Nani Is More Effective Than Ronaldo

no

Nani has a big role to play for Portugal but if you think Portugal are going anywhere but home without Cristiano you need to rethink your views on life.

Bit extreme lol.

I see Nani everywhere in every play in portugal game. when they need to start attack they look for nani. They pass the ball to ronaldo when he is in the box, otherwise nobody pass the ball to ronaldo as they know that he will not do anything. we see ronaldo scoring but game goes through nani

Nani had a bit of an average game v the Czechs, but he still displayed some great touches, vision and passes. Like that pass that set off Contreao or whoever to assist CR for the winning goal.

CR has been brilliant though. I still think Nani has been having a great tournament so far.

Bottom line is, Portugal are very fortunate to have Nani and CR on form right now.

Agreed, Nani has been great so far despite tonight.

akhi, you reckon Portugal can make the final...or better yet, win it?

Anything is possible. All I know is that Portugal are a really tight unit and they won't go out without a fight. Now that the have momentum they have a good chance.

Bottler and an egotist, that's what he is. wants all the glory so wanted to take the last penalty. Why on earth would you allow a defender to take one, actuall;y 2, before you do. Atleast do what Nani did and intervene and take one yourself.

he has choked in this tournament. Scored 2 goals v the worse defense Hollad has ever had at a major tournament, and another v a poor Czech team.

Completely disappeared after the 1st half tonight.

poor team or not czech republic still had to be beaten, so did the dutch, sure he didnt have a great game tonight but that doesnt mean you can take away the credit from his overall tournament..

Damn he was crap tonight..

i told you when he faces a serious team he will be usual ronaldo. no space no ronaldo

He was good in spells, but if Portugal had a competent striker, he would have done what CR did for Portugal. Name me one stand out pass he did, one assist, tracking back, work ethic. None, he just gets on the end of things and gets all the credit. The team is built around him so he benefits from it.

I'm agrieved that he didn't take a penalty tonight instead of waiting for the last one (it's arrogant to even think he will get the winning one)....atleast he could have taken one before Alves at the crucial period. It was so obvious that Alves would miss, especially after Ramos' PK must have cut his confidence up.

When he had the ball Arbeloa, Xabi and Navas/Ramos were on him. Put Pepe against Messi and he is invisible.

Messi always owned Pepe, show me any moment when Pepe got the ball from Messi.
where are you jiopsi show him messi owning pepe

Ronaldo today got his chances, 3 free-kicks (into sky), 1 missed chance (into sky)
about performance - zero. he has no creativity, was born to score only

CR7 hater logic:

If he faces a bad team and succeeds, it is because the opposing team sucked

If he faces a good team and succeeds, that team becomes a bad team, and therefore it is not impressive (Netherlands)

If CR7 had scored the game winning goal tonight:

I hate to break it to you man but the Dutch defense was not worthy of being in this tournament.

If you think the Dutch team that showed up to the Euro's was the same one in the World cup or hell even the one that qualified for this tournament then you need to watch more football.

If they were wearing other jerseys then dutch ones you would think they only got in the Euro's because they were a host country.

He won the Czech Republic game by scoring (which is all he is asked to do BTW) but there defense was the best unit of the tournament for there team not Ronaldo. They had the best defense in the whole tournament IMO but of course people want to give the credit to Ronaldo when they win. I mean they just shut out Spain for 120 minutes FFS.

How many times do you need to see him play this exact same game against Spain to realize if he's not scoring he's useless and they could play Spain 10 times and he would score maybe 2 goals.

Yea I know but it's really them keeping the ball so you don't really think about it being defense. But it's true Spain and Barca for that matter are the two most overlooked defensive teams in the history of football.

I mean they made Valdes a 4 time Zamora winner.

Yeah great jiopsi, but you didnt post most epic ownage when he owns pepe and another 4 madrid players and assist to pedro

But them keeping the ball is the best defensive tactic there is, and as you say it is often overlooked.

Parking the bus is all good and well as a defensive tactic but if you can dominate the ball then that's the greatest tactic there is full stop.
