The man is showing pride for his country,he's not allowed to?

I really wish the Portuguese living here in Cali weren't so culturally illiterate. There's a really small non fully Americanized Portuguese community in San Jose, but other than that, I can't think of anywhere I could go to in order to celebrate. I watched the game with my dad, and now he's sleeping. Guess I'll just go get some work done

Didier Van Gaal speaks...

@GFFN:
Deschamps's admission in the pre-match presser that he hadn't prepared a gameplan to adapt to this Portugal side now makes him look foolish.

@GFFN
Deschamps: "We did not have time to prepare specifically... recuperation comes first."

How long before the Wenger to be the next France manager start

I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that your beloved German team is going to go all out to win it next year. And if they do you'll be in here making nonstop "Germany=GOAT NT" posts.

Oh no doubt. Every single German player is thinking about that Confederations Cup glory after the defeat. The German players were like "Don't be upset. We still have the Confederations Cup where we can join the giants of international football like Denmark and Mexico in winning this highly prestigious tournament" when they were comforting each other after the defeat to France.

Definitely nowhere in Cali. All the Portuguese here are too white washed. I have a coworker with the last name "Gomes" who doesn't know a single thing about Portugal. I'm assuming New Jersey is the spot since all my flights to Portugal go through there

NJ, Mass, and believe it or not there's a ton of chops here in CT

Ferg really loves CR7, man.

Real talk, after the COPA America, you probably could have found mad yambs in NOVA.

I seen too many Messi/Neymar jerseys on saturdays after Barca games on latin chicks.

I'm super not trying to get into a Messi vs Ronaldo debate - but I would have never, ever, thought Ronaldo would win a major international trophy.

In like 2009, around the champions league final, I remember saying to my boys that "Messi is going rip it up with Argentina for the next 10 years. Ronaldo doesn't and won't have that type of talent around him at Portugal, so Messi would have way more potential to be he GOAT". That's due to the fact that we (footballing fans), put way too much emphasis on international football.

And I still feel that way, I think when it comes to measuring an all-time great, international football is last on my list of credentials. These international tournaments are short, disorganized, knockout/penalty driven, and only come around every 4 years. Hypothetically speaking, if some player 5 years from now is an undisputed GOAT, but happens to be from a small and average football country, will he not be the "GOAT"?



Whatever, it's a good debate, I just never thought Ronaldo would be the one to win it.

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if Argentina win it in 2018, I'd bet on them first.

I'm kinda curious about what the Portuguese American communities on the East Coast are like. I just never explored those areas since going to actual Portugal is such an affordable flight from there anyway, so what would be the point ? I plan to make it out there eventually though next time I visit my friends in NYC.

QFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. Football is a team sport. One man can't really carry a team. You need the entire team to be organized and if everyone else is mediocre on your team attacking wise and you're the only great forward and the defense keys in on you, you can't really do much.
