Fifa World Cup 2026

If they start Ronaldo they have no shot, off the bench he can make an impact for 30 minutes but don't think they are brave enough to make that call.

Yeah he seemed to run as fast as possible but still looked slow off the mark

He shouldn't be playing at all imo. He's fit yes, but he's 'slow', doesn't press, and his finishing has regressed massively. Not sure what impact he'd have coming off the bench unless its a low block side or something like that.

Agreed he has also not been playing in a top league and is 41, only his fans boys thought he would impress.

Agreed does genrally get in good positions and can score from a set piece or corner. Would only bring him on near the end if Portugal needed a goal or if the score was 0-0 and you try to get a late winner.
 
Apparently the Portuguese coach used to coach Belgium's 'greatest generation' (some who are still in this year's WC squad). Belgium won nothing under his tenure so make of that what you will.
