Michael Posted June 30 Posted June 30 This should be a good game. Slovenia will be hard to crack for Portugal, as getting past their strong defence and world class keeper Oblak is not going to be easy. They will also have to be careful of the world class Sesko on the counter attack. This should be an intriguing battle. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Portugal are obviously the heavy favourites, but this will be probably be a very tough game for them. As Slovenia showed in the group phase, they are a very difficult team to play and they are yet to lose a single match at these Euros. Vitinha and Palinha start in central midfield for Portugal, they look a strong partnership to me. While in front of them Fernandes will be responsible for the play-making duties and he will be flanked by Bernardo Silva and Leao. Both Pepe and Cristiano Ronaldo start again for Portugal, at 41 and 39 years of age, it's quite incredible how their still playing well at this top international level. Dias will partner Pepe in central defence and Dias has been pretty solid in this competition so far. For Slovenia, they are a strong side defensively and they can play a bit when they attack as well. When you have world class players like Oblak as goalie and Sesko in attack, you are always in with a chance of winning even against top opposition. Portugal are strong favourites against Slovenia, but this will likely be a tricky match for them. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Ruben Dias has a shot into the side-netting, he should have done better there. Quote

Bluewolf Posted July 1 Posted July 1 It stuns me how some of these players still think they can get away with pulling shit like that hoping no one is going to notice.. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Free-kick right outside the area has been awarded to Portugal after Leao was brought down. This is a free-kick in a dangerous position, what can Portugal do with this? Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Ronaldo lines up the free-kick, but his powerful free-kick shot goes narrowly over the bar! That was close! Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 1 Author Administrator Posted July 1 Orsato has been good. Solid ref. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 1 Author Administrator Posted July 1 Ronaldo is on the verge of actual tears because he can't score. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Cristiano Ronaldo is not happy with himself with the chances he is missing. Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Portugal increasing the pressure now and forcing the Slovenia defence into fouls and giving away free-kicks. Quote

Rucksackfranzose Posted July 1 Posted July 1 (edited) Having seen this free kick I'm wondering whether Portugal weren't better off without Ronaldo egoistically trying to show how he's still a football hero. Edited July 1 by Rucksackfranzose 2 Quote
Michael Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Palinha's shot from outside the area hits the post! Portugal going so close there. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 1 Author Administrator Posted July 1 Slovenia really grinding this game out. Decent defensive performance to be fair. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted July 1 Author Administrator Posted July 1 Ronaldo needs to give it up man. Give the free kicks to someone else. Quote
