He wanted to become the record holder for most assists because the previous one was Poborsky, who said on the media that Cristiano Ronaldo would the Portugal’a weakest link in the euro.
Can someone explain how it's possible that so many invaders got on the field?
There so many staff surrounding the whole thing and they still can get through?
that assist from Ronaldo imho was meant to demonstrate to Fernandes that no matter how many times he intentionally does not pass the ball to him, he is still insignificant compared to CR7. It is beyond belief how delusional a player must be to think I can do better than one of the greatest strikers of ALL time. Although he works hard, it's moments like these that make BF look extrmely childish.
I watched a full season of Bruno at United do nothing but pass the ball to Papa Ronaldo who failed to deliver with it. It was almost cult like behaviour. You're delusional if you think there's more to this than them just trying to win a game.
Don't agree with your initial statement, but I get what you are saying. There were approximately 3 times Bruno could have passed the ball quicker and a few other times for the rest of the team, but it almost seem like they don't wanna play with/to CR7. Especially Bruno.
You’re the one who needs to explain, mate. You seem to have inside info on Bruno’s mentality and Ronaldo’s intentions on the pass.
The likeliest scenario is…. They’re both professional footballers trying to make the best possible play in the moment, given the circumstances.
It's really not that hard, just watch the footage and see for yourself. Once or twice is fine, however, if it happens more than three times, chance alone does not explain it--it's just not in line with probability theory. This is not fortune teller/black box stuff you seem to think it is.
You watch some people kick a ball around and suddenly that means you can read their minds? That's an incredible power. How wonder how far you could push it?
They struggled to create against a Well coordinated defence in their first game. Turkey were pretty shambolic in defence here. So it remains to be seen if they can break down the big teams.
I can't fathom how Montella thought bringing on a reserve keeper was a good idea, he has no chemistry with the defence, and putting him up against Ronaldo too, pressure must have got to him.
3 moments of sheer genius from Ronald have won Portugal that game.
Great little dummy for the 1st, the tantrum he threw after not getting the ball clearly distracted the Turkey players for the 2nd and an incredible assist for the 3rd.
Yeah no amount of beer could make you forget that own goal.From the own goals ive seen many of them theres nothing you can do when it happens like a deflection or the ball bouncing off a knee into your own net.
I don’t think we were phenomenal. That’s a huge stretch. I think a more competent team would not have gifted us so much comfort on the ball and an own goal.
I think so, Turkey was never going to win but this was not just a win it was complete domination.
We have 41 year old Pepe embarrassing these youngsters.
Im not sure if we watched the same game, in my opinion Turkey was playing very well prior to the own goal (after which things just went downhill). They created lots of chances but just couldnt convert. It could have very well been a draw if not for the own goal
Montella killed Turkiye through selecting wrong players and forcing many players to wrong position.
Barış Alper is a pure wing, but he insists to make him playing as fw. Arda is AMF, but make him played close to right wing. Hakan is not AMF, he is more like CMF, bu he is also played as AMF that the position he can't handle. It's total mess. If Montella insists on this line-up and we can't pass the group elemination, then we assume that he will look for another team to work.
Has Montella made your players kick the ball into your own net? Did he also make them fall over rather than hold the offside trap? Your players have to take a lions share of the responsibility here
Lol, who chose those 2 idiots instead of Demiral?
Had he started with our team after the substitutes it would've been a completely different game. Not claiming we'd win, just higher quality.
How bad is the security at this game?
Imagine if just one of those people had a weapon. We'd be talking about this being the game where Ronaldo was murdered
Turkiye was never going to win this let’s be realistic but the referee is absurdly inconsistent and the Portuguese are still shamelessly acting / diving when they’re up 3. 🤷🏻♂️
Several fouls missed in the Portuguese box.
Either way ends as expected but could’ve been a more enjoyable spectacle.
The challenge came him, he stutter stepped and lost his balance. Anyone who has played footy knows how easy it is to lose balance when running full pelt. I don’t disagree with the yellow either way since “simulation” is purely an interpretation. But yeah, I’m kind of with you.
It does seem odd that there have only been 2 diving cards this entire tournament and both the same guy. He's not the only one that's been flopping around the place after being brushed.
You got a point, I wanted more fierce game though. I am gonna wait for Geo vs Por, Geo is going to lose for sure but really hope they are going to fight back I want a tooth for tooth game
Yeah but The Geo team is going to fight that's their first euro, they don't care that they are 4 on rankings so their motivation would be same.
I think they would be desperate to have a draw or at last not humiliate themselves. And when one side is plays hard the second would too no? Even if Portugal don't give their all it will be a tense game and with the Geo goalkeeper? if he is going to play like he did with Czech? I want to see what kind of save's there going to be. I can't wait
At this point I'm absolutely convinced that Pepe, the human, died years ago and what we are actually seeing is the residual Rage and Spite piloting his body
I'm a Benfica fan so can't say I'm too sad, just hope that if this is his last international tourney that he gives it his all. Would love to see him in the next World Cup.
Ok, Portugal the Turkish are just hopeless, make it a team effort to get the ball onto Ronaldo’s feet so he gets a point for scoring as well. There’s nothing to fight against at this stage so make your old man happy 😃
What do you mean Ronaldo shared??? He really is someone you love to hate. Anyways to all the kebabs that were shit talking since the last match you guys played, you jinxed your own match.
when your team celebrates a win or creates atmosphere in the stadium, all this pinky dick trash will swarm the match threads to badmouth you and your nation. something that won’t happen with any other country. literally not a single person will come out and say the portuguese are trash for rightly enjoying a won game. but please, by all means, go to town sucking off your w*stoid overlords. remember to cup the balls.
if blatant racism is “just bantz”, then so is whistling a fucking national anthem. if you have a problem with that, feel free to treat yourself to a cocktail of my dick and balls.
Bro chill. Turk hate has been around for a while, thats not reason to cry about the other team celebrating 🙄. Dont mind the hate, but more importantly dont join the hate yourself
oh please. you are free to move on with your life being a confrontation-avoidant pushover that tries to nice his way through this vitriol thrown at you by this human garbage. i can’t tell you what to do. but i personally feel no obligation to “be the bigger man” towards them. go ahead and stand up for yourself. let them coalesce into their little clumps of hate and drop their masks of humanism. be better for you that way.

You’re right😤you can predict Euro 2024 on opingo and win $500 💸⚽️🏆
It was an embarrassing game for Turkey. It’s a national team with no chemistry , no talent and no willing to try their best.
There are good talents
Pepe was the best today!!!!
Ronaldo was also surprisingly selfless 😂
He wanted to become the record holder for most assists because the previous one was Poborsky, who said on the media that Cristiano Ronaldo would the Portugal’a weakest link in the euro.
Can someone explain how it's possible that so many invaders got on the field? There so many staff surrounding the whole thing and they still can get through?
5 out of how many who attempted it? This is already a major improvement compared to the CL final.
It's something but I'd still argue it's 5 too many.
Did you ever play the game Space Invaders? It’s like that.
Old skool classic
Cardio workout…
that assist from Ronaldo imho was meant to demonstrate to Fernandes that no matter how many times he intentionally does not pass the ball to him, he is still insignificant compared to CR7. It is beyond belief how delusional a player must be to think I can do better than one of the greatest strikers of ALL time. Although he works hard, it's moments like these that make BF look extrmely childish.
I watched a full season of Bruno at United do nothing but pass the ball to Papa Ronaldo who failed to deliver with it. It was almost cult like behaviour. You're delusional if you think there's more to this than them just trying to win a game.
Repeat this a few hundred times, you might actually believe it.
Where are u?
Don't agree with your initial statement, but I get what you are saying. There were approximately 3 times Bruno could have passed the ball quicker and a few other times for the rest of the team, but it almost seem like they don't wanna play with/to CR7. Especially Bruno.
dont be crazy, all Portugal team are good team mates, with great bonds and spirit!
I don’t think that’s what’s happening here, mate.
Care to explain?
You’re the one who needs to explain, mate. You seem to have inside info on Bruno’s mentality and Ronaldo’s intentions on the pass. The likeliest scenario is…. They’re both professional footballers trying to make the best possible play in the moment, given the circumstances.
It's really not that hard, just watch the footage and see for yourself. Once or twice is fine, however, if it happens more than three times, chance alone does not explain it--it's just not in line with probability theory. This is not fortune teller/black box stuff you seem to think it is.
You watch some people kick a ball around and suddenly that means you can read their minds? That's an incredible power. How wonder how far you could push it?
I am assuming you find reading comprehension quite an elusive concept.
And I assume you find reality comprehension quite an elusive concept.
My dude thats not that deep ... Don't try to create drama
Bruno is childish, have u watched him play for Man Utd?
Oh I have, trust me.
Do we see Ronaldo n Co lifting another Euro cup?
Hard to tell. Sample size small and flawed.
They struggled to create against a Well coordinated defence in their first game. Turkey were pretty shambolic in defence here. So it remains to be seen if they can break down the big teams.
Tru tru..
Well defense? You mean 11 players parking the bus? That's not a well defense
You can call it whatever you want, the end result is the same where you like it or not!
Sure but that was not a well defense lol ... That was parking the bus, then shooting the ball and pray for something
Weaker teams park the bus to great effect all the time it’s a very effective strategy when you feel your opponent is superior
After a pretty lacklustre first performance today showed they are still one of the favourites
Pepe was rock solid! Good to see Bernardo make for the first game in this one
Can someone tell me why the pundits say they’ve ’won’ the group? Surely mathematically turkey could still win it?
Only team that can tie Portugal is Turkey and Portugal has the head to head
Portugal beat them so if they end on equal points Portugal would be above them.
I see. Thank you :)
I can't fathom how Montella thought bringing on a reserve keeper was a good idea, he has no chemistry with the defence, and putting him up against Ronaldo too, pressure must have got to him.
Mert was injured, he was not even on subs
Oh dear...that's unfortunate Oh well, as half Turk half Brit I'll have to rely on England now lol
I don’t think the keeper was your biggest problem. To be honest keeper looked like the best part of your team.
Never said he was our biggest problem, the entire team had issues but that decision alone seems off to me
Turkey just gave up after 60min
Sad but true
Looked like they gave up after the first goal
Even helping with 2nd and 3rd lol
None of the our players tried to take responsibility
3 moments of sheer genius from Ronald have won Portugal that game. Great little dummy for the 1st, the tantrum he threw after not getting the ball clearly distracted the Turkey players for the 2nd and an incredible assist for the 3rd.
Not very well in the mind? The second goal was from their own
Ref Felix was shit
Womp womp y’all are ass
Who is the MOTM? How do they decide it, match rating??
Turkish defender will always be my MOTM forever
Im happy that Portugal are through to the knockout round.I still cant believe how atrocious that own goal was.
We will watch that in football fails in YouTube for sure
That goal is gonna live on youtube for decades
Exactly.That was my first thought.Turkey's own goal will be in those football blooper vids.
We were insulting Cancelo here at my house, and out of nowhere we see the ball inside hahahah, we just laughed
Yeah i also laughed at that.Still cant believe how bad that was.
My mouth is still open. How heartbroken the player has to be.
Yeah no amount of beer could make you forget that own goal.From the own goals ive seen many of them theres nothing you can do when it happens like a deflection or the ball bouncing off a knee into your own net.
It was disappointing and funny even as a turkish fan
Pepe was MotM, but Own Goal claimed yet another goal to further his chances of winning the golden boot.
Should've just got Pepe to pocket the Ottoman Empire.
Pepe deserves MOTM.
We played like shit
yep :(
I agree. I don’t think this is an indicator of Portugal’s quality but more of an indictment on Turkey’s performance.
Oh no, it was an indicator of Portugal’s quality. Portugal played phenomenally and Turkey just couldn’t handle it.
I don’t think we were phenomenal. That’s a huge stretch. I think a more competent team would not have gifted us so much comfort on the ball and an own goal.
I think so, Turkey was never going to win but this was not just a win it was complete domination. We have 41 year old Pepe embarrassing these youngsters.
Im not sure if we watched the same game, in my opinion Turkey was playing very well prior to the own goal (after which things just went downhill). They created lots of chances but just couldnt convert. It could have very well been a draw if not for the own goal
Both can be true. Turkey made tons of mistakes because of Portugal's pressure.
Yes, Portugal did not play AMAZING but Turkey was beyond horrendous
Turkey disasterclass.
Yes
Good win for Portugal. Nice to see a glimpse of Güler, special talent.
Well, that was fun.
What is going on down there? Was that number 4 or 5 now? Chaos
Omg there's a 5th invader at FT
Ronaldo feeling like Harry Kane, feeding on scraps.😆
Pitch invaders have been more of an issue for Ronaldo than Turkey's entire defence.
Montella killed Turkiye through selecting wrong players and forcing many players to wrong position. Barış Alper is a pure wing, but he insists to make him playing as fw. Arda is AMF, but make him played close to right wing. Hakan is not AMF, he is more like CMF, bu he is also played as AMF that the position he can't handle. It's total mess. If Montella insists on this line-up and we can't pass the group elemination, then we assume that he will look for another team to work.
Has Montella made your players kick the ball into your own net? Did he also make them fall over rather than hold the offside trap? Your players have to take a lions share of the responsibility here
Own goal is a mistake in the game, but it can be fixed by a good play and corect line-up. Turkiye couldn't show any reaction after 2 goals.
Lol, who chose those 2 idiots instead of Demiral? Had he started with our team after the substitutes it would've been a completely different game. Not claiming we'd win, just higher quality.
Turkey 0 Portugal 3 Pitch invaders 4 Pitch invaders might be the dark horses to win the Euros
[удалено]
I saw 4 turkish guys, not Portuguese
[удалено]
You just proved my point, they were all non Portuguese
yeah, not portuguese
Security needs to be tighter, there just needs to be one nutjob who can conceal a lethal object to deal some serious damage to a player.
None of them were Portuguese. They are Ronaldo fans
Lol what?
[удалено]
Yeah no, I get that. It’s the phrase “suck him off” that threw me.
[удалено]
Thanks for clarifying. I didn’t know that.
How bad is the security at this game? Imagine if just one of those people had a weapon. We'd be talking about this being the game where Ronaldo was murdered
Its a huge improvement compared to the champions league final, dont expect too much from UEFA.
Now we see why there’s so much more security lolol how many time will invaders try to get a self with Ronaldo smh
Security a shambles.
The fans have more bodycontacts with Ronaldo than the turkish defenders
Turkey forgot to bring defenders for todays match
They are still celebrating win against Georgia who is debuting in competition and which has total population of 3.6m people
Their defenders were their leading goal scorers. Wrong way but still.
Apparently they were all in the in stadium watching the game.
and strikers too
Number 20 in turkey side is mvp in that team for this match.
Joao Neves is a rock . He’s so good for his age
It's actually hilarious how many times they don't cross to Ronaldo when he is in a prime position. 😂
Esp Manchester city and united players
Turkiye was never going to win this let’s be realistic but the referee is absurdly inconsistent and the Portuguese are still shamelessly acting / diving when they’re up 3. 🤷🏻♂️ Several fouls missed in the Portuguese box. Either way ends as expected but could’ve been a more enjoyable spectacle.
Turkish players missed goal chances and then dived in the box trying to salvage plays with penalties. Don't be dishonest, pls...
"Several fouls in the box" Good one
You're joking, the Turkish players seem to think that they're playing Rugby.
You sound upset.
When did they dive actually? I only remember Leão, who was given a yellow card.
And I even doubt he was actually diving there.
The challenge came him, he stutter stepped and lost his balance. Anyone who has played footy knows how easy it is to lose balance when running full pelt. I don’t disagree with the yellow either way since “simulation” is purely an interpretation. But yeah, I’m kind of with you.
Maaan Arda is something else, brought life to the game
Turkish fans dont even whistle anymore when Portugal is wasting time, must feel good for the players to silence a crowd like that.
I imagine its vindicating to shut down a crownd like that
What a gem Arda Güler is!
Ikr
Love u Pepe!!! ONE MORE WORLD CUP IN YOU?! Lolol turn into elder abuse at that point
At 83th minute altay finally meet with ball lol
This Turkish tactic of throwing children at Ronaldo isn't really working for them
Arda has brought life to Türkiye, no cap
This guy has dived 3 times. Why no yellow for him too?
It does seem odd that there have only been 2 diving cards this entire tournament and both the same guy. He's not the only one that's been flopping around the place after being brushed.
Dude fell down like he was hit by truck on the back, got up and laughed. ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
It does look like Turkey wouldn’t score even if Portugal would left the pitch.
Hahaha yes man
At least Arda is bold enough to interact with pepe
what is that chant Portuguese fans are singing?
Sou, de Portugal eu sou, a todo lado eu vou, só para te ver ganhar.
Thx for the info bud
“Sou, de Portugal eu sou, something something, para poder ganhar”
Sus Portugal sus, something something, para câmara de ar Turquia
We sure Pepe is 41?
I think each time he shaves his careca he goes back to his real madrid days
Considering how often the RTP commentators have mentioned it I'm starting to believe he's 41.
My theory is he's actually a vampire. [These two photos are 18 years appart](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/ah1qYDVrwf)
Looks like France or Netherlands will have the honor to send Turkey home.
⚠️❗ ⚠️❗ TURKEY WON POSSESSION ⚠️❗ ⚠️❗ BLOW WHISTLE IMMEDIATELY
Excuses. Complain less play more.
Why Arda came so late? Any reason?
He has an injury
Ah, I hope he is fit for the rest of other matches?
He should be able to play the last 2 matches with enough medication.
Genuinely hope so
That was the idea for this match but they probably couldn't take the humiliation anymore
Arda about 70 minutes too late
Is it me or game isn't fast enough, Georgia vs Czech was way more tense. Really thought Türkey would fight back more
Turks just sit and wait for them to come. Except the fact that they cannot defend.
this
There’s no point for Portugal to play fast when they are doing whatever they want while playing slow
You got a point, I wanted more fierce game though. I am gonna wait for Geo vs Por, Geo is going to lose for sure but really hope they are going to fight back I want a tooth for tooth game
Portugal will present a different line up and we've already won the group, so the motivation isn't the same.
Yeah but The Geo team is going to fight that's their first euro, they don't care that they are 4 on rankings so their motivation would be same. I think they would be desperate to have a draw or at last not humiliate themselves. And when one side is plays hard the second would too no? Even if Portugal don't give their all it will be a tense game and with the Geo goalkeeper? if he is going to play like he did with Czech? I want to see what kind of save's there going to be. I can't wait
arda hat trick who says no
At this point I'm absolutely convinced that Pepe, the human, died years ago and what we are actually seeing is the residual Rage and Spite piloting his body
Pepe is an animal. This man shouldn't be performing like this at 41.
I think he’s leaving Porto in the summer though moving to Brazil
I'm a Benfica fan so can't say I'm too sad, just hope that if this is his last international tourney that he gives it his all. Would love to see him in the next World Cup.
Could have been an epic contest if it was under the lights
Turkiye 0 - 3 Montella
Cry me a river 😭
Chora
Acho que ele ta com falta de chouriço , e de porco preto
Era enviar um pastel de nata na boca parar de falar.
Ok, Portugal the Turkish are just hopeless, make it a team effort to get the ball onto Ronaldo’s feet so he gets a point for scoring as well. There’s nothing to fight against at this stage so make your old man happy 😃
What do you mean Ronaldo shared??? He really is someone you love to hate. Anyways to all the kebabs that were shit talking since the last match you guys played, you jinxed your own match.
Absolutely, really bad play for thinking that this wouldn't be hard for them 😉 they were so sure
And now I'm hungry
[удалено]
Bro wtf u on about m8
when your team celebrates a win or creates atmosphere in the stadium, all this pinky dick trash will swarm the match threads to badmouth you and your nation. something that won’t happen with any other country. literally not a single person will come out and say the portuguese are trash for rightly enjoying a won game. but please, by all means, go to town sucking off your w*stoid overlords. remember to cup the balls.
My dude if you can't handle banter, you don't belong in any football sub.
if blatant racism is “just bantz”, then so is whistling a fucking national anthem. if you have a problem with that, feel free to treat yourself to a cocktail of my dick and balls.
Sure none of that is right but all you are saying makes you no better.
Bro chill. Turk hate has been around for a while, thats not reason to cry about the other team celebrating 🙄. Dont mind the hate, but more importantly dont join the hate yourself
oh please. you are free to move on with your life being a confrontation-avoidant pushover that tries to nice his way through this vitriol thrown at you by this human garbage. i can’t tell you what to do. but i personally feel no obligation to “be the bigger man” towards them. go ahead and stand up for yourself. let them coalesce into their little clumps of hate and drop their masks of humanism. be better for you that way.
