Ronaldo had no problem being a sub? 👀 [FULL REACTION] | ESPN FC 

Where would this show be without Ronaldo 😂

Remember guys: if pundits at ESPN can make a living, you can achieve anything.

The hate for CR7 is so sick from these pundits. They trying their best to tear down CR7. SMH 🤦🏾‍♂️

It's not rocket science. He's known Fernando Santos since he was at Sporting and has been his national team manager for the better part of a decade. He's known ten Hag for about 5 minutes.

These guys are gonna have a heart attack if c ronaldo actually wins it

I wonder when CR7 will stop living rent free in these guys head

He’s old, is what it is. But Cr7 can be pretty effective as a sub. Sixty minutes into a deadlock, you have a person with great aerial ability and a lethal shot coming on-pretty valuable.

I'm not surprised Steve Nicol doesn't understand the difference between the situation in Portugal and ManU. It's called RESPECT. The way things were done was completely different.

Without Ronaldo, ESPN will quickly lose their relevance.

This Show is unbelievable how come the youngest guy since pele to score a Hattrick in a World cup is not getting Talked for 1 sec in his first Start replacing one of the best players of All time

Cristiano Ronaldo did thank the fans , media love to say whatever about Cristiano like it’s a fact. He wasn’t with the team for long immediately post game but he did acknowledge his following

This is what you all did to Kobe. He wasn’t passing and was selfish and was team cancer. Look at us all miss him now. Just appreciate greatness while you have it.

The difference between United and Portugal is that Ronaldo absolutely loves Portugal with no strings attached. He never truly gave a toss about United lol

"How can we attack Ronaldo based on these comments"

There is literally a clip showing ronaldo asking his teammates to come over and clap but like they weren’t studying him so he went over by himself and clapped and thank the fans then walk down the tunnel How these guys can’t do their jobs

Ronaldo is paying for your pensions at this point 🤣💀

No one seems to grasp that cr7 lost a son in the last year and the mental and emotional toll it takes on a person. For him to be professional enough to want to contribute to his team says alot about the man.

When all the media are talking about other teams tactics, only in the case of portugal are they talking about Cr7, if he'll be subbed or play in the first 11. Actually portugal have the greatest advantage where all the media is only focusing on Cr7 their tactics are not even being discussed. Whereas all the other teams tactics, strengths, weakness are all in close scrutiny. Advantage PORTUGAL, Great work by Cr7 even without playing. 👍🏻

Ten Haag disrespected Ronaldo due to lies and power play. He put him on in the 87th minute Stevie. With Santos its different, they've known each other for long and they are honest with each other

Respect to Ronaldo for feeding This panel and this channel .

how dare you think playing for his country is the same as cluble. how dare you to think subbing in the last 2mi is the same for last 20 min. how dare you think ronalso relationship with ten hag and santos is the same.

Santos is like a father figure for Cristiano (kind of like Ferguson was also), they are good friends (Santos was his coach in Sporting back when he was a boy). Santos doesn't send mixed messages to the media and try to mess up CR7 (one day, you don't play because I respect you - the next you should come and play for the last 2 minutes..stuff like that). I believe he is going to play against Marrocos, but if not and they win it will be ok. Santos said he will change the team depending on who they are going to play next, nothing to do about politics.

Another episode of the cristiano Ronaldo show, they even stalking him at his hotel holding a sign saying you suck 😂

Lets not forget in 2 days Mbappe will make the whole of England cry💀

Without Ronaldo sport media would have nothing to talk about 😂

These guys are such cartoons. Cristiano Ronaldo is literally the bread and butter of ESPN fc. They better thank him for That.

Ten Hag benching was disrespectful. Ask yourself the last time you saw a veteran player being subbed on with 3min to go in a game. That's a joke and that's why Ronaldo reacted the way he did. U can't compare that with what Fernando Santos did.

Comes down to two things. Trust and respect. He's known Santos for ages. He was also brought on in the 72nd minute and not in the 87th minute (like TenHag did).

10 minutes and 30 seconds of the ESPN crew in shock that the false narratives they’ve been spreading for months about Ronaldo have been proven wrong

They will always have a problem with Ronaldo. Ale seems to be the most jealous one.

Everyday u guy talk about Ronaldo...it's like he keep ur show going lol

The video I saw showed Ronaldo celebrating with the team. Thanking the fans. Congratulating his team mates on the field. Not sure what Ale is on about.

One game without him and suddenly they are better without him.

He probably also trusts his Portuguese teammates more than his United teammates lol

I knew what this was when I entered, I watched and listened out of respect, and now I'm pissed off that no one can seem to take an objective view. I pray to God that when anyone of you is going through your lowest moments, there isn't a running commentary of people who believe you deserve to be there.

There were plenty of times when Ronaldo was at Madrid where the team played very well while he was injured/being rested. Does that mean they were better without him? Absolutely not

This is going too far as if Portugal with Ronaldo did beat Switzerland 4-0 this year 😂. The way they continue to attack this dude is so unreasonable to some extent 😂.

Aaaaand the hate comes in from the studio. All they do is speculate, they think they know everything, even if the 1st hand source says otherwise, they will not agree.

Honestly, there is an angle that none of these guys are looking at. Yes the team looked better without Ronaldo BUT why is that? I think there is a deeper yet simpler reason. When Ronaldo is on the field, because they are so used to having one of the 2 greatest players in the world carry them they don't put out max effort. They send him lazy passes because once upon a time he'd easily retrieve them or create goals from nothing. Or they become less creative because once upon a time he'd be the playmaker plus he is the captain. The nation as a whole become so used to relying on him that when he is on the field, even when he is clearly aging, they still only put out about 70%. Been that way for the past 4-5 years. There was no excuse for not reaching the semis of the last world cup. They only put out 100% effort when he is not on the field. I don't blame Ronaldo for anything. These brothers owe him a cup. Neutrals are saying if not Brazil then Messi but I strongly disagree since Messi had better teams over the years and had a finals appearance. For me if not Brazil then Ronaldo and Portugal should win.

Alejandro Mireno speaks even the most insignificant things in a very serious manner. He loves to make things worse than it looks like.

Ale you’re wrong on saying Ronaldo walked straight to the locker room

Can't wait to hear ESPN FC talk about Holland's demolition of Argentina on Friday. Biased as always, ESPN FC

Nasty Nasty agendas are being pushed on Ronaldo smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

The difference is he respects the Portugal coach

Only difference is he knows he has a chance at winning something with Portugal.

This guy at 2:15 is making the dumbest point, man United was disrespectful. Portugal is making choices based on other circumstances

These haters are actually his biggest fanboys. They keep an eye on him even when he is on the bench. Im sure if they were cameramen, they would cover him not the match.🤣

It's really tiresome when sports shows like ESPN FC especially the likes of Stevie, Craig and Alejandro's narrative towards Ronaldo is so "gossipy" - Ronaldo for Portugal is a different man. He literally just wants to win a title, especially a World Cup. He couldn't care less if he's actually a sub. This is what these clowns of pundits don't understand, yet they keep this narrative of how Ronaldo must not like this or that, he's disfunctional and delusional, past is his best blablabla. Beating Swtizerland and doing so 6-1 was a reality check for the outside world and Portugal as a team that they are in fact dangerous and can win games without needing to suffer. They no longer need Ronaldo to be seen as some sort of savior. Kind of like how they won Euro 2016. It's a good thing Ronaldo was in fact benched and that it was a tactical decision. Ronaldo started his one game playing, one not playing since Zidane's helm at Real Madrid. He's still a key figure for Portugal even if he is a sub. Sheesh.

Before Ramos scored a hatrick in this wc, ESPN prolly scored multiple hattricks of CR7 hate videos in the last few weeks

Ronaldo living in everybody's head rent free

Of coz he is ok with it..coz the Portugal coach is not a hypocrite and treat him well Infront and behind camera...he just want respect..just like everyone else.

Media is watching everything Ronaldo does on the pitch, every expression, every body gesture...

ESPN has hit new lows . Honestly there’s better things to talk about than CR7 . It’s become obsessive and instead of reporting news , they’re now creating scenarios to keep a narrative going .

Ronaldo stories feeding ESPN and staffs

It's a shame that the media will talk ill of CR7 this way. It's seems like they are all paid to say negative things about Cr7. Besides, I am so surprised that none of these pundits are talking anything about the issues that Ronaldo raised about the Glaziers and the disrespect shown to him by Eric Ten Hag. The ESPN and the English media are wrong about cris. Please stop the hate.....it may affect English Clubs in the long run. No matter what the English press says CR7 is still the goat. I honestly can't wait for Cr7 to move to Saudi, where he can ply his trade and make more money, and gain more recognition.

When CR7 retires all of ESPN will have nothing to talk about.

CR7 been in the bench for Gonçalo Ramos or João Félix is complete diferent compared with ManUtd ex-colleagues 😂

It’s just tactics, Ronaldo is still world class but he can’t exactly sustain world class play for 90 minutes every 4 days anymore. Santos figured he’d give Ronaldo a rest and save him for the second half so he could play with full energy if Portugal needed a goal. Just so happened the team played great without him

ESPN making money out hating cr7

U gotta feed the family we understand..

Ur show won’t be famous without talking about cr7 😂

If you had so bad a career like some of these pundits, you just gon' end up bitter.

They said he refused to train with the subs? He posted today after training with the subs so what are they on?

Ronaldo is such a big part of why Portugal is where they are now. They were nothing before Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ronaldo whines the media kills him, he shows support to the team after being benched 🤣 the media still kills him, as a ronaldo hater the media is turning me into a supporter 😂 the guy is a legend on his final years of course him being bench is killing him inside

This show is really nothing without CR7

He waved the fans at one end but the media shows only when he is leaving the field

ESPN should be ECR7 by now Every time Criticizing Ronaldo all 7 days

Ronaldo could have scored a Hatrick if he could have started in that game also, it was an easy game and I'm sure he could have even scored 4 goals. and you guys are here already saying Portugal don't need Ronaldo, that's the only thing you can talk about when it comes to Ronaldo.

Listen I'm portuguese and I don't like the guy, but this and the Utd thing are pure persucution. As far as Ten Hag is concerned, Ronaldo's problem was how he made him feel unwanted and wante to sub him in with 3 minutes left. The whole of Utd unhinged fans turned on him without even considering his side. With Portugal it is very different........yes he has an oversized ego........but he CANT WIN, no matter what he does and the criticism is EQUALLY out of proportion, just because people don't like him........and haven't for years, so now they are jumping on the opportunitty to bahs him.

3:50 He was the first to go thank the supporters and was the one to call his teammates. Get your information right

FYI Steve what happened at united and what's happening in Portugal are 2 different things. CR7 was disrespected at united and he's also human. There's a difference being asked to come on at 75 mins and 88 mins (after saying you have respect for his career few days back). CR7 was disrespected as a player and a person and even though he's part of a team, he's still an alert and will definitely want the best for himself, it's not selfishness it's growth.

This game would’ve gone the same with Ronaldo, it wasn’t better because he wasn’t starting

Losing respect of a club is one thing losing the respect of your nation is a whole other thing it’s 10x worse he knows this so he comes in humility when it comes to the national team

There’s one team CR7 actually adds value to ESPN FC

Since this show started being about Ronaldo on every show the viewership and subscribers has gone sky rocketed its so funny

The difference is the guy is loved and they didn't trick him to stay about getting playing time before the world cup which is needed. And Manchester united constantly disrespected

If there comes a day when they don't speak about Ronaldo, then it would be a shock. And it's amazing to know that they aren't just pundits but mind readers as well. Didn't they see him celebrating with the players after a goal?

I have just enough of ESPN's sh*t on how they honestly just talk about Ronaldo this...Ronaldo that!!! Why not just do the weather for all I care? It really seems without Ronaldo, espn are nothing.

The dogs bark but the caravan moves on. Some people hate Ronaldo because they want to be in his position. They will never be

I’ll tell you the difference. He asked to leave ManU but wasn’t allowed and told he’d be part of the plans. We have no reason to think he’s been lied to in Portugal. It’s also his country, surprise surprise loyalty runs deeper

just cant wait to see what messi fans will say about messi at 37 close to 38

Just remember the first two games wouldn't have been won without Ronaldo. His penalty and even his hair of god goal were crucial in Portugal qualifying.

These guys trying to read Ronaldo's minds, is just mind boggling

I think Georgina didn’t get the memo on the PR direction from Ronnie 🤔, her post was a lil wierd and not really in line with what the coach and cr7 are “saying”

You don’t tell him to train with the subs he’s one of the goats. Common sense 😂

It’s a lie come on man He celebrated with the fans before leaving OMG ESPN fc 😂💔

This show really has to tear into the biggest superstar in sports just for relevance…. I wonder how many of you saw that he was first to acknowledge the fans after the game.👀…sic

To be honest portugal look stronger than ARGENTINA

It's impressive how everyone seems to take a few cut clips that have been going around as fact. Ronaldo did, in fact, celebrate with his teammates and thank the fans for their support before leaving the pitch. We get it, it's easy to get baited when you're already biased against Ronaldo. But at least do your due diligence and thoroughly research the sources you're basing your opinions on, it's unprofessional.

Imagine a media outlet causing dispute between players and teams , so pathetic, Espn with a Ronaldo headline is NOTHING!

Can you blame Ronaldo wanting to leave when he has 4000 cameras on him even when he scratches his nose

Heard them trying to put down Ronaldo after his team lost in over a dozen games when u see people fight u when u make a mistake or put in a demotivated state they bash u because they evil! !!!!

Man United were kind enough to get Ronaldo used to being a sub 🤣

ESPN DONT HATE RONALDO THEY ARE IN LOVE WITH RONALDO

ESPN talk about Ronaldo everyday before the World Cup everyday during the World Cup and they will be talking about him after the World Cup everyday

Ronaldo literally applauded the fans and then left? Why lie Ale? I know you're jealous, but stop it

No one in their right mind would be happy to be a sub. No one in their right mind would be happy to not play and sit on the bench. He however doesn’t really mind coming out as a sub, if it means that his team would win. What he actually mind was coming out as a sub in the 90th minute when you’re leading and just putting him in to fill the time. That to him is disrespectful.

If Ronaldo retires, I think most media shows would lose at least 50% of their talking point

Ever since rumors of him playing for the Saudi's the media have been bashing him, coincidence?
