The Gaffer on
Portugal
World Cup 2026 ยท Pre-tournament verdict
The Gaffer says
โPortugal, mate? Ceiling's the moon, son โ Ronaldo's swansong, but it's that golden midfield that'll carry 'em proper. My honest worry? That backline's got more holes than my nan's old colander, and they always bottle the big one. Gut tells me semis, then heartbreak. Verdict: Proper dangerous, but nailed on to choke when it counts.โ
After they went out
โCalled it, didn't I? Spain nick one, Portugal go home, and Ronaldo's tears water my perfect prediction.โ
The Gaffer's picks for Portugal fixtures will appear here after the schedule is set.
