Brilliant finishing from Ronaldo but an excellent performance from a very young Ireland side. We really should have scored a couple more.
I stopped watching the match at 80mins, and Ronaldo scores. Typical.
Ronnie amazing.....
The fact he always does this is the most amazing thing.
He’s not normal. As I said many a times, in the right team he scored 45 goals a season easy.

Luck of the Irish eh? Late late show from Ronnie the difference.
Twice.
Ronaldo a class act but feck me that ref is a thundering prick of the highest order
Awful Ref! Gutted for Ireland, but great finishing from CR7!
Down to 10 men, I thought Tchouaméni had a good half next to Pogba in a midfield two.
Netherlands were playing a bland piss poor parody on proper football, and then there was Norway... who were playing a type of anti-football that would make Jose Mourinho himself embarassed. But at least they got the best chances of the game with Haaland, who seemed a whole level above any other player on the pitch.
Another 90 minutes wasted, what a terrible, terrible waste of time to watch that shitshow

Must be weird to be an Irish and United fan today
Accumulated yellows means Ronaldo misses the next game?
Ronaldo lapping it up as he should as he is the GOAT. Whether it's for Portugal, Juve, Man City or Man Utd. I don't think he cares/cared. CR7* is where it's at.
*Not the Croydon cul de sac.

yep
What a bottlejob by Ireland hHA.
Good job Portugal, but this kind of performances is why they struggle against teams that are as good as them, and why they got eliminated by Uruguay and Belgium in their last 2 international tournaments, they should be playing better with the players they have.

Away trip to Azerbaijan?
He's not stupid, he knew what he was doing when he took his shirt off!
That was LVG first game wasn't it? In his third spell.
Don't think Holland will win the group tbh although Turkey conceded late goal at home to Montenegro so that helps. Think Holland will be in the play offs with many other decent teams like Czech Republic.....
Holy feck it happened again.
He’s a beast.
Ronaldo was the difference there, but the ref made a few howlers (on both sides). McClean should have put the game to bed but can't finish. We lack a clinical finisher.
We look vastly better than we did last year or the year before, but we've a lot left to do to improve.

Bitter Sweet tonight!
Ireland so close.
It had to be Ronaldo, didn't it!

It’s doesn’t make me any less gutted
any clips of the goals?
Yeah a bit but I can hate him in a Portugal shirt.
@SportingCP96 I've changed my mind today. Santos has to go before the World Cup, I really hope Ronaldo didn't just save his job again. The federation needs to have some balls and change fast. I'm nervous about playing in Azerbaijan in a few days, that says enough
Perfect ending to the Portugal game.
My favourite ever player scoring twice late on to beat my least favourite nation. Couldn't have written a better script.

He's the GOAT. And he plays for us. Incredible
I actually agree.
He’s past it and we have stagnated as a team.
Time for change.
He plays favorites and not who deserves to play.

What did the Irish ever do to you?
I'm sorry we've inconvenienced you so much, we'll go back to our corner.Perfect ending to the Portugal game.

Zero chance you watched the game.
Mrs Brown's Boys.
Why?
Ireland has 0 points, they aren't qualifying for the WC anyway, why waste energy on something you know it's not gonna happen.
They are as bad you expect them to be, even though there was a little improvement, but still not good enough to even fight for play-offs.
How very dare. That's a BBC production. We've disowned that twat.
it sucked
That's enough to warrant a permanent barring from the world cup. I don't understand how it's still airing.
Speaking as an Irish person and a Man utd fan yes he's right it is a bit weird but you carry on telling other people how they feel.
