Got the ball, zero intent to harm another player, just an unfortunate collision. If he completely missed the ball and whacked the player i'd understand but Lloris did his job.

Commentary; 'anywhere else on the pitch and it's a foul' yeah but goalkeepers by necessity have to use their arms and he got the ball.
Imo it's equivalent to going studs up/2 footed with a slide tackle and getting ball and man at the same time. Overly aggressive so it's still a foul. He literally could've killed Danilo there

I think freshness is and will play a big role in this tournament. Deschamps should've rotated against Hungary, they look leggy now. In contrast Renato and Moutinho are controlling the midfield.

Italy will have an advantage in the next round due to rotating

I think a United shirt would look amazing on Renato Sanches.
Said it a few weeks ago mate! He is another Tielemens. Had a rough couple of years, after his initial hype, but he will be an amazing signing for whoever takes the cheap punt or otherwise he'll cost a bomb in a few years.

How has Danilo passed concussion protocol.
I don't know anything about knocks, but I guess maybe a ball hitting the fist before his head takes some potency away.

Still seemed a well hard knock though.

He didn’t get the ball. He completely missed it. It just so happened that it then deflected onto his hand afterwards.

I think Danilo has been brilliant this tournament. Renato is having a great game too.

That doesn’t allow you to punch somebody in the head. Keepers get away with far too much. Should be punished every time they jump with their knee in the air too.
The punch was after he got the ball and a completely accidental collision. I get where it's coming from, the same argument is used for tackles where you get the ball and the man but it was just a freak incident.

Danilo has looked good in all of Portugal's games so far (yes even against Germany)

PSG, but not playing a huge role there somehow... Perfect for us to snatch.
Technically strong, tall...
Yeah that would be a great signing. To be honest there are a few of them out there that would cost much less than Rice and offer just as much or more.

Behind the right goal post as "Whiteside shoots!"

probably thought (wrongly) he would beat Hungary and could rest in this game

Trademark feigned remorse from Silva there to escape a yellow for a tactical foul.

Fernandinho holds classes on that 3 times a week at the Etihad.

i don't think the ref is calling this game down the middle, should 100% have been a yellow card for that pull back.
France have been doing that non stop and getting away with no yellows. I remember Pogba, Tolliso and I think Kanye.
