Portugal have been a bit one-dimensional and seem to think they don't have to try to beat us. They seem to be trying to tee up Ronaldo for his record a lot of the time so we're able to mark him out of the game.

I know big Shane isn’t worried but I was thinking more from an United point of view.
Hope Bazuna keeps developing. His comfort on the ball is such a positive for this team (bar the penalty hiccup).
Bazunu looks like a star. Pity he is at Citeh
Yeah he’s been marked tight but I never seen him so static and easy to keep out the game.
Just get out of here with a point.
I thought the game was on tomorrow so just put it on. This camera angle is shocking.
Getting that air of inevitability about Portugal scoring again.
He’s 36.5 years old ffs. I think we need to drastically lower expectations. I think he will make a terrific squad player/option off the bench but I don’t think he’ll accept that and I have a horrible feeling Ole won’t have the stones to take him on. This transfer could end up being an absolute disaster IMO.
Ah that's a ridiculous dive - just square the ball to Idah you clown.
Right on cue Connolly with the dive
He does work hard though Connolly
Of course you turn in to 1970 Brazil when I bet against you.
I mean I've just seen your left back casually back head the ball into his own penalty area and find his centre half. It was both beautiful and annoying.
Did Doherty get a yellow for running off the pitch too quick?
So basically Dan James
Yeah I’m not expecting him to be the Real Ronaldo but I get a uneasy feeling that the premier league might be too much for him. I really hope I’m wrong about that..
Channel?
Connolly was knocked over there surely
Sometimes you look at these players and wonder how they ever even made it that far.
He should score there.
Wait he's been barged in the back. So it's not a foul.
RTE2 if you're in Ireland. Otherwise I've no idea
That was a clear pen, no?
Definite penalty. Has VAR just given up?!
Nice bodytackle from behind. I guess only assault counts as penalty this season
I thought so. He was barged in the back as he took the shot on.
I know mate, I hesitated before doing it too, that usually means my instinct is saying no.
I warned you before about betting on Ireland games.
Errrr, that looked handball to me...
Yeah RTE2 I couldn’t find it on Sky
nuno mendes, don’t do it to me man!
feck this ref
I reckon you're seeing this out y'know
I can see why this Portugal manager isn't fancied. So much less creative thn the sum of their parts.

Yeah they've a much better team on paper than they ever seem to show.
I’m going to say what we’re all thinking about Aaron Connolly: his hair is a hate crime.
Ah I really don't know the pressure is building.
Yeah, It was better the old days with the three lads “Ronaldo one trick pony”
We'll be doing well to get away with a 1-1
He's a puffball Bill! A cod!Yeah, It was better the old days with the three lads “Ronaldo one trick pony”
Connolly dives a lot doesn’t he
His face is a hate crime.
