    As a portuguese, I don't think I will ever forget Figo's leadership, I don't remember many moments where he would be angry at teammates whenever we were losing, he would just be quiet, pick up the ball and do something himself for the comeback.
    I know this is about the Euros but man, I will never forget how we lost in the 2006 WC, I think we played well in the semis but that Henry penalty (dive) still haunts me. I honestly believe we could have beaten Italy in the end, oh well...

      me too buddy. Ricardo Carvalho's heel was planted on grass and his toes poking up, and henry leaned his leg on his toes and fell down. horrible. I still think about the pain from euro 2004. it still looks like the greek player blocked and held on to ricardo from stopping that goal. Portugal should have won 2004, most def had the chance to win 2006, should have won 2008 and again same story for 2020 euro and even 2022 world cup but we had such an incompetent manager in fernando santos. Now we must win 2024. just my imo

      Yes and a pure playmaker would make so many chances without actually needing to cross the ball. Through balls, stepover trickery... He had it all.... Could play on any wing too and even I think could do No10 if you asked (and if Portugal didn't have Rui Costa)

    What an idol and role model for our younger generations then..
    A general on the pitch, who could do everything, he was efficient, silent, composed, slick, tough and like a father or big brother figure for his teammates and he helped take the Portuguese team to great accomplishments.
    Portugal really looked like the Brazil of Europe at that time, "exotic", oozing with talent, flair, attractive style of play and Luis I believe held that all in balance.
    Great work on taking us back to those beautiful carefree afternoons of those summers. Well done on having an iconic career, Luis..

    Great player Figo. Ballon d'Or winner & one of the five best players across 1999-06. My personal favourite Portuguese player was Paulo Futre. Best Portuguese dribbler of a ball. Left- footed & dribbled like a European version of Diego Maradona.

    Very well spoken. I always say the 90's had better footballers than now. Very skilled with good technical ability. A lot of countries had such technically gifted players as well. Today's football is just about passing to death and running. It really annoys me. Only the Portuguese and Spanish really play exciting football now with good technical ability. There's a reason i enjoyed watching Luis Nani playing always. He reminded me of the football i saw growing up.

Now, saying that all the talented players that we produced (btw in the past there's not so many world class talents as you may think) and that we will produce in the future are at same level as Ronaldo's is just fucking insane! Figo was a top player, but he is the 3rd best portuguese player ever and that's facts! He's not at the same level as Cristiano. Not even Eusébio is at the same category. And is not just about the talent, is about consistency, mentality, titles, statistics, results, hard work, self-care, records, etc etc etc... Ronaldo is a phenomenon and a generational talent, not simply a talent that you can produce everytime you want. In 100 years you will not find a player like I guarantee you that. É triste enquanto portugueses não sabermos valorizar a grandeza e o estatuto de quem deu tanto ao nosso país...
