He has. If your people are calling for you to be axed from the team, not just a few, everyone, back after the world cup 2010. Your doing something very wrong. He's had a few good performances here and there since 2004, vs Belgium, Bosnia, a free kick vs Denmark (the game was over however) That's really been about it. In 8 years since his breakthrough, he really hasn't done a lot at all for his country. He lost his passion for his country back in 2008 when he became this global celebrity superstar. Which is what really annoys the Portuguese public.
He just hasn't got the dream team around him. I can see Portugal finishing bottom, they have a lot of problems against Denmark for some reason, Germany always go though and i feel despite Hollands poor defense, RVP and co will have a field day against their back line looking at the state its in.
Top player but can't see him doing much in this tournament as usual.
