Anyone watching this game vs Croatia? 0-0 at the half. My UEFA TV isn’t allowing me to log in. Might find a streak for the second half. Anyway, was just curious as to how they’re playing.
Good to see florentino is alive. I don’t even think he makes the bench at Monaco weird that trincao is not playing. Also, it’s absolutely idiotic that we called up mendes and Neto when they could have been here
Good subs at half time, we’ve looked much more threatening since then. Lovely finish from Mota to give us the lead
This English team was supposed to be tournament favourites? Lol. They were garbage vs the Swiss as well.
I have no idea why, everyone is very confused over here as to why Aidy Boothroyd is in charge of a really promising group of youngsters. He was a mediocre manager 13 years ago and hasn’t been involved at the top level of the game since then They were never the tournament favourites imo
Vitinha is the exact box to box midfielder our ntl team is crying out for, amazing display. England couldn't touch him or Trincao once he came on. Braganca was a big improvement on Florentino as well...he's stagnated. In that first half he lost a lot of easy balls and lacks a serious turn of pace. Gedson has no business in the XI.
Awful player, surprised hes even here. Benficas worst position is midfield and yet he still wasnt good enough
Guarda-redes - Diogo Costa (FC Porto), João Virgínia (Everton) e Luis Maximiano (Sporting); Defesas - Diogo Leite (FC Porto), Diogo Queirós (Famalicão), Diogo Dalot (Milan), Pedro Pereira (Crotone), Thierry Correia (Valência), Tiago Djaló (Lille), Tomás Tavares (Farense); Médios - Daniel Bragança (Sporting), Fábio Vieira (FC Porto), Florentino (Mónaco), Gedson Fernandes (Galasataray), Romário Baró (FC Porto) e Vitor Ferreira (Wolverhampton). Avançados - Danny Mota (Monza), Francisco Trincão (Barcelona), Francisco Conceição (FC Porto), Gonçalo Ramos (Benfica), Jota (Vallodolid), Rafael Leão (Milan) e Tiago Tomás (Sporting).
Even with no real LB (Where's Vinagre?) and no Inacio...what a team. Hopefully Braganca-Vitinha-Fabio Viera continues to be the midfield because vs England and Switzerland they were fantastic. Take a look at France's squad...it would go for in Euro 2020.
I think the midfield is weak personally. Gedson = trash. Thrift shop Pogba Braganca= trash. Havent really watched him play but I recall reading the sporting forum and seeing @SCP_16 say he sucks. For him to admit a sporting player sucks must mean that player is beyond trash. Florentino = benchwarmer for a whole season. Vitinha = bench warmer for a large portion of season. I can sort of excuse him though because his coach is a dinosaur. Seems good otherwise Fabio Viera= pretty good. In terms of omissions, im suprised Inacio and Joao Mario (porto) were not called. Too bad the dinosaur is still the coach of this team. Will never forgive this guy for losing to Sweden with a senior level team
May have had some emotion with my assessments but Braganca is a solid player. He just isn't ready to be a starting player in Sporting's senior squad. Off the bench, he's had some magical moments (vs Gil Vicente at home, for example). The Inacio and Vinagre snubs were surprising. Vinagre had a solid year, all things considered.
