TBH; He is overall nothing special. The last season, He started to have an identity, role, and presence on pitch; yet I don't rate him that much. Frankly, He is nowhere near Renato.

I looked to the right and saw Kaka, Inzaghi and Nesta. On the left. It was Crespo, Cafu, Maldini and Gattuso… Ancelotti was number one for me

Yup, he motivated teammates against Manchester United with words "I'll kill you all if we don't kick those cunts out." Big Grin

I went to check out the game, and saw something interesting (and completely off-topic)  Devilol

   

I guess Diogo is a popular given name in Portugal.  Sagrin

It's actually not that popular normally so just a coincidence. What isn't a coincidence was when a few years back in one game there was Andre Silva up front, Bernardo Silva our Right, Adrien Silva in CM, then Rafa Silva came off the bench to play LW. Andre Silva was taken off shortly after but for a few minutes there was 4 Silva's playing in the attacking third. Silva is essentially Portugal's version of Smith. as in, it's that common. 

I will also add that when you guys walk about corruption I always laugh. These two starting for the U21s at 22 years of age while a 19 year old better defender who helped win the league doesn't even make the team. Who you play for very much plays a part in selections. Apparently being a league winner hasn't changed that bias with Rafa making the squad instead of Nuno Santos but then if Rafa didn't make the squad then the best team in Portugal, that ended up in 3rd because they're sooooo good, wouldn't have any players in the NT for the Euro

To be honest I think they'll be the finalists. A lot of the favourites I don't think are half as good in practice as everyone makes them out to be. 
only France. But England, Belgium, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, for me are overrated. 
I have my issues with Ronaldo but would love to see Portugal get a second Euro or a WC win for him. Then there's no arguing he's one of the best ever. no matter what the Messi fanboys and arm chair experts say. He'll never be GOAT though but neither will Messi. Neither of them have anything on Maradona.
