One of world Cup all time classic. Thrilling derby from the starف to the end. It was like a roller coaster and a side scoring game between Ronaldo and Costa.
In a pinch, that's where the bests show their finest arts. Respect for managing the pressure where you had no room for failure. Sad they couldn't face France in 1/4.

I’ve got to respect Portugal these past three years they have created so much talent like Bruno Fernandes Jao Felix Bernardo Silva Jota Rubén Días André Silva all in the span of a few years before it was just Ronaldo and players who’s were on the brink of retirement
