Portugal is going home having failed to meet its goal of winning the title of Europe's best national team. Last Sunday, the Portuguese played one of their best games at the Euros, but it was not enough to win.
The Belgian team's defense was top-notch
Undoubtedly the Belgian team begins any game with a powerful attack, and this time they showed their game in defense, practically holding back the entire game of his opponent, who after a short break completely forgot what is discretion.
The game for the Belgians remained hot almost all the time, but on the whole the Belgian defense managed to take the ball away from their goal in dangerous moments. Thibaut Courtois showed himself well in the game.
Belgium in this game showed that it can both attack and keep the shot.
Player for Portugal Ronaldo didn't have a good assistant
All the talk on the eve of the game came down to which player was better: Cristiano Ronaldo or Romelu Lukaku. As a result, neither scored a goal but it was impossible not to notice that Cristiano was active throughout the match, once again showing that, despite his years, he keeps in great shape.
At the end of the match, Cristiano, who had scored five goals in the group stage, stepped back, trying to start the attack from midfield. The balls that were passed to Cristiano were not very clear, because the ball either flew higher or someone from the Belgian team intercepted it.
The Portuguese team needs a new coach
The Portuguese team has achieved quite good results during the years of Fernando Santos' leadership, but it's time to say goodbye. With such a team, the Portuguese can play better several times over. It is clear that their coach did not manage to reach his full potential at this Euro.
The Portuguese coach uses maneuvers that both he and his opponents know well. For many teams, the games against Portugal were clear in advance.
The team stopped going forward despite, even though Portugal now has new stars almost every year.
In general, the resignation of Santos and the appointment of a new coach will be a kind of salvation for Portugal. This national team needs new ideas.
Yes you have some good point but i think the coach did nothing wrong. It was the keepers negligence that lad to that goal and their lost.

It says that the coaching methods of the game are OLD. That's all there is to it.
