“Mediocre” Uruguay were on an extended winning streak & nobody would call 2-1 a “crub stomping” when Portugal dominated the possession game. Cavani scored two goals courtesy of being completely unmarked meanwhile Godin gave Pepe a free run b/c they were double marking GOATnaldo. France also had just as many shots on target as GOATnaldo when they beat Uruguay sans Cavani.
‘14-‘16 Portugal is the biggest carry job in modern Futbol history. That team wouldn’t have qualified for a tournament let alone won the Euro without GOATnaldo who brought them back from the brink of elimination by literally scoring every goal. He got them to the Finals where anything could happen & it did with Eder scoring of all people in a game where Giroud/Gignac were playing the role of match-winners.
Meanwhile, midget almost single-handily got Argentina KO’d in the group stages with one of the most pitiful performances for an “all-time great” against Croatia & missed penalty against Iceland. (Would have been KO’d if Croatia mailed in their fixture against Iceland having already qualified)
Last but not least, GOATnaldo peaked after the “Golden Generation” playing with scrubs like
Joao Moutinho
for his entire NT career meanwhile midget has always had multiple world-class teammates that guys like Aguero get benched.
(Despite that Portugal has had one of their most successful runs while midget has ZERO silverware)
