So you're holding on to that one Euro win huh? Got it. He's played for the National Team for years and they suck. That was my entire point yet you took that single Euro win as your hill to plant your flag on. Good on ya.
You claimed in this thread you "unloaded" on a team that's 25-1 and you admit they aren't great. So what you're saying is you're flushing money down the fucking toilet huh? Unless "unloaded" means you lost $5 haha.
Holding on to the EURO win? The European Championship is one of the most, if not the most difficult, soccer titles to claim. Prior to Portugal’s 2016 victory the title had been claimed by Spain 3, Germany 3, France 2 and 1 each from Italy, Dutch, Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Denmark and Greece.
Portugal certainly hasn’t been considered a power like some other European nations or SA nations, so the EURO win is a remarkable accomplishment. He was also instrumental in bringing them to another EURO final, semi-final and quarter-final before winning it. He’s certainly carried the team at times, but they’ve typically had a pretty formidable squad, but nothing like the elite powers. Portugal hasn’t had the same success in the WC, but they did finish fourth and make a QF during Ronaldo’s tenure before crashing out in the group stage in 2014.
To suggest they are trash is pure ignorance.

indeed
to add, Portugal is a country of just 11 million or so. Relatively tiny. In its history, not surprisingly, they have NEVER won anything, World Cup/Euro.-- until Ronaldo came along. Soccer is the consummate team sport. One player can't carry a team, like a Lebron James in basketball. Ronaldo is as close to a Lebron as one can get in soccer
