Administrator Stan Posted June 22, 2021 Administrator Posted June 22, 2021 VS Kick-off 20.00 (BST) Venue - Puskas Arena, Budapest Portugal have to avoid defeat to have a chance of qualification. If they finish 3rd, they will be assured of qualifying for knockout stages

Feel a bit sorry for him, to be honest But that's by far not as bad as the above case. I mean, nobody really expects a country to have two relatively large cities with the same name...
Administrator Stan Posted June 23, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 23, 2021 Also, love when a group is like this and all permutations (nearly) are possible on the final day. Will be exciting watch on top of the actual players and quality on show
Michael Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Presuming both France and Germany win tonight, this is what the Round of 16 will likely look like: Wales v Denmark in Amsterdam(The Netherlands) Italy v Austria in London, Wembley(England) Netherlands v Czech Republic in Budapest(Hungary) Belgium v Portugal in Seville(Spain) Croatia v Spain in Copenhagen(Denmark) France v Switzerland in Bucharest(Romania) England v Germany in London,Wembley(England) Sweden v Ukraine in Glasgow(Scotland)
El Profesor Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 That combination of red and green of the portuguese kit is really beautiful. Also, Mbappé on the Semedo flank could be a real nightmare for Portugal.

This line up looked better than the one against Germany and in practice it's also looking better. France are good at playing long passes for our backs but that's been pretty much it.

Portugal looks much more cohesive and balanced with Renato Sanches on the midfield. I guess this is the advantage of falling in the group of death. Your weaknesses are exposed before the elimination games and give you the chance to adjust.
Administrator Stan Posted June 23, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 23, 2021 Penalty to Portugal!! Lloris flattens Danilo.
Machado Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Looks an obvious penalty. The guy never touched the ball.
Administrator Stan Posted June 23, 2021 Author Administrator Posted June 23, 2021 Don't get why France had so many complaints. It's dangerous from Lloris not getting the ball and cleaning out the player. Ronaldo dispatches the penalty! 1-0.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted June 23, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 23, 2021 Never in doubt that Ronaldo was going to score there.
Michael Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Portugal score through a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty.

Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted June 23, 2021 Subscriber Posted June 23, 2021 This game needed a goal. Both these teams were just feeling each other out. It's going to be more open now.
Devil Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Not been impressed with France so far this tournament.
El Profesor Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Jota didn´t get the memo: when in doubt, pass to Ronaldo.

The way he uses his body is awesome.

Machado Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Moutinho has done more in 30 minutes than Fernandes in 180...
