The other players on the other hand I swear to god Pepe is better on the ball than nearly that whole team. Ronaldo creating for others but they get cought by more hungrier Ghana players and gets into space only for a shit pass to be intercepted easily by the ghana midfielders/defenders.

Their passing looked like it was done between opposition players with how much they tried to avoid kicking it accurately to a team mate.

gosh this Portugal team is dreadful

lol this except for the penalty part

Portugal were so bad it was a joke, which makes the defeat even more painful.

Half of the team looked like they could barely control a ball let alone make an accurate pass

Vierinha, Nani and Veloso

We do well sitting back and countering, but only if we choose to defend in-between midfield and the final third. When we sit too high we are prone to balls over the top, but the real problem is that with this formation we tend to sit too deep and give up a lot of space on the wings (which will kill us against Belgium). Sitting deep has led to all 3 goals going into the game against Germany.

I don't have an issue with the lineups, but we are heavy in the midfield, so I am not sure why Jurgen isn't having the team defend more through possession given that we have shown ourselves more than capable of doing so against most teams.

Regarding Bradley, the formation (and where we have him sitting in it) doesn't exactly fit what we are expecting him to do so the normal channels that would be open aren't there because he is stuck in-between the moving parts of a very defensive formation. When we sit too deep he doesn't have anyone to outlet the ball to but sideways or back, but when we start to press and control the midfield no one is making runs for him to do anything but pass to where the man is standing. For the most part every time I have seen Bradley attempt a pass to where the man should be the runner has failed to make the run. Honestly, I think if we continue with these "tactics" it would be best if we give Jones the tip of the diamond and allow Bradley to occupy the space he loves in-between the central points of the midfield.

Most of all I think we just need to stop showing so much respect to our opposition at the start of the game given that every game thus far we have shown that we can hang with any opposition we come against.

Right now though our defensive tactics do not bode well for the Belgium fixture.
