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 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Also, love when a group is like this and all permutations (nearly) are possible on the final day.

El Profesor Posted June 23, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted June 23, 2021 Author Administrator Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
