The last hurrah of Ronaldo?

I know it likely means little but Slovenia beat Portugal as recently as March

 

[Bures Elbow]

In a match Martinez played a bunch of reserves with CR7 and the turgid 3-5-2 where people were clearly uncomfortable playing out of position. Eerily similar to the Georgia fiasco last night, with the exact same result.

Slovenia has a blueprint from the Czechs/Georgians: Low block we can’t break down due to a horribly slow style lacking dynamic play and vertical intensity, which is hilarious considering our players.

Sergio Conceicao is in Germany, knock out Martinez and take over.

I think once the best players are re-inserted into the line-up and they revert back to the 4-3-3, they should breeze past Slovenia. That's likely it for them though.

What if Portugal does the reverse euro 2016 and go all the way with the hard path?

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Bench ronaldo. Start jota or ramos

 

[Blender]

I'd love to see a Slovenia upset but won't hold my breath.

 

[gary69]

Captain Ronaldo starts, pretty much their usual starting line-up.

 

[Blender]

See if we get any Sesko magic here.

 

[Blender]

Ronaldo complaining every time someone touches him.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

Portugal's been knocking on the door a few times already. Difficult to see Slovenia surviving that for 90 minutes.

 

[cgf]

CR7 wastes another good opening created for him.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Yeah Jota should've started lol.

 

[Juve]

Fallon D'Or candidate of the year. One of the best dives of the year.

 

[Evilo]

Ronaldo complaining every time someone touches him.

Would have been booked by the France/Belgium ref.

 

[ItsFineImFine]

Another awful pitch just hold the tournament in Australia next time.

It's the same one, Frankfurt

 

[Sol]

Every time Bruno Fernandes gets next to the box his brain disconnects. Same with Leao.

 

[luiginb]

Good to see Pepe's still dirty

 

[hatterson]

I don't see how that's a yellow card.

It's either a DOGSO red or no foul because of getting the ball.

 

[Juve]

Ronaldo should get more Botox. I don't think he got enough.

 

[Bounces R Way]

that guy can sure kick a ball

 

[Evilo]

Mendes with an unreal pass a little while ago. Wow.

You can't take the ball from Vitinha.

Orsato still sucks incredibly. He clearly has reffed in favor of Portugal.

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Slovenia defending well

 

[gary69]

This has been said many times before, but isn't there really anybody amongst the Portugal squad or staff who can stop Ronaldo from taking free kicks. They are always just wasted.
