Watched on a Portuguese channel, he got rave reviews. Follows on from his u21 exploits, last finish was beautiful. Portugal looking good, goals from different areas of the pitch and a positive approach to the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 As good a performance as any this WC. Such a contrast to Spain’s approach. I think we will get the Messi v Ronaldo show down the world wants this World Cup. For third place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kovacic-Modric-Brozovic finally settled on their preferred 4-3-3 can't lightly dismiss a side with that CM platform. Are Croatia a superior side to Holland? Possibly yes, certainly Holland with their back 3 a bit cautious at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Great goal by Leao to finish that off. Portugal remained clinical in this game, 6 goals from 15 shots (non penalty, non own goals). 12 from 54 in the tournament overall, adjusted for non penalty goals is 10 from 52. Can be a strength and a weakness. Game itself, thought they were bright, incisive, sharp and yes fairly clinical- but can be got at.. watertight they aren't.

Olé Posted December 6, 2022 Report Share Posted December 6, 2022 56 minutes ago, Curr Avon said: Brilliant performance by Portugal! Love to hear your thoughts @Olé. It was unexpected. Portugal under Fernando Santos can be like City, less than the sum of their parts and able to make heavy weather of seemingly easy games. Certainly not free scoring at the highest level since Rui Costa/Figo days.Switzerland I believe were the highest ranked runner up and we seem to play them regularly, losing 3 in 6. But I was there in 2019 when we beat them 3-1 in the Nations League semi and I was there in June when we beat them 4-0 in Lisbon in the same competition group stage. I've watched Ramos a fair bit (Benfica) so when people asked me pre kick off what I thought about Ronaldo I said I was happy for the change as Ramos has a brilliant poachers attitude. With that said I'm sick of the English obsession to find a narrative that makes Ronaldo a failure or spoiled. He's lost his pace and doesn't fit in well when the other two forwards are best in free roles of their own, but he's never not going to support his country or the players around him even from the sidelines. Every media story or comment is stirring plain and simple. Ramos credited his input. Writing a match report on Saturday might be tricky.
