I was very impressed with the tidy ness and calm of the Tunisian defending in the 2nd half until that final set piece.
I'm telling the wife... Babe... Tunisia is a lock, worst case a tie.... there's no chance England are coming away with it... look at how disjointed their play is, look how long it takes Sterling to make a pass, look at him get dispossessed again... then Kane with a header totally unmarked 3 mins from time She doesn't want me to bet anymore but I'm going to anyway
Poor Egypt, the first two goals they allowed this tournament were terrible and now Russia puts them out of the tournament barring a Saudi miracle tomorrow.
This is really good. At first I thought it was another article about Portugal not being good enough aside from Ronaldo, but it is actually more about the challenge of figuring out how to make the most of Ronaldo's ability based on lineups and styles of play: http://www.espn.com/soccer/club/por...portugal-around-cristiano-ronaldo-think-again
Yeah. Even though they played only Saudi Arabia and Egypt I will be nervous for the next round IF Portugal is able to make it through and has to play Russia.
I think both those teams would be a tough battle. I'd expect Portugal to win but it wouldn't be a cake walk. First things first we need 3 points tomorrow
Btw there is a real knob in the WC thread general Portugal, Spain, Iran, Morocco called persianfootball. it is a pity as there are some really good Iranian commentators there, I am going to stop posting there. My aim is to troll against teams I do not like while not getting a yellow card. This is not an invitation to go there but as some of you do and as I do not want Portuguese posters to get banned I thought I might say something here. I am going to stick to the other threads and wait for the Portugal-Iran thread and if we go through and Iran (who I like otherwise) does not I Will be trolling persianfootball then, without getting a yellow. I know this is childish but its the WC and might as well have some fun with him.
Cannot wait until England gets elliminated, they win a game and all of a sudden they can take penalties
Welcome to experience of the Asian Cup in 2015. Some of the Iranian posters are shocking trolls and delusional. Don't waste your time.
no bullshit, my power rankings based on what I seen so far. 1. Spain 2. Portugal 3. Brazil (looked good first half) 4. Belgium 5. Russia
A few are "over-confident" but have a good reading of the game and know Iranian football, after the 100th long post you tend to just read now and then, thats ok, but somehow thinking that Iran used genius tactics against Morocco (a good but very inexperienced and Young team) and only managed a win by an own goal in injury time (second victory ever at the WC after about 15 games), and now they all of a sudden Iran are anything but a bunker counter attacking-set peice team which many of the lesser sides are is just absurd. Btw who won the Asia Cup 2015?
Thanks for the information Btw I am Portuguese/South African so... No chance of tampering with the ball in football (Home test series win at last).
