EURO 2020: Reigning, Defending, Champions Of Europe General Discussion

Given the anticipated weather conditions tomorrow in Luxembourg, I would go with;

————Paciencia—-CR7———
Bruma—————————-B.Silva
————Fernandes-Neves———
Rui———-Fonte——Dias——Semedo
———————Patricio

Bruma has good traction in the rain and his speed would Cause chaos to the luxembougian defence.

 

Watching it live on RTP Play

 

Serbia lead Ukraine 1-0
At the moment, Portugal drop to third.
The pitch looks brutal in Luxembourg.

 

We not looking to good at the mo and Serbia one goal up already

 

New they were going there to open their legs for Serbia

 

This team is too defensive.

Santos is so damn frustrating sometimes. Why are we scared to attack?

The Silva decision is also baffling to me.

 

This is hard and frustrating to watch

 

Lux has now had several better chances than us. Their counters are getting through very easily. We can't pass in the last third. The pitch is brutal but we knew that - have to adapt to the conditions though.

 

Ukraine tie the game.
Portugal move back up to 2nd.

 

My grandfather's potato farm was smoother than this field. Jokes aside, we are sucking. Can't attack at all.

 

The close up of the pitch... jesus. I don't blame some of the bad passes but I don't like the poor dribbles and soft passes by Andre Silva at the top of the box that kill nearly every attack. He has no business doing that. He needs to freaking shoot the ball. That's what he's there for.

 

I don't get all the short passes near the area, just shoot the damn ball.

 

I thought old man Jose Fonte was going to bust a hernia chasing Rodrigues down

 

What a joke of a game. Some of the passes and shots on this pitch look like amateur level by both teams. Just goes to show how important a good pitch is.

 

Get the fvk in

 

Exactly - on such a bad pitch you can't pass your way to a goal.

 

Now let's get the 2

 

Nice goal by B. Fernie

 

Bruno!! Fantastic pass by Bernardo. Great run, 1st touch and shot by Bruno. First real show of class in this match.
