France brought a great team as well...Argentina/Uruguay look decent, and that's about it.
Ya. It was the right call. We’re creating plenty of good chances though. Another goal should come soon.
Korea is getting away with a lot of shit yet somehow Portugal has been whistled for seven fouls to three. Trincao about had his leg snapped in half, Vinagre played through a kick to the thigh, and Leao was called for a foul for simply being stronger than his opponent. Shocking that officials from Tahiti and the Solomon Islands may be out of their depth...
Hope it doesn't come back to bite Portugal. When Korea does get the ball into the final third Portugal looks a bit shaky. That said, Portugal wasn't sharp and was still good enough to have a multi-goal lead.
It’s the opener and the lead came early so I’m not overly concerned but it seems there’s a bit of urgency missing from the side. It really should be 2 or 3-0 at the break.
It's been a low intensity game, which is understandable given that games are scheduled every 3 days. Korea is a typical Asian team, soft and harmless, so all Portugal has to do is staying focused enough and this is an easy win.
I think all three favourites (including us) play today. France up next and they have a great roster including maybe the 4 best defenders in the entire tournament. Then Argentina plays later on.
Portugal played within themselves a lot, held back. Lets see if they play to their full intensity vs Argentina.
