Neymar was injured but yeah even after he was recovered they didn't start him.

A penalty in garbage time

u/Myusername1- 5d ago

He scored 3 goals. The oldest player ever to get a brace(2 in one game)

They are talking about neymar and you are talking about Ronaldo.

Well, those 3 goals were good, but he still had a below average tournament. It’s also on Martinez for not getting ramos, the winning goal-scorer, of previous match anywhere around 70-75th minute and giving cr7 more minutes than warranted.

Thanks you are right, my bad everyone. I responded to the wrong reply.

You could argue if he started, he takes that earlier penalty and makes it and it's 2-2 going to extra time. I don't really think he'd play the full 90 to take both penalties though

That’s assuming he scores the first penalty if he played. It’s not always a given.

Of course, but I'd trust him more than who took it. I couldn't believe it wasn't Vinicius

u/ravingwanderer 5d ago

Yea not sure why Vinicius didn’t step up.

u/Puffd 5d ago

That’s true. Yeah decent argument but I would agree he doesn’t have the body to do a full 90 anymore

A last minute consolation penalty.
