Haguey Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Could be a classic this. Both teams can win and both teams can't defend. I think Portugal will edge it but hoping for Belgium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) I am not quite sure what Bernardo Silva, actually offers going forward? Seems very poor last few games. Belgium to win 2-1. Edited June 27, 2021 by john1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Reckon this is either going to be the best game of the tournament or the worst game of the tournament. Could give us a crazy end to end 4-3 or something. Could be ultra cautious from both managers because they know they can’t defend, then it ends up 1-0 with a scrappy extra time goal or one of them winning on penalties after a 0-0 draw. Can’t see any middle ground. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haguey Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Dunno, it's probably the most cagey if Portugal score first and sit back and try and counter, but they scored first against Germany and still got smashed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
