Why do we no longer book blatant diving? Plus, even if the ref had been fooled by it and given a penalty then VAR is always going to overturn it so what exactly is the point?

Ingrained in his DNA

 

[Evo1883]

The quality of football at this tournament is absolutely dire

 

[HadjiChippo]

Obviously not helped by Mbappe getting broken nose in the first game, but France have looked just as bad, if not worse, than us going forward all tournament

 

[HadjiChippo]

If Martinez had some balls he’d be dragging Ronaldo off, offers absolutely nothing except penalties.

But it’ll be Leao off on 75 minutes for Jota

 

[Evo1883]

I think trent is being massively disrespected here , his deliveries are second to none and will be a much better wing back than trippier

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Spain will be praying for extra time in the France/Portugal game, as I think today took a lot out of the Spanish.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Fucking hell Maignan keeping France in this

 

[HadjiChippo]

Dias with one of the blocks of the tournament

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Dias with one of the blocks of the tournament

Celebrated like Bobby Thomas away at Leeds

 

[HadjiChippo]

Thought this game was going to turn into something half decent for 2 minutes there

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

That Mendes is one hell of an athlete, as is that Kam....vinga .(unpronounceable French lad) Edit: can't finish though

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Agree. Southgate clearly only sees Trent as a Calvin Phillips experiment

 

[Paul Anthony]

No wonder France have been struggling to score from open play.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Conceicao waiting to come on, Leao’s probably off

Fernandes off? That doesn’t make any sense to me

 

[LastGarrison]

TAA is suspect defensively though and Trippier is much more solid.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m with Southgate on this one.

 

[LastGarrison]

Thought Cancelo had, had a good game as well.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Ridiculous yellow for Paulinho.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Ronaldo has contributed zero to this game, how is he still on?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Booking for that? You're having a laugh.

 

[LastGarrison]

French keeper probably MOM so far.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ridiculous yellow for Paulinho.

Mbappe conned the ref with the amateur dramatics

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Ronaldo has contributed zero to this game, how is he still on?

That said Portugal have stopped playing it into the box - gone all 'England' around the edge of the box.

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ronaldo has contributed zero to this game, how is he still on?

This Portugal side is here to service his ego. They’re essentially playing with 10 men.

Got Danny Murphy saying “if the ball is perfect he’s so dangerous” yeah like every forward at the tournament

 

[HadjiChippo]

Don’t see Saliba get caught out too often but he was flailing there

 

[HadjiChippo]

Who in their right mind is shooting from that angle from a free kick? Box full of players, what a waste.

 

[Evo1883]

Talking of free kick takers how good was juninho from Lyon , puts ronaldo to shame

 

[HadjiChippo]

Puts everyone to shame, could literally take all different style of free kicks as well, keepers didn’t know what was coming. don’t think he’ll ever be surpassed.

 

[Evo1883]

I've watched so many matches in this tournament and I have to ask , how hard is it to hit a player from a cross ?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

The 'wonderful' Kante has had about 5 shots, all of which have been kicked at the goalkeeper at snails pace.

With that and the Ronaldo free kicks it's almost parody. Not surprised in the slightest that a game involving Portugal would be edging towards penalties from minute one.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

If Portugal go out tonight they will look back and think what could have been if Martinez hadn’t enforced Ronaldo playing.

he has been a total hinderance the entire tournament.

 

[Evo1883]

Mbappe shite
Ronaldo shite
Griezmann shite ( before being took off )

Really poor

A terrible 90 which lacked real quality throughout

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ronaldo has no business playing 2 120 minute games back to back

Get Jota, Ramos or Felix on. The game is there to be won.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Ronaldo should be nowhere near international football.

He should go back to the desert.

 

[Tommo1993]

Eyelid stuff
