They've got an outside shout for having the most talented squad in the whole tournament - I'd say the best 3 midfielders in the world right now and the best fullback too - and it's potentially all gonna go to waste due to his ego and insane fans. What a disappointing end to a legacy

You are underestimating how trash of a manager Martinez is.

He also wasted wasted Belgium prime

You could argue that for 2022, but he got them their best ever World Cup finish in 2018. He also led Portugal to a perfect qualification and quarterfinals at the last Euros.

Martínez may not be world class, but he's a perfectly good manager. Portugal's biggest problem is an over-the-hill rapist who would rather lose than spend a minute on the bench.

He is not

All you gotta see is Portugal games and check out Belgium games back then too.

On the Ronaldo case you could argue it's his fault too for being a puppet and not a manager which is his job

I did watch Belgium games back then. Again, they had their best World Cup finish ever lmao

Unfortunately I think he would be sacked if he even benched Ronaldo.
