This podcast has been the real highlight of Euros 👍🏼
Listening to a bunch of yes men pick their noses, yeah, top-class punditry. There's no banter. They have 0 chemistry, Gary constantly picks his nose, Alan is constantly swearing. Micah is constantly fake laughing. It's like being in a mental asylum! Their "discussions" are so surface-level and pointless
@@gollumeihave you no sense of humour? Their banter is great
@@liamiliffe7153 They literally have no chemistry. I loose IQ listening to their surface-level "discussions" for 3 minutes. Michah fake laughing all the time, Shearer constantly swearing, Lineker picking his nose - truly unbearable.
Not hard to be fair. This Euro is a disaster
Aye great crack. Seeing them pissed makes it even funnier.
"Roy Keane's following me" - he says, with Roy literally looking over his right shoulder from the bookshelf 🤣
haha
How did your sharp eyes see that.... 😂😂
I was just write the same 👍
As a new consumer of the podcast, the thing that stands out to me, quite apart from the insightful analysis and discussions, is that everyone is very respectful of each other, and there's virtually no over-talking of people trying to impose themselves on the discussion. It's a very refreshing experience.
You can tell they're actually really good mates
Thanks ChatGPT
The seniors talk over Micah quite a bit. Frustrating to see
Yeah agree 💯 this is highlight of my day podcast wise
Lineker's performance has been shit.
The chemistry of this trio is excellent.
Micah flew back to get a trim 🧔♀
He's only just flown his barber out for a trim. Probably went back for some quality time with the missus
He must have done the hairline himself
g a f
hes always single. doesnt believe in marriage lol. @@richardclarke9966
@@richardclarke9966 said in the podcast he's gone back to see his son for a few days
On the Ronaldo topic, I think a big part of his emotion is that this will most likely be his last Euros and to finish badly with the performance he put in must of been so disappointing to nearly go out like that.
He loves his country, simple as that
That's probably right, I'd agree. He's built it up in his head and the emotion probably comes with the expectations he puts on himself.
He'll need to reflect and flip his own internal narrative. He can go out with good faith in his teammates, who are undoubtedly contributing to the team as much as (if not more) - That's a GOOD thing. He can go out with a positive outlook on himself, as well as the future of the national team.
They weren’t losing though
PS: Owen Hargreaves (remember him?) was on RTL last week in Full Deutsch speaking, very good performance, ask him (invite) to your Pod Cast, would luv to see him & hear his perspective b4 QF, although he is a southerner (Munich) that's very different from up_North as a St Pauli fan
He does commentary, you can probably find what you're looking for relatively easily
Was Alan offended at the implication he looked gay, or the implication he'd be in a relationship with Gary ?! DOES HE THINK HE'S OUT OF GARY'S LEAGUE ??! 😂 Lineker's a catch for anyone, come on!
Alan is younger by a fair bit
@@ljwyles4300 He doesn't look younger though
Gary took real offence to be knocked back by Big Al ....lol
🤣🤣🤣
10 years isn't a big deal in your 50s/60s. Al's older than Gary's younger ex-wife.
I had to pause the video to watch Lineker's hat tricks against Turkey lol. But it made me realise how much football has changed. Today the gap between the so called "lesser teams" and "bigger teams" is no longer very great and we need to stop thinking teams like Turkey, Slovakia, Georgia, Slovenia, Serbia etc... are going to be anything other than well organised, talented and tough.
I was at one of those games against Turkey in the 80’s where Lineker scored a hat trick. England won 8-1 on the night. Turkey have come a long way since those days.
@@wolfeflambethey have that young lad too now is it Arda Guler
They’re clearly good or they wouldn’t have qualified. That’s a given
Yeah, which is why it’s always slightly questionable whenever anyone asserts that bigger team X ought to be swatting smaller team Y aside. There were no whipping boys at Euro 2024. Everyone got at least a point. Everyone scored at least one goal.
You know why that is? It's because it's down to a science now and it's the same in almost every industry and sport, it's a numbers game, way too analytical and lacking passion, the golden age is over
They get pissed, they swear, they talk football. Love it.
Micah is great fun and this is much more entertaining than watching Gareth Southgate’s team!
Having toothache is better than watching Gareth Southgate’s team
You keep saying Bruno is better at freekicks, but who is the last player to score a freekick for Man united? Cristiano Ronaldo
🙏 Amen
At International level CR7 has a terrible record so maybe Bruno is better for Portugal
@@bigtony4829not really, I'm still putting Bruno in main freekick-taker over CR7 but because his has better delivery in certain situations not just trying every single angle to shoot it.
@bigtony4829 Y'all need to admit that you hate Ronaldo because you can't really be calling for Bruno to take free kicks when he's scored just 1 free kick for Man Utd in 5 seasons. Total free kicks scored in his career = 2. Ronaldo 11 free kicks in his first spell of 5 years in the EPL. He is the last player to score a free kick for Man Utd with his solitary strike in his 2nd spell at the club. Now, please explain why Bruno should be taking free kicks? Ronaldo also scored 2 free kicks in the SPL last season.
@@siyabongakunene5052 Dont put words in my mouth I dont hate CR7 I admire him but maybe time to let someone else have a go at free kicks for the good of the team, ..It;s selfish to keep them if your not scoring
Great Podcasts, apart from the expertise of all of you, the humour and the anecdotes from Germany are just priceless 😉👍 keep up the brilliant work!
32:41 I guarantee they are on You Tube because I'm the one who uploaded them years ago 😂
All these people going on about mental health in sports, and the immense pressure Ronaldo is under and people having a go at him for showing emotions and crying, I think its healthy to see this. Thats ok to be vulernable hes coming to end of his career and Portugal means everything to him. Pundits will then turn around and advertise better help or whatever its called, and then slate him. Bizarre.
The weird thing about Ronaldo starting games is that Portugal have one of the best subs in Diego Jota to come on late in the game which is a major game changer to have.
Portugal are better without Ronaldo. He scores goals (a few) but takes away a lot of the team potential. They would score more without him.
Maybe.. but like it or not he gives the nation the belief they can win.
I can see why this scenario has happened.
@Bassa1952 You mean to tell me that Jota is better than Ronaldo? I do think he should get game time, but alongside Ronaldo.
Right now Jota is Portugal best forward 💯 if Jota had stayed fit Liverpool would of won the title he is that important. Only problem is that he is injured prone.
So it a weird way Ronaldo is probably fitter than Jota even at his current age so this formula might get Portugal far into the tournament
I was wondering guys, if you’d ever fancy doing a live broadcast during a game; almost as though we’re watching the game with ya… it wouldn’t be commentary, but just to hear ya talk while the game is on. What you see in the moment…thoughts?
We may consider it !
They get paid too much, they'll do that when they retire if they feel like it
I know Big Meeks mentions Roy Keane is following him, but he forgets to mention he has a picture of him in full view next to the model car on the shelves behind him and the 'strategically placed' PP watch box. Great podcast guys. Enjoying every episode.
It’s his book
I just adore this podcast. It has the exact right vibe I like when listening to a football podcast, can obviously tell there’s a lot of chemistry between the panel and that they respect one another, but also have that banter of slagging each other.
I am really enjoying the sort of semi-regular segment of Micah analysing a particular player/performance in a casual sense in any of the games being spoken about (although he missed Schlotterbeck vs Denmark). Keep up the great work guys.
The ronaldo/homelander meme is spot on 😂
It’s perfect 😂

Been loving this pod through the euros period. Had me laughing loads. Great stuff guys 👍
Oh WOW I remember when I first subscribed and you guys were about 70k subs. Well done for being over 200k now
Honestly, what a podcast you guys have created! There aren't many podcasts that have me laughing out loud 😂. You all have great chemistry and know your stuff, so keep it going.
Oh, and Micah, we're still waiting on this What Happened in Vegas Podcast 😂
This trio is better than other media when providing opinions or reviews about football. that's why I follow on RUclips, and of course I subscribe. keep going!!!
Micah with the Keane book on his shelf, wonder if he's been cheeky enough to get it signed? 😂
This tournament has summed the quality of football today
Yep, diving , diving, more diving and tentative, scared to lose football, they've forgotten what's important
I bet nobody in Qatar asked them that question.
This podcast is the only thing that has made following England this tournament bearable!
You three need to stick together for football related shows, you really bounce off each other and you always put a smile on my face when I watch , Thank you
This pod has been a massive highlight of my tournament let alone my summer. Feels like an extension of my mates. Great job lads
Agreed. And they're extremely respectful in their views, trying to say the negatives and positives without showing too much bias. Unlike some other ridiculous podcasts where they spew nonsense for clicks
Gary hates Ronaldo doesn’t he aha, Bruno is nowhere near the free kick taker Ronaldo is, a whole generation have grown up trying to take free kicks like Ronaldo. Let’s not dilute how good he is at free kicks.
How many free kick Ronaldo scored in four games then?
@@Angel_M777 Bruno has scored 2 FKs in last 4 years mate. jog on
@@AbdulKareem-kv2um it’s not the answer to my question
@@Angel_M777Bruno is no free kick master. Stop it. I'm speaking as a Man Utd fan btw.
Another great Podcast, getting funnier with each one! Noticed Roy Keane keeping an eye over Micah's shoulder!
Thank you !
Thanks lads, for another great episod. Great stuff by my two favorite ex-England Players (Gary and Alan). Saturday will be tough; be gentle to the Swiss - I am Swiss.
Be gentle to us more like! Switzerland have played far better as a team than England. I fully expect us to get ripped to shreds unless we put in a performance and our form so far hasn't suggested that will happen. Here's to a (hopefully) exciting game though. May the best team win!
@@sinksinkswim May the best team (on that day) win :-) cheers
The moment Ronaldo burst out in tears was when he saw his mum in tears. Seeing your mum cry for you is painful enough for any man to break down
"gary lineker hat trick turkey" is now the first thing that comes up when you search "Gary L" 🤣
CR7 been playing better than Kane. Though everybody says Kane can’t be dropped…. So why should Cr7
Kane has 2 goals. Ronaldo has 0
@@Tom-dn6zyhe could have scored easily against Turkey but he made the right decision in order to put the game to bed. And seriously Kane's first goal was his by default.
@@Tom-dn6zyhe's literally missing the goals as well when he's right infront of them. His press is crap, he's slow, he's still a great striker but not better than this current over the hill ronaldo. I say that as compared to prime cr7. But if you judge him against other number 9's. He can dribble better, pass just as well, strike better, head just as well. Can't compare ronaldo to prime cr7, but a fair comparison. Come him against the crap no.9's in this tournament
A true leader uses the strenghts of his teammates and tries to let them shine instead of making every match a personal vendetta against aging.
who does aging play for?
Spot on
100% Spot on
💯💯
he gave bruno a goal in the group stage so what's your point?
Great work , loving the shows
Thank you !
The best euro podcast out there! Outstanding stuff. I look forward to this everyday!
Fun fact: Hi a Turk here. We have a Fenerbahce player (Abdulkerim Durmaz) who always jokes about the 8-0 loses against England, he was assigned to man mark new coming young Gary Lieneker at Wembley. When they were at corner scfuffle (he praises the england team which were makimg front post back post runnings) he lost Lienar while to ball was crossed in he quotes himself asking the other Turkish centre back: "My man did you see Lieneker? where did he go?". The other Turkish center back replied while ball was comimg into box: "I don't know, last i saw him, he was going this way." :D
Greetings from Turkey. Wishing all the best.
it's hilarious how they're talking about the moving story of the slovenian player who has come back from depression and even had a whole story about him in the build up to the match, only to effectively laugh at ronaldo and say they 'don't get it' when he is emotional about missing the penalty because ronaldo's mental health just doesn't matter does it. it wasn't just a penalty, it was the goal that could've won them the game. Ronaldo loves portugal more than anything and he's an emotional guy anyway so of course he's gonna cry and I'm sure all the media outlets would be excited to make all the headlines about him! you complain about the 'ronaldo show' when the thumbnail of this video is 'the ronaldo conundrum' and the video only has a small segment about him! You guys are the ones that make it about him then complain!! (big up micah for trying to look at things from ronaldo's point of view though)
Ronaldo cryed, like I cryied at home after a game in which I realized, that I cant compete with the 20yr olds. Things Ive done 20yrs everyday easy, just dont work anymore. Even the easy things. It broke my soul for a while
Real
@@sneakytacos773comparing what u do to what he has done. Get a grip u dont even live in the same world as him.
Cried you mean

U was a sub 😂😂😂
Absolutely love this pod with these three, rippin' each other all the time... Quality! 😂
that intro about the guy asking how long they'd been together is why i love this channel, so funny. i was in germany for 2006 world cup, and where the current studio is, in front of the brandenburg gate, they had a big football construction, with the real world cup trophy in it, was amazing. and there was a pele museum in berlin for that tournament too, germany rocks
The best football podcast right here. It's all so natural with what appears to be their real personalities coming through.
Has big Meeks gone home to dry out, as I notice you two are on the Vino again! 😂
Great Podcasts guys keep it going!
Bruno has scored 2 free kicks in the last 2 years what are people raging about?
I know right 🤦🏽♂️ as bad as the conversion rate is.. ronaldo got 63 scored FK in his career … 2 behind messi and beckham I believe… maybe he should let Bruno take 1 out of 3 in a game but shouldn’t over react and act like the other players are way better than ronaldo!
My sentiment exactly. And one wasn't even that good. De Bruyne takes all the free kicks for Belgium, haven't heard even a single complaint about him.
Great channel great content well done guys keep that going ! Cheers
This boring football is having a huge impact on fans, way beyond those in the stadium, the number of fans in the pubs is slowly dwindling. Winning is all well and good but it’s legitimately so painful to watch.
It's not been a good tournament at all
Can either of you explain what would make the tournament not boring?
@@Wut3225 I was talking about England specifically, I will watch football from any league at any level and enjoy a game but these England games have caused me to want to turn it off early, It’s really difficult to watch. It’s not just the lack of quality, it’s just so boring.
In terms of the actual tournament nothing will ever come close to the Brazil World Cup. It’s untouchable in terms of quality, moments, upsets and everything as a whole.
@@lukebarnes3157 I mean Spain have been unbelievable to watch and the last 8 is where you normally get those big nations playing each other and see a lot more quailty players so this is really where the tournament starts .. I think Germany v Spain will be game of the tournament Portugal v France is a good game .. England CANT BE ANY WORSE CAN THEY ? and Holland have started playing well
Just glory hunting England 'followers' not fans
PS: Owen Hargreaves (remember him?) was on RTL last week in Full Deutsch speaking, very good performance, ask him (invite) to your Pod Cast, would luv to see him & hear his perspective b4 QF, although he is a southerner (Munich) that's very different from up_North as a St Pauli fan⚽
Best thing to come out of the Euros so far. Fantastic work lads.
After watching brilliant Austria painfully knocked out by magnificent Turkey by 2x forgivable errors on set-pieces lastnight ...England should be thanking the heavens right now, sit up and do some sensible changes to that starting eleven + our formation otherwise we are Not reaching the semis if we continue relying on "lucky moments" of our matches!
We have had 4x warnings already !!!!
I started watching Austria v Turkey but couldn’t stand the booing and whistling from the Turkey fans the whole time Austria had the ball.
It was worse than the vuvuzelas from 2010. I tried mute but then No atmosphere. I ended up switching off.
Am I being lame? How did you stand it?! 😂
Spot on mate!
Enough warnings for us tbh
@AndreS_22246 understandably, I had to blaze thru the noise and observe the awesome displays at play
I thought it was brilliant…..added to the atmosphere
@@AndreS_22246 vuvuzelas one of the best things ever lol tho these hostile atmospherees are even better. not as if its moms n kids in the crowds is it lol
Loving how many podcasts are coming through . Keep up the great work guys . And maybe ask in the pods about the job ralf ragnick done at austria and did the lads expect it after him being at united. Thanks guys . Brilliant podcast as usual❤
they lost to turkey and had no plan b. discussion over lol
I said did they expect it from when he was at united. They also topped their group , which is worth a discussion and beat Holland also worth a talk about. Them losing to Turkey and the discussion being over isn't the in depth question and answer I had in my mind. That's more of a short answer to 1 game which isn't what I meant
Love the podcast look forward to the conversation after every game in the Euro’s you boys know what your talking about and with a good slice of humour ! Keep up the great work…..
You can't help but love Micah, such an wonderfully infectious personality.
The Euro Schedule for the next games is a bit weird, For example England played a day earlier then portugal yet both Portugal and France are playing a day before, makes no sense
so long as enough rest its a bit rrelavant. not as if england players have worked hard
It's because clearly FIFA have a historical love and bias for England 😂
@@kingleonidas6092 This isn't a FIFA tournament.
It's so the Semi Final opponents have the same number of days rest before they play eachother.
It's because England played in one of the earlier groups (C) but ended up in the lower bracket. It's the reverse for Portugal (F).
The British who are used to bottle up their emotions can't understand the raw emotions of players like Ronaldo. His passion for winning has this other side. He was already sad about disappointing his country and his team mates when he saw his Mum crying in the stands. That's what broke him.
Yep. Just said this on a different comment. Look at English football fans. A slight sniff of something going wrong and the first thought is to turn to violence. 4 cans of Stella and the girlfriend cowering in the corner.
You're not familiar with Paul Gascoigne then I take it. Take a look at clips of Italia '90 and our semi-final with West Germany. You'll find it educational.
I think Christiano Ronaldo has been massively indulged by the British media over the years. His gripe that the chefs at Carrington had hadn't changed and his observation that Wayne Rooney wasn't as good-looking as him only served to denigrate him in the eyes of the public. Then there was the way he flounced out of Man Utd without giving an ounce of respect to the Man Utd fans who had attempted to galvanise Ronaldo during his family tragedy.
Once again English football supporters are fed-up with seeing an extremely talented and extraordinarily well-remunerated generation of players make an absolute arse of a winnable international tournament. It's understandable that they should feel annoyed. The economy has tanked, the cost of living is rocketing, no good news is on the horizon and the England team manager who is paid £5,000,000 per annum can't select a decent team or choose match-winning tactics if his life depended on it!
As for your long-suffering missus hiding in the corner, what the bloody hell are you doing to the poor woman...?!
i look forward to every episode like its breakfast now, listening(watching) from canada. love it to bits
As a United fan, I’ll always root for Weghorst. The man had the best attitude playing for us. He was just a family guy who was grateful to be there and always gave 110%. Mad respect
Wout De Gea Valencia and Herrera ,plus Rooney of course ,maybe even Young ,they never stopped.
But you already forgot ighalo
United fan who thought he was shocking for us though. Watched multiple matches where he has so many clear chances for goals that he completely failed to score. He's a striker. Good for him for his country, but he was not great in the Prem at all.
@@behindthecloud yeah he's crap, he'll be forgotten in 2 years (even by the guy you're replying to)
The media twist everything. It's you - the media - who are obsessed with Cristiano and make everything about him 24/7, because you know that the name Cristiano immediately increases your viewership, likes, and engagement - that's a fact! Why don't you talk about Kane since you are from England? You are talking 10000000% more about Ronaldo than Kane, lol. Ronaldo just does his job on the pitch, literally! Ronaldo got emotional as anyone would in this situation, that's all! Messi cried after missing a pen at the Copa& World Cup, and retired from Argentina, did you comment like that about Messi when it happened? Also, it's somehow only a 'mental health' issue when it's Kane who missed pen vs France or Rashford, but when it's Ronaldo he can be abused, right? Your behavior and hypocrisy are so pathetic, seriously! The same people who whine that Cristiano cried are the same people who lectured us about the fact that 'men can cry too' and the need for therapy! What a joke!
It's lucky that you at least talked about Cristiano's brilliant movement in the box because he is a master of it, it's not talked about enough - he is now a typical striker, and his ability to find small spaces to shoot, his ability to lose the defenders and occupy brilliant shooting positions are second to none! And that's why Ronaldo is still the best option as a striker for Portugal - that's a fact!
Meanwhile, no one is blaming Kane for England's lack of fluidity, no one is questioning Mbappe for France's shittiness in front of the goal and everyone questions their managers Southgate and Deschamp, and rightly so, but in the case of Portugal, it's Ronaldo that's the cause? Are you seriously that blind and oblivious to your own agenda?!
Mbappe hasn’t stepped up, Griezmann, Depay didn't, Lukaku didn't, Sesko didn't, Foden didn't, Bruno didn't, Silva didn't, Leao didn't, Felix didn't, Hojlund didn't, and the list goes on& on! They're all younger than Cristiano and in their prime, yet you don't question them!
Do you know Cristiano has been playing with chronic pain every day, since 2014? Of course, you don't! This is not some light injury a la Messi that passes after a week, no! Cristiano was diagnosed with chronic tendinosis in his knees in 2014. That means constant pain every time he moves his knees and is only manageable to some extent with special treatments, cold baths, and medications, but not curable, it's chronic! Cristiano was a brilliant winger for most of his career but had to evolve in his game and change into a striker to save energy and his knees, coz running as a winger like he used to, in this condition, would be disastrous for him!
This evolution shows you how smart Cristiano is as a player & athlete - this allowed him to score tons of important goals and win things for years now! As a striker, he does still a marvelous job, just as you said - his movement in the box, and finding space and position to score goals, are second to no one!
As for the free kicks, this is the decision of the coach and training staff, you have no idea what goes on within the team, and why Martinez made this choice! Are you suggesting you know more about this sport, Ronaldo, and the team?! When was the last time Bruno scored a free-kick? I can't even remember!
Cristiano is an elite athlete, one of the greatest that this planet has ever seen, he is almost 40 years old, and has experience and knowledge of the smallest details of this sport! Not to mention he has the greatest mental fortitude I've ever seen, especially since he is viciously attacked and hated on 24/7. Most of us under such pressure, constant hate, and having the world obsess over us, would commit suicide a long time ago! But Cristiano keeps going because he has ambition, and you & others confuse it with selfishness. Some pathetic journos dare to lecture or write complete bollocks about an athlete like that!! It's like teaching mathematics to Einstein!
You won't tell him when to retire or lecture him about the game, he knows what he is doing! And waiting for you to say the same about Messi who is also old, and had only terrible misses at Copa now, Martinez is literally carrying him, but you don't hear about Messi having to retire, right? And before you start to defend Messi with the 'playmaker' nonsense - Cristiano also assisted vs Turkey, and had a great game vs Turkey! Double standards as always, when it comes to Ronaldo!
There's no chance that the coach is saying "Cristiano is bad at free kicks but I want him to take all of them anyway". It is obviously Ronaldo's choice and it is selfish of him and bad for the team to do that.
Legit most of everything you said it was me and my brother said. These guys dont understand the irony and hypocrisy in what they say. Kane for my country is terrible. Yet they dont utter a word or foden. Absolute joke men.
@@TerribleEnglishthey mentioned bruno is better, ive not even remembered the last time bruno scored one for the team i support my guy and bruno is my favourite player there. I think the freekicks can be debatable but if youve played football, you’ll know the manager does have a say in it or set pieces aswell as players so its not entirely a “selfish” thing
@@Jabar0t How is Kane being selfish and hurting the team like Ronaldo is?
@@Jabar0t It's obviously Ronaldo's decision because Bruno or someone else should be taking a turn once in a while. So it is selfish
What a fantastic interview 👏 😊
I love this podcast/show ever since I stumbled across it. You guys are so funny together, I feel you need to do a Gray, Alan & Mich travel show like Gino, Gordon & Fred 😂😂😂😂
Gaza cried because he may not have been able to play in the final, Ronaldo cried because he felt he could have cost the whole teams place in the next round. Don't try and make it seem worse than it is.
No player in history, except Messi, is or has been under the pressure of Ronaldo and this is most likely his last ever tournament for Portugal.
Gary's tongue is so far up Messi's arse he would have been saying something completely different if that was him, talking about the pressures he has for Argentina etc.
For the record Messi is the best ever for me but Ronaldo is as close as it gets to him
Micah makes a great point on doing a best 11 up until now cos of how some will be forgotten for being out. Baumgartner would be the first name on mine, he's put in 110% everytime i've watched him play, what an engine! Would have got the equaliser if not for the miracle save
missed a hatful
I have always loved tournament football, but this podcast has made this euros extra enjoyable. The banter between the 3 is brilliant and makes it the highlight of my day!
Keep up the great work guys😊
fantastic effort brilliant thank you
Criticizing Cristiano Ronaldo for shooting all the freekicks, ok, but who else to take them then? Don't talk to me about Bruno Fernandes... 1 freekick in the Premier League.... Ronaldo had that at what, 20 years old? 63 FKs for CR7, not even 10 for Fernandes... yet you say with absolute certainty that Fernandes is a better FK taker. Crazy.
so ronaldo should take them for the next 20 years
@@John-m4c Well as long as no one else is better than him, he should take them. Then if you want to be stupid and talk about 20 years blahblahblah, ok, if you want, I'll let you be that idiot.
Fernandes taking FKs makes absolutely no sense when you look at his record. Lineker just hates Ronaldo so he doesn't even bother to look at the stats. I mean every team has a designated set piece taker, what's special about Portugal. Also he was really close with one of the FKs.
He burst in to tears after seeing is mom crying on the screen but off course nobody talks about this.. imagine seeing your mum like that?.. after missing a penalty and at that moment portugal could go home.. he said to portuguese media that he scored loads of goals this season but end up missing the most important one for his people.. crying or emotions is not that bad only shows how much he wants to win, if the English squad had 20% of his desire to win, im sure you guys and the fans would be much happier with your team.
Fact bro📌📌📌
Also, one thing to take into consideration is the different temperament southern people have. They are much more emotional and passionate about everything.
They might have won in 90 minutes if he let a team mate take a free kick once in a while. There are better players in the Portugal squad them him now, they should be allowed to take the lead.
That literally wasn’t clear when watching the game. Just looked like he burst into tears🤡
@@phillsmith9255who are the fantastic free kick takers I keep hearing about? Bruno? He shanks many of them for United and has scored 2 in 2 years.
Glad you guys are keeping an eye on them air miles 😂.
Banter, loving the show, hope it can be a longer term thing.
Never knew Micah was a Dad, he always gave off Fun Uncle energy to me 🤯
It's a bit strange to me that Ronaldo's freekick qualities have gone down so much over the years. It used to be half a penalty kick when he would do them in his younger days. Especially with the knuckle balls.
It’s not strange, he’s been useless on them for at least 10 years now, no one really is putting the knuckle technique to use, the last one I can remember is Rashford against Chelsea and that was like 4 years ago
@@Youafool500He has over 60 in his career.
@@markjohnson3196 Yes but he’s been useless at them for the past 10 years, for the amount of free kicks he takes to the goals he gets from them in the past 10 years is poor
You just can't leave Ronaldo out. Even if he is older and has an ego. He is just way more dangerous and a bigger threat then Goncalo Ramos
Considering his shot to goal ratio, i’m not sure his threat is that big right now
Completely different Ramos is striker plays back to goal and holds ball up for wingers to have interplay with. He also presses so Portugal aren't always having to break down a low block every time the length of field. It's youth level basic tactics. The 4-2-3-1 with Ronaldo at 9 as someone who can't hold ball up doesn't work for him or team. It's awful managing Ronaldo doesn't have quickness or abilities to get on crosses in air anymore. He needs wingers close to him to play one twos those are things that Felix, and jota do quick guys who attack but dribble wonderful. Leao likes open field running at people. Silva isn't quick but world-class. He hasn't yet picked balanced attack and he insists on playing leao and Ronaldo together despite they are only two that don't press. Ronaldo is struggling physically, emotionally but he's a legend and full of pride it's coach job to save these guys from themselves and put them in position to succeed. Ronaldo isn't threatening at all man he's had twenty shots . Bruno led qualifying with 9 goals 8 assists he's heartbeat of team and had 3 shots all tournament. Ronaldo is taking twice that each match without scoring. He's taken five more shots than anyone else and havertz in second has been benched for only converting twice out of fifteen shots. Ronaldo hasn't scored I've watched every tournament since world cup 1990 and there's never been anything like this. It's so out of control and not how any player or manager at professional level has ever behaved. I'm Portuguese been a fan long before Ronaldo and we are all suffering and it's embarrassing. Ramos and jota have to be rotated he can start but then he won't be available for shootout if there he should come on at 60 minutes he will have fresh legs against tired defenders . Put him in better position and more importantly this team finally have chance to be dangerous and difficult to defend by playing with balance. It's absurd situation.
@@ryanphelan6861u been a Portugal fan for a long time but Ramos doesn't offer much when he plays. It's a way bigger issue than Ronaldo, Portugal are very disjointed with too many individuals
I paused to watch Lineker hat trick and it reminded me of the time I lived in Türkiye. Born in Türkiye but lived most of my life in Australia so I grew up on English football. I lived in Türkiye during 83-86 when i was 14 I remember taking a bet with a classmate at a private school in Ankara . My classmate was talking of how Türkiye would win the world cup qualifier against England. I started laughing out loud and so he suggested we bet on it. I said England would win 8-0 and he bet me 10000 lira at the time which was a lot for me but not my classmates. England won 8-0 everyone in my class was shocked! During that time I lived there is when Turkish football changed it was when Jupp Derwall went to Galatasaray .
That Turkey Austria game was one of the best if not THE best game i've watched all Euros and i've only missed a total of 6 games MAX
The hate Gary receives is so irrational. He always comes across as a fair-minded and likeable guy. He has a few opinions that rub sections of society up the wrong way, but overrall he's a decent guy.
I wouldn't watch it if Gary wasn't on it. Very natural and entertaining guy
Some cant stand his political views, just because of that everything he says is wrong. Its just silly
Cant criticise Ronaldo because of his passion and ambition but he does need a reality check. He hasnt been in the top 10 players in the last 5 years and thats a fact. His game plan is to simply hang inside the box. Hes not even the best Portuguese player in the last 5 years and thats fine hes 39
Messi hasnt done shit in copa, and there isn't any talk of benching him. But my god Ronaldo plays the same, and he is selfish. You can't make it up.
Still can’t get over Gary and Alan swearing, warms my soul! Love how many of these we’ve been getting! Look forward to these more than the England games 😅
I feel there's a significant bias in comparing Ronaldo's and Gazza's emotional breakdowns. Both players got emotional at the thought of missing out if their teams advanced. In fact, Gazza's situation was arguably more self-centred, as it was only his personal loss. In contrast, Ronaldo's breakdown stemmed from the burden of potentially letting his entire team down. The pressure he faced was immense. It's worth noting that England wasn't leading when Gazza had his moment, either. The only peculiar aspect of Ronaldo's performance was his fixation on free kicks. Otherwise, it's unfair to criticize him, especially when comparing it to Gazza's moment.
But is Bruno Fernandes that much better in free kicks? Who else is there besides CR7 and Bruno? Bernardo? Didn't know him to be a free kick specialist. Also, doesn't De Bruyne take all the free kicks for Belgium? I haven't heard anyone complain about him?
@@siyabongakunene5052 Does De Bruyne have the ridiculously poor record that Ronaldo has? Does he also take direct free kicks from crazy angles like we saw when the ball was at the by-line? No.
Bullshit. They're both self-centered breakdowns lol. There was still another half of extra time to go, to be the captain and break-down like that because you couldn't convert all night along is selfish. You should be rallying your team together for those final 15 minutes. I'm sorry but we should judge him by the very lofty standards we apply to the greats lol.
@@umarriihe’s scored 1 in 60 free kicks. Ronaldo is only about Ronaldo and he should be ashamed with his antics.
@@MrGhostnextdoor Yeah, I'm fine if people think both are shows of that behaviour. My comment is more about people who see this situation one way and Gazza's the other, when really either it should be a both or none.
Gary slightly offended when Shearer said he wasn’t interested in him XD
My new favourite podcast ❤ chuck in Roy Keane and you have a dream line up 😂
Can't believe you didn't mention Merih Demiril. Not only did he score 2 goals but he defended heroically the whole game.
And that save by the Turkish keeper at the end🙆♂️.
I love Micah comment on Ronaldo issue. No one wants to let their country down, however England fans won't understand because when their country lose they protect their stars and attack the black guys like Saka. Wait until they get eliminated no one will speak about how bad Foden has been playing but it will be Palma should have started over Saka
Yea sometimes the way they attack saka and bellingham leaves me wondering. Declan rice was pretty bad too and nobody said anything
Stop forcing racism and creating narratives in your head. Two of the most criticized for the last 2 weeks are Southgate and Kane and they are both white if my eyes don't lie. 99% of people will be saying about those who they think are playing bad, no matter the color of their skin.
it doesnt have to always be about Ronaldo, but hes just too big and people will always make it about him , at this point he has no control about it
I thought it took real guts for Ronaldo to go and take the first penalty after missing
What perplexes me, is that Portugal are prepared to lose a match due to one man's inflated ego. No player should be bigger than the team, I don't care how good they are, but in this case Ronaldo clearly is.
Yep it is a very unhealthy dynamic.
Wow.... Selective memory much.... Didn't Portugal try that when they were in a world cup (CR7 was younger). They won the world cup without him right?
I very much agree with Alan, Spain have looked the best team!
I can’t believe Alan had so few caps for England, why?
He retired at 30 I think, So could have had more but chose club over career at that time.
Sheringham outlasted Al and he's 5 years older!
By his own admission he had two serious injuries by that time and his body couldn’t continue. I wish we’d coaxed him to 2004 because he would have been a great impact player. But I believe he declined but was tempted.
He retired from international football at 29
Retired early from international because of injurys, had two serious Injurys the last one basically left him with zero pace
That pizza italian clip has killed me 😂😂 that has to be the most stereotypical clip of all time💀 imagine a Mexican throwing his tacos on the ground, or an English throwing a beer battered cod to the floor 😭😭
We would never call it a beer battered cod and we would never throw it to the floor no matter what
Take a shot every time big meeks says "moments"
Ronaldo, hes a baby, big baby.
Agreed, he's just embarrassing
A big, hardworking, wealthy, and successful baby. How about you?
Do you know why tear ducts exist tough guy?😂
How many FKs has Bruno scored in the last 2 years Gary? Or since he came to Utd?
Great question
cristianos last freekick goal for portugal was against spain in 2016. nuff said.
2 converted free kicks in over 4 years, the same amount that Ronaldo managed last season lol.
@@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649 when was Bruno's last FK goal or even Bernardo 's?
@@homerp.hendelbergenheinzel6649he literally scored one last year in euro qualifiers💀
One detail that doesn't get mentioned when talking about Ronaldo's missed penalty - he didn't really fluff his lines. We can call it a missed penalty but really it was an exceptional save from a goalkeeper who is not known for his ability to save spot kicks (said as an Atleti fan).
Ronaldo didn't play well and the team were probably worse for him being on the pitch, yes; but in that moment I don't think he let anyone down. Very good penalty just outdone by a better save.
Yeah but he took all the free kicks of significance too. None of them were effective. Like Gary said in this podcast, Fernandez is better equipped but Ronaldo pulls rank on him. So yes, he did fluff his lines, because if it wasn't for Costa, Portugal could have been out because of all that. Ronaldo essentially hogged all the big moments and failed to score, leaving them in a lottery situation against a much weaker side. How is that good for the national team as a whole? To me it seems very unhealthy.
What? Poor penalty at the keepers height. Should be high or low to beat the keeper on the same side
@@MikeC77All the free kicks were bad? One went just over and the other needed a strong save from Oblak.
You forgot to mention Gaza cried then refused to take a peno, his team lost and he went home to a heroes welcome. Double standards me thinks.
So your argument is that both gazza and Ronaldo are big babies?
Gazza was 18.
Ronaldo is 39.
@@NeilLewis77 My argument is the treatment and perception when it happens to another player/country.
Gazza didn't take a peno, Ronaldo did.
Fair point. But this is not about Ronaldo, it’s about the Portuguese FA (or maybe even Martinez) still putting him on the pitch and even allowing him to take all the free kicks. His runs are predictable, his free kicks harmless - it’s like having a bronze statue in your starting lineup. His team mates must be fuming by now.
@@JosephHuntelvisnspiders well my perception has nothing to do with nationality.
Or media coverage or anything other than the individuals behavior.
I can't ever imagine a man like pepe crying like a little girl because he made a mistake.
Especially while the game is still going on.
Ronaldo was pathetic.
@@JosephHuntelvisnspidersAnd Ronaldo missed.
Where do you film the podcast? I assumed that was a house/apartment the bbc has rented that some of you stayed in?
its a hotel, i love the table xD from the interior i can say pretty sure that its a five star standard hotel ( everything is clean, no dust, glasses are perfect, the bottles in the background...).
the fucking chemistry is phenomenal, please never stop these
@23:24 guess who is staring out over Micah's right shoulder from the bookcase...said Roy Keane. Spooky.
GET GORDON IN THE STARTING ELEVEN - UP THE TOON 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
hes a liverpool player this season aint he?
Without the ego you wouldn't have the player. It's a tricky one
Yeah, but at 39 this huge ego becomes a burden on the team..
Ten Hag was brave enough to drop him… brilliant man management by RM is simply playjng him every minute?
Excellent podcast again , enjoying them all. Just one thing " Turkey great fans " if England fans were lighting flares and hurling cups and coins at Austrian players taking corners you'd call them a disgrace.
