As for that second Senegal goal, cheeky!

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Are they an ageing squad then?

They look it

As for that second Senegal goal, cheeky!

Got to hand it to him, he was on the ball in a flash. Not bad for a guy who'd just limped off injured!

 

[Otis]

Russians through then. Happy days for Mrs @Otis

She is.

She kept telling me they were crap and I said they would do alright in the tournament.

All but guarenteed now to progress.

 

[Otis]

They look it

That don't mean owt.


Look at this guy. He'll be only 32 next birthday.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

Just seen highlights of Japan / Columbia. What a stupid red card so early on, although good save

But how did that free kick go in? Terrible keeping

Best thing about it was him telling the ref it didn’t go over the line. It’s on the ref’s watch. What was he expecting to happen?!

Credit to their country fair play!

Going to show this to my daughter.

She can't even clean up after dinner.

Ronaldo scores early!

 

[Nick]

Nearly another.

 

[Rich]

He's a shoein for the golden boot/ball whatever they call it in the world cup.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Finished work at 1, 5 minute walk home and Portugal already lead.

Why on the backs of world cup shirts are the Z,'s actually shown as 2,'s ??

I think teams choose there own numbering/typeface so they should all be different.

It’ll be down to the kit manufacturer, all the Adidas shirts have that lettering. Pretty sure ours is the same as Portugal’s who are also Nike.

Close there .
He'd have been offside wouldn't he, If he'd connected?

Who knows!

During this tournament, with these officials, I feel it is always best to just flip a coin.

 

[wingy]

Morroco are an extremely busy hard working side .
Their pressing is exemplary .

 

[Paul Anthony]

Morocco looking threatening at the moment, but we know what Portugal are capable of on the counter if Morocco commit too many forward.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Amazed Ruben Neves didn’t get a call up for Portugal even if he was playing in a league below his ability

 

[Nick]

Ronaldo should have been booked for diving then. There was very minimal contact, then a delay then he dives and demands VAR.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Worst think is Keown saying it should be a pen because there was contact. Never a pen, he touched him and then he fell over.

 

[wingy]

Shocking play acting !

 

[wingy]

Lucky there Portugal .

 

[Nick]

Thats the thing, he touched him and Ronaldo stayed on his feet. Then he decided he wanted to go down and dived and shouted for VAR.

It wasn't enough contact to trip my 9 year old over.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Morocco should have got something out of this game. They've given it a right go this half.

 

[vow]

Pepe, warra c-unit.

 

[wingy]

Last ball and finishing Morrocan downfall, Portugal distinctly average to poor.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Morocco ripped Portugal apart. I hope they go out soon and Ronaldo goes off crying.

Morocco are a decent side, just lack being able to finish it off. Frustrating.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Portugal mediocre but you can be with Ronaldo in the team. Lined up for Russia in the knock outs

 

[Nick]

What did Pepe do?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

 

[wingy]

What did Pepe do?

Think he made out he'd been elbowed. .
Up there with One of Ramos' specials.

 

[Ashdown]

This Amrabat chap who played very well for Morocco......plays in the Spanish 3rd division.....don't suppose he would like a switch to the English 3rd division. ?

We'd end up with the modern day Paul Hall or Chris Birchall!
