Does anyone know why Cristiano Ronaldo started all Portugal matches while he's clearly struggling? I've heard theories about the federation making more money with sponsors if he plays, is this true? (sopuli.xyz)

Martinez

By the way, as a Belgian, sorry for Portuguese people: be ready to see him make a lot of unpopular, unreasonable decisions

Yea I’m already sick of him

We had plenty of players play 2 hours of football yesterday and he really didn’t do many subs or did them late. And what is worst is that the same happened a few days ago with the same group of players.

Unbelievable decisions

Happy cake day!

He really sucks with subs, and tends to stick with the one single tactical schema even if it keeps failing.

As an example, he kept the 3-man defense in Belgium while everyone was suggesting to try a 4-man version, especially as our defenders were our weak point.

Also, he kept starting with Hazard even when he was clearly not fit, not giving their chances to other midfielders.
