Hats off to luminarath, the true GOAT who got every Euro 2024 score right. His leaks have been perfect so far. We'll all be gutted when they cancel him for revealing this info to the public.
France haven't scored an open play goal at Euro 2024 and here they are in the semis. And if you remove own goals, France have scored just one goal (that too was a penalty). Insane.
I still had doubts until now but now it's clear, DD planned this from the start (ultra solid defense and no play) in short... This is going to be the Spanish hurricane against the French Fortress in 1/2
Jota and Neto are both big game changers. I think Portugal would have got to semis if they started either one of them over CR7, or at least brought them on.
@@jeffreytan5826 we should honestly sack this coach before the 2026 wc. Everything about this euro was disgraceful. Poor subs, poor management, and this coach still wants to bend over for ronaldo, who's clearly too old. It's not that hard to see who you need on the pitch.
Martinez is so deluded about CR7 not declining that if you asked him, if you could, would you rather play this CR7 or would you rather play the CR7 from 6 years ago, he'd say today's CR7.
@@मृदुलशर्मा nope,,,ronaldo is afraid of stepping on USA land,,,because a r@pa case against him is still pending on a LA court,,he won't play the 2026 world cup for this reason
I believe he played 120 min bcoz he would start screaming and throwing hands on the bench if he gets subbed and maybe Martinez didn't want to deal with that
I disagree, I've seen some nice upsets and enjoyable matches in the poules.. the quarter finals so far have given us an entertaining match between Spain and Germany, and then there was France.. who haven't been enjoyable ever since Zidane quit.
Roberto Martinez cost Portugal tonight. He should have either substituted Ronaldo or brought him at the later stages of the game. Not utilising the talents he had on the bench was also absolute criminal
@@huntermogs Joao Felix should've never taken a penalty. and I don't think he counts as a proper 'talent' if we're being honest. he's so terribly inconsistent
Portugal and France basically played with ten men as both Mbappe and Ronaldo were MIA. At least Deschamps had the courage to take out Mbappe before it was too late.
Mbappe hasn’t scored a goal since Champions League quarterfinals so what Frank said is nonsense. He couldn’t score in 2 games in semis when his team delivered multiple chances to him
@Speedyvampir2 Griezmann should never touch the field. This guy can't even dribble the ball, just 1-2, and he's slow af. The second he came off, we started playing better.

Unfortunately you are 100% right It is disappointing to see Cristiano playing the whole match without doing anything, we played with 10 the whole time Even more disappointing because we had the perfect player on the bench to give us what we needed, in Jota
@@alexandrecorreia3876 I think that Martinez is scared of Ronaldo, because if he doesn't play him, Ronaldo might upset the dressing room. In the end, Portugal threw away their chances to win the match against average french and Ronaldo did not get a goal, both lost deservedly. Its just crazy how Ronaldo behaves, not defending and lingering close to the box to be served with a pass which he could convert to a goal. The cryscene from the previous match underlines the selfish nature of his intentions. Very sad for Portugal and Jota, who could have scored and gotten them into the semis.
Only 2 people cost Portugal throughout the tournament and they're Roberto Martinez for not BEING a manager and maming the tough calls and RIGHT calls. And the other is a 39yr old Manchild PAST IT GHOST of the tournament who at NO POINT acted as a CAPTAIN and a LEADER and TOOK any responsibility in saying " Look i aint giving anything, anyone else here think they can make a difference and go win us this game/Tournament " RONALDO is NOT a LEADER!!! NO responsibility!
True. Shocking man management from Martinez. Either bring him on later in the game when defenders are tired or don't take him. He's a fabulous player but he's pushing 40.
First Mistake was subbing Bruno Fernandes but that was nothing compared to letting Ghost Ronaldo play over 100 minutes when real threats up front like Jota are ready and available.
How could they exclude Jota. To be honest, if this was the plan, they should have worked with Jota, Bruno and Bernado and take off Leao. Their game lacked balance. Essentially, go left to use the flank and cross... while the right is in a huge mess. The balance was not right for the team. Ronaldo was isolated a lot. Jota could have played with him, and it would have had more movement in the box. Portugal were horrible when it came to crosses.
Really?......have you been watching this same tournament......c'omon arsenal fans never cease to amaze me.... this tournament only shows saliba is mid....have you been watching Pepe,rudiger and the likes? They look more like it
@@sholahide114ain’t no way u said Pepe played better than saliba, rudiger the guy who gets beat in the air every important match. Cmon now I’m not even an Arsenal fan but you are trippin
Mbappe is an overhyped fraudster made by the media. At least CR7 proved his worth and accomplished a lot during his younger days. Mbappe has been substantially exposed after the World Cup in Qatar. Since then he has been underperforming on all big ocassions. He can not be the leading superstar of next generation. Anyway his overall game is not complete and lacks in many aspects.
@@jenni431bro I’ve been saying this, he needs to wins right now because he doesn’t have the playmaking abilities of a messi or to drop deep and conduct play I don’t think he’ll last deep in his 30s.

You have it wrong Frank! There is no reasoning with Ronaldo. He's an arrogant brat who will make a gigantic tantrum if they tell him he will be dropped. He's impossible to deal with.
Ronaldo would have been better come off the bench because it is hard to adapt to his movement in a competition when he has lost his pace from the other guys.
At least that would have made the decision easier for the coach (Martinez). He then knows he can't invite him. Ronaldo cannot invite himself to team or include himself in the squad, can he?
Ronaldo’s biggest achievement is getting compared to Messi. He should be happy about that since the media always hype this so called rivalry when in reality people who watch both of them will know Messi is always better
2 years from now , then same problem will happen , Ronaldo will refuse to retire and whoever the coach will be , he will be compelled to play him because of the fans and the media pressure , Ronaldo needs to retire and call it a career international, because anyone arguing that he is not a liability is either a fan boy or too emotionally invested in Ronaldo's career to admitt it .
@RobertoPerolero i know, but he's wanted for questioning and I think under FIFA he has some kind of protection since he was charged with anything yet .
I thought this is his last euros. He's retiring already. He's past his prime just like barcelona is already done and dusted yet still trying to comeback from 9 years ucl drought
It's abvious It's his last Euro he'll be 43 years for the next one , we're talking about the next WC and Barcelona? What has that do.with any of this , go to sleep kid or better cry yourself to sleep your ghodt Hero is going home
Ronaldo’s Accomplishments in 2024 🥳: Two HATTRICK™ (against logoless clubs) Celebrating like he won the World Cup (he will never) 1 Assist in the EUROS (a own goal) 1 Yellow Card 🟨 Crying in 2 MATCHES 😭 DIVES several times 🐬 9-0 against the best team in the world 🇱🇺 Plays victim 🎀🎀 Ghosts against Al-Hilal (their owners) Getting owned by GK’s 🧤🧤 Getting eliminated in the AFC Champion Leagues by Al Ain 39 year old child 🐪🐪🐪
Diogo Jota not getting a single min in this game is criminal , he is a lethal finisher who can get a goal from nothing a tight game like this suits him perfectly especially in the extra time when legs got tired he could’ve gotten something
Roberto Martinez have to be the most useless and incompetent manager of all times, sacrificing an entire nation for a selfish, arrogant and greedy 39 year old who would have been nowhere near this Portuguese team, but he will start and end games in the field running like a crazy chicken. Ronaldo held this team like I have never seen before. Hopefully he will retire after this tournament.
You do realize Ronaldo is wrongfully accused here. Martinez was awful They had no balance. He basically used the left flank to go wide and cross, and the right side had a lot of mess going on. The balance was off. In 5 games, we didn't even get a proper cross in the box.
Roberto Martinez did well for playing Ronaldo every game. Now they can’t blame him for benching him like they did in the World Cup Now they will understand the guy is simply done and dusted
Ronaldo is an average striker now. Portugal's problem is all their strikers are average at best. They are overrated in attack. Portugal's true strength is their defense. So they default to choosing their talisman at striker.
I disagree. I think martinez was the problem. The system was so stupid and they lacked balance. The left flank was basically where you go wide and cross, and the right flank was a mess throughout. Taking off Bruno was a stupid change as well today.
@@LeoAngelG10 It is obvious that at 39, you won't get much movement from him. Ronaldo is still a legend and great, but to isolate him really rendered him ineffective. With a better balance, Ronaldo would have been more effective personally. Portugal felt too stretched.
@@JayJay-kb4dq In the end, they decided to work with Ronaldo, and they actually did well. Their game plan sucked from the get go, and they never attempted to adjust it. If they insisted on playing Ronaldo, he needed to have a better supporting cast like Bruno, Bernado, Jota. The wing play and poor crosses rendered Ronaldo ineffective. Maybe then he should come off, if you don't alter.
ramos was on the bench for majority of the season at PSG. I dont think he is good enough to replace cr7. Diogo jota is an amazing finisher but not sure what his fitness is like.
France at the EUROs so far: 3 goals 2 of them were own goals, 1 was a penalty and they recently beat Portugal on penalties and have made the semifinals without scoring an actual goal from open play. This is a damning statistic considering the plethora of attacking talent that they have at their disposal. At the end of the day, they won’t care because they’re doing their job which is to win games and that’s all that matters even though the performance wasn’t pretty and they haven’t been scoring enough goals. A key factor in their success has been the solidarity of their defense as they haven’t conceded a goal from open play and being robust at the back makes them a difficult team to break down and that alone has masked up their lack of goals going forward. Under Deschamps, they don’t always play some of the most attractive attacking football as he’s pragmatic and takes a cautious approach to the game and at times they don’t play well, regardless of that they always find a way to do well in major tournaments and he has them on the brink of another final even though they haven’t scored an actual goal. They didn’t even have to be the best team. In these sort of games they’re comfortably in sitting back and letting the other team have the ball and this is how they’ll probably play against Spain. Going into the semifinals, many people think that Spain are going to beat them easily and they’re being treated as underdogs since they’re going up against the best team of the tournament and they have been a far better side than them, France are a team who has a lot of quality as you can’t write them off and they have a brilliant defense and their luck will eventually run out if they don’t start scoring goals as playing like this can work even though it won’t always be sustained for them, I wouldn’t if they knock them out.
Portugal got what they deserved. Martinez couldn’t show some backbone and remove Ronaldo. The worst player on the pitch. Imagine Jota on the bench wondering what can he do to get a look. He’s Portugals best goal scorer!
I don't get what would've been so wrong with bringing Ronaldo on later in the game. Playing a 40 year old for 120 minutes is ridiculous no matter who it is.
When Martinez took over Portugal , i knew Portugal won’t go very far. He did the same to the golden boys of Belgium . He had so many talents in the squad but chose to start CR 7 every game.. France didn’t deserve it but they manage to survive
@@souldoc70 don't be stupid bcoz u do not like Ronaldo analys the game not a person it just shows how much you worry about Ronaldo to do gud..now u happy bcoz u want him to do bad..no more Ronaldo in national team..u can keep quiet let the guy rest in peace..u are so evil people out there just wishing him to fail..he got nothing to prove anymore he done everything in ths soccer even your child will need to follow him if he wants to success in life..soccer..boxing..rugby..study hard..anything u want he's gud example bt u talk nonsense..haters

Cr7 in euros/world cup knockout matches- 21 Goals - 3 Assist -2 player of the tournament -0 Messi copa/wc knockout stats Matches - 29 Goals- 10 Assist - 18 Player of the tournament-4
This is what happens when you put a player above the squad. Portugal's former coach was literally crucified because he dropped Ronaldo against Morocco. Now the god of football has spoken.Ronaldo played all the minutes, no excuses now. Or is it the coach's fault again??? Respect still for CR7!!
That's why ronaldo was making those faces .he knew he was done they finaly left him in and he did nothing .in fact he was hiding in the touch line not trying to help mdifield.if anything u can blame the game loss on ronald9
Actually when u play Ronaldo you need to cross a ball to him. The gen z wingers had so much possession but would fake a cross then pull back, or pass back, or hold ball turn and lose ball. They couldn't even get 1 good corner in. So you can't blame ronaldo if no one can put the ball in the box. Felix headed open chance in side netting. Other players just wasted final passes. Yes ronaldo missed a chance but u gotta give at least 2 or 3 good passes to your main striker
Ronaldo is a finisher , he can't run that much in a game because of his age but he's lethal when given chances . If you had seen the match the crosses for ronaldo were nowhere near good
People don't understand France's style. Under Deschamps we've NEVER been a "beautiful game" style of team. He has always prioritized defense and break out runs. The difference is that our offense can't seem to score right now, but our defense is SOLID. Classic Deschamps 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Need exactly like Conte and considering they both played together in a super successful Juventus team of shows they are just replicating how they played and not adapting to be tactics! Just like Southgate, England are a team version of how he was as a player!
Dawg, I'm actively rooting for my Milan boys to do well, but CMON. They've been unbearable to watch. They cant even hold the ball and having to watch thuram rabiot and kante makes me contemplate cannon balling with a hairdryer
Portugal played 120 min with a zombie 🧟♂️ striker . Coming from an other 120 min game?? Why wasn't he crying tonight? Was it because he scored the penalty and he did what he was supposed to do?
Its time Ronaldo did the right thing now and retire from international football. He is holding back so many talented players in that squad but unfortunately Martinez is forced to play him because of financial reasons as opposed to practical ones. Ronaldo will always be remembered as one of the greatest in football history but he was downright terrible and i was watching him throughout this tournanment and it really highlights how he is now embaressing himself and hurting his own brand by making it all about himself.
I disagree, he played decent in my opinion and he is just one player.. the coach can sub other players for all those talented players you speak of.. Don't get me wrong, he played Ronaldo far too much, but I don't think he's bothering any talents.. that's on the coach.
He has said it that he wants to play 250 games for Portugal. So if he wants to do that he will play until 43 years of age, and will also play 90 minutes of each game in WC26 for Portugal.
Unfortunately, Joao Felix missed that penalty kick because he was psychologically out of the match. He hasn't featured more in the tournament when he should have. It's not his fault.
Not really an excuse..or an explanation...Dybala scored for Argentina at WC yet played for only about 15mins ..maybe it's down to luck but still as a top player he should do better
@@ga_thu4 Dybala wasn't angry, instead, he was committed as he knew he couldn't just play because he wasn't better than anyone that has played but Joao knew he was better than those that featured yet he wasn't selected. So, he was out of the match before coming on. Two contrasting scenarios.
@@trademark23 mate he played every minute 0 goals .every game at 39 . obviously he is all powerful and cannot be subbed off. jota and Ramos sitting on the bench . Come on .
France doesn’t need many chances to put the ball in the back of the net. Other teams could dominate time of position, have superb ball control, score a goal and still lose to France. It’s going to take everything they have and more to beat France. People have to realize France is about winning, not playing for entertainment.
France hasn't scored from open play in 480 minutes of playing, while creating plenty of (half) chances. See the game against the Dutch (which they should have lost). See the game today. So your statement they don't need many chances to score is absolute nonsense. 😊
Portugal won't be stronger in the WC because Ronaldo will still play the tournament. Portugal needs a clean up in the Federation, new administration, new coach and no Ronaldo, basically a new era. As a portuguese it saddens me to say this but Ronaldo should have the decency to leave the national team by himself, he is destroying his whole legacy like this, most people i know can't even stand the dude anymore, he needs to understand his time is over, and it's ok he is 39.
At least he got the one assist! But I hear you man, I’ve been a CR7 fan since the first time I woke up early to watch ManU play with my dad back in 2005 but this Euros made it painfully clear.. he just can’t keep up at this level anymore
I'm a neutral.I don't hate any footballer just want to see a good game.I think CR7 knows himself he is not as good as he was but for Martinez not to take him off against France was a big mistake and cost Portugal the game IMO.
No one should try to blame Felix for the loss. No one seems to talk about the best Portuguese chance that was put over the crossbar by the guy who should shoulder most of the blame together with the guy who kept on insisting on taking all the free kicks not forgetting the coach who allowed to be in the team in the first place.😊
With the same logic Mbappe shouldn't have never been on the team either cause he hasn't done anything either lol, even Ronaldo has more goal contributions than Mbappe from open play. Do you realize you're talking about the highest international goalscorer of all time like that lol
@@rashidkhalid3970 Ronaldo turns 40 in seven months and Mbappe literally prime age. Doesn't matter if he's in the starting eleven he is the greatest international goalscorer of all time he deserves to play no matter the age, some respect on the GOAT and I dont wanna hear no Messi fanboys they are both the greatest ever, aight?
This Portugal squad is one of the best in the tournament having world class players in almost every position with the exception of 1 player. We all know who he is. Ronaldo lost this tournament for Portugal by himself. 3.47 xG, 0 goals, easily the worst player of this EURO
Ronaldo is so finished for Portugal. This coach but also this set up and tactics they used to set up Portugal is all the same as it always was, it's all about Ronaldo and that he has to play, the other players need find him and the team is held back time and time again. Just a reminder for everyone who hyped Ronaldo all year long and hyped Portugal because they wanted Ronaldo to win. Since the end of the 2022 world cup Ronaldo only played against 1 team inside the top 10 of the FIFA ranking (France) and drew the game and lost on penalties, in his qualifying for this Euro's they played only countries outside the TOP 50 of the FIFA ranking. they had a friendly vs Sweden, didn't score (27 on FIFA ranking). Croatia, he didn't play and lost. And in the group stage he played Georgia, Turkey and I don't even know, in the round of 16 he was again not doing anything except wasting free kicks. It's time we tell the truth, he is finished, it's time that this coach is fired and they use different tactics, wave Ronaldo a goodbye, give him a farewell he deserves for scoring 130 goals against the like of Lithuania, Cyprus, Faroe Island, Liechtenstein, Luxoumbourgh and all these small countries. and than try to build a team who has legs to press, a team with different tactics that doesn't involve Ronaldo. He is not on Messi's footballing level it's just simple as that. He never will carry any of his teams he is the one who needs to be carried to trophies.
Yall don't understand, Deschamps finished football and got bored, he is now accomplishing side quests. Right now he is on a challenge run of winning euros without scoring during open play. Then he is gonna upload some crazy video titled "WINNING THE EUROS BUT I CAN'T SCORE ANY GOAL"
Bro wait he needs euro and ucl as a manager although he won all those as a player.He will win this euro and coach real madrid after carlo retires to win ucl
Penaldo is the definition of an international flop. 5 G/A in 21 KO-stage games at major tournaments, but his fangirls think he's "the GOAT" because he got bailed out by Eder once.
The football got ruined the moment the players understood that they don't really need to commit and take chances, just to wait for a mistake and pass to goalkeeper when you have no idea. Pass, pass, no pressing, no creativity, no risk.

Why does didier always preferring Someone else over Camavinga. That du is versatile and he knows how to generate the pace. He should be a full time choice.
It will always be about CR7 because the pundits were only watching him. For me, Kante, Camavinga and Tchoameni where solid against Vitinha, Fernandes and Bernardo. France killed the game in the middle and left it to Rafa Leao and Mendez on the left in which they contained very well. The best chances went to France and they were very poor.
These people thought France was going to walk past Portugal but I am left with a feeling that they were simply the better team, hurt by their own manager inability of taking Ronaldo. Portuguese deserved this, simply silky beautiful touch football with them. If they had Jota o Ramos I think they’d take this, France was poor.
Portugal with Ronaldo are just EAFC rats who hold down “X” to spam crosses. The guy should have some humility and recognize that he is not helping this team anymore, unlike Pepe at 41.
Ronaldo is destroying this golden generation of Portugal 🔥 Portugal played better then France even with 10 vs 11 🔥 Ronaldo can’t dribble, can’t shoot, can’t take a freekick, can’t run….. just Nothing 🔥 Just useless and he should really retire before destroying another dream in the next Tournament! 🔥
