The team has hardly changed since the World Cup. 2 years ago they would've steamrolled Portugal and Danmark.
Makes no sense at all...
Actually it does; the other teams evolved and The Netherlands hasn't.

BTW, good to see the best player in the world right now silencing his haters for a while.
Looks like instead of enjoying the fact that Portugal has advanced into the quarter final thanks to two goals of CR7 (his 2nd goal was beautiful), you would have loved to have seen them eliminated. It's amazing how much do you want them to lose so that you can criticise Ronaldo even more.You can't have such a hard head to keep calling him the best player in the world after the shit performance he's putting for his country, not even after he scored 2 obviously easy opportunities. The whole of the Portuguese team is wasting goals like it's playing for a charity show. 22 shots, only 8 at goal, including 1 on 1 situations not even a junior should be missing. I believe the team can go further only if they get their shit together. The defense let the dutch shoot from mid distance as often as they wished, 1 goal and 1 ball on the post. I think we can beat CZE, but whoever comes next, I have my doubts.
You must have been watching a different match. All I could see was Portugal wasting clear opportunities to extend the lead while the Netherlands was trying its luck from mid distance smashing the post once and testing the keeper some other times. It could have easily ended 2-2 (didn't matter for the group points but it'd matter for group and supporter's morale), when it should have ended at least 4-1 if our strikers had a tiny bit of finishing flair.
Ronaldo has had 2 awful games and 1 regular one (if we count the pre-euro friendlies, he's had 4 bad games). I see no reason to throw candy at him when he's barely doing his job. If he does become the factor that tilts the balance towards Portugal in any future games I will praise him as needed. So far he has been mediocre or less. If a neutral entity would watch the euro, tabula rasa style (no knowledge of previous player achievements), I don't think they'd pick Ronaldo as "the best player in the world".
Also how threatened are you Madridistas by Messi that you have to bring him up in every discussion?
Very, because he goes out and does his job without drama, without needlessly bring attention to himself. He is just a regular guy, not a prima donna.
Yeah, I said it.
Super Mario!!
