What was that footage then? Looked like they’d hacked into someone’s phone in the crowd 
Day 7: Portugal vs Morocco, Uruguay vs Saudi Arabia and Iran vs Spain
- Thread starter K2K
- Start date
Portugal were far better vs Spain. Both defensively and on the break... and in possession. Very sloppy and 2nd best all over the pitch today, though its somewhat understandable as Morocco have to give it their absolute all while a draw wouldnt be the end of the world for Portugal and still leave it in their own hands.
Yeah, aside from Ronnie, Portugal are pretty shite.
Been finding B. SILVA to be very limited and overrated. He has been lucky city have kdb and real Silva, otherwise he would have been called out more often for being mediocre.
He’s still an excellent player.Remember when CAF went into a meltdown after City signed B.Silva last summer?
Portuguese Juan Mata, except Mata is more productive than him.
B.Silva was really a good player when he moved to City. Bench really ruined him but it's Pep so gets a free pass from everyone.
How’s that not a foul?! Referees in general have been shite this World Cup, and have been saved by VAR.
Well he scored 9 goals for City last year despite being on the bench a lot. That's been his usual tally for Monaco.
Ref pointing to the ball So you can completely wipe out a player as long as the ball falls to one of your teammates next?
So you can completely wipe out a player as long as the ball falls to one of your teammates next? Yes. They just don’t look focused and Morocco is pushing.
They need another goal today, though.
This is frustrating. Morocco deserve to be level but they aren’t getting enough men in the box. Will be a really interesting last 25.
Surprised Guedes is still on tbh.
Bernardo Silva has been disappointing. Guedes not so much because he's showing to be the player I expected, despite having a good season at Valencia. He's a hardworking winger / support striker with decent ability, wont improve from there.
Portugal really are abysmal but they were in the Euros and won it so...
Well, poop.
I am curious as to what exact role does Joao Mario play in the Portugal midfield . The game seems to pass by him and he is either chasing a Morocco player or fouling one .
How is that a foul... this ref has been terrible.
They foul us at the start of every counter yet he’s warning our players

Is the Wolverhampton midfielder not better than William Carvalho?
You were clear in saying you don't like her voice. Others have said she sounds like she's never commentated on a match before (i.e. intimating she doesn't know what she's talking about or even openly stating that she doesn't have a clue). I wasn't referring to those that simply don't like her voice, I don't like it either, that's fine because it's subjective.
I'm not telling you what to do, at all.
Why do the Moroccans insist on spending this much time in the Portuguese final third when they know its preventing Ronnie from scoring a few more goals.
Portugal team are shite at attacking. Ronaldo is carrying them
All that hype for Ziyech. I’ve been saying for years, the guy is Eredivisie level. He will go the route of Davy Klaassen en Brian Ruiz. As we say in Holland: “Te klein voor het tafellaken, te groot voor het servet”
Seeing the state of Portugal's midfield and defence I think Messi would have retired by full time .
Not saying it does absolve her of criticism. Her voice (and Chiles' too) grates on me. It's absolutely fine to say she has a terrible voice.
IMO (and I'm fully aware it's an opinion) she's commentated well despite her voice, she knows what she's talking about and has actually been better than a lot of the male commentators I've heard with her analysis.
If people wanna say she's shite at her job then I wanna know what she could be doing better that makes her so shite and that's the problem.
Which is fine but there's a difference between having a terrible voice and being a bad commentator.
He's a nothing player. Never seen him do anything good with the ball.
It's not Ziyesh's day.
Portugal’s very sloppy.
Imagine if Morocco were actually any good, Portugal would be fecked.
How is this Portugese left back a proffessional footballer and I'm not
Portugal really are the perfect example of why buying Ronaldo would be perfect for us (if it was possible, and it probably isnt). Portugal play shit but Ronaldo drags them through games, and even has them winning cups.
Who can explain Ruben Neves omission from this squad? It’s not as if Fernandes, Joao Mario and William carvalho are particularly technical or creative. Is it any wonder they can’t retain the ball? For the life of me, I do not see how having Neves come off the bench could be worse than this?
This is more the Portugal I'm used to seeing.
I feel like Portugal could have lined up with just Ronaldo and Rui Patricio against this Morocco side and the score would still be the same.
Poor game, two tight teams fighting for the same hopeless balls over and over. Morocco have a lot of energy, very little skill.
Gelson actually trying to take people on and create some space which is good to see.
This Portugal team doesn't really have much about it though in midfield or defence. A team with more attacking quality than Morocco and Portugal would've been punished.

They are toothless. Really frustrating indeed.
Martins has been shocking
Morocco look so much better than Portugal.
