CFuller Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I can't see Portugal getting past the last 16 playing like this. Even if they end up facing Russia, I would not automatically make them favourites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just now, Sid1984 said: Ronaldo has done fine. Scored and created a big chance for Guedes. The rest of the team need to not just rely on him. He was clinical with his chance and it was a good chance created, but other than that he's not done anything. But as I said (and as you suggest) the rest of team need to raise their game. He's not really had any chance to do anything else, so I'm certainly not criticising him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

outlander Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Just how on earth Pepe didn't get booked here? That is what irks me about the awful standards of refereeing in football.

Patricio has had nothing to do despite Morocco looking dominant. Either way, Morocco were the much better team. They had chances but Skied most of it. Ziyech btw is defo good enough to play for any top club. Surprised Barca are not looking at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anti Spiral Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Morocco played pretty much the same in this game as they did Vs Iran. Dominated but useless once they get near the goal. After 180 mins of playing "well" but not really troubling the goalkeeper you don't deserve to go through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunmaN1905 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Nothing I hate more than the term deserved in football. Scoring is the most important aspect of the game. They leave one of the best scorers in game's history unmarked during a set-piece and then are unable to convert from 5-6 great chances. Why would they deserve anything more if they're incapable of taking their chances? They couldn't score against Iran, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigmatic Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Yeah, have to feel a bit sorry for Morocco going out after being the better team in both their games. But **** me, there must be someone on a Sunday league pitch somewhere that can do a more convincing impersonation of a defender than Guerreiro today. He was up against Amrabat, not Messi. Beginning to understand why people complain Ronaldo isn't doing all the defending as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArsenalFan7 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Can't say it enough this tournament but more naff refereeing. Near 40 fouls and blatant cards ignored, FIFA is making their officials look stupid here. I think the only ref that actually had the balls to get his cards out was the Zambian ref, fair play to him. Portugal teased me into thinking it'd be a decent game but the turgid 1-0 I expected. Can't complain about the results at the end of the day but they'd probably be the hipsters choice of side with an exciting outlook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
