“An exciting game to watch, but I thought the US would win. Portugal isn’t Germany or Italy; they have some stars but not enough. After their game against Germany, the pundits pointed out that Ronaldo should really appreciate how much his club teammates (all stars) contribute to his game (in comparison to his so-so performance on the national team). This game confirmed that.”
The pundits can say whatever they want. Soccer writers the world over made him the player of the year, 2nd time at least he has won that.
Real Madrid wins Champions League with Ronaldo.
Manchester United win Champions League with Ronaldo.
Manchester United hasn’t won it since without Ronaldo.
It took Real Madrid a long time to get back to win the Champions League, in fact, they won the last one and they won it in 2001 probably with the likes of the Brazilian Ronaldo or Zidane.
Explain that one then.
If Ronaldo is so brought up by his teammates performances, why aren’t Manchester United still up there?
USA definitely was the better team.
Look at it this way, we beat Ghana with a goal in the 86th minute, Portugal tied in the 95th minute. Those late goals.

Sure; why isn’t Portugal at the head of their group if “god” is on their team. In your heart you know tonight they were outplayed, and almost eliminated, by a very average US team.
You have a bias that prevents impartiality; enjoy the rest of the World Cup.
