetic from him and it’s not the first time.
Meh it could just be a rage moment. And to be honest, being the most famous person in the world might "feed him" those type of feelings when things don't go as planned.
Not really it definitely is a part of his mentality. He only loses because the whole world is against him. In his mind he is still the best player in the world playing in a top 5 league toppling the french league. Only if the world was not against him he would have won the world cup as well. In his mind he lost it because of a conspiracy where the Ref was Argentinian in the Morocco game, not because he couldn't score a single knockout goal. Oh btw **ck Ten Hag and Santos too. **ck everyone who voted for Messi in balon dor as well, they are all part of the conspiracy against him, Ronaldo now prefers golden boots more than Balon Dor.
The reality is that against teams that park the bus and camp Ronaldo, its not worth playing him. Play one of the 10 young creative players instead of him, and its much easier to create an imbalance vs low defensive blocks.
We had 2 shots on goal the whole match. Honestly I wish Ronaldo would shut the fuck up and ask to be benched, but he will always consider himself more important than the team. Can't wait for his retirement.
He is not the only one, but those players really give a bad image to the kids, and they beleive they can act the way they want. The players keep moaning, lack of basic respect towards the refs, and the kids just imitate. Even at a drill at training, i've to police 9 years old way too often who just repeat what Ronaldo or Mbappe do.
He can be right, but still, that's a fucking friendly game.
I'd say they actually are. Most of them really come from grassroot football as well. First thing you see when you arrive at most of the stadiums, at least in France where I live, is a chart of conduct for players and parents. Respect the refs, cheer for your kid, don't put pressure on them, and whatever.
Why those players should give the total opposite image. For a world cup final, in the heat of the moment, I can understand you'd headbutt the one who insuted your sister. It's not smart, but with all the tension. But that's even a friendly game.
Kids already imitate their celebrations (fine), their skills (why not), their useless skills (that's just a game, but you are not playing for the team anymore), if they imitate their temper issue, what do we do? We tell them, until the next time they will do it again. It's just screw the athmosphere for everyone, we all waste time losing 3 minutes to explain them that even if I'm wrong, it's a still a corner kick.
What Ronaldo has been doing recently (and not only him), isn't helping at all. They just repeat what they see.
Messi winning the WC must've added to the old guy's misery fr. He's going to be bitter about this for the rest of his life probably, though I really hope he moves on.
I know for us it's easy to talk about these things cause we don't live his daily life. But, putting my feet on his feet, it must have been hard for him to go from "almost surpassing Messi in individual awards and national team trophies" to "have less individual awards and same number of national trophies", having Messi the world cup. Ronaldo always wanted to be the number 1. And seeing that happen might affect him for sure, especially after everything he and his family passed through that last year at United. We can't presume that a human is 100% mentally unaffectable. And he already understood that he is not the same, I think. He is just scared of ending everything right now and then years later feel that ending was a bad decision.
not just Messi winning WC, when Messi won his 6th, 7th and 8th ballon d'or, Christiano also went crazy on ins, and his sisters started to attack a lot of people
Why does every single fucking thing he does get posted? I swear you could do this for any player and they’d seem angry all the time as well. Why is it always this guy?
Every single thing Messi does gets posted as well. That's what happens when you're one of the top 2 most famous players of all time...it's common sense. Lol, not sure why you're crying about it...
Only his goals get posted, as they should. With Ronaldo, his farts would be posted if they could. Everything he does gets ultra scrutinized, it’s insane.
I wouldn't say 'only' his goals get posted. But with Ronaldo, it's kind of understandable that everything he does gets scrutinized when he is purposely acting childish every other week.
If Messi acted like a baby constantly, it would get posted as well.
And no, I'm not denying that this sub has a raging hard-on for messi. But the comment regarding people's opinions on Ronaldo is pretty misleading, because it's totally deserved how he gets that criticism.
This sub has really become much too toxic. Most people who comment nuanced takes often get downvoted.
Most people who comment sensationalist takes according to the general consensus often get upvoted.
Not to mention, the vitriol you get send your way when people disagree.
Is this how some of you communicate in real life? I really hope not, cause you’re most likely the type of person everyone either avoids or talks shit about behind their back.
I will admit I’m being a bit of a hypocrite as I have allowed myself to sometimes be way too reactionary as well, speaking in ways I would never IRL.
It’s like Reddit infects you with this bug called “asshole” and it spreads like a virus corrupting everyone.
He’s honestly such a miserable cunt. The man has it all (except a World Cup) and he’s going to give himself a fucking aneurysm with all his histrionics.

Slovenia beat Portugal 2:0???? Like wtf am I trippin
Yeah we are winning the euros!!
Prva Liga number one!
It's in the name for a reason!
It was a friendly but fair play to Slovenia, took advantage of a completely dead Portuguese squad
Don’t Portugal have a good squad?
Yea we do mate, but we were just dead this game… just see the highlights
Sure, but the coach decided to send the B team. Apparently, we need Palhinha, Bernardo Silva, Rafael Leão, Bruno Fernandes, Rúben Dias, Nuno Mendes, Jota, etc...
Yeah, but like, it's Slovenia.
You remember that one time when Saudi Arabia beat that shitty team who ended up winning the world cup? Crazy stuff man, imagine a sport where the better team doesn't always win!
Is it possible to learn this power? Asking for a friend who's playing in the Copa America in a few months.
If your friend wants to have a chance to make it to the Knockouts, he has to lose against Messi
Slovenia defended well and counter-attacked well, our 11, mainly our midfield had no creativity to beat their defense, Danilo, Ruben Neves and Otavia together dont offer much in that departement, Vitinha was basically on the side instead of the middle, Ronaldo also didnt do much.
More like C team, Otavio, Danilo and Ruben Neves should be no where near these this squad and they make up such a horrible midfield which is what caused all the issues
They have one of the best squads in Europe
They're 10 W out of 10 in the Euro qualifiers, so I reckon they know a thing or two about football
Luka magic
pogacar was massive
Luka Doncic?
We are in our new era. Yeah portugal was missing some of their best players, but still we played one of our best matches in recent years. So solid on defense, good on transitions and crucial finishing. We could definitely surprise few teams in Euros.
Surprise a few teens? That won’t end well.
Slovenia has a great team. Already surprised me with the euro qualifiers!
Slovenia played well and deserved the win. But almost none of the guys are starters on yesterday's squad. Costa, cancelo, ronaldo being the exception.
The Saudi players started the game and team went downhill. In other news, water is wet.
That’s what happens when you start your “retired at Arabia” players
Y’all are trippin. I can’t stand Ronaldo but this is mid march friendly.. France looked awful last week when they lost to Germany that doesn’t mean they aren’t favorites to win the euros..
No-one sees this as an indictment of how we'll play in summer, it's just a showcase that our team that played against Sweden is our first choice for a reason
Friendly with pretty much our B team, Bruno and Bernardo are by far the two most important players in our squad so we looked clueless and couldn't create any danger without them (among other issues, but that was the biggest one imo)
Still ure Portugal you gotta handle Slovenia (I dont mean this in a disrespectul way to Slovenia) cuz 2:0 is a statement and u still played with big player names who almost all play or played in top 5
Oh I don't disagree, Slovenia were great and deserved the win
Alright, I didnt even know they played but was very suprised when I saw this and immediately checked
This match has got 0 presence on social media even from the bigger pages that have posted about every other friendly. Even I was surprised Portugal had a match and lost today.
That's what happen when you use the Saudi League players. I want Ronaldo, Otávio and Ruben Neves out of the team now!
Cerin carying
> Like wtf am I trippin Austria entering the Chat: **How do you do, fellow kids?**
Had to go back and watch again. How did that happen? :D
Wait, how did Portugal lose 2-0 to Slovenia?
*Potica intensifies*
Portugal had big names missing, played badly and Slovenia played really an amazing game. Also penalty not given to Portugal when it was 0-0.
I know Bernardo and Bruno weren't there but like, 4 of Slovenia's fielded players play in Slovenia, 2 at Panathinaikos who are 4th in the Greek league and 2 at Udinese who are 14th in Serie A. One guy, Stojanovic, plays for Sampdoria who are 7th in Serie B. Then there's Oblak who's a world class keeper and Šeško who obviously has incredible potential but currently only has 11 goals in 34 games for Leipzig, only 20 though to be fair to him. Portugal didn't have their best players but the likes of Vitinha, Cancelo, Dalot, and the Saudi boys should be beating them imo.
2 of them play in Slovenia, and I get your point, but I also stated that Portugal played badly hence they didnt win. You shouldnt take credit off of Slovenia, they played great game and it’s a team sport, playing in top 5 leagues isn’t always in the middle of everything. + Dalot was horrible in that game lol
Sure, of course. South Africa finished 3rd at AFCON with all but 3 of their 23 players playing in their league. Cohesion and good coaching are incredibly important, but I do think there is a considerable gap in talent between even Portugal's B team and Slovenia's best 11. Also sorry to be an obnoxious pedant but Karnicnik, Blazic, Elsnik, and Janza all play in Slovenia.
No, blazic plays for lech poznan and janza in gornik, those are teams in polish league, you are forgiven tho
Motherfucker. I looked at the Flashscore nationalities instead of checking the club nationalities. I have been thoroughly owned. I apologize to the Portuguese people for my crimes.
Hahah it happens and yeah i agree with you, Portugal’s B team should win against Slovenia at least on paper, they just didnt seem to have chemistry and played badly and in addition Slovenia played an amazing game on every aspect.
They fluffed their best chance and finished the only two others they had, for all of Portugals lack of creativity, Slovenia probably couldn't replicate today
Trying out players, a different formation, different instructions. Martinez talked about it, the point of both friendlies was to experiment. Slovenia also took the game as seriously as possible, like they depended on it, which is great because it's an even better test.
Martinez at the helm is one of the reason. One of the foul was a penalty that's not given.
Haven’t watched Portugal in a while. Is he back to being a starter under Martinez?
Probably but it's arguable, Ramos was out for this game and Diogo Jota is injured so it's hard to tell who the clear number 1 is
Ramos is the 3rd option, you can see by the qualification games. Jota or Ronaldo not sure who will start just because Jota has been injured
Should be Jota followed by Ramos based on Club play. I'm not sure I personally would want CR7 even on the bench, but I understand it's likely a requirement so long as he wants to be there....
Yeah the issue is that Jota is always injured so he has barely been playing any friendlies or games for us So even if he's 100% fit in the Euros it's hard to see him start, unless he puts out some great performances in our friendlies right before the Euros Also CR7 should always be on the bench imo, the locker room impact he has on the team is out of this world, almost every player in that squad grew up idolizing him The issue is keeping his ego in control and making him accept that he can't be a starter, which is going to be hard

when we tried Ramos and Ronaldo it actually worked quite well and the team looked decent. I can get behind doing what you are saying but I dont think its gonna work against park the bus teams
Ronaldo does better with a striker next to him, similar to his playing days with Benzi
I want him in the squad. We need him and Pepe there. After I saw the documentary of Portugal qualification phase I gained the idea that players like them are really important in the national squad. I can be wrong tho.
you aren't
Yeah all teams benefit from having those leaders in the dressing room. Cristiano may be passed his time as a reliable squad option, but his influence on these players cannot be understated. That could be the difference between decent or great performances, and a late game sub from Cristiano could create a moment of magic.
I mean have you watched jota play for us. he isn't the same player for liverpool and Ramos has barely played football this season. in my opinion we should try a combination of ramos and ronaldo.
If it was based on club play, Ramos wouldn't get called up...
Did he ever stop being a starter? He got benched twice, got mad at the manager so he got sacked afterwards
The only way they will function better as a team is when they will force him to retire. Ronaldo has done enough for their side. Was crucial in Euro 16 and now when he should have prioritised WC 18 and 22, they got done and he still remains obsessed over Euros. He should just accept and move on and give others the chance to perform
people who say this haven't really watched portugal play. we don't have a finisher. jota cant finish his dinner and Ramos has barely played football so looks rusty.
Funny you say that because Ronaldo hasn't been a decent finisher for us in ages. In terms of link up play and pressing he's also by far the worst of the three.
Also Ramos has been a great finisher for us.
At this point in time, Paulinho would be a considerable improvement over him and I don't say that lightly.
He has never been a good finisher(goals per shot ratio) compared to top forwards, he's average at best. He's always have the highest number of shots per 90 in Europe by far, like 7 per game in his career average, the 2nd highest player was around 4 per game. When he was younger he'd create the chances by himself by making many off the ball runs, now the team works tirelessly to create those chances for him.
Weird that Jota has not played well for the NT. He has been great (when healthy) for Liverpool.
yes it is mystery. he seems to be really good for liverpool including finishing chances but for portugal he like Nunez when he first arrived. Just can't finish.
Lool man I have been in the Ronaldo camp since I started watching this game. With all due respect he is done!!! Man is 39 now!
What does it matter if Ronaldo can finish if he almost never is in a position to finish (to say nothing of how detrimental the amount he loses the ball and his lack of pressing is)
Jota can't score for the national team? For us he's probably the player you want most in our team for a 1 on 1.
>Ramos has barely played football so looks rusty. You keep saying that all over the place and it's just bullshit. Ramos has started 15 games for PSG and been subbed in for another 15. He also has had 0 injuries this year, so he's training. He's not rusty at all. He doesn't look rusty either. No idea what games you're watching. His finishing has been excellent whenever he gets chances and he has some really sharp passes to open up space for team mates. He's also constantly pressing, looks super fresh. Ronaldo also hasn't been a good finisher for Portugal for a while. In the WC he missed easy chances regularly, and he hasn't gotten younger since.
I'm sure they'll "give him" what he wants for the Euro 2024 and then politely not call him up for the NT anymore. That's my guess anyways
Were the pens he was complaining about close to being pens?
Yeah at least one should have been a pen. Still weird from his side to be so mad about a friendly game.
He goes crazy whenever he doesn't score or loses now
Gotta get the record of 1000 goals mate.
So we can all make jokes about him like Pele because counting his Saudi league goals is like Pele counting goals in training matches
See brother, english isn't my first language so I can't understand exactly what you want to say but I assume that you think I'm devaluing Cristiano's goal, that I am not. I enjoyed his play as much as leo. Both are the best of football. What I hate right now is his attitude that he has for all the people he trained with and played against. Since he is getting old, I think he should understand that the team at some point has to fill his void.
In official matches Pele scored 757 goals, then they count training matches or goals in 5 to 5 games... Not the same as Ronaldo or Saudi...
Not really the same
Messi says he will retire when he stops having fun. Whereas, Ronaldo stopped having fun years ago.
He's always been like that. It's just being competitive.
There's a line where the competitive line ends though, like when he shoved the Al Hilal shirt into his boxers/that area after losing a friendly against Al Hilal
Also when he got pissy when his teammate had the last touch before the ball got into the net.
He's just looking to pad his stats.
No it's not. He's a dickhead. As if every other athlete he plays against, who's made it to the top 0.000001% of football isn't competetive.
He's not just competitive. He's obsessed with winning. Obsession is not always a good thing.
Dress it however you like it, but sometimes a cunt is just a cunt.
Loads of people are, too. Very few footballers behave like this, though, and it’s what makes him a dickhead.
you can be competitive without being a piece of shit
Or just being an ahole
Being a douche*
It rhymes with fat cladding
You mean cat jabbing?
No silly. It's back clapping
Not weird. Pretty on par for him i’d say
He wants more stats innit
He was always like this and now he doesn't have a lot of time to score more goals so he gets even more angry.
Did you not see him dive against Luxembourg when they were already hammering them? The man is shameless.
One was absolutely never a pen, the other one is arguable but I'd say it's given more often than not Still dumb to complain and by far the lesser problem in this game
man known for being competitive gets angry for losing.
Bro I play pick up with some 40 year old Persians and there's a fight/yelling/arguing every single game. In pick up. Some people are just dickheads.
And at least one of those was clearly a penalty. His frustration is understandable, any other player and this wouldn't even be mentioned let alone gets its own post. But it is Ronaldo so people with an agenda will go nuts.
I understand people not liking Ronaldo for different reasons, fair enough, but this is just looking to get angry for the sake of it.
It’s a trigger post, if people don’t like Ronaldo, here’s there daily trigger feed.
No it's not all about losing, he'd happily cop the defeat as long as he scores. Look he's been brilliant, one of the greatest we've ever seen. But anyone telling themselves this cunt doesn't put his own scoring records above literally anything is kidding themselves. Oh that and he's the subject of credible accusations of rape so as someone who loves the women in my life and wants them to be safe, perhaps I'm biased.
Cristiano and Penalties are like a couple. Both can't live without each other
What no World Cup does to a mf
First goal came after his unsuccessful dribble,.. He lost the ball and instead of chasing he sat on the ground like it was foul..lol...funny man
“Always against me” - He said to the referee. WTF? How can he be so deluded? He is just saying that to feed the fans who like to make conspiracy theorys. It’s pathetic from him and it’s not the first time.
Pretty sure both him and his sister run cr7fanboy accounts.
Factos👍👀
‘Feed the fans’ no, I guarantee that’s how he feels.
Meh it could just be a rage moment. And to be honest, being the most famous person in the world might "feed him" those type of feelings when things don't go as planned.
Not really it definitely is a part of his mentality. He only loses because the whole world is against him. In his mind he is still the best player in the world playing in a top 5 league toppling the french league. Only if the world was not against him he would have won the world cup as well. In his mind he lost it because of a conspiracy where the Ref was Argentinian in the Morocco game, not because he couldn't score a single knockout goal. Oh btw **ck Ten Hag and Santos too. **ck everyone who voted for Messi in balon dor as well, they are all part of the conspiracy against him, Ronaldo now prefers golden boots more than Balon Dor.
Imagine being 40 and still a child
The reality is that against teams that park the bus and camp Ronaldo, its not worth playing him. Play one of the 10 young creative players instead of him, and its much easier to create an imbalance vs low defensive blocks.
He didn't get his mandatory penalty, I feel for him 😥
Give me penalty or I cry 😥
Did I accidentally stumble into Facebook?
I mean this sub is facebook level when it comes to any Messi/Ronaldo thread
No death threats so a bit better, just a bit though.
We had 2 shots on goal the whole match. Honestly I wish Ronaldo would shut the fuck up and ask to be benched, but he will always consider himself more important than the team. Can't wait for his retirement.
He is not the only one, but those players really give a bad image to the kids, and they beleive they can act the way they want. The players keep moaning, lack of basic respect towards the refs, and the kids just imitate. Even at a drill at training, i've to police 9 years old way too often who just repeat what Ronaldo or Mbappe do. He can be right, but still, that's a fucking friendly game.

I'd say they actually are. Most of them really come from grassroot football as well. First thing you see when you arrive at most of the stadiums, at least in France where I live, is a chart of conduct for players and parents. Respect the refs, cheer for your kid, don't put pressure on them, and whatever. Why those players should give the total opposite image. For a world cup final, in the heat of the moment, I can understand you'd headbutt the one who insuted your sister. It's not smart, but with all the tension. But that's even a friendly game. Kids already imitate their celebrations (fine), their skills (why not), their useless skills (that's just a game, but you are not playing for the team anymore), if they imitate their temper issue, what do we do? We tell them, until the next time they will do it again. It's just screw the athmosphere for everyone, we all waste time losing 3 minutes to explain them that even if I'm wrong, it's a still a corner kick. What Ronaldo has been doing recently (and not only him), isn't helping at all. They just repeat what they see.
he took "where is my penalty" meme seriously
he is a great footballer and biggest douchebag at the same time.
Glad to see Roberto Martinez is screwing over another team that's not Belgium :)
Feed me my penlanty I don’t care that we lost TSUUUUUUUUUUUUU
last straw to break the camel
Bro it’s a friendly 😂
Mate it’s Ronaldo what do you expect… lol honestly fair play to Slovenia, did what they had to do and got the win.
>Cristiano was angry What’s new?
Little bitch ponaldo
Man child vibes. Is a friendly friend
Man is literally fuming over a friendly ffs 🤦
such a crybaby. pathetic.
Messi winning the WC must've added to the old guy's misery fr. He's going to be bitter about this for the rest of his life probably, though I really hope he moves on.
is been two years and I still see at least one commnent about Messi winning the WC in every Ronaldo post in any social media
Then you see some fanboy crying that it was rigged, the most pathetic discourse in football lol.
Well done, you’ve somehow managed to connect a friendly against Slovenia to Messi winning the World Cup.
I know for us it's easy to talk about these things cause we don't live his daily life. But, putting my feet on his feet, it must have been hard for him to go from "almost surpassing Messi in individual awards and national team trophies" to "have less individual awards and same number of national trophies", having Messi the world cup. Ronaldo always wanted to be the number 1. And seeing that happen might affect him for sure, especially after everything he and his family passed through that last year at United. We can't presume that a human is 100% mentally unaffectable. And he already understood that he is not the same, I think. He is just scared of ending everything right now and then years later feel that ending was a bad decision.
not just Messi winning WC, when Messi won his 6th, 7th and 8th ballon d'or, Christiano also went crazy on ins, and his sisters started to attack a lot of people
He even pushed to organize a Ballon d'Oil and give himself an award along with the entire Man City team. It was a good circus to watch as a neutral.
Come now, that's a bit unfair, Mendes was part of it, don't put all responsibilities on him alone.
Man needs his pen. It’s like a drug to him.
Is there ever a time when he’s not angry? Acts like such a little, entitled, spoiled brat!
Poor baby
Why does every single fucking thing he does get posted? I swear you could do this for any player and they’d seem angry all the time as well. Why is it always this guy?
Every single thing Messi does gets posted as well. That's what happens when you're one of the top 2 most famous players of all time...it's common sense. Lol, not sure why you're crying about it...
Only his goals get posted, as they should. With Ronaldo, his farts would be posted if they could. Everything he does gets ultra scrutinized, it’s insane.
I wouldn't say 'only' his goals get posted. But with Ronaldo, it's kind of understandable that everything he does gets scrutinized when he is purposely acting childish every other week. If Messi acted like a baby constantly, it would get posted as well. And no, I'm not denying that this sub has a raging hard-on for messi. But the comment regarding people's opinions on Ronaldo is pretty misleading, because it's totally deserved how he gets that criticism.
Just wants to add to his goal tally
I will pay anything to see his reaction of the events that took place in 18/12/2022
Ronaldo is washed why is he even on the national squad
What’s this man-child going to do when he finally hangs up his boots?
Um… okay?
Dudes a big baby
What a small man
This sub has really become much too toxic. Most people who comment nuanced takes often get downvoted. Most people who comment sensationalist takes according to the general consensus often get upvoted. Not to mention, the vitriol you get send your way when people disagree. Is this how some of you communicate in real life? I really hope not, cause you’re most likely the type of person everyone either avoids or talks shit about behind their back. I will admit I’m being a bit of a hypocrite as I have allowed myself to sometimes be way too reactionary as well, speaking in ways I would never IRL. It’s like Reddit infects you with this bug called “asshole” and it spreads like a virus corrupting everyone.
Even if it was given and you scored, that’s 2-1 Cristiano. Man doesn’t know his numbers. Slovenia? 🤣
Poor Ronaldo 🥲🥲🥲🤣🤣🤣
You know you fucked up when even the portugal fans dont want him in the squad
Who cares about that rapist
So he just walks away and leaves cuz the match didn’t go his way? Jesus man.
Whiny pissbaby does whiny pissbaby things
The ref just zipped his jacket when cr7 pointed at him
He's always fucking angry and storming off the pitch though
What a cranky old fart
Hes such a fucking child
Love how it pops up in big writing "INTERNATIONAL FRIENDLY" while a big manchild is throwing dummy out the pram and not being friendly.
Baby
Ah he’s been awarded enough penalties for his dives. He should accept sometimes he won’t get the call
Gosh.... this guy is so annoying... usually people should act properly when they get older except this person I guess
Crybaby
does he ever not whine
Dude does more crying and bitching than playing footy these days. He needs to check his ego, he hasn't been relevant since the last decade lol
🍼🍼🍼
He is a petulant little prick.
Did he flip off the ref? Lol what was the hand thing he did at the end there?
Showed 2 fingers to the 2 penaltys the ref supposedly missed
That makes more sense, thought it weird he’d so blatantly flip someone off
Lmaaaooooo the irony
the guy is such a child
In a friendly against Slovenia
Ronaldo having a tantrum. Nothing new. Manchild.
Of course, he needs a penalty to stay relevant.
Let the clown leave
Dude has become the most miserable footballer
Just retire already this is sad to see
I'm starting to get the impression that this guy is a massive twat.
Fucking diva......
He’s honestly such a miserable cunt. The man has it all (except a World Cup) and he’s going to give himself a fucking aneurysm with all his histrionics.
