ASF Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 A win in Budapest is essential, if we want to qualify as group winners. Switzerland won't lose any points until the game in Lisbon, so we need to keep on winning as well, if we want to have a chance to surpass them on the last day of qualifiers.

ASF Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good win tonight. Another hat-trick for Ronaldo and it was good to see Nélson Oliveira playing for the National Team, again. I hope he gets called more often, from now on. Time for the big decisions, on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted September 1, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted September 1, 2017 Portugal actually conceded a goal at home against one of the joke qualifier sides (Faroe Islands, Gibraltar, San Marino, Malta - this list is not exhaustive). For shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 3, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hungary been swinging the elbows around all match. Priskin gets Pepe square in the face and he wonders why he's seen red Portugal should be a few goals up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yeaahhh come on Faroe Islands. My boys, we're going to Qatar!!! I'll make sure to wear my Faroe Islands shirt for the next game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted September 4, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted September 4, 2017 Switzerland and Portugal vying for the top 2 spots now. Goal difference majorly in Portugal's favour if they finish level. Switzerland have Hungary at home. Portugal have Andorra away. They then face each other in the final group game which will be very decisive if there's still a 3 point gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted October 3, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted October 3, 2017 Saturday 7th October Faroe Islands vs Latvia Andorra vs Portugal Switzerland vs Hungary Tuesday 10th October Hungary vs Faroe Islands Latvia vs Andorra Portugal vs Switzerland Big showdown game on Tuesday. If Portgual and Switzerland both win then it's down to Portugal to beat Switzerland and they'll finish top. Both have more than enough points to qualify as 1 of the best 2nd-placed teams.

There's 9 groups in qualification and the top 8 best 2nd placed teams go in to play offs next month. The 4 winners of those playoffs go to the world cup. Note though that the top 8 2nd placed teams have their points taken away from their games against the bottom placed team in the group they were in. I think Switzerland and/or Portugal will be fine though as they've got enough points anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASF Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Important win, but I was let down by the fact that we only managed to score when Ronaldo came in. What the fuck? Anyway, Switzerland won't handle the pressure of a full Stadium of Light on Tuesday. 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machado Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Our goal average is considerably higher than Switzerland's. Just need an 1-0 win today and we finish first with 9W 1L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a taste thing but I find this Portugal side much more fun to watch than Uruguay. This Portugal team is more tactical and more about being defensively structured, where as Uruguay as more about winning in the air and beating their opponent in strength. 2-0, thats Portugal in Russia.

The Artful Dodger Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Portugal are very good side, dull or not. You'd expect them to be beaten by the likes of Germany but in a cup competition there always a chance for a decent well managed team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted October 10, 2017 Author Administrator Share Posted October 10, 2017 the co-commentator on Sky Sports' coverage of this Portugal game must have got out on the wrong side of the bed. He's absolutely livid and so frustrated that Switzerland have had no offsides and that Andre Silva didn't get booked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted October 10, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted October 10, 2017 I don't get why there was so much intricacy in front of the goal tonight. Get the ball and slot it, no need to try and run around the keeper or make as many cut-ins with defenders. All said and done Portugal have made it to the WC in Russia.

Guest Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Unless its Brazil, Germany or Italy then a world cup can do without anyone else. I'm sure in the 50's and 60's people were saying that a world cup isn't a world cup without Hungary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but they've only had one great generation even if it was one of the greatest of all time. 5 minutes ago, Stan said: just like it couldn't be a World Cup without Argentina. Hope they qualify. Argentina HAVE to be there! I don't want to happen to the World Cup what UEFA have done to the European Championships... Please, NO! At the moment, today has been a good day for the bigger sides.
