    Jose Fonte: Why Ronaldo MUST Start at 41, the Messi Debate & England Can Go Deep

    Joe Cole is joined by former Portugal, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham defender Jose Fonte for a fascinating deep dive into Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal's World Cup campaign and England's chances of lifting the trophy. Fonte explains why he believes Ronaldo still has to start for Portugal at the age of 41, what makes him a "different animal" compared to every other player he's encountered, and recalls the first time he came up against a teenage Ronaldo and immediately knew he was destined for greatness. He also reveals what Ronaldo is really like away from the spotlight, discusses the unbelievable level of fame he has to live with, and gives his verdict on the never-ending Messi vs Ronaldo debate. Elsewhere, Jose and Joe assess the World Cup so far, discuss why England are genuine contenders, reveal which teams have impressed them most, and explain why the USA remind Fonte of the Southampton side Mauricio Pochettino built. Joe also reveals why Pochettino gives him "Russell Crowe in Gladiator" vibes during this tournament. Plus, Fonte looks back on Portugal's historic Euro 2016 triumph, explains why the squad never panicked after Ronaldo's injury in the final, reveals whether today's Portugal side is stronger than the one that became European champions, and highlights the huge influence Bruno Fernandes has on the team.
