As a Ronaldo fan I do believe that the team is dominating and competitive without him too. At this stage he is important to the team morally more than physically. Kudos to Portugal for the amazing win and I hope to see Ronaldo bouncing back in the up coming matches
@Scott Gibson That’s what I said bro, all I’m saying is that he was essential for Portugal at some point. I said that because the other dude said Ronaldo was never good for Portugal even at his peak.
Ronaldo for Portugal this year is like Miroslav Klose for Germany in 2014. Both record-breaking legends past their prime, but still valuable assets to the team with the experience and mentality that they bring.
Is no one gonna mention João Felix’s performance?? Absolutely phenomenal every touch was beautiful to watch. This is what we’ve been waiting for all these years
he's an incredible player. he's been lighting it up in Serie A for a while now. with CR7 on his way out, i'm sure Leao will be getting more playing time with the national team going forward.
Pepe is a true warrior of a defender. To have this athleticism and dominance at age 39 speaks volumes of his class. He is part of a dying breed of defenders with his commitment and putting his body on the line. A true great!
Repent to Jesus Christ “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 NIV R
And what's crazy is back in the day he wasn't even top 5 cb in the world , that's how bad cb have fallen, we have midfielders who know how to tackle playing cb
Well we can say Portugal did horrible considering the score could have been 12-1 had Ronaldo started, the Swiss are just bad. So you’re wrong, they did need Ronaldo.
We can acknowledge the passing of the torch while still giving Ronaldo his flowers. All I know - this last 8 is going to be amazing. Every matchup this Friday and Saturday is 🔥. Pumped 💪
Out of all the teams in the knockout stage Portugal impressed me the most considering the fact that EVERYONE thought this game would be a toss up and Portugal came out and dominated
Portugal played so well. Although I’m happy they’ve won I feel very sad seeing Ronaldo declining. It’s his age. He is not ready to accept it or maybe mentally he’s still being plagued by the events that have happened recently in his life. I believe he’s gotten to an age where his body will not do what his mind and instincts say to do. Many of you out there hate him simply because he rivals messi and I really don’t care what you guys have to say because you’re not true football fans. It’s a sad reality. Our Legends have one thing they can’t beat. Time. This may be his last World Cup. Im hoping Im wrong and he’s just in a rut.
Amazing performance by Portugal- Disappointing from Switzerland- they seemed to be completely off that game from the start- like they had already achieved more than they thought they could by reaching the round of 16 and they had already gave up from the start- their minds were not there at all. As good as Portugal looked in this game- I think they haven't found a truly challenging opponent just yet- same with France. I think France will be challenged for the 1st time this tournament by England - Portugal will go out against the best defending team in the cup so far- Morocco- that will be a challenge in itself, I hope that Morocco shows a little more in the offense than they did against Spain to really see if Portugal can be considered a candidate- I just think their defense has not really be put to the test so far- Ghana challenged them a bit as did S. Korea- Portugal offense has been so good that has covered any defensive hiccups- but I really want to see if they can keep it up against a team that goes all out in offense.
I'm so happy with al Portuguese fans. . Great performance of a focus team... I'm happy with CR7 too.. putting beside any distraction and supporting his team mates...
@Richard Rabbit Straight A's but in what classes and how good is your teacher. You don't know this yet but the education you have been receiving is watered down. Does not mean you are not as smart as anyone, but rather what you are probably being taught is wrong, misleading or just not very challenging. The world is going socialist. Do you know what that is? Hint: it is not sitting around talking.
@Jose He's obviosly past his prime but you couldn't be more wrong about the Euros. That team had very little offense besides Ronaldo. The fact that Eder was the next best striker on that team should tell you all you need to know about that 2016 Portugal side. Ronaldo was the offence and that's why it took 110 minutes and a world class performance by Patricio and the defence to beat France. But now Portugal has so much youth and speed up front with players willing to move the ball its clear Ronaldo doesn't have a spot in the starting lineup. But he will be a major sub in future games, just watch.
For me, since the beginning I though that Portugal could win this whole thing. They are strong in defense, midfield and forward. Their midfield is fantastic Joao Felix, Fernandes, and my favorite guy Bernardo Sylva will make a difference against any team. Now with Ramos, they are really scary.
This has to be the event that turns the page on Ronaldo's career and that's ok. I will say I'm very proud of Pepe despite being a Barca fan myself. He still has quality.
Out of all the teams in the knockout stage Portugal impressed me the most considering the fact that EVERYONE thought this game would be a toss up and Portugal came out and dominated
From my time playing rec and club soccer, I can safely say that if the defense is really bad, anyone can score. If the defense is really good, sometimes it take a special playr to break through. Does Portugal need Ronaldo? We will see won't we, when they face a tougher defense. Wait.. Morocco is around the corner.
Honesty the Ronaldo snub was very unnecessary by the coach, but so much respect and praise for the rest of Portugal they played so brilliantly, not even rooting for them but this was definitely a great moment for them
Look at Ronaldo's face at 1:29 He looks sad instead of being happy for his team following the 1-st goal. If you had begun watching the video from 1:29, you would have thought Switzerland had scored a goal!!!!
@Leontinus How many times do I have to say that I'm not offended! Can you read! Why are you so pressed? Did my comments describe your life? Commenting and hating on others because your life sucks! Go on respond to this with another unoriginal attempt of a joke!😂
My heart goes out to all the Swiss fans. Seeing the US lose to the Netherlands the other day had me really bummed. Hate seeing good teams like Japan and Switzerland get knocked out. I'm really rooting for an underdog to take the Cup this year
Portugal played good, but let's not forget that Switzerland is not France or Brazil. Of course they will need Ronaldo in his best shape for the next games
I’m a Ronaldo fan but I gotta admit, Ronaldo is garbage he couldn’t even score against South Korea or a washed up Switzerland 🤡🤡 Mbappe is carrying France 🔥 While Penaldo is getting carried by Portugal all Penaldo has is his little Mickey Mouse penalty goal.💩💩 🤡🤮 Mbappe >>> Penaldo 🥱
Switzerland is a good team, a GGooodd team very very solid team, so I just never saw this coming. I even thought Swiss has a very good chance of winning Is this the same team that played and lost to Korea last? Really? Phenomenal performance, Wow.... This game was something.... Time for Ronaldo to retire
Portugal 🇵🇹 scored 5 goals with Cr7 on the bench and when he subs in the team scored another 1 to sealed the game on the other hand 🇨🇭 couldn't Stop ramos but they did things that other big names in soccer history couldn't make..
All the commentators predicted a 0-0 scoreless grind fest. This was absolute domination. Please please please repeat the 2016 euros , except this time on a international scale. 😍
@Alex Rahgozar you are confusing me acknowledging that the kid step up when he replaced a legend for being an Portugal fan. I was happy watching them lose. There’s no reason Cr7 should be benched in a elimination game no matter if he has issues with the coaches. Certain player you play them no matter what and deal with the issues after you win
Makes absolute sense for Portugal to invest on young players that can play throughout the years and not on a has been player that is continually showing degradation in skills and eventually have to retire in a few years.
People forget that Portugal didn't have a solid team through 4 world cups when Ronaldo played through a couple of decades. Portugal has more talent now than ever before which is great. Don't forget one man has carried a team for some time.
Goncalo Ramos can sign for any big team!!! Portugal proved that their winning the wc. 🇵🇹 well done Performance. They completely obliterated Switzerland.
Ronaldo at MU and Portugal national team remind me of myself the first days I started playing amateur soccer. I was either sitting on the bench or substituted in when the match was already set. Even when I was in the game, I was told not go back to defense, just running around to interfere the opponent. I was glad at some point I got the job done. Isn’t this what big players do? I am so proud.
You can see the lack of deep joy for Ronaldo...being a fierce competitor AND wanting to be the main reason your team wins also means it's hard to enjoy your team's success if you personally didn't have anything to do with it. Hopefully he finds joy in his country's victory even if it doesn't involve his direct contribution. This is why balance is so important...and why his 'nemesis' the GOAT is celebrated all the more because that other guy GENUINELY enjoys his team's success even if he didn't directly contribute. He celebrates every assist he ever received WITH the teammate that assisted him and he celebrates every goal together with his teammates with or without being involved in the play that led to it. #Messi #Ronaldo #DifferentMindsets #LegendaryPlayers
Potugal played completely different after losing to SK, what an adjustment by the coach. Btw Pepe's goal reminds me of puyol's goal against Germany 🇩🇪 in WC 2010. Good luck Portugal 🇵🇹 👍
they played with their B team in the SK match after securing the top spot in the group against Uruguay 4 days earlier. Portugal didn't have anything to play for in that march were as SK did.
7 goals in this game, and I swear we spent just as much time on all of them combined as we did watching Ronaldo on the bench. Pretty lame that’s where the focus is
Goncalo Ramos the future star for Portugal? Julian Alvarez the future star for Argentina? Vinicius Jr the future star for Brazil? It sure does look like it One thing for sure we gonna miss Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar
Ronaldo coming off the bench is huge cause easily he could start if he complained,but the reality is CR7 humbled himself and is thinking BIG…..watch out for 🇵🇹 Portugal.
Does Portugal need Ronaldo to win a World Cup?
DUH
Yes cuz morocco won cuz Ronaldo was on bench
No
Yes ❤️
Yea they do he is the GOAT
What a day for Goncalo Ramos. A hattrick on his first ever Portugal start. Especially in the knockout stages. That is absolutely incredible.
@David Curtis 🇦🇷🐐
@Rockstar he's at all nassr now
@Zohaib Nasir Morocco shuts us up . Upset city
Indeed and an assist!
Youth was served x 3 . Ramos was spectacular
a team that has CR7 and Leao on the bench is surely a team that can win this world cup. Incredibly talented team.
A team with Messi on the pitch won the World Cup
lol
Well this didn't age well...
@stephen wangondu if only ronaldo wasnt on the bench 😢
This didn't age well. Taken out by Morocco.
As a Ronaldo fan I do believe that the team is dominating and competitive without him too. At this stage he is important to the team morally more than physically. Kudos to Portugal for the amazing win and I hope to see Ronaldo bouncing back in the up coming matches
@Yusmar FS who's Ronaldo🤔??? JKing😏
@Scott Gibson That’s what I said bro, all I’m saying is that he was essential for Portugal at some point. I said that because the other dude said Ronaldo was never good for Portugal even at his peak.
@brian herrera That was a lifetime ago. Athletes age out, even the great ones.
@Mettamoose i don't like ronaldo, for the reason that he is credibly accused of r*pe
@Penguin R9 also had Rivaldo !
Ronaldo for Portugal this year is like Miroslav Klose for Germany in 2014. Both record-breaking legends past their prime, but still valuable assets to the team with the experience and mentality that they bring.
@Sir Rami Pendu still scored more penalties overall. Cry more
@Elias Roy None compare to Pessi who got the most penalties in World Cup history. Five penalties in seven games 😱
Difference is that Klose has a World Cup at retired meanwhile Pendu 😂
Are you calling him Old???
100%
Is no one gonna mention João Felix’s performance?? Absolutely phenomenal every touch was beautiful to watch. This is what we’ve been waiting for all these years
Everything Felix does on the pitch is world class but he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves.
Felix be giving them assists like it’s nothing
Absolutely true!! It was beautiful ❤️
He had some amazing runs super smooth with the ball and great passes 😮💨🔥
@Gabriel Ramos and Felix = dangerous duo
What a wonderful game congratulations Portugal 🇵🇹
A dominant win, and done with style by each individual. Amazing teamwork and discipline.
This team is doing us proud Força Portugal 🇵🇹
Rafael Leão, 2 goals in 62 minutes all off the bench in his first World Cup tournament in case anyone was wondering.
he's an incredible player. he's been lighting it up in Serie A for a while now. with CR7 on his way out, i'm sure Leao will be getting more playing time with the national team going forward.
Pepe is a true warrior of a defender. To have this athleticism and dominance at age 39 speaks volumes of his class. He is part of a dying breed of defenders with his commitment and putting his body on the line. A true great!
Pepe a legend

That’s the Brazilian blood in him 🇧🇷👏🏼
And what's crazy is back in the day he wasn't even top 5 cb in the world , that's how bad cb have fallen, we have midfielders who know how to tackle playing cb
body on the line? what is this the ufc. I just dont see it in that way.
Waited a long long time to see such a performance from Portugal in World Cup
Es algo histórico, Ramos
I hope to see Portugal playing like this in every game. What a game, what a great team, strategy, goals, everything ❤️
We might have just witnessed the birth of a new star.
Ramos was absolutely unbelievable!
You know Ronaldo isn't needed when two defenders score goals.
Shout out to Pepe and Guerreiro.
@SickiR Ronaldo and Messi
@SickiR you mean mbappe or neymar. Messi and CR7 are average now. Not bad tho, both still awesome players.
I like Guerreiro but he's a defender in name only. Basically a 3rd winger
Well we can say Portugal did horrible considering the score could have been 12-1 had Ronaldo started, the Swiss are just bad. So you’re wrong, they did need Ronaldo.
Dont you mean Ron-old-no!
Congrats to Portugal 👏🏽
Heart goes out to Switzerland to see them end their run in that fashion.
We can acknowledge the passing of the torch while still giving Ronaldo his flowers. All I know - this last 8 is going to be amazing. Every matchup this Friday and Saturday is 🔥. Pumped 💪
This was so beautiful and amazing and hopefully they bring it on to the finale
Congrats, Portugal! Parabéns! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
Whenever i translate i see the Brazilian flag instead of Portugal
That gaol from Rafael Leao is just like hand crafted 😢. You represented AC Milan well..👏🏾
That first goal was so powerful even slow mo cant make it look slow
Thought the goalie should have been off his line with his hands up
I CANT REMEMBER A MORE EXCITING WORLD CUP. LOVING EVERY MOMENT OF IT.
2006 was better. The ones after everyone knew who was gonna win Spain, Getmany, France. But this world cup there’s a few favorites
To me the last exciting WC was the 2006 one. Finally we have an exciting WC 2022
Lol
This is considered a blowout in soccer. Makes you wonder if Switzerland was even that good or prepared
same swiss team that beat france in euros they just got outplayed today simple. sam way germany hammered brazil in 2014
Out of all the teams in the knockout stage Portugal impressed me the most considering the fact that EVERYONE thought this game would be a toss up and Portugal came out and dominated
@Ayrton Pazsoldan I got a France and Brazil final
Then an argentina vs portugual 3rd place
Ronaldo makes such a huge impact on the pitch even if he doesn’t score.
France has been impressive too
If Portugal goes against Argentina in the final, even if Ronaldo does well or not, I would be happy.
Who’s everyone?
Portugal played so well. Although I’m happy they’ve won I feel very sad seeing Ronaldo declining. It’s his age. He is not ready to accept it or maybe mentally he’s still being plagued by the events that have happened recently in his life.

What a beatdown by Portugal! So impressive!!

I'm so happy with al Portuguese fans. . Great performance of a focus team... I'm happy with CR7 too.. putting beside any distraction and supporting his team mates...
The Swiss have been punching above their weight but against Portugal they were no match. One of the most impressive wins of this cup...
@Moparjo_ So is Portugal apparently :)

Portugal England France Brazil are stacked with young talent 😮
What a year for this World Cup
For me, since the beginning I though that Portugal could win this whole thing. They are strong in defense, midfield and forward. Their midfield is fantastic Joao Felix, Fernandes, and my favorite guy Bernardo Sylva will make a difference against any team. Now with Ramos, they are really scary.
incredible hat-trick by Ramos, what a display!
Ramos scored 3 and assisted for Portugal and for Switzerland what a player
Portugal is even a good team without Ronaldo
At least we know when Ronaldo retires they will still be consider a great team 👏
Congrats Portugal 🇵🇹 ❤️
What portugal is choke full of talent r u kidding
@Emmanuel Hernandez CR7 was a great player, was...
@Brandon Juache Argentina never have had a decent squad. Maybe just 2014 but that's it. This Argentina is pretty underwhelming
@I Squat On The Toilet And Poop Hard Like A Dog he is leaving to arabic club cuz they'll pay more ))
I've been waiting 28 years to see Portugal finally win it.
I think they can finally do it this year!
This has to be the event that turns the page on Ronaldo's career and that's ok. I will say I'm very proud of Pepe despite being a Barca fan myself. He still has quality.

Ramos is a gunslinger indeed 👏🏼 what a performance
Great match, the teams played at the highest level! I think Portugal can win this championship1
Os tugas foram muito perigosos no campo sem “O Capitão”. 😮😮
As I love Renaldo, Portugal has proven that they can win without him. ❤
Pepe not the psychopath he once was...but dude still is quality, aging like a very fine wine
That gaol from Rafael Leao is just like hand crafted 😢. You represented AC Milan well..👏🏾
that goal could never be beaten it was so inane an amazing I bet there gonna win the World Cup
@dau1024 It’s not stupid, it was funny to some of us admit it.
Leao means lion in portuguese.
Go AC Milan, he is one of my favorite although my favorite team is Real Madrid
The stupid dance ruined it though
Honesty the Ronaldo snub was very unnecessary by the coach, but so much respect and praise for the rest of Portugal they played so brilliantly, not even rooting for them but this was definitely a great moment for them
Look at Ronaldo's face at 1:29 He looks sad instead of being happy for his team following the 1-st goal. If you had begun watching the video from 1:29, you would have thought Switzerland had scored a goal!!!!
Portugal great victory, you will do good and you can make history. Good luck, love Portugal.
This was a training session for Portugal 🇵🇹
U cant help but smile when Pepe scored that header
Great finishing...goals wins matches
Imagine a team having cr7 and Raphael leao on the bench and still be so good they don’t even need them
The things I would do to be able to rest Messi in a knock out stage game and let Argentina do all the work.. would never be possible 😭
Congrats, Portugal! Parabéns! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

My heart goes out to all the Swiss fans. Seeing the US lose to the Netherlands the other day had me really bummed. Hate seeing good teams like Japan and Switzerland get knocked out. I'm really rooting for an underdog to take the Cup this year
Switzerland was a weak team. No effort whatsoever. They just laid down and let Portugal run them over.
Unbelievable what a game 🎉👍👌
Portugal played good, but let's not forget that Switzerland is not France or Brazil. Of course they will need Ronaldo in his best shape for the next games
Portuguese coach looking like a genius after starting Goncalo Ramos
They will still win without Ramos tho🤷♂️ and who say Ronaldo will not score if he start from the start since is different opponent haha
lmao
Roger Federer watching this match 😰😕
@I Squat On The Toilet And Poop Hard Like A Dog so you are a Mbappe fan?
I’m a Ronaldo fan but I gotta admit, Ronaldo is garbage he couldn’t even score against South Korea or a washed up Switzerland 🤡🤡 Mbappe is carrying France 🔥 While Penaldo is getting carried by Portugal all Penaldo has is his little Mickey Mouse penalty goal.💩💩 🤡🤮
Mbappe >>> Penaldo 🥱
Props to CR for putting Team before himself 👍👍
I can't believe they didn't show the amazing buildup of the 4th goal.
The spanish highlights on Telemundo shows it here on Clip-Share
Ironically, Ramos missed his easiest chance of the day when one v one with Sommer. His first goal was well taken though
Hat-Trick goal was beautiful
Forca Portugal 🇵🇹🔥
@@RichardRabbit.
Portugal wil beat a liones of dessert Morocco son
Switzerland is a good team, a GGooodd team very very solid team,
so I just never saw this coming. I even thought Swiss has a very good chance of winning
Is this the same team that played and lost to Korea last? Really?
Phenomenal performance, Wow.... This game was something.... Time for Ronaldo to retire
Portugal 🇵🇹 scored 5 goals with Cr7 on the bench and when he subs in the team scored another 1 to sealed the game on the other hand 🇨🇭 couldn't Stop ramos but they did things that other big names in soccer history couldn't make..
Everything from that first goal screams fifa 😂 from rocket to the first post to the jumping over the corner flag celebration 💀
Star of the game was the Swiss goalkeeper ⭐️
All the commentators predicted a 0-0 scoreless grind fest. This was absolute domination. Please please please repeat the 2016 euros , except this time on a international scale. 😍
@M. deWylde thank you Einstein, we know this. Great job on your research. Can someone please get this man a certificate. 👍
A little geography for you: Europe is not a country, but a continent made of nations, therefore the Euro is an international competition. 😍
Portugoooooooooooaaaal
@MANUNTD RED DEVIL 👹 Intercontinental technically, but better off saying "global scale"
@Mikau2403 yes but not like the World Cup
Really proud of Korea for beating Portugal 2-1
Portugal is a beast!!
FORÇA PORTUGAL!!!!!!! 🇵🇹 🇵🇹
Vamos lá
Esse Google e muito estúpido
@David A because Brazilians have 215 million people. We Portuguese only have 10 million.
Odd, when I click translate to English the Portuguese flag gets corrected to Brazil flag 🤨
You know Ronaldo isn't needed when two defenders score goals.
Shout out to Pepe and Guerreiro.
Bruno Fernandes is my player of the tournament so far.
Imagine being the guy that replaced Cr7 and dropping a hat trick🔥🔥
Imagine being the guy trying to start over the goat and doing absolutely nothing in the quarter final against morocco
@Alex Rahgozar you are confusing me acknowledging that the kid step up when he replaced a legend for being an Portugal fan. I was happy watching them lose. There’s no reason Cr7 should be benched in a elimination game no matter if he has issues with the coaches. Certain player you play them no matter what and deal with the issues after you win
Who is Ramos? did he even play in the morocco game?!🤣
Lonaldo stays still getting L's lol
Casual
So many hot goals from Portugal🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥They are on fire! The Swiss had no chance👎
Makes absolute sense for Portugal to invest on young players that can play throughout the years and not on a has been player that is continually showing degradation in skills and eventually have to retire in a few years.
People forget that Portugal didn't have a solid team through 4 world cups when Ronaldo played through a couple of decades. Portugal has more talent now than ever before which is great. Don't forget one man has carried a team for some time.
Goncalo Ramos can sign for any big team!!! Portugal proved that their winning the wc. 🇵🇹 well done Performance. They completely obliterated Switzerland.
Bro was really doing the griddy 4:35
Ronaldo at MU and Portugal national team remind me of myself the first days I started playing amateur soccer. I was either sitting on the bench or substituted in when the match was already set.

#Messi #Ronaldo #DifferentMindsets #LegendaryPlayers
There’s life without CR7 too much talent, gotta keep a close eye on Portugal
Potugal played completely different after losing to SK, what an adjustment by the coach. Btw Pepe's goal reminds me of puyol's goal against Germany 🇩🇪 in WC 2010. Good luck Portugal 🇵🇹 👍
they played with their B team in the SK match after securing the top spot in the group against Uruguay 4 days earlier. Portugal didn't have anything to play for in that march were as SK did.
@fairfeatherfiend Agreed!
Portugal didn’t use all their starters against South Korea
core players were not at the sk match, of course it was different.
Come on! There is no comparison. I liked Pepe's goal, an absolute hammer hit, but Puyol's goal was something else.
Portugal coach knows something that we don't. Ronaldo's replacement made coach look genius!
Pepe scores
Presenter: “THE OLD MAN GETS HIS GOAL!”
😂
Yeah Ramos hat trick is nice and all. I'm more impressed by him clearing the corner flag from a lightly jogging start
7 goals in this game, and I swear we spent just as much time on all of them combined as we did watching Ronaldo on the bench. Pretty lame that’s where the focus is
congratulations Portugal from a Dutchy! 🇳🇱 ❤🇵🇹
Goncalo Ramos the future star for Portugal?
Julian Alvarez the future star for Argentina?
Vinicius Jr the future star for Brazil?
It sure does look like it
One thing for sure we gonna
miss Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar
Ronaldo coming off the bench is huge cause easily he could start if he complained,but the reality is CR7 humbled himself and is thinking BIG…..watch out for 🇵🇹 Portugal.
Swiss goal keeper is possibly the smallest goal keeper I've ever seen in a world cup
my two cents: maybe they dont see Switzerland as a threat to them that's why they let Ronaldo be on the subs. ;)
...OUCH. 🇵🇹 absolutely overdid it. The match FELT lopsided...
So… we’ve reached the super sub Ronaldo era for the National team too? Interesting bc I’ve heard some things about how you can’t win without him
Feels like a great "passing of the torch"
Amazing performance from Portugal 🇵🇹
He is too good when he was young but now I think Portugal don’t really need him. He is old right now and also he doesn’t have power like before.
Forca Portugal 🇵🇹🔥
come bayb
It was a drive though for Portugal congrats!
Look out WC, Portugal peaking at the right time!
3:54 - when you're up 5 to 1 but still need external validation so you celly 😱
