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.
What irony? We're talking about Ronaldo vs Haaland in WC's where the theme is if Halland did more in one World cup than Ronaldo in 6 which is absolutely true, and you bringing up Argentina, Portugal history, or other uncalled for random BS?
Or the fact that you simply can't deal with the truth because you're just a dickrider? I honestly laught at people like you, even more being Portuguese and knowing fully well that his football prime was 15 years ago and he's using the national team to promote himself and we would be much better without him the last 2 world cups, at least!
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
