'No More Portugal': a Proballerf short turns into a goodbye card for Ronaldo

The title never names him, but the comment section does, over and over, as viewers explain how one player made them follow a whole country.

No More Portugal🥲

On Proballerf, a new short usually collects a couple of hundred comments on its first day. "No More Portugal🥲" collected more than 1,500, roughly eight times the norm, even though its views were about what the channel normally gets.

Proballerf is a football clips channel that cuts other people's footage into quick moments under emoji-heavy titles. This one shows no name beyond the country and a tearful face. The comments fill in the rest. Nearly all of them are about Cristiano Ronaldo, and they read the short as his goodbye to the national team. The title itself does not say what happened, and the replies are viewers' reactions, not a report.

What they talk about is personal. Again and again, people say he was the only reason they ever supported Portugal, and some wonder which team they will follow at the next World Cup. Others go further back, to Real Madrid, the club where he spent nine seasons and where many of these viewers say they first fell for football. A few grumble that he never got a proper farewell, and one popular reply lines him up with Neymar and Messi as an era closing.

The same day brought a second short with a crying emoji, "It's The End🥲," which has drawn even more views but far less conversation.
