But I was just looking up while Critch was speaking their record over the last decade, including sort of this era of, or this generation rather of Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes.
So round of 16 at the 2018 World Cup, quarterfinals at the World Cup in Qatar, where they got knocked out by Morocco, round of 16 at this one.
And then for Euros, it was round of 16 in 2020 and 2024, they got to the quarterfinals.
They've not even reached the semifinals of any competition in the last,
10 years.
That's massively underperforming for that team that's got Fernandes, Silva, Rafael, Jacques-Felix.
And that's basically because the team is always in service to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but when I think of Bruno Fernandes at his best, it is plummeting.
playing those very slick passes between the lines, releasing Mbumo, whoever it is, those speedy attackers running past him into space.
Ronaldo, that's not Ronaldo's game anymore, but you're putting people like Rafael Leão and Pedro Neto on the bench who would maybe suit Fernandes more just because of the sort of awe and power that Ronaldo carries.
And it just means that you've gone out yet again.
So it's a very underwhelming way for Portugal to go out, but it's the least surprising way for Portugal to be eliminated.
One thing, just to play devil's advocate.
because we haven't actually spoken about the goal Mikel Mourinho scored.
And I noticed at the time, but it's very, very similar to the chance Oyazabal misses in the first half in the sense that the person playing Oyazabal and Mourinho on in both scenarios is Renato Vega, who's the left-sided centre-back.
And he's two or three yards deeper than everybody else.
So yes, don't get me wrong, there were fundamental issues going forward, but actually Spain on two separate occasions exposed a bad positioning of the centre-back and you can only give those players so many opportunities to do that.
But that's the fine margins.
Yes, everything that we said is still true, but it came down to a centre-back being out of position
A couple of times.
