    Macedonia scores on a long-range deflection (I think) to make it 2-1 after Portugal had like five good chances to make it 3-0.

    Macedonia just pulled it to 2-1 but for now, the goal means nothing as Portugal needed to score 4 anyhow to overtake Slovakia. Either 4-0 straight, or a 3 goal win, scoring at least 4 - (4-1, 5-2 etc.)

    So many missed chances.

    Cancelo just had to square it back when he shot from a tight angle, we had two open players.

    Bruma inches from our third goal.

    We need Guedes on for Iuri Medeiros or Podence, both have been average.

    Macedonia putting in a third CB killed the game for us.

    Pacencia missed a sitter.

    We need a quick goal again in the second half otherwise we'll start becoming frustrated and making wrong decisions like we were the last 15 minutes.

    Great feed from Medeiros to Podence for a slick finish for 3-1. One more to get the spot in next round.

    That's it, we're out.
    Poor finishing costs us, as usual.

    Bruma scores and Diogo Jota gets sent off, for no reason.

    Neves missed a glaring header at 3-1 but other chances were missed, typical Portugal.

    Bruma scores at 90'.

    Then Jota gets sent off from one of the worst straight reds I have seen, perplexing to say the least.

    This. All of this, from the likely useless late goal to the red card feel all to familiar as a long time fan. Was it here or elsewhere I read someone saying it's inevitable we'll only go back the reputation of the "beautiful losers"? :mad:

    4-2

    We were up 2-0 within the first 20 minutes.

    Unforgivable to concede 2 goals to that team.

    Too many missed opportunities.

    Also FIFA is so corrupt, we need one goal with a few minutes left to bypass Slovakia, and the Slovakian referee gives a straight red card to a portugeuse player when he himself was fouled.

    The commentator, who are trained and told to be as unbiased as possible simply said "Thats a extremely puzzling decision"

    That says it all.

    This team was better than the top 2 teams in Group A.

    Bruma is going to be a beast if he continues to grow an actual brain.

    Also Ricardo Horta and Jota offered nothing when they came on.

    I'll never understand what Rui Jorge sees in Ricardo Horta.
    Could have brought Helder Costa or Gil Dias to the tournament instead.

    The U20 were better as they played to their potential. Big names and Big disappointments in this U21 side, the only player that really shone was Bruma.

    What?

    We were by far the second best team in the tournament besides Spain based on the performances of every team so far.

    Semedos stupid mistake during the last seconds of the Spain game cost us.

    LOL how do they allow a Slovakian ref to ref a game that has implications on Slovakia's team? That's some Liga Sagres level sh*t right there.

    Out in the group stages for me that is a failure with this side. The same Spain side that had to go to play-offs to get into this tournament. A team that could not get the result needed against Macedonia. Not impressed. The days of accepting self-inflicted defeats with a smile are over. We have to hold our selves to higher standards. Failed.
