Equalizer coming if Portugal don't tighten up. Portugal can barely put an attack together now

She doesn't have the best voice and that is from a woman. It is a rather strange voice, a bit what I would call a 'jolly hockey sticks' voice, a bit like Georgie Bingham on Talksport, she irritates me a bit.
It's quite harsh sounding.

Plenty of mall commentators with irritating/awful voices (Jonathan Pearce springs to mind). Plenty with dull voices too, this guy who's been commentating for years and I've never known his name sticks out.

Ronaldo hasn't scored a hat-trick yet.

Messi > Ronaldo
What a stupid post. Criticising him because he hasn't scored a hat-trick with 70 minutes to go? What's Messi done in this WC other than miss a penalty? Messi fanboys :rolleyes: hehe

Morocco decent unit, playing properly too. Good thing I didn't bet here.

Got to give some credit to Santos for ensuring the team is well accostomed to a system that gets the best out of Ronaldo. Not always easy to do that, as one can see in the case of Argentina and Messi.

No need to do all that Ronaldo. That’s one of the reasons I think he’s a tit.

Portugal have been utterly dreadful. Ronaldo aside from the goal has been bad too.

Looked like a penalty to me.

I don’t agree about Ronaldo. He scored one, almost scored another, helped defensively, and he drops deep time and again to get the ball.

The midfield is not looking good at all.

Probably because we just aren't used to listening to her, you get used to the other voices. She knows here facts so that is good, also we isn't coming out with the banal stuff the others come out with, she is just talking about this game.

Probably not called because contact seemed to end outside the box. Should've been a free kick though.

Portugal really lack quality in midfield and upfront aside from Ronaldo. How Joao Mario starts for an international side is beyond me.

Bernado Silva there too.. good talent but bench apperances for City don't really constitute a great season for him.

Red button allows you to view the other live feed from the BBC with 5 live commentary but it's not in HD, better on the ears though.

Bernardo is mentally weak. Sub him off and get Gelson in.

Morocco are missing the cutting edge. Not bad, but they are just not good enough in this WC so far
