The goat Toti Gomes back for another ride

[–] lochnah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

At least we know who is going to score the winning goal in the Euro 2024 final.

[–] KAhOot1234567@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I’m biased as a wolves fan but do you not think he deserves the call up?

[–] nfleite@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No. He's there for what position? Central defender? Dias, Pepe, Silva and Inácio. Left Back? Cancelo and Semedo are in the squad and then we have Nuno Santos and Mario Rui who deserved to be called up (at least now that we're already qualified).

[–] JordeyShore@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Semedo is more of a right back

[–] PM_ME_BAKAYOKO_PICS@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I don't think he offers anything different to the squad, and he isn't better than our current players who are ahead of him (which is why he's usually left out for the actual game squad).

Someone like Nuno Santos would at least be valuable if Martinez wanted to try something different, like an offensive LWB

But personally I don't care as much, he's 100% gone once Nuno Mendes is fit

[–] joaommx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No one knows, Toti might as well be a unicorn. He's been in every call up for quite a while now but he never plays. We aren't even sure he really exists.

[–] tomasboss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Still no leftback, I'm sure this won't backfire on us at the Euros...

[–] RasputinsRustyShovel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] nfleite@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Or Mario Rui. He's back from injury.

[–] andriushkatwo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cancelo, maybe?

[–] Strananach@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is Mendes still injured?

[–] Shutyerpieole@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] tomasboss@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He should have been left, back in Wolverhampton yes.

[–] AdFinal1856@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

someone tell roberto that toti gomes isn’t either francesco totti or nuno gomes, please

[–] Brave-Salamander-339@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Selena Gomes?

[–] RasputinsRustyShovel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Torn tbh. Happy for Joao but the possibility of him getting injured is fucking terrifying

[–] Chiswell123@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Happy for Nunes. I hope he can get some minutes.

[–] SalvioN21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro really dropped Danilo for Pepe instead of Toti Gomes, I can't

Individual talent wise Portugal might be the 2nd best behind France at the moment

[–] ComplexLivid7798@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

First, when you factor in that France has nearly 7x the population of Portugal.

[–] CPRIANO@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I think it’s hard to make a top 3 by order but I definitely think France, Portugal and England are in the Top 3 of the best national teams in terms of individual quality and obviously they are are the favorites going into the Euros.

But this means very little of course, nations like Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Croatia can definitely show up and take spotlight when the competition starts

[–] Brave-Salamander-339@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

talent wise

*talent unwise

[–] ComplexLivid7798@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I strongly believe that Portugal produces the best talent per capita in the world right now. Yeah France this and Brasil that, but look at the populations of those countries. I’m so deeply proud of players we have produced.

[–] ProfessionalAd1638@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Meu amigo, nós temos um buraco nas laterais, o Royal é provavelmente o menos pior. Acho que Portugal está bem perto do Brasil em produção de talentos.

[–] Pleasant-Direction-4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s that time of the year again when cr7 scores hattricks

[–] Wonderful_Ad4897@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Give the GOAT a debut against Liechtenstein

[–] GarrKelvinSama@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Better than England.

[–] modrics_hairband@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cant wait to go thru another game thread of constant ronaldo abuse by benfica and porto flairs

[–] ReformedandSocial@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Squad with the most overrated players. They are diving straight out the Euros.
