No doubt he'll blag his way to managing another top side. Guy clearly talks a good game during interviews until he eventually gets found out!

Doing a good job of ruining golden generations for a few countries, he'll probably come to England after this one to continue the trend

He's got what he deserved. Too weak to drop Ronaldo, wo has looked completely lost this tournament. Its sad to see him like this. Surely Ronaldo can see that his presence in the team is detrimental? Should have been used as a sub and nothing more. What a shame that his final Euros is one of abject failure.

Portugal should just make Ronaldo the manager and get rid of this fraud

Ronaldo’s ego won’t let him see that. It’ll be everyone else’s fault Portugal got knocked out.

I am also baffled why he took Fernandes off when he was the player trying to do something and the game looked to be heading for penalties.😂

You can see how much he’s dropped off since he left United for the desert, smashing 40 goals in against Al Kebab in front 68 people is the standard of the euros.

As for Martinez, he did jack sh!t with Everton and walked in to top jobs at international level with great players and failed.

Come on, they lost to France on penalties and probably have won this match. Not many teams do that to France.

Many players missed opportunities and only Ronaldo gets blamed. Sure he isn’t what he was and id rather he was benched but the Ronaldo hating has been out of control in the British press this tournament.

What a shame the draw fell the way it did. To have the best 4 teams meeting in the quarters today.

He’s better than Ten Hag and I’m not even kidding.

Good football, defined style of play and proper philosophy.

Ten Hag has none of those.

To be fair to Martinez he probably avoided taking on Ronny because he’d likely be the loser in that one. Better to try to make the best of it.

Yeah imagine not playing him at all and Portugal lose anyway.

"Martinez sends Portugal home by not playing star player!" Etc

I think Portugal were the better side, but they went toe to toe with France and lost by the width of a post.

By all accounts the players idolise him too, it would have caused huge disruption within the squad.

I wonded if Ronaldo will force Portugal to play him in the World Cup.

Everton’s record points total in the prem is hardly jack sh!t.

Martinez lack of basic common sense has been his own downfall in the Euros.

It has to be an impossibility to have a lack of awareness as to how poor Ronaldo is at the top level.

If they don’t bin Ronaldo now this will just carry on into the World Cup.

For a country that has produced some decent managers with a few coveted ones around at the moment, it's strange they have relied on an average Spanish guy. Portuguese FA must be as incompetent as ours.

posted on 6/7/24

Wonder why Jose hasn’t taken it yet? Maybe waiting for Ronaldo to retire

Not sure if he's been approached or not but probably still feels he is better than international level at the moment.

Martinez won the FA Cup with fecking Wigan and did a good job at Everton.

There's something stopping him being a top manager, but he is a good one.

Not bringing Jota on was ridiculous though.
