Almost a second.
Portugal players need to pass to Ronaldo quicker.
Good chances missed in the last game as well.

So far: a penalty, goal from open play, free kick and a header. A Bicycle next?

Nah. Some will say it is but I disagree. For example I personally hate listening to any american commentators (at least for football). Just feels so off. All personal preference.

Only 7, he more than doubled his tally in this tournament.
So, if he gets a hat-trick in both of these games, which is highly likely even though Iran play very defensively, he would be only 4 goals to equalling Klose's record? Pretty achievable for a monster like him if you ask me.

It's probably sexist not to like any woman commentator.

To find this one shit or annoying is just your own objective opinion, nothing wrong with that.

Though her pronunciation of Portuguese and Moroccan names already sounds 10X better than anything i've heard from Keown and his rabble of ex footballers come shit commentators.

Morocco getting plenty of chances here. Portugal need to be careful. Sloppy so far

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.

Portugal cannot defend at all.

It was Georgie Thompson and narrating a review show is different to commentating on a live match.

Her analysis has been fine though. I remember her first ever commentary on an MOTD match and it was awful so she's improved a lot since then, though that was aaaaaages ago.
