Please score, Ramos
Day 19: Morocco vs Portugal | England vs France (QF 3&4)
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
And a Nations League where we beat Netherlands without the antics we saw yesterday (and that's incredible since it's us).
With the cnut not playing I can cheer for Portugal and Bruno and Dalot whole heartedly. Let's go!
I'm going 2-0 Portugal after seeing the starting line ups. Morocco missing 2 key defenders (Aguerd and Mazraoui).
Also going for 3-1 France (Serious prediction but also an attempt to jinx it).

Absolutely no chance
No expectations. May the best team win.
Ronaldo on the bench?
yes
The weaknesses in our backline is Maguires agility and pace. Either that or Mbappe starts on the left and drifts to the right channel to cause havoc. Would be stupid not to.
AgreeThat is one sexy line-up page. Great design. Listed by position and not by number too
You know what they say, if you have a successful system, you should definitely change it drastically.
I dont want Ronaldo to win anything .. and in general, I would back the underdog..
Fully expect Portugal to destroy Morocco.

We won't destroy Marocco. At this stage I can't see any team do that.
Yeah Utd social media team take noteThat is one sexy line-up page. Great design. Listed by position and not by number too
I got nothing right yesterday, so I will try again today:
Morocco 0 : 4 Portugal
England 1 : 3 France
Morocco 0 : 4 Portugal
England 1 : 3 France
And they list the players by position.
Easier to cheer for this lot without the virus in the lineup.
Dembele is good enough to do it (punish Maguire).
Hoping for a Morocco win. But I don’t it’ll happen.
Nah, no chance. Portugal are too good.
Especially missing Aguerd and Mazraoui
Surprised at Neves coming in for William or a real DM. You're playing 4-1-4-1 essentially... Pretty bold to think Ruben Neves can be the 1.
That’s true.
Portugal will probably win but seriously doubt it will be easy. Morocco's defence has been absolutely fantastic, only conceding 1 goal in the whole tournament (an own goal). I'll say 1-0 Portugal but I won't be too surprised if this also goes to penalties tbh. Would be incredible for Morocco if they manage to progress to the semis.
Yeah can they achieve what Cameroon in 90,Senegal in 02 and Ghana in 10 couldn't do
Aguerd is the best ball playing cb of Morocco, pacy, agile. El Yamiq is perhaps a bit stronger and could be a hidden weapon on corners.
Mazraoui is weaker on the left than on the right but he is a key factor on counter attacks. The replacement has done reasonably well when he has played but it is a clear downgrade.

Brazil were “too good” for Croatia in a lot of people’s eyes yesterday
Same team vs Poland. At this point the starting XI is pretty much set, barring injuries or managing to qualify while playing horribly.
Dalot giving it absolute socks. Legend.
3-0 Portugal. They are going to get a goal around the 33rd minute and score two more towards the end of the game.
Only sort of relevant - and sorry I can' find an online link, it was in the Sun print version: claims that Ronaldo was in line for a large new contract from United
Maybe you're looking into the wrong peoples eyes
What the feck are you on about?
Just realised Aguerd is injured. Poor lad is never going to get to play any consecutive games for West Ham at this rate
The passion from Dalot during their national anthem was class
So hopefully that was the manager putting his foot down.
Big test for Dalot, feels like Boufal is the type of winger he could have problems against.
Imagine missing a bit of eye crust with all those cameras on you, you have to be really careful

2-0 Portugal
2-1 (Pens) France

Ronaldo puckering his lips like he's posing for an insta post when the cameramen go to him
