France vs Portugal Nations League 2020 G3

Hahaha Ronaldo caused three France defenders to kick the ball out for a corner

 

Jota in for Bernardo Silva. Hopefully he will give that speedy injection into the line up

 

Big time defending from Dias there

 

Dias again with a great defensive play.

 

Semedo doing well defensively this game too.

 

France have fouled Felix around 10 times. His technical ability is great

 

This team with lots of skills up front and Danilo/William supporting works pretty well. Better than I thought. It's a shame Ronaldo is far from what he used to be, if only we had the Ronaldo of even just 2 years ago....

 

I think Even prime Ronaldo would struggle in a game like this in my opinion. It’s not easy with how physical and defensive France are

 

R. Sanches coming in for Bruno.

 

Yeah I agree 100%. I think France have done very well so far against Ronaldo.

 

Taking off bernardo was a mistake. Jota just keeps losing the ball

 

3 more coming on. Cancelo, Moutinho, And Trincão

 

Felix, Guerrero, and William off

 

Trincão should have shot it at the top of the box...

 

Yup Trrincao was a pussy there he had the game winning shot wasn’t confident enough

 

Welp thats all she wrote on that one. 0-0 draw.

 

Ah, well. Starting XI was the best I've seen in years, but Jota/Moutinho/Renato have no business being there anymore. We have better options.

 

Yeah, deferring too much to Ronaldo it seemed to me.

 

Pepe and Dias were excellent. Maybe the best players tonight.

 

Good defensive game by both teams. Not many clean looks. A few chances for both sides. Player of the match for Portugal, IMHO if course, was Dias. Solid defending through out the game and great to see him doing so against the current World Cup champions.

 

Wow. crazy to hear that.

 

technically the game in 2016 was 0-0 too

 

Fair result. MVP is Rúben Dias, IMO. The worse was Raphael Guerreiro, I think he was hurt though. CR7 was barely there.
