Azeem Posted June 25 Posted June 25 Portugal already qualified and playing a weak opponent ? Ronaldo hatrick coming Quote
OrangeKhrush Posted June 26 Posted June 26 Costa; Dalot, Danilo, Silva, Inacio; Palhinha, J. Neves; Conceicao, Felix, Neto; Ronaldo. That is still a very strong team that many other teams would love to put out. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted June 26 Author Administrator Posted June 26 Ronaldo booked for dissent. Quote

Administrator Stan Posted June 26 Author Administrator Posted June 26 Liking this ref. Taking no shit. Did well to spot the Neto dive. Quote
Gunnersaurus Posted June 26 Posted June 26 I would feel abit sorry for Hungary if Georgia win tonight. The opposition had something to play for in every game they played. Where as Portugal are already through as group winners. At the same time, come on Georgia Quote

Devil Posted June 26 Posted June 26 The whole set up of the qualification from these groups needs reviewing. Last Euros it felt harder to go out than qualify for the next round and its the same again this time round. Teams have qualified from winning the first match, it's a bloody shambles. Quote

Too many teams qualify for the tournament, too many teams get out of the group stage. The group stages see teams play too cagey, too cautious , just don't lose and make sure you advance to the knock out round. Quote
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 26 Subscriber Posted June 26 Why were the ITV commentators making out that was a debatable penalty? He literally clearly kicks him . Some scoreline this. Quote
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted June 26 Subscriber Posted June 26 Portugal have had zero midfield control in this game and it's no surprise really considering the fact that their star playmaker is on the bench with their best attack-minded midfielder too. Still, they've been silly in defense and its cost them. Quote

I don't know I mean to finish 3rd in a group of 3 and get through is pretty generous isn't it I suppose. Like I said I do have sympathy for Hungary but I'd love to see Georgia go through Quote

Certainly it was the first time they expanded but this tournament has had some great games. Apart from England's group Quote

Apart from England's group I would agree with some of the new teams and some of the teams we didn't expect much off have played some good football. But I don't think many of the pre tournament favourites have got out of first gear yet. Quote

If they cared about the integrity of the competition, they wouldn't have done it this way. If the quality for 32 teams isn't there, then they should go back to 16. 24 teams just makes the group stages too weird. Quote
