Football Weekly · Croatia snicked off late on and Ronaldo finally scores knockout goal – World Cup Daily · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean, but it does work like that, doesn't it?

Sorry, how brave is it?

Four years ago, in this sale,

Portugal beat Switzerland 6-1 in the last 16 and Fernando Santos left out Ronaldo for Gonçalo Ramos who scored a hat-trick and I wrote a piece saying this is the end for Ronaldo at his national level and good riddance

Two years later in Frankfurt, after Ronaldo had missed a penalty against Slovenia and Portugal went through on penalties, I wrote the same piece.

And the great news is that Portugal-Spain game is in Dallas.

And so we get the third in the trilogy.

I've written him off in Lusail.

I've written him off in Frankfurt and I'll write him off in Dallas.

Let me just write this down.

This sounds quite useful.

And they were actually weirdly more open, more progressive than I think they usually are.

I mean, last World Cup, which felt like the dying embers of the 2018 team, they kept on sort of clinging on in games, suddenly getting an equaliser when they needed one.

When they went behind, Neymar scored that really good goal in extra time and then there was the equaliser.

It was 117th minute equaliser.

Then obviously they won on penalties because Croatia always win on penalties.

Did they beat Japan as well?

Was that in Qatar?

And I think Japan had been ahead in the game, Croatia equalised and beat them on penalties.

So the fact that they actually took the lead, I mean, that was probably their mistake.
