First topic message reminder :
Rooney woeful? I'm not his biggest fan but he's been pretty good so far, working well alongside Dier allowing Alli to push on further
Duty281 wrote:Sterling and Rooney have been woeful thus far and need to be dropped (but 1 of them certainly won't be), but I would favour giving Kane one final chance. He's had an excellent couple of seasons, and England shouldn't jettison him at the first sign of difficulty.

Be surprised if you see Ciaran Clark against Italy, he'll need a hearing aid after O'Neill and Keane are through with him.

Just need Sigurdsson to score to cap off a good day.

Yep you just don't see Ireland having enough to get past the Italian defence regardless of who Italy put there, can see Italy playing out a comfortable draw without much effort.LiamB wrote:Ireland won't beat Italy, just not good enough. The Italian's will make changes, but they will want to impress Conte, going into the latter stages of the tournament. As for Belgium, they're pretty much flat-track bullies, look sensational against Ireland, but when they need to dig in & show fight, they go missing. Just shows you how when they face weak opposition, suddenly Lukuku shows up.

0-0 looks a good bet for that game.

Hungary looked a pretty decent side in their first game.

That will do nicely, £10 on him at 4/1.

I like John Hartson as a person, but he's a pretty rubbish pundit. Just doesn't really give any kind of insight.

Gutted for Iceland.
They've got to get a result against Austria now to get through.

None of the Welsh pundits they've brought do Crimey tbh.
Dean Saunders is probably the worst.

Nani has all the natural talent in the world, hugely frustrating.

Think Portugal have been underwhelming. This is actually one of their more well-rounded squads for a few tournaments, should be less reliant on Ronaldo but they just look out of ideas constantly.

Think playing in this side showcases the slow decline of Ronaldo. He can't carry them really anymore & the back up players are not producing, like the hype might of suggested. Thought they were dark horses, but that looks way off really. Austria very limited too.

Think ronaldo is feeling the pressure, few chances he'd have buried in a real shirt imo.
I picked Portugal to make the final, looks like a terrible prediction but they've a very good squad.

Well rounded mediocrity? PL fans know all about Nani. Moutinho has never cracked the big stage. Quaresma basically retired during the middle stint of his career. Ricardo Carvalho still starts

Added to that Ronaldo who remains one of the great goal scorers is more of an out and out striker these days.
Gomes needed to hit that first time

Gomes is impressing me though, it'll be the touch of death this but I don't think I've seen him put a pass wrong.

Disagree about ronaldo being a striker, think he's poor there. Different perspective of the pitch, more back to goal work etc
If Portugal have any striker of note id play him there ronaldo left and quaresma/Nani right.

It's more he doesn't really do the dribbles etc anymore Ent, he's probably more reliant on his teammates to create his chances than in years past.
Real are capable of it, Portugal less so.

He's changed his game, the dribbles have been gone for a while imo.
Posted a link in the cl final game and ironically he scored a lot more "individual" goals last season than in previous years.

What's Ronaldo's free kick success rate btw, feels like he takes about 10 game that either go into the stand or hit someone in the wall on the shin.

Genuinely think it's pressure, missed a few headers and a half volley in this game alone. Would probably have 2 for Madrid in identical situations by now.

This is a rubbish Portugal team compared to the late mid 2000s . A few talented midfielders and that's it. Austria makes Ukrania look good.

They have become really Poopie in the last 2 years.
Guess they are still all right in training and just not happening for him.

To be honest it always feels like Portugal have Ronaldo, some young talented midfielders, frustrating wingers and no striker worth a crap.

How can you be that far offside from a free kick?
