Ronaldo. He should have taken his place on the bench without making a big deal out of it and let the team play. But of course, he always wants to be the centre of attention.
Imagine if Leao as big as he is was in the box instead of him, that will give more physicality and presence for the team to unbalance the highly disciplined Moroccan defence.
Instead, Leao was moved to the wings to accommodate him while Silva who should have moved higher up as you wanted remained as a deep playmaker.
Also, one must give kudos to Morocco for that highly disciplined display against a much better team. They never allowed Portugal get I their rhythm for 90mins.
But Pendu had no business coming into this match if not for sentiments

Leao is not a striker now. He's a winger. Didn't leao score against Switzerland? What happened against Morocco?

You can't keep Ronaldo on the bench. The coach even brought him in earlier than I expected to perform magic. Ronaldo scored against Morocco at 2018 World cup..

You should blame the younger players who couldn't step up or change tactics against Morocco.

I wish the coach started leao sef with his darting runs.

This loss is not on Ronaldo.

Agbegbaorogboye:
The team carried him then. That's why he was able to become highest goal scorer and win the tournament despite scoring only one goal in the KO rounds.
That's too show you he's been benefiting from his teammates all this while and shouting Siuuu as if he did it all by himself.
Ronaldo is retiring after moving to Saudi.

No player does it alone. He was also the highest assister for Portugal too... so he also tried his best to carry his team too. Thank God for a loyal team mate like Eder to crown his efforts.

Ronaldo has earned the bragging right

Agbegbaorogboye:
Well... No one said Figo can play with 10 woods.
And he never won any trophy with Figo, Pauletta and Almeida so with your logic, we can blame him for that golden generation not registering a trophy for Portugal right?

Lol.... he played semi finals with them at 2006.

He already won 2 trophies, with him a major contributor and captain, with most of the generation.

World Cup is the only elusive trophy now.

Agbegbaorogboye:
The bolded is a big lie. Maybe at man u, but at real Madrid, Ronaldo does most of his playing in the box or close to the box. He hardly ever plays from midfield. That's a fact. In fact, he is higher up the pitch than even benzema sometimes.
It's you Ronaldo fans that said he can win trophies with eleven woods. Why are you now looking for woods to blame?
Ronaldo is far below par in terms of picking out spaces and outrunning the opponent.
His contribution is worse than that of Silva. Silva is being played as a deep lying playmaker beside Ruben Neves. While João Felix and Bruno play far higher up. That's why you don't see him playing like at man city while he either plays an 8 or 11.
The dynamics are different. It's not the player's fault

So whose fault is it then? Remember Ronaldo was on the bench most times?

Agbegbaorogboye:
So how did he save Santos' job with only one goal in the KO round and not playing anything significant in the final match. If Eder had not scored that goal, Ronaldo will probably still be without an international trophy to his name.

UNL is not FIFA recognised. It is being played on the dates allocated on FIFA calendar for friendlies.

Same as Pessi,that didn't do anything at the COPA final but still took all the glory even after Commebol organised the tournament every 2 years.. lol...

Ronaldo was Portugal highest goal scorer and assisted at the tournament. We don't care about this though, we prefer trophy over goals

Well Ronaldo is gonna be with the squad at2026 world cup though...

popizaino:
Louis Van Gaal will make this current English players more formidable.

Fernando Santos is way better

Agbegbaorogboye:
Who is debating 2006 with you? Was the coach in charge in 2006?
The 2016 Euro cup, Ronaldo did not score in the KO rounds and he didn't play for more than 20 mins in the final. So how did he make the coach.
UNL is not a FIFA recognised tournament. Only Euro cup is recognized.
It's not about Messi. I'm only debunking your ridiculous claim that Ronaldo made the coach. Ronaldo should be grateful to the coach instead!

He scored against Wales at the semi finals with Nani.

In the quarter finals, he scored his PK against Poland.

Of course no player, makes a coach. All players should be grateful to coaches, however a player can sometimes save a coach's job.

Finally, who told you UNL is not aFifa recognised tournament lol.... Pessi fans though...

Agbegbaorogboye:
Lol. For where? In this tournament or somewhere else?
Ronaldo is the one crying. They're not. Oh and you his fans too

Yeah. This is Ronaldo last world cup. And he loves his country.

Ronaldo is Portugal all time goals and assists. When he was younger, he assisted the likes of Figo, Pauleta, Almeida etc, so the new young players should do that too...not listening to Pessi Fans media lies.

Faithti:
Why aren't you guys talking about your legend

Pessi has not won World Cup yet

popizaino:
Southgate should resign and England should go for Louis van Gaal.

Another loser is Van Gaal, rather

Fernando Santos is good for England

Dirtyyansh:
Aside Chelsea, which top will parade bums like Lakaka & Aubemeyang as CF?

Or Ferran Torres

Corrosiveman:
Messi has a World cup medal...
That's an edge over Ronaldo

World cup medal ke . .

Funny clowns

Agbegbaorogboye:
Lol. Is that all he came to do?
Be a threat
Why then are you complaining
Portugal won the match through the threats now
In case you didn't watch the match, it's obvious Rinaldo's teammates are not thinking of him anymore when they're with the ball.
Dalot, Bruno and Leao made deliveries into the box without targeting Ronaldo.
That is why he's not scoring like before
He's teammates not longer work for him to take all the glory

Ronaldo still has more assists than all of them combined.

Since they do not want to work for Ronaldo, shey dey worked for themselves.?

Agbegbaorogboye:
Capping nonsense.
The only international trophy Ronaldo has was won without him on the pitch and he didn't score a goal in the KO rounds.
The coach made Rinaldo's international career and not the other way

Ronaldo scored at knockout round for euro 2006 and UNL 2019... its only finals he didn't score. Even Pessi didn't score at the makeshift copa America finals too

Anal55:
Because of giroud nobody is missing big Benz this guy is a legend

But then say any league wey Pep dey, the country must always win the world cup because he dey change their style of play... so England wetin

eph12:
What saka did now is what I was hoping anybody in Portugal should do. Just try to beat a couple of players and draw the foul in the box

Leao could have done it, but Santos had other ideas

So Man UTD lost to Real Betis again.

What's happening??

Please let Bruno come back fast o

This France is trouble Mhen

MALIGNANTGuest:
My FRIEND HISTORY remembers all on that table. Please use your phone and check, you'll see for yourself. The only difference is prioritization.
PENALDO can never be on that table

Lol... once Pessi doesn't win this world cup like 2014....

Nothing like 2nd or 3rd....

This France Ehn.... Will they now win the world cup back to back now...

MALIGNANTGuest:
He never brought home a WORLD CUP BRONZE MEDAL not to talk of SILVER and trophy at last.
That should be the starting point.

He has only taken home Captainship Flag of Portugal showing he captained them at the world cup.

You have started with your bronze and silver useless medals to compensate incase Pessi doesn't win the world cup again abi?

History only notes and remembers world cup winners.. nothing like 2nd or 3rd...

Almiron:
Mumu Pendu fans dey yarn rubbish yesterday say Morocco go collect 4 goals, team wey never concede so far in this tournament, na only own goal don enter Bono's net, if to say dem get sense ni dem no suppose waste 6 goals against the Swiss, now dem no even see one

That team was lucky the scoreline suppose be 2/3 nil

Pendu fans, pls rant, pls cry,

Kindly....

I dey wait for you when Argentina go lose to Croatia

FirstbornWds:
You were saying?

Croatia to knock you out bro

observanc1:
And those 2 fraudsters - Bruno Fernández and Ronaldo head home with nothing.

How is Bruno a fraudster?? You mean he doesn't step up or what??

UncleHaba22:
Cristiano Ronaldo played five World Cups and didn’t score a single goal in the knock out stages. Not one. As a result he cannot be considered with the likes of Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, or even Messi.

Copied

How many times did Portugal qualify to the knockouts?

He already has an international trophy
