Haha yeah. But Palhinha has done well so far, De Bruyne also hasn't done anything. But that shirt pull was very blatant Laughing

Ufff, and Meunier just inspired by Quaresma there

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:40 pm

Brilliant run by Renato there

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:42 pm

HAAAAAZAAAAARRRDDDDD!!!!

The Thorgan one just scored a magnificent screamer

I never noticed how much Vermaelen looks like Jude Law

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

THORGANNN WHAT A HIT SON

by Babun Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:44 pm

Never thought of Portugal playing possession game against Belgium Laughing

by Warrior Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:44 pm

THORGAN Hazard 1-0

Great shot this, full power with a tough effect for the keeper

by Babun Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:45 pm

What a goal!

by Robespierre Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:45 pm

The GK though Laughing

It's going to be confirmed the bad GK tradition of Roma ( except for that Sczezsny-Alisson biennium)

by M99 Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:46 pm

Santos needs to get Jota out Andrea put on Felix.

by Warrior Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:47 pm

Now that's a dangerous tackle Laughing

Portugal actually dominated possession in the first half. I guess Belgium are too afraid of having their slow centre backs too high up the pitch. There's really nothing happening, until that magnificent outward spinning screamer by Thorgan Hazard. Then, Belgium were on the ascendancy and Palhinha felt he had to do that dangerous tackle

by Jay29 Sun Jun 27, 2021 8:59 pm

Belgium are playing a smart game. They're defending in a back five to smother Portugal's attacks and using Lukaku, Hazard and De Bruyne who are all fantastic players on the counter.

They're a versatile team. They can play keep-ball and dominate weaker teams, but also defend deep and counter against stronger sides.

Portugal on the other hand struggle to change gears. The support from midfield is just really lacking. Feels like Sanches is the only who can go forward.

Palhinha is a no show. Moutinho and Sanchez are doing their job. I don't know whether Portugal have someone better on the bench. They can't capitalise on their 3 vs 2 midfield advantage because Palhinha isn't doing his part.

by Perucho21 Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:04 pm

We bought the wrong Hazard ffs

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:07 pm

De Bruyne is replaced by Mertens. That tackle by Palhinha was just nasty

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:15 pm

Joao Felix and Bruno Fernandes replaces Bernardo Silva and Joao Moutinho.

Eden Hazard is starting to find his rhytm

by Warrior Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:16 pm

Don't underestimate Dodgugal tbh

Would not be surprised if they win 2-1, Belgium is not that convincing

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:17 pm

Almost by Jota after good run and combination play by Ronaldo

by McLewis Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:23 pm

That was a nice flick from Eden to Thorgan there. With the weak foot too, I think.

by M99 Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:23 pm

This is reminding me of Brazil vs Belgium. Portugalwasting so many chances.

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:29 pm

Wow Bruno was all over Eden there.

Portugal resorting to long shots as of lately.

Andre Silva on, Diogo Jota off

Yeah with his left. He's coming alive now

by Hapless_Hans Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:30 pm

Jota off too late

by Superstone Mariomintsch Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:33 pm

Ronaldo SMASHED Renato's Ass on that freekick just now
