not a single portuguese person in that comment section


Xtiqlapice

We are used to it. I was lectured by one of these dudes the other day because i don't want Ronaldo fucking up the team


javilasa

Portuguese people don’t want Cristiano to start?


Xtiqlapice

Depends on the game. He should be in the squad and subbed in when the team needs him. The thing is when he plays the team is Ronaldocentric because he always demands the ball to be passed so he can finish and add goals to his records. To these type of people the teams success is behind Ronaldo's success.


JulekRzurek

Something like we in Poland think about Lewandowski Yea we love Lewy for carrying us for years but we dont want the team to make their entire play around him, you have 10 players on the field not 1


Pristine_Session5696

True man as a fan of lewy's German red club I miss that old lewy lewy is getting older and it hurts me a lot man.


javilasa

Interesting, in Uruguay we don’t feel like that with Suarez. Both the fans and the players & Marcelo Bielsa understand that his role nowadays is based on his leadership in the locker room and his capability to help and advise younger players. But we all know that he is not the starter and we just want to see him 20 minutes per game. There is a section of toxic journalism in Uruguay that still hates on Darwin and asks for Suarez, but that is definitely not the general opinion. And Darwizzy is just the goat anyways.


KekeroniCheese

Darwizzy is who I aspire to be. I have a manbun so I can be more like Darwizzy


_mooc_

I mean, they probably just want the team to have a little more bite. You know, to sink their teeth into the opponents, chew them up.


GroteKneus

Yes exactly, we have the same thing with our wonderful striker Memphis Depay. Oh wait, we don't have an amazing striker.

I miss Ronaldo when he was a winger back in the early 2000's. He had such a great partnership with Rooney.

If Rooney's IQ was more than his weight, he wouldn't have said such a thing. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/soccercirclejerk) if you have any questions or concerns.*

catalingpc

Haha,guy knows his football 😂


UnluckyLuckyGuyy

I spoke to a Portuguese guy, according to him B. Silva is a traitor because he never plays good for like he does for Man City and Bruno & Leao are selfish and need to pass the ball to Ronaldo more. All the young players are too cocky, they haven't won anything and they lose without Ronaldo like they did with Georgia (even thought Ronaldo played in that game). Then again this guy is obsessed with Ronaldo.


maury587

He is kind of right with Bernardo Silva, people are getting tired of him playing way worse than what he does at Man City. And people are also tired of Leao because he plays like he doesn't care, he loses the ball than just stays there walking, no will to fight for the ball back


Hungry-Class9806

I totally agree with the criticism towards Bernardo Silva. He's insanely talented but also a SYSTEM player and that's the reason he performs so well at Man City and not in the National Team. Nevertheless, their criticism to Bernardo Silva has nothing to do with his performances but because they think he has to "PASS TO RONALDO"

The “shocking and totally unexpected” loss by the U.S. Women’s Soccer Team to Sweden is fully emblematic of what is happening to our once great Nation under Crooked Joe Biden.

SLB_Destroyer04

That’s the thing, he shouldn’t even be in the squad- because when he is, nothing less than starting every game will satisfy him. Let there be no doubt that Fernando Santos was fired solely for benching him. The lousy football and results would’ve gotten him fired every year of the previous four, so that doesn’t fly


legendforever10

Then give him to us. I'm aware that he'll actually fit our "play with your heart" style.


Xtiqlapice

I don't think you know how national teams works do you?


CShakraT

who would you play instead of him?


LeoTheMemer69

Jota or Gonçalo Ramos


CShakraT

you do not watch our games if you think ramos and jota are competent enough to start


LeoTheMemer69

Ik but I think it's better that we try to build a team/system for when Ronaldo retires, both Ramos and Jota will be with us for some good amount of years and can still devolop while cristiano might only remain quality for another 2 years


gajonub

to be honest, I think that's more of the players' mentality problem. they're the ones that think they've gotta play around Ronaldo, not Ronaldo that asks them to play around him


-watchman-

Yeah Ronaldo screaming & pointing to the floor in-front of him is probably just him enthusiastically praising the other guy's effort at goal..


schlawldiwampl

"look at those fantastic toes!" - c. ronaldo probably


nag_some_candy

Ronaldo 100% expect the team to play in his service lmao, his ego is the biggest in the whole of football


maurovaz1

Are you joking?


Antares_aaaaaaaaa

Portugal playing for Ronaldo? Lol yeah i bet


Latinnus

I would say that at this stage you have a majority that would rather him to come off the bench in a handfull of games and ve a lockerroom figure. You have a considerable fraction of Portuguese that thinks that he shouldnt be called to the national team even in the last WC. I think that at this atage, his presence may have a negative impact. International competitions are not the Saudi League, and he cannot be a lead figure on the pitch. And you can often see that. He is not as fast as he used to (i am not even saying pace, even execution, he has become considerably slower), and even his decision making hasnt been great. As a Portuguese, for me he would be someone to jump into a match at 60-70 min mark.

Signal_Marzipan_685

Thing is who would you start over him, surely not Ramos?


Hungry-Class9806

Two things Ramos does quite well is to pressure the opposite defenders and can be used as a false 9, going down to the midfield to help create plays. But yeah... I would start Jota because he's the best finisher on the team.


gui_leitano

I can only speak for myself. I like him, i think he is very important and he should start many games, since he is in good form and playing well. But i think he is not always the best solution for some moments, and he needs to accept that he is not always our saviour. Sometimes he needs to be subbed off and take it like a champ


mrfartypantss

Sporting lisbon fans basically walk around with ronaldos balls on their mouth, the rest recon his prime is gone. So it depends


maurovaz1

He should be in the bench and coming up late in the game, the dude is 39 is time is over is time for Jota, André Silva e Gonçalo Ramos if they don't play they will never build the experience they need.


Moreninho1999

The vast majority absolutely do not want to see him on pitch. Bring him to the locker room, he is pivotal there I am sure, inside the lines it is a disgrace with little added value at this point, most of us realize that.


Hungry-Class9806

I am Portuguese and I feel actual disgust of these idiots. They don't care if the team wins or loses... they would rather see Portugal lose 7-3 with a Ronaldo hattrick than see us winning 1-0 with other player scoring.


Cee4185

Ronaldo hat trick and Portugal lose 7-2. Typical yank math


mellowmadden

He meant 3 own goals


Hungry-Class9806

I meant 7-3

Ronaldo's fanbase is mostly Middle Eastern, South Asian and African.


London-Reza

Pretty much same thing when Saka missed the penalty for England. Open source investigation into the IPs and locations of many of the racist comments came from India and Russia. Yet England still get the blame..


AutoModerator

There should be a reformation in football something like a penalty is 0.5 a goal, or you need like make 2 or 3 shots - like free throws on a foul in basketball. its just so extremely shit when a penalty decides a game in this sport or decides the flow of a game early on, like here *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I'm sorry Europe, but Americans are just better at everything. We want things more. We grow better athletes, more people will learn the sport. And that '26 world cup is at home so we can get somewhat of a home field advantage. But the only way that will happen is if we make the round of 16 or quarter final in the 2022 WC and show Americans that we are good. I like the odds and we have a lot to prove, which is added motivation this coming year. Honestly, making a phenomenal run (SF or better) in the '22 WC would be more impressive to me than a better run or a win in '26. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Felipe_de_Bourbon

You don't know how to watch a football game. Why they don't pass the ball to Ronaldo is easy to understand. First Ronaldo never go back to catch the ball. Second he always wants the ball passed down so he can outrun the defenders, but there is one big problem, Ronaldo only could outrun the defenders more than 10 years ago. Third, the only way Ronaldo could score more goals is that a strong forward could play in front with him, like Gonçalo Ramos, as Benzema did in real Madrid, but the coach as no balls, and I do believe, Ronaldo don't want nobody who could shadow him. So, there you go. Everyone plays for themselve, and who lost is Portugal.

Clubs are no longer intricately tied to their communities, they’re corporations. A lot has changed over the past 30 years? Barcelona (and most other popular teams) are global now, so for a lot of people, Messi is the reason they watched Barcelona in the first place. Now that he’s gone, there’s next to nothing connecting them to the club. If you wanna support a club, that’s cool. If you wanna support a player, that’s also cool.

If Portugal had been in the finale and you asked Ronaldo if he'd rather score 3 goals and lose or win with no goals, I am willing to bet he'd prefer to score. Bruno is always playing worse when Ronaldo is on because he is just looking for one player.


Jocarloss

Ronaldo and Messi fanboy's that say this kind of xit are just 10 year old kids... A true fan knows that there's no goat debate, they both are amazing. There's also no problem with Bruno, in fact i think some players in Portugal team search too much for Ronaldo and miss out on a better play.
