⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage

[Zackgeno96]

I cannot believe that people still think that Ronaldo was mistreated after it happened with 4 different managers. He was benched back in Juventus, he was benched by whoever that interim manager was last year in United, he was benched by Erik Tan Hag, and he was benched by Portugal manager, that's four different managers that managed to bench him.

Do we really think that he is still not doing what he supposed to do and just accept the fact that he is a bench player for high level teams? He will be hard to call up for euro 2024 if you ask me, dude would be nearing 40 by that time, and you think he would be any good by that time? I highly doubt that.

I don't know about 2024. But as far as 2022-23 is concerned, he remains as the best Portuguese player (you can disagree with me). I am not denying the fact that Portugal has a bunch of younger guys looking forward to replace Ronaldo in the squad, including João Félix, Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva. But my take is that none of these players have the ability to single-handedly win the matches for their team. Ronaldo maybe out of form right now, but his class is permanent. I am sure that he will regain his form soon and make an impact during the Euro 2024.

I'm not so sure. He is a great player but younger players are coming and they will probably take up his spot soon. He is 37 now and in two years it's questionable how will he perform.

you are right that young players will replace old players, this is not Ronaldo's problem why not play maybe because his performance has decreased compared to young players, old players like Ronaldo and other old players should also be aware of that and be prepared to be replaced, as before of course ronaldo used to be a young player replacing previous players who were retired and old, so i think people need to face the reality of that even though it's bitter

Normally there would not even have been a place on the reserve bench for Ronaldo, but it is and remains Ronaldo. yet I wonder what the ultimate reason was that he was not allowed to play at the final World Cup. Would it be his age or the lack of game rhythm? He personally ensured that Portugal became European champion in 2016, which would never have been possible without his presence. But, of course, the best is finished with Ronaldo. Maybe he will get a chance in the qualifiers. The coach probably thought it was too dangerous to let him play right at the World Cup. After all, he has also made very few playing minutes at United, and that is something you need as a player to be successful. He seems to want to continue, but a World Cup in 3.5 years may be too much of a good thing.

I couldn't find anything wrong with Ronaldo in his group stage matches. But for some unknown reason, the Portuguese coach (Fernando Santos) refused to include him in the starting XI for the PQF match against Switzerland. That match turned out well for Portugal, but the same tactic didn't worked well against Morocco in their quarter-final match. I still believe that Portugal could have won the match against Morocco and set up encounter with France in the semi-final. It was a big blunder from Santos to keep Ronaldo in bench.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes, it is curious, I read that in one of the stories that I saw in a document that appears on HBO +, and the son of CR7 appeared, although lately I have seen more information about it and apparently CR7 wants to retire from football at the At the age of 40, I think that if he does it at that age, he will be able to fulfill his son, because he could already be a youth player who, if he is very good, could be considered to play with the professional, well at least I have seen that in some leagues. Maybe with the influence of CR7 they will make it a reality, you never know, I think that at 16 they could make a possible exception, I don't know how things are in the laws of football, but I see it as possible.

After the loss to Morocco during the quarter-finals, I was sad to see Ronaldo sobbing and getting emotional. By the time of the next world cup, he will be 41 years old. I don't know whether he will continue playing till then. But if he decides against retiring immediately, a lot of the fans will be overjoyed. No matter what happened during this world cup (it was the stupidity from Fernando Santos that cost Portugal the QF match), my opinion is that Ronaldo should give another try in 2026. He is still one of the top football players in the world.

I also agree with you, and in fact CR7 is not resting, he is already training in the Real Madrid field, because since he left on very good terms with Florentino Pérez, he has the right to train in the Madrid campus, I think that or these things Florentino is not like that monster as many describe him, to give one of the greatest the opportunity to train and get better every day using the facilities is something unique and I admire that CR7 can continue doing this, I think that when the "bicho "He starts training like this because he wants to shut up many mouths, and he wants to do the best he can for his next club.

Personally, I think that I should let CR7 play for Portugal and possibly take him to the next World Cup, compared to other players I know that CR7 performs, but for now I think it is because of the loss of his daughter, it is something very It is hard to lose a child, and that is why his performance has dropped significantly, but since the World Cup ended he has been training at the Real Madrid Stadium, but this means that many more and good things could happen for CR7, I think he deserves the opportunity of his life, Fernando Santos is a person who wanted to stand out and what he did was to earn a dismissal in the worst way, he disappointed an entire country, a star can never be left on the bench.

That would be a reasonable attitude but humans can be very unreasonable at times, what you are describing is just the way things work everywhere, with new generations taking over the older generations which in return they will be overtaken by newer generations as well, but this can be very difficult for some people to accept, in fact in other sports many star players retire before they are benched as their pride does not allow them to accept this new reality, so either Ronaldo accepts that being benched is now a possibility at Portugal or he retires from his national team.

Playing under the current coach is not an ideal scenario for Ronaldo. If Fernando Santos continues as the coach, then I don't think that Ronaldo should remain active in international football anymore. He humiliated and insulted him during Qatar 2022 and never faced any consequence for his actions. The reason why Portugal lost to Morocco is solely due to blunders from Santos. And despite all that, he was badmouthing Ronaldo whenever he got a chance. I understand that CR7 is keen to play along with his son in Euro 2024 and FIFA 2026, but if he continues to get insulted, then there is no point. 

[LUCKMCFLY]

Almost forgot that this is coming again in a few months. A striking group is that of the Netherlands and France. But the Netherlands will get its old coach Koeman back. And hopefully they will play better football than at the World Cup. France may not take it all that seriously, but we can only say that on Monday when it is known whether they have become world champions or not. A European Championship always lives much less than a World Cup. And 2024 that is also quite far away, of course. and in between we also get the Nations League finals in the summer.

Well this gives me a lot to think about, above all it makes me very curious that they could establish themselves with the Portuguese team, I'm anxious to know if Mou will be in the ranks of the Portuguese team, it would be the best thing they could decide, also when Fernando Santos when he arrived in Portugal received him saying goodbye to the national team thanks to the fact that he did not include CR7 in the national team, I think he deserved it very well here, it will be interesting for a good team that Mou put together if he is to be the new coach of Portugal, it would be excellent if they did in the Euro as in the Copa América, which invites countries from other confederations.



Regarding Portugal, a question arises when I read this, I hope it is not true:

Cristiano Ronaldo to retire? Portugal captain makes decision after FIFA World Cup 2022 exit: Report

Portugal faced a disappointing exit from the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, crashing to a 0-1 defeat vs Morocco in their quarter-final fixture at the Al Thumama Stadium. It was a bittersweet end for Cristiano Ronaldo, who probably featured in his last-ever World Cup. The Portugal captain was in poor form and could only muster a goal in the opener. The 37-year-old was then benched for the Round of 16 fixture vs Switzerland, with Fernando Santos preferring Goncalo Ramos as the side's solitary striker and the Benfica man went on to score a hat-trick in his World Cup debut as Portugal sealed a 6-1 win. But against Morocco, they were outplayed in all departments with Youssef En-Nesyri scoring in the 42nd-minute in a 1-0 win. Ronaldo made a substitute appearance in the second-half but failed to inspire Portugal to a comeback.

If Ronaldo wants to stop his international career, that is completely understandable. He was basically passed over at the World Cup and is no longer part of the squad. Do you still want to continue? The coach apparently only has a role for him as a substitute. Many players would settle for that, but Ronaldo is too big a name to settle for. He wants to be in the base and otherwise not play. Many teams use so-called pinchitters, which can change a game in the last minutes of the game. Understandably, Ronaldo doesn't feel like it. His choice could also have to do with the fact that he is now going to the desert to play football there. Knowing in the back of his mind that he would no longer be in the base of Portugal. He could still be of great value for the qualification for the European and World Cup.

Everyone wants him to continue for a few more years, at least until Euro 2024. But I won't be surprised if he decides to retire immediately. He is already 37 years old and although he is in good form the stress and strain of playing top quality football continuously for two decades can take its toll. And on top of that, the harsh treatment meted out to him during Qatar 2022 will always be in his mind. He has achieved most of the things he targeted. Those remaining can't be achieved even if he plays for the next few years (such as winning the world cup).

@Sithara007 he won’t retire immediately from international football, because he’ll first wait and see who the new coach is and does the new coach make him feel that he’s part of his plan’s going forward. However if the new coach too gives him the cold shoulder then he’ll have no option but to retire immediately and save his dignity, and lastly I hope that he at least gets a farewell match because he definitely deserves one.

While what happened probably bothers Ronaldo it is my impression that what really bothers him is how all of this happened, the biggest impact of a coach when it comes to soccer is on the morale of his players, and in part this help us explain why after a coach is fired a team begins to play better simply because they now have faith on the new coach, however it seems to me as if Santos never touched the topic of being benched with Ronaldo and he just did as he wished during the most important soccer tournament of the world and Ronaldo could do nothing about it.

Realistically, if the rumors are true, Ronaldo has already taken a very expensive football retirement in Saudi Arabia, and will be playing for big money in a weak and uncompetitive league.
There is absolutely no example in world football that someone who plays in such a weak league still performs for his national team.
Ronaldo was also the biggest disruptive factor at the World Cup in Qatar because much more was written about why he was not playing instead of the performances of the Portuguese national team.
For these reasons, I think that Ronaldo will no longer play for the Portuguese national team, regardless of who will be the new coach of the national team.

Fernando Santos was fired from Portugal

https://nypost.com/2022/12/15/fernando-santos-fired-by-portugal-after-ronaldo-world-cup-drama/

but the fact that the portugal coach was dismissed and put another coach who is in favor of ronaldo on the team, i doubt that that coach who was in favor of ronaldo would put ronaldo on the team and the reason is simple, ronaldo is no longer with the same physical shape he had in the past, for some unknown reason 3 months before this new manchester united coach joined, ronaldo was already deteriorating a lot in performance and when the new manchester united coach joined, ronaldo did not go to the training games and already I kept disagreeing with the training methods of the former manchester united coach

in the portugal team ronaldo once again criticized the portugal coach and as the portugal coach didn't like the criticism he put ronaldo on the bench, and with that there was a feeling of discomfort in the portugal team. the biggest of ronaldo's problems is that in addition to not being fitter, he has been criticizing the coaches and that's not a good thing because he's just a player and owes the coaches obedience

now that he has gone to play in a lower league i can't see him being at the same level to play in the portugal team knowing that in portugal in recent times there have been many new players with incredible talent, ronaldo should retire and become a coach, this could even be a good solution for him

[fennic]

Seems that Italy and England can't be separated . It will be interesting to see their games again. As I understand, draw pots were based not on FIFA rankings, but on Nation League. And it made not very ballanced groups. In some groups there is 2 big teams playing like B or C, and there is some groups without any big teams like G and I.
As I understand, Germany will play friendlies during international windows.

I was also looking that I should open this topic but this has already been written.
So I was saying that Turkey team is very very tough and there will be Hugh competition with the Turkey and Wales fights. In my opinion that Turkey might be first cause it's the best of best team in this group.
And also France, england and other such teams are also a good match for competition. Let's see what will happen in coming days. My hopes are full high with the Turkey.

They are not rumors anymore,he has signed,everyone made it public,he signed in Saudi Arabia for the signing of his life in terms of money but this does not mean that he cannot play one last Euro with the Portugal team.He will be old enough by then but I think many other talented players like Romario has played for Brazil up to a relatively old age for the national team while he continued to play in Brazil for many years even after being 40 years old.

I don't think he will be disruptive this time as he knows that he will not be the star of the Portuguese team at that age so most likely he is going to be an asset for the team if he chooses to play in this upcoming Euro cup.

[Tumanggor]

you are right that young players will replace old players, this is not Ronaldo's problem why not play maybe because his performance has decreased compared to young players, old players like Ronaldo and other old players should also be aware of that and be prepared to be replaced, as before of course ronaldo used to be a young player replacing previous players who were retired and old, so i think people need to face the reality of that even though it's bitter

I think what Santos (ex-Portugal coach) has done is very correct by backing up CR7 and prioritizing young players because of many considerations, that is football must regenerate

Until now the new Portugal coach has not been inaugurated, and rumors are circulating that the Portuguese football federation will prioritize coaches who prioritize CR7 to play! If the rumor is true I think it will be a setback for Portuguese football especially since Euro 2024 qualifiers will start

[harapan]

I don't know about 2024. But as far as 2022-23 is concerned, he remains as the best Portuguese player (you can disagree with me). I am not denying the fact that Portugal has a bunch of younger guys looking forward to replace Ronaldo in the squad, including João Félix, Rafael Leão and Bernardo Silva. But my take is that none of these players have the ability to single-handedly win the matches for their team. Ronaldo maybe out of form right now, but his class is permanent. I am sure that he will regain his form soon and make an impact during the Euro 2024.

You still see him as the 27-year-old Ronaldo. He's not that guy anymore and if you do not accept it then you only lying to yourself. What he knows how to do right now is to score goals, and even at that there are dozens of players that know how to score goals better than him. It's normal for these things to happen. Hell Be 38 this year for christ's sake. Its nature.
His refusal to accept his fact is why he sees a problem with being on the bench. Old players get relegated to the bench at that point of their career, it's not new. Ibrahimovic at AC Milan comes in from the bench and he plays his role to help the team.

If he was in a team like Man City then his pattern of play might have been utilized by Pep since he's a good goal scorer but he chose Man United instead which was the being for his problems. United does not have the team to work balls for him to score and the addition of Ten Hag makes it worst.

Ronaldo is one of the best players in his generation. There's no doubt in that. However, the problem is his attitude because he won't admit that he is too old to be the most important player in the team. I'm talking about national team and in a club. There are many younger players that can and will replace him.

People believe Ronaldo is too old, but yet he was performing at a great level until Ten Hag was appointed manager and then he started embarrassing Ronaldo and destroying his confidence, Ronaldo was United's best player last season and he scored more goals that any United player, but yet people say he is too old. Players that are as great as Ronaldo can be forgiven for having some ego or pride, they have contributed so much to football, and in my humble opinion both Ten Hag and Santos the former manager of Portugal disrespected Ronaldo so much. Do not be surprised if Ronaldo plays for Portugal in Euro 2024.

if he plays at euro 2024 it means it will be a surprise for everyone although of course his performance is not like when he was young, sometimes people start to forget football players who already look old and always admire talented young players even though ronaldo was a great player in his time young everyone used to know about him, that's why I think in Al Nasst ronaldo find the right club because it's not a matter of the club and it is appreciated but at least where those who pay more are where they will feel comfortable and valued

In the qualifying rounds, the group that will be interesting to watch is Group C among the other groups based on the draw that has been made because it contains two finalist teams last season between Italy and England.
If both of them make it through the qualifiers, then their rivalry will continue even though after the draw Italy and England will not be in the same group anymore.

I am still backing the team that made it to the World Cup finals in Qatar, France, in this tournament.

If Portugal is rumoured to be without Fernando Santos as the coach who dared to bench Ronaldo instead of playing him full time in the 2022 World Cup, we are also looking forward to Zidane accompanying Kylan Mbappe in the France team despite Deschamps' good performance as a coach.
