One game shouldnt change anything, last match vs Roma he was immaculate. He's "inconsistent", thats always been his issue. However Cedric has been so so poor for Southampton that Semedo should be starting right now,
True, but personally I think Lopes should be rotated in as a starter every few games. Kind of like how they used Renato Sanches during the Euros. Also, I agree with the other statements about Semedo. He has his lapses defensively here and there but he should be on the WC squad.
Cedric was at the heart of both Southampton goals at Arsenal and he's always been solid in defense for Portugal, so I'm not worried about his starting spot for Portugal. He and Semedo were both guilty of being pushed out of the way for decisive goals from corners, but I prefer that to the way other defenders allowed goals in the most recent Southampton and Barca matches.
Wolves won again thanks to an early goal from Jota and a golazo from Neves: Watch: Neves nets a wondergoal for Wolves
Lopes scores his 9th in eight (13th of the season) games in Monacos 7-1 defeat away to PSG that secures the Ligue 1 title from Mónaco who won last year. https://www.publico.pt/2018/04/15/d...a-monaco-e-recupera-titulo-de-campeao-1810468
Fellow Portuguese National team fans, I’ve thought long and hard about revealing a job contract offer I received late last year. My wife has told me not to reveal what I’m about embark on but I feel like apart from my brother perhaps only my online Portuguese soccer family could fully comprehend how excited I am. I will be working for FIFA as the Portugal team cameraman. I will be staying with the team, filming interviews with players everyday, their training, travelling with them to games and on the sideline for all of their games. I passed on this opportunity 4 years ago due to my wedding but I was fortunate enough to be offered the work again. I’ve attached a letter from FIFA below with my name and FIFA number redacted but I’m sure most of you will understand how pumped I am.
Wow, sounds like a great job man. Especially for a hardcore Portugal fan like yourself. Congratulations! I've enjoyed reading your posts on here for several years., you seem to be one of the more knowledgeable posters on this site. I hope you come back on here after the World Cup and share some of your experiences and maybe some photos. Have a great time in Russia, and stay safe.
Wow so incredibly happy for you bud. Congrats !!! Talk about a dream job !!! All the best bud, you deserve it.
That’s great TSO! I hope it is all it should be, and one of the greatest experiences of your life. Enjoy!
Only watched the 2nd half of the semi-final FA cup match, but Cedric had a good game. Better than I've seen him in the last few months. Hopefully he'll keep it up for the WC
Thanks guys. Pretty strict rules on what I can post and share in terms of images but I’ll share with you what I can. It’s actually professionally a really easy job in terms of what I’ll actually be doing and I’m losing a bit of revenue going but I don’t care hehehe. I’m working with a champion journalist too so when you see all the pre match interviews in the coverage and footage from your local rights holder I shown that isn’t match vision, that will be what I’m doing. One of my good mates is the cameraman for Spain so it should be a fun first game on the sidelines with him.
Interesting to see where he goes if Southampton get relegated. He’s such a solid player surely one of the top six need a player like him
It would be interesting to see how different the players and staff from what is projected in the media or what you subjectively deduced from the media and what they are like in the living flesh. A great opportunity, plus you get to visit Rússia, a historic country, which I am guessing you would not otherwise have gone to see. Enjoy!.
Thanks I’ve been lucky enough to work with a fair few sucessful high profile people across various industries and people are often surprised by what people are really like. I was in Russia during the 2012 SOCHi winter games for work and also shot a episode of of a factual television program in Chernobyl.
