Feel like ever since Ronaldo moved to Saudi and with the hype around Messi, we have forgotten about Ronaldo (though I’m not surprised). He has been doing real good with Al Nassr this season and is in great form, but because he no longer plays in Europe, will he even have a good Euro Tournament next year? The competition in Saudi Arabia is no where near what is in Europe, but then again its Ronaldo.

    Hard to say really. The standard of the Saudi league is very low and the amount invested into Al Nassr apart from Ronaldo has really given him a team where he put up the numbers he is putting on. Not many people want to hear this but his performance in Saudi is no where near a good metric to judge how he will do with Portugal at the Euros.

    There is other factors at play here and we can’t down play them. Heading into last WC, Portugal had one of the most talented teams, perhaps only Brazil and France ahead of them. They were far more talented than Argentina per position, yet didn’t have anywhere the cohesion nor the mental fortitude to over come adversity the same way Argentina did.

    So, here we are having another conversation about how well they will do, not knowing for sure how they will perform at the Euros. Personally, Portugal won’t win because I think there is significant gap between France England compared to the rest of the competition.
