Such an average side besides Sanchez.
I'm not talking about Jose Fonte.
And, you know, the best player on the World.

FTFYPortugal are the new Greece. Play shit football but keep onwinningadvancing somehow.
I'd be more inclined to agree with you if you were..
CR7's fall from the 'world class' category couldn't be more perfectly demonstrated than his piss poor showing tonight.
OK he scores a lot in a Real side which plays for him but he's more an exceptional athlete than real footballing super talent these days.

Lot of jealousy here.
ITV the entire game have had a love in for Portugal, really wanting them to win. Was really hoping Poland would make it through. Now I just hope Belgium batter them.
I'm not jealous at all. I just detest the guy.
Erm they have to get past Wales first which is by no means a given.
You English would do really well to learn some humility.
Reductive and facile argument indicative of a very superficial understanding of the game with no regard for the intricacies and nuances therein.He had a better than 1 goal per game ratio last season, likewise in the 5 previous. How can you claim he's now not World Class due to one poor Euro's campaign? (Where he has still scored 2 incredibly well taken goals).
Fact eh? (Is that you Rafa?) I believe you meant "the supposition is..." as I do not accept your line of reasoning as "fact", necessarily, nor would I accept its conclusion as supportive of any nebulous "world class" status. Yes, your boy scores goals, many of them. But he doesn't score those loads in big games and never has consistently. In the classicos he has stunk up the joint. In the CL finals he has stunk up the joint. In the world cup he has stunk up the joint. In the euros he has stunk up the joint.The fact is, if he had more than one decent player around him in the Portugal setup, he'd be knocking them in.

There was an analysis of his goals this year in regards to the points they won for Real and the result was negligible. He is, has been, and will continue to be a narcissistic show pony fawned over by longing fanboys disquieted by the novel feelings his mere presence on the screen arouses in them.
On the field however he will remain easily marked out of games by competent right backs save for his diving, pens, and fixtures against the respective "washington generals" of the Spanish league sent out in pro forma compliance of FIFA game regulations.
Dammit, my elaborate subterfuge has been foiled!You're in denial.
