Administrator Stan Posted November 30, 2022 Administrator Posted November 30, 2022 Kick-off 15.00 (GMT) VS Venue - Education City Stadium, Al Rayyan - Portugal just need a draw to finish top - South Korea have to win and hope Ghana lose, or win by more than 2+ goals if Ghana draw
ASF Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Starting XI - Diogo Costa; Dalot, Pepe, António Silva and Cancelo; Rúben Neves, Vitinha, Matheus Nunes and João Mário; Ronaldo and Ricardo Horta. Would have rested Pepe for this game, considering he came back from an injury. I think António Silva will do well. He has been great this season and the fact he's only 18 is not a worry. Vitinha should be good as well. Surprised to see Ricardo Horta. Would have put André Silva instead. Let's clinch the top spot and avenge 2002. 0-3
Administrator Stan Posted December 2, 2022 Author Administrator Posted December 2, 2022 1-0 to Portugal. Ball over the top to Dalot isn't defended by South Korea, and he crosses for Horta to score from 6 yards out.
Administrator Stan Posted December 2, 2022 Author Administrator Posted December 2, 2022 South Korea equalise! Makes things very interesting for the group...
Administrator Stan Posted December 2, 2022 Author Administrator Posted December 2, 2022 Why was Ronaldo ducking out of that?!
Administrator Stan Posted December 2, 2022 Author Administrator Posted December 2, 2022 Son is ridiculously selfish.
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 2, 2022 Subscriber Posted December 2, 2022 Dalot is having a good game shame no one could get on the end of that cross.
Administrator Stan Posted December 2, 2022 Author Administrator Posted December 2, 2022 South Korea score!!! Uruguay out as it stands...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 2, 2022 Subscriber Posted December 2, 2022 Son came through in the end. Great pass
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted December 2, 2022 Subscriber Posted December 2, 2022 Another display of just pure determination. Congrats to the Koreans they deserved it in the end. Didn't give up and came through. Now they have to hope that Uruguay don't score another goal.
Machado Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 I'm happy for Korea. I wrote somewhere else I wouldn't mind losing this game if it meant they qualified. Enjoyed watching Vitinha, Pepe and Dalot. Everyone else was trash to be honest. Ronaldo particularly annoying and wasteful. Having a moan when he came off too, like a proper captain...

His first half was similar to Lukaku's performance last night, except he moves and finishes even worse. That's not our only problem though. Plenty of out of form players. Neves is a joke of his former self. Leão's attitude is weird, doesn't seem to play for the team, so I can see why he doesn't start games. Back to Ronaldo though, he was bearable when he scored 50 goals a season, now all we're left with are his pathetic antics. Bernardo and Bruno Fernandes for instance are both 28. It's sad that they'll be 32 come next world cup, probably having accomplished nothing for the national team, and possibly retiring from the national team shortly after Ronaldo. I don't even have a problem with 'old' players at all, specially when they're not a liability, like Pepe, who is easily still our best center back. We seem to be wasting a good generation of players in the hands of a very questionable manager who seems to bow down to one player. I find it hard to get behind this team these days.

N U F C Posted December 2, 2022 Posted December 2, 2022 Fair play to Korea, don’t think anyone gave them much of a chance. Them and Japan are great stories to come out of this tournament so far.

Don't get me wrong it's embarrassing when he flies into an 8 footed studs up challenge and ends someones career then cries as he's sent off. This one he's entitled to.

ASF Posted December 3, 2022 Posted December 3, 2022 Most players didn't seem arsed about the game, which is pathetic. We score goals and, instead of our players showing more spirit and determination, it has the opposite effect. Switzerland will be, by no means, an easy opponent. We have more quality, but they have showed they can upset better teams than them.
