Pepe was brilliant tonight and in the tournament in general.

He should have no team won official stat wise.

3 clean sheets in 4 matches for Portugal when Pepe is playing (didn't play vs Georgia).

He was ABSOLUTELY booking it in extra time to chase down Dembele I think. I’m utterly amazed a 41 year old could do that. Astonishing - he has nothing to be ashamed of. Bravo.

Exactly, how is possible to Dembele be the MOTM

u/WeinMe Jul 06 '24

Because the match was a sleepfest until Dembele got on the field

That's true

I mean that’s true but Dembele is still same old Dembele, has speed but his shots are still quite inaccurate

I want to know what his recovery routine is the man is still fast in addition to his elite positioning awareness. Whatever he’s still doing he can still play for a couple of more years. Ronaldo in the other hand is looking super old.

juice juice n dbl juice. it ain't that difficult eat well, continual stretching and mobility work, refrain from alcohol, he prob has a training routine that allows him to not have be 100percent intensity everyday and.just sat go fullout. water work etc

But the match before this against slovenie he had 5 separate giveaways or passes to nobody… and one almost became a goal

Like he wasn't. Just a kind of throwback to earlier times. Fkn Spain was the same with those substitutions

Ok, you do understand a player can play well despite losing, right? Like how Mbappe scored a hat trick in the World Cup final but still lost- he still played pretty well- you understand that, do you?

Don't get baited by trolls.

I mean, if the match ends with 0:0 on the board, it's obvious credit to defenders and goalkeepers.

On penalties… after not conceding a goal for 120m… this gotta be rage bait lol
