Slovenia really should be winning this.

Portugal look weak as piss at the back and they can't seem to take advantage of some good chances.

Pretty clear that Martinez has no authority over the out of control Ronaldo.

The big mystery to me is how Roberto Martinez continues to get these plumb international management jobs.

Southgates successor...

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ronaldo needs to let someone else have a go at free kicks

 

[Nick]

Why are the commentators going on and on every time there's a free kick? They have all been terrible.

 

[skybluecam]

Ronaldo is embarrassing lol

Entire national team set up just to massage his ego.

 

[Evo1883]

Portugal win a free kick in their own half

 

[Nick]

Commentators just making up scenarios to cream over Ronaldo now

Leao off before Ronaldo

Make it make sense

But why does he take them when they have bruno fernandes

 

[Nick]

Why not bring Jota on for Ronaldo?

He’ll score a shit goal and people will rave about him.

 

[skybluecam]

Because he’d have a strop and stink up the dressing room

The definition of failing upwards.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Ronaldo would rather get eliminated than not be centre of attention.

… and up doing another interview with Piers Morgan.

Mad ego stroking. Portugal could go out here by desperately trying to secure Ronaldo the scoring record.

This and the Belgium Vs France game have lightened my mood about England

 

[skybluecam]

Really hoping Slovenia win this.

Spain the only “big” nation who seem to be in good form. Germany have stuttered a bit and were lucky the other night. Italy out, France were flat earlier and Portugal struggling here.

Tournament is wide open I think.

Or a pen

100% agreed. We’ve had our struggles, definitely but we looked more likely to do something against Slovenia imo. All these ‘smaller’ teams can afford to put 10 players behind the ball to qualify on 3 points. In the R16 they just to frustrate and hit teams on the counter as Slovakia did yesterday.

 

[skybluecam]

Anyone see the linesman there??? He runs 5 yards into the pitch!

He seems to be constantly on the pitch and behind the play, that offside was miles off

 

[skybluecam]

Am I going mad or is the Lino consistently standing on the pitch

 

[skybluecam]

 

[Alkhen]

Ronaldo then, misplaced pass, he stands there sulking while Slovenia attack. Guys a prick. I would love to flick him hard with a ruler on his massive Adam's apple

Georgia didn’t do that in any of the games to their credit, it was a joy to watch compared to the utter shit that Southgate enjoys serving up with far better players at his disposal. Likewise how Spain got the job done.

 

[Evo1883]

The main thing you can moan at ronaldo about is him taking every free kick no matter where it is ..

The balls into box for the most part have been dreadful , the one good chance he actually had he should have put it far post but hit the keeper

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Portugal v Slovenia - 0-0 ‘absolutely brilliant from Slovenia and how they defend as a team’

England v Slovenia - 0-0 ‘England are playing shit and they’re poor, no energy and so on’

More or less what the BBC crew had to say about both games. It’s amazing what a bit of bias does. Slovenia have proven themselves to be a tough nut to crack and had the best chance of the game too. At major tournaments it really pays to be defensively minded.

Ps. Pundits talking about the playing surface as a an excuse for Portugal

They had the least defensive actions per press in the tournament so their style of play was definitely counter attacking. It is because they’re a minnow that the perception is changed to them being more positive than they were in reality.

I liked the way Georgia were quick in transitioning the ball when they won it back. Kind of how we played in 22/23 with Hamer and Vik.

 

[skybluecam]

Wouldn’t mind a penalty shootout tbh

Would like it more if Ronaldo missed his.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I would, it’s set up for Ronaldo to score the winnning penalty and have all the headlines

 

[skybluecam]

If that lino goes any further he may as well play left back for Slovenia

The commentator would fill his pants. He's acted like he was going to score every free kick so far.

Wonder if the pitch is fucked there?
