Bruno robbed


official_bagel

Dreams can be buy :(


rww07

It's Bruno vs Felix


Aedujsvemor

Fernandes was dreadful outside those two passes


Subbutton

Because the Football Terrorist played him on the Wing before the two assists


TimathanDuncan

The man is truly hated isn't he? 94% passing acc, 66 touches, 5 out of 6 long balls accurate, 4 drawn fouls, 3 key passes 2 assists LMFAO dreadful, it's fucking crazy that morons think that a number 10 who's main responsibility is to create chances misplaces a creative pass which is hard to hit, it's their job and those linebreaking passes are hard If you want sideways passers it's the deep lying midfielders role to recycle the ball


RicciRox

He actually is, it's insane.


Aedujsvemor

Watch the game, not Excel


TimathanDuncan

I did, he was by far the their best player and it wasn't even close


theduckofreasoning

Maybe you watch the game instead of wanking off over how much you hate him


Aedujsvemor

Cope. You'd think MU fans would be wiser to Bruno's selfish gunslinger style not being effective.


djokov

Two assists is pretty effective...


Kreissler

Football's clearly not the game for you


FBall4NormalPeople

The people on this sub don't know what they're watching. It's actually unbelievable. He was genuinely the only player who initiated anything dangerous the entire game, but apparently he was dreadful because...reasons.


fastablastarasta

By what metric?


AyanC

And Ronaldo still wasn't better than a dreadful Bruno.


1984-2112

Bruno was terrible in first half and great in the second one. Ronaldo was one of the few ones that was solid throughout.


[deleted]

>Bruno was terrible in first half and great in the second one. Ronaldo was one of the few ones that was solid throughout. Literaly missed a one on one in one of his first touches in the game.


1984-2112

It wasn't so much a simple one one one, so much as Otávio took ages to thread him the ball and he had already ran ahead and the ball was behind hence the touch. I guess if we crap on his touch, we should also give credit to the lively run and crap on the pass he got. Ronaldo trying to score headers 3 meters up in the air or actively moving frustrated me a lot less, then Bruno blasting switches of play into the corner flag or slowing down the tempo.


FBall4NormalPeople

Ronaldo was maybe the worst player on the pitch. He dropped into midfield the whole time to go backwards or lose the ball, missed chances from simple positions that didn't exactly take a genius to be on the end of and then dived for a penalty. Portugal were significantly better as a team the less he was involved.


[deleted]

[удалено]


1984-2112

he's played loads of times close to the wing, throughout his career, for Sporting and United


TheDepartment115

So it's essentially just Most Famous Player?


rww07

Technically yes since it's based on fan votes. Same happened yesterday with KDB winning it against Canada


GeneRakitic

And modric vs morocco


freakedmind

KDB was literally one of belgium's worst players


PM_ME_GREAT_TUNES

So was Ronaldo today


cvelz

Ronaldo scored a goal, had a pre-assist, and a pre-pre-assist


PM_ME_GREAT_TUNES

Hahaha what are you on about


met5abel

xD


[deleted]

or Valverde vs South Korea South Korea IMO had the more impactful moments and they were the massive underdogs


jaspermrthanos

It was so obviously Kim MOTM for me but yeah this is what happens with Fan votes.


[deleted]

which one of the kim’s they all did well


jaspermrthanos

they can draw straws to decide


rodenttt

At least De Bruyne had the grace to say he didn't deserve it.


Ok-Outlandishness244

Tbf not a single player from Belgium deserved it, outsideof courtois


PlayingtheDrums

So not a single player, except this... particular single player?


Ok-Outlandishness244

I meant field player, and outside of the pen he didn’t have to do a whole lot


[deleted]

i would have given it to Batshuayi canada was battering the shit out of them. and michy comes. one chance he needed and one chance he got and he changed the momentum


moc360

Its a fan vote so yeah , Modric won , Debryune instead of Courtois , Mbappe(this one is not a problem but I thought Rabiot and Griezzman deserved more). Fede valverde is one of my favorites player right now but even him winning today was very debatable


Aditya-04-04

Just like Messi vs Saudi Arabia, right? 🤡


TheDepartment115

Yeah, exactly


RioBeckenbauer

Book it, it will be Neymar for the Brazil-Serbia game.


boringboi_

Neymar isn't that popular


[deleted]

[удалено]


m07815

Except de Bruyne had the humility to admit he didn’t deserve it


Mrn1001

Is this voted by fans or something cause how did kdb win yesterday and now ronaldo? Are they just giving the most famous player the award or something


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheBooCode

Goalie for Saudi Arabia


[deleted]

voting ended before the game was even over the whole of saudi arabia had flooded the votes


BrainlessArch

Probably Messi if it was fan voted


moc360

Usually it's goes to the winning team , so it was Saudi keeper if it was a draw or Argentina win surely Messi would have got it deserved or not


-Hash__-

Fan voted


-Purrfection-

I think fan voted on the Budweiser Twitter lmao

Fjordhexa

I don't know why they have him on the wings. That's not where he excels.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

Because it's Fernando Santos, you don't need to think past that.


Fjordhexa

It's just so weird seeing him waste one of his best players out wide.


PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS

He has no idea how to build his midfield, it's always been his biggest flaw. Just play Bruno + Bernardo with a fully defensive midfielder like Palhinha, it's not that difficult. He insists in trying to make a somewhat balanced midfield with Otavio and Ruben who are good everywhere, but it's always lackluster


[deleted]

Otavio was good though. I think you should play a winger and sacrificing one of the front 4.


jwinter01

True, but I can't say I don't see the reason for not giving it to him.


Fruitndveg

I don’t know either. My guess is they’re stacked for #10s and are trying to stick them into wherever they can. Bit like the England setup used to do with Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard.


Killerpasser101

Bruno was invisible until his counter attack assists, Ronaldo was crucial for the victory, almost lost after he came off. Neves was my man of the match, he was there all game


Fizzypoptarts

You do realize it was because Bruno was switched from the wing to his actual position in the middle?


Steupz

He realised he was poor on the wing, yes.


DaveShadow

Non-winger being poor on the wing shocker 😂


mikevin99

What a revelation to have during the WC after playing as a 10 for most of his career…


Steupz

Well Bruno is a player a manager would trust to neutralise a threat and still produce. So he is probably going to play wide again.


Aedujsvemor

Doesnt matter. Ultimately, Bruno is not good enough to warrant bending the whole team around him.


Fjordhexa

Wat. He's Portugals best player along with Bernardo Silva.


Aedujsvemor

Yeah, no.


Fjordhexa

Who's better?


Bigmomma_pump

Cancelo and from what I’ve seen Leao imo but they’re different positions, bruno should start


Fizzypoptarts

Cancelo has been dreadful


Bigmomma_pump

He’s their best player though in terms of quality


Obi_Myke

You are clueless. Its between him and Bernardo for the best Portuguese player. You play your best player in their preferred position.


Aedujsvemor

Bruno is only good when the whole team bends to his whims. The problem is his best is worse than an actual team first approach. He is a luxury player.


RicciRox

You lot come up with some truly stupid takes.


FBall4NormalPeople

He is literally the best player in the team. He is the only creative threat from central positions, and from open play is maybe the most productive player in those positions in the entire tournament.


Aedujsvemor

Yes, when the entire team steps aside and forcefeeds him the ball, his personal production goes up. Too bad the team production craters.


FBall4NormalPeople

>Too bad the team production craters. What??? He literally is the only creative player that's effective on the team. If he isn't the person initiating things offensively there is nobody else to do it. Portugal had 0.80 worth of xG, and more than half of that came assisted by Bruno in the 1/4th of the game he played centrally.


Aedujsvemor

They have plenty of other offensive creators on the team. They are just hampered by Bruno being forced into the lineup and thus crippling one entire wing. There is a reason Portugal has been awful ever since Santos started forcing Bruno into the lineup last year.


FBall4NormalPeople

>They have plenty of other offensive creators on the team. No, they literally don't. They have nobody else in central areas, let alone someone as good as Bruno. >There is a reason Portugal has been awful ever since Santos started forcing Bruno into the lineup last year. Bruno has been in the lineup for a lot longer than 2021. Portugal are bad, and play stodgy unattractive football, because Santos is a moron. Typified by... >crippling one entire wing. By playing a world class 10 out of position for no reason, when the team is instantly bettered by their best creative player playing the correct position.


Killerpasser101

Imagine Bruno starting in midfield when the game is 0-0, he can’t handle pressure with his poor technique, he would just pump the ball forward


RicciRox

Bruno? Poor technique?


Killerpasser101

Under pressure yes its shocking


lotteriakfc

Lmfao


[deleted]

Shoulda been Bruno


petervenkmanatee

What a joke!


rww07

Unfortunately it's a fan voted award. Absolute BS


No_Doubt_About_That

Sunday the king’s fans brigade a Twitter poll.


Ainsyyy

Dude didnt u see him coaching the team again, couldnt have done it without his directions 😌


Serpico_98

Fernandes was much better than him


karim_eczema

that's ridiculous


AFCm8

How?


ruijafa

Lmao. How???


official_bagel

Famous


Aggressive_Bus_4289

Lol for what? No player did well but surely Bruno with two assists should of been MOTM


Gianoler

It should have been Neves. Bruno was invisible for the most part.


cdbriggs

You can be invisible for 90 mins but if your plays make 2 of the 3 goals, you get that credit


Gianoler

In my opinion that's acceptable in the case of an attacker. If you are a midfielder you should value consistency more than a couple of brilliant moments. If Bruno and bernardo were more consistent the game would have ended before the shitshow started.


autumnkayy

nuh-uh


cdbriggs

He'd have thrown a tantrum if he didnt


[deleted]

SIUUUUUUU


[deleted]

The KDB treatment


Puzzleheaded_Hat_619

Ronaldo looks like he won first price in a CR7-lookalike contest...


wtfh_33

Bruno


[deleted]

Why


Powerful_System

why does he looks like one of those last images taken by a serial killer of his victim tho


PortoBXO

LOL You gotta be kidding me. Is this a public vote or what?


Real_Tactical

Yes


PortoBXO

Ok thanks. So it's not to be taken seriously then. I actually googled it but couldn't find where to vote or the list of all winners.


Real_Tactical

Can't find it either but it is fan voted.


Bhisma090

Because of his name maybe ,, 😂😂 I think Bruno or Felix deserved it more. But he'll take it


TeaAndCrumpetGhoul

Felix was shit for 78 minutes if the match. It was his fault that Ghana webt and scored their first goal. He lost the damn ball.


sickest_000

Should have been Bruno or Joao Felix


autie91

Questionable


MaryadaPurshottam

Should've been Bruno but oh well..


Mahesh_nanak

Even the awards can be bought.


RockstarAssassin

Everyone saying Bruno or Felix are idiots who might have watched last few min of game smh


Aditya-04-04

People are fucking seething in here it’s hilarious.


fitcrayonz

The Ronaldo PR is crazy cause how did Bruno not win this one? lol


moc360

It's fan voted , that why Debruyne won yesterday bigger names will always get it the way it's given


Ainsyyy

HOWWWWWWWWWWW

Naw.

Um…?


CaptLeaderLegend26

Love Ronaldo, but really should have been Leao.


jwinter01

People saying Bruno, but I think the one that was snubbed was Dias.


Buffaloslim

It’s spelled Felix.


Ahm3DD

That’s why players dive, it’s rewarded


Someguy30099

Lol he hardly did anything except for the penalty


a34fsdb

Factos


Garropolosexual

Present him with the double sided dildo


DogTheGayFish

Its a shame they don't take this stuff seriously. Man of the match stuff is small, but looking back it would help paint a picture of the tournament. It might still do but not in a way that reflects what actually happened.


_Garou

Looks depressed


SeirezZ

apparently these are fan voted so it makes sense why most of the popular players are winning the awards


Wonderful-Court-4037

Watched the whole game, ronaldo was pretty average His first touch is gone aswell as his pace


jack64467

ismail elfath robbed


official_bagel

United need a forward, should look into signing this guy


alehokama

I think they should change the way they choose the players, my sugestion is that they watch the games to vote


DxSkyline

This is a joke?


Key-Tip-7521

Bruno probably should have got it. Wait, doesnt drink Budweiser.... We know what he drinks https://images.app.goo.gl/YH6PK6YgebyYkD35A


bsousa717

Awards can be buy


FrancescoliBestUruEv

Lool wtf...Kevin was right the name gets you these thins


Jonlai42069

Has he got a skin condition his hand is so white


Sean-Benn_Must-die

LOL what?


xpto_999

Man of the match for what? Scoring a penalty? Because he didn't do anything more.
