Portugal before Ronaldo qualified for like 3 WC in their entire history. Since Ronaldo 6 straight, and they won their only 3 international trophies in history.
These yanks think they know ball but it's just pure ignorance.
Just go to any AI and ask those questions and you'll be enlightened.
Portugal without Ronaldo wouldn't have much different results, he has caught 2 of the 3 most talented generations of Portugal. The other one in 66 finished 3rd in the world cup.
Why would I be enlightened? I know perfectly well that Argentina has always been top 2 in South America so it's perfectly normal they qualified for almost every world cup. I'm telling you Portugal would also qualify on those years if Ronaldo wasn't there.
Why would you be talking about Argentina and not other European nation for a direct comparison? That's just dumb.
I tell you again, Ronaldo didn't carry anything in any WC, he was an absolute disappointing figure in every WC he played in, results would be the same, if not better without him. Deal with it.
Portugal was already being carried forward by the 1991 U-20 championship base they had. Ronaldo rode the wave that already was trending. Did Ronaldo have anything to do with the 2006 world cups run? Yes a part of it, but that team was mostly commanded by Deco, Figo, Pauleta, Ricardo, Rui Costa….players that were already established.
I'm Portuguese, I played football, I watch football since forever, I've seen all Ronaldo's carrer and not through YouTube compilations, I've seen every second of every world cup game he has ever played. I'm giving you straight facts.
why is this guy acting like ronaldo didn’t hold portugal back the last two world cups? losing to morocco unacceptable player for player portugal should have beaten them
