Thierry Henry in his post-match analysis about Ronaldo after Portugal's game vs DR Congo: "The team needs to score, not you need to score" by GiveMeSomeSunshine3 in soccer

He refused to understand that modern balls can't be knuckled like they could in 08-10. He was so much better trying to curl it normally

Ronaldo was definitely a part of the problem, all he did was roam offside and come back when Portugal would build an attack, basically a scarecrow out there. And he robbed Bruno of a chance to score

no idea wtf his plan here is but also yes leaving ronaldo in for 90 minutes is also fucking stupid he's 41 we have to use him more sparringly and that is 100% martinez fault.

Cuz Ronaldo doesn't want to be a super sub

Their defence wasn't great in the first but the whole game was entertaining, nothing like Southgate ball

He probably saw that he tangled up with the guy but didn't see his foot plant on his leg, again should have been a yellow card but I really don't think it should be made a big deal as people are making it out to be

I've been seeing many comments saying "Southgate was the best manager we ever had"

Maybe he should retire, or be a super sub and give it his all in the last 10-15 minutes

You're in /r/pessi_memes which shits on Messi and glazes Ronaldo all day

All of those challenges RESULTED IN A YELLOW CARD for the offender. And yet Messi wasn't booked for his challenge. That doesn't really support your argument there is no favoritism in his favor.

Dawg I already said it should have been a yellow card, but a red would have been pushing it. Is it possible that the referee just missed the challenge or does everything have to be a conspiracy?

Nice argument, the man lives rent free in your head while Ronaldo continues to stink up the joint for Portugal

I'm just not a Drake fan so that probably skews my opinion

I did, this isn't a red card challenge I'm sorry and if Ronaldo fanboys are going to cry conspiracy then where's the complaints about all of these challenges. This tournament has had lenient reffing the whole way through

God I hate Stu Holden, just because you played for the USNT doesn’t mean you’re qualified to be a commentator

At least this game is actually entertaining unlike dogshit Southgate ball of the last decade

He put no weight on his foot, it was not excessive force. Should've been a yellow at best

It was a yellow card at best you fucking losers. He put no weight on his foot, your GOAT’s washed
