Heritage doesn't win you trophies, a good team does. Portugal has the most balanced team in world football now or thereabout.

I agree with this 100%.

Lmaooo

Which kind shalaye be this?
One won his country their only 2 trophies.
The other won his country a World Cup that was already won twice by same country.
Should we look at the players that both countries have produced? 😁

Does what you have written above make any sense?

What influence do Okocha, Sunday Oliseh and Kanu have on the current Super Eagles team? Do their spirit come upon our current crop when we are out on the pitch?

Brazil have won the World Cup 5 times yet the current generation can't even make the Semis...How exactly do Pele, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Garrincha, Kaka, and Ronaldinho help the current crop? Will Richardlison or Jesus play better because Brazil has produced great players in the past? You guys have hopped on this illogical defence for so long a time that you now think it makes any sense.

A fair argument will be to compare the quality of players in Argentina to that of Portugal and draw conclusions from there...Portugal has a stronger squad but I expect you to object after all you guys argued that Messi had a better team at Barcelona than Ronaldo had at Madrid at the time when Barcelona was dominating but fast forward to now, and the same folks will say Modric is better than Xavi, Casemiro is better than Busi, Benzema is better than Suarez, Casillas is better than Valdes, Ramos is better than Pique and Marcelo is better than Alba/Abidal.

Nothing is new.

All these ones don't matter.
Argentina is football heritage especially when placed side by side with Portugal.
One person is responsible for the little heritage his country has.
Another person is just part of a long heritage his country has.

They are not the same😁.

Plus do you really want us to look at the quality of players Ronaldo has played with in Portugal against that of Argentina? 😁

Englishisamust:


Without Ronaldo, Portugal will still be trophyless!!! messi without Argentina they will still be winning trophy ...

Lmao its like someone playing for Leicester and then someone playing for Manchester United.
The expectation will be the same?

Let people fear God

It's okay bro. Football heritage wins you trophies.

I wonder why heritage is not helping the current Brazilian NT or at club level, Man Utd.

He scored the goals that won them the trophy?

We are talking about the quality of players and someone is talking about Leicester City.

If Burnley signs Haaland, Mbappe, KDB, Vinicius, Rodri, Dias and co, won't they become favourites to win the league and UCL or you'll now say because they do not have 'heritage' then it'd be a shocker that they win it.

I just had a long chat with my friend (an indigenous manutd fan living in Manchester). Wow, it looks like Sir Jim Ratcliffe is not as bad as we see him after all.

According to my friend, Ratcliffe is a well respected manutd fan there in the UK. He reasons like a business man, and he doesn't joke around with his business; more like Roman abramovich the former Chelsea owner.

My friend said that Ratcliffe is not going for only 25% stake. He also wants clauses attached to any deal at Manchester United which will enable him to eventually stage a full takeover of the club.

He has a clear future goal which is to fully acquire the club from the glazers.

So, fingers crossed, we hope for a miracle that will take the entire world by surprise.

Lmao.. I'm very sure you saw the player comparison part in their national team careers.

Suddenly the heritage doesn't add context again.

So you are telling me, someone who won the epl with Leicester is the same with someone who won it with man united, Chelsea, mancity etc..

Lmaoo... Was Ronaldo in the Portugal squad in 2016 and 2018 when they won it? 😌

I'm definitely damn sure you didn't watch euro 2016.... .... From group stage to final, Ronaldo was man of the moment!!!

Portugal had a very good team in 2016 with a defence that was top quality, an above-average midfield and a top attack. From 2016 until now, Portugal has produced some of the best talents in Europe and continues to do so but somehow, we should not place any expectation on a team that has Dias and Silva (Both in integral part of City's success in the last couple of years), Leao, one of the best LWF in the world and an integral part of Milan's scudetto winning team, Mendes, Danilo, Veitinha and Ramos of PSG, Bruno Fernandes, Guerreiro of Bayern, Diogo of Porto, Paulinha etc because of heritage...

This is what you call top attack!! ... even Current Nigeria attack is better than this .. commot Ronaldo from this team!!! This team is useless like piece of shit... squad of bench warmers

liveLongNprospa:


Lmaooo so when Portugal won euros, they had quality players? 😂😂😂

Pepe, Carvalho, Moutinho, Bruno Alves, Rui Patricio, Andre Gomes (He was very good at that time that Barcelona had to sign him), Joao Mario, Nani, William Carvalho, Renato Sanches (Bayern signed him because he was just about the hottest midfield prospect then), Danilo etc.

They did not have the stand out team in the tournament but they were not short of quality in key positions either which is very vital for a title winning side.

Renato Sanchez that is not a starter in Portugal and Bayern then... ..

You even metion Danilo. Big real Madrid and man city flop . All this shalayee to be against the greatness of Ronaldo

Tell me as you were typing these names, you didn't let out a laugh or at least a tiny silent chuckle 😂😂😂.
Sanches that was inconsistent was their best midfielder.. Their best midfielder!
That summarises the squad for you.

We all watched it.
If you attempt to call danilo and cavalho quality then I'll know that this conversation is a waste of time.
Those guys were the available quality Portugal had. People that were slow, limited players in midfield.
It took an inconsistent teenager to give that midfield life. Even moutinho was absolutely ordinary.
Is it nani you want to talk about?
Infact what saved that team was Ronaldo, the GK, Fonte and Pepe both having to roll back the years.
The rest were dross who had to be there because the replacements were even more dross

But isn't it true that Pre-Ronaldo Portugal had no football heritage?

Pre Ronaldo Portugal had Luis Figo, Rui Costa and other very good players. They didn't have a good team at Ronaldo's peak. Now that he's about to retire, their team is one of the best in the world.

That's the truth.

Well said. They were unlucky against Greece in 04. The new Gen were also unlucky against Morocco in '22
