Having several former and current club captains adds a significant bonus to the makeup of this team. This is why I would count Ronaldo, Ruben, Bruno, Ruben, and Pepe as automatic starters. Being captain means that you personify or embody the fighting spirit of your club. From there, Rafael, Bernardo, Joao C, and Diogo C should and could play all minutes of every game. Then, we could have the debate over whether to start Nuno or Raphael and whether Diogo D should play on the right with Joao C on the left.

Zach provides a long "expert" opinion that is highly critical of Ronaldo after admitting that he didn't even watch the full interview.

Rooney's and Neville's words go far beyond "criticism"
-Rooney insinuated that Ronaldo (who scored 32 goals last season) is finished.
-Neville said that Ronaldo needs to leave the club.

Swap the names and imagine your ex-colleagues making these statements about YOUR career in public.

I completely understand how listening to Piers Morgan is vomit-inducing because that's exactly how I felt listening to Zach. Fake Portugal fans who have been hoping for Ronaldo to fail for years aren't worth listening to. It's been the toughest months in his life.

Great podcast , Zach basically says that Portugal has the most talented roster in the world but doubts that Fernando Santos can pull the right strings. I think it's a fair assessment on his part. It is worth noting though that Portugal are 12-1...

Great podcast , Zach basically says that Portugal has the most talented roster in the world but doubts that Fernando Santos can pull the right strings. I think it's a fair assessment on his part. It is worth noting though that Portugal are 12-1 to win it all , I think that those are the shortest odds ever for Portugal going into a World Cup. It's also remarkable when you realize that those odds are still a great value. It was suggested that the friendly could have been used to throw off the Ghana coach and I definitely believe that this is the case. I expect a few surprises in Santos' starting 11.

Pathetic clueless podcast. The usual virtue signalling herd mentality that much of the media adopts. The same old parroting of what the herd says without even doing the research. We listen to this for something different but it’s what any clueless Anglo reporter would say. May as well listen to the glazer Man Utd PR team.

Total tripe

I don‘t think we‘ll see Portugal pinning back the opponents in this WC. Even though that would be great. But after 2024 this could become true. Will depend from the coach.
