not the guy you replied to but he's right. poortugal was just lucky and should have dropped out on multiple occasions. they even won the final only because of a blooter against a france that was weak to begin with. not hating, but history is objective.

you dumb fuck, there are 1000000 moments when teams won a trophy when they didn't deserve it, that's how this sport works, you're supposed to score and keep the opponent from scoring instead of jerking off over americanized stats now stfu you angry salty bandwagoner.

>>76355327
people think every football game is suppose to be some episode of joga bonito. they completely neutralized rakitic and modric when they played Croatia and did the same thing in defending against France's onslaught in the first half of their game. things like that make people upset for some reason

Because "National Teams" aren't made up of actual nationals anymore and haven't been for about 25 years.

Its like you faggots didnt even watch the game. Patricio was the only reason they made it into extra time. He did more than the entire team combined, and I dont think he was even in the picture with the trophy (I dont remember if thats true though).

>>76355693
This desu. Patricio was definitely MOTM. His defending was more than on point that night

I dont disagree.

You beat every single team in the knockout stage fair and square. The problem is that you had a super easy route to get there and whether or not you should have even advanced past the group stage is questionable. That being said, i didnt support any team in the KO stage so I dont really care. You definitely should have give Patricio more credit though, he was true MOTM

>The problem is that you had a super easy route to get there
The opportunity presented itself, our NT just had to prove its worth and grab it.
Belgium, Poland, Wales, Switzerland or Croatia could have been playing France in the final, and they had teams good enough to reach that final, but for some reason they didn't. It's because we proved ourselves to be better than them when it most mattered.

You have no grounds to think that you would've beat them in a knockout stage. You have no youth history, no senior team history, and your only title is an Olympic award in the 60s. You have a team of chokers decade after decade. You weren't and still aren't likely to win anything at all. If you really thought those 3 games meant something, then you're delusional.

When Italy plays defensive football its praised and they get famous for it. When Portugal does it and have the best defence of the tournament they dont deserve it and were lucky. Why are people so butthurt?

the more i research ronaldo's career the worse it seems

because your defence wasn't even good and it was mostly luck.

imagine spending all your life thinking and being told the little autist is better. And then seeing that everything Messi can achieve, so can Ronaldo, in equal terms or better. And that the only thing neither had and that people value was a big international tournament.

imagine being told that could never happen, even though Portugal was playing well and looking unbeatable the entire tournament (was never behind for more than 20 minutes)

imagine being constantly told Trump could not possibly win. And then he does. reality is too much for their limited normalfag perspective to take. And they break.

>deciding important knockout games on penalty kicks
Has any league experimented with taking a player off every 5-10 minutes and playing sudden death? Deciding these games off a meme mini-game just seems unforgiveable. I understand you can't realistically play 11 on 11 indefinitely until someone scores because of fatigue.
