compare portugals talent and argentinas talent



im just gonna leave it at that.

Ronaldo played in 8 major tournaments for at least half of those he played with the golden generation Portuguese players like Figo, Cuoto and Rui Costa and the Porto 2004 team like Carvahlo, Deco. They were a finalist and semi-finalist in the Euros and World Cup before they finally won. He hasn't played with the equivalent of Sweden or Wales type players that Ibra or Bale have had in their career. Argentina also had a trajectory in the mid- 2000s when they were at their strongest in the Pekerman days before their peak but that is done. Argentina is just one of those teams that look good on paper but Aguero, Higuain,DiMaria have been serial flops at tournaments. And just like Portugal both teams turned to strengthen their defensive side of the game to cope with their decline in midfield hence their ability to reach finals.

He finally passed Donovan in World Cup goals and took him 2 extra games to get there.

They have reached finals with Messi and lost all 4

The ghost of Diego is too much for Messi and co

What’s the backstory to Nigerian tradition of bringing live Chickens into the stadium?

Edit : NVM I read they paint em green and white and bring em as a sign of good luck

he still got the assist in the final minutes of that game vs USA.

ronaldo is amazing. score a hat trick vs one of the three favourites to win the whole tournament.

Made me want to legit cry
I love this game!

 

[Jax]

I thought we buried that tikki takka bullshyt
I hate them motherfukkers!
Portugal got a squad, nikkas just didn't have the composure and touch. William Carvalho is a great player but he's so damn slow

 

[Jermio]

I hope Belgium or Portugal wins this year. Can't root for France after the Euros. How much more talent do them nikkas need?

Messi has got to sack up and be a leader. Ronaldo would absolutely win a World Cup with Dybala, Di Maria, Aguero, Mascherano, Higuain, Otamendi, (and Tevez back in the day). Messi always comes to play, but I'm not convinced he's inspiring/forcing his players to be better and show up. CR7 has the edge on him mentally.

That Moroccan own goal got to be the WOAT...

Legit looked like he deliberately headed it into his own net...

and in stoppage time to makes it far worse...
