QF | Spain vs Germany | Portugal vs France

Ronaldo has been poor and struggled to get into the game.

At the same time, Portugal have created feck all in chances.

Portugal struggle to create chances because they have a cone up front that barely moves
 
Did players used to celebrate tackles back in the day?
Not to that extent, don’t remember Vida high fiving folks after sending someone up in the air, he was just doing his job.
You don’t see postmen congratulating each other for the delivering the mail, that’s their job.

Genuinely feels like its a trend that Diogo Dalot started last year when we won against Liverpool 2-1 at OT.
 
I find it weird people think this is a boring game, first half was decent but lacking end product and this half has probably more xg than all of our games combined.
I’d find it weird if people didn’t think it was a boring game. Atrocious attacking from both teams. Both played to safe
 
If it goes to pens Portugal go through.
 
No he's definitely up there. Annoyingly.

It’s very annoying indeed especially when he and Fofana were teammates at St Etienne. We signed the unlucky cripple while Arsenal signed the guy who ends up among the best in the world.
 
Martinez giving Southgate a run for his money for completely taking the joy out of football. What a fecking bore.
 
Honestly, look at Mbappe and Dembele on that Thuram break, get in the box you twits and give him an option.
 
This might be a controversial opinion but I loathe Lineker as a pundit. So smug and pedestrian with the banter, presenting, questioning and narratives. It's almost a parody of clean broadcasting + lads humour trope.
 
Why are we talking about Saliba, Rudiger and Dias as best Cbs around. Pepe is on the pitch!
 
Only students of the game like you and I will see this game of chess for what it is. These peasants just want to see Zorro v Ronaldo.
:lol:

Who you rooting for? Portugal, for me! I really wanted Bruno to score the winner but that ship has sailed.
 
We’ve all been making jokes, but it’s actually a disgrace from a serious perspective that Ronaldo is still on the field. You hire a coach on a huge salary and you expect him to effect change within a match; and yet the most obvious sub in the history of football, he refuses to make. Sacrificing his most creative player in order to keep this mummified icon out there.

It’s actually making me angry at this point. Is there some sort of contractual agreement that prevents it? Because Ronaldo has offered NOTHING. He’s been worse than horrendous, he’s been completely anonymous.
