I agree. Portugal will obviously win like they always do against Croatia and the likes. The problem is whenever it’s France or Germany they play not to lose and get dominated.
——————-Lopes————- Semedo——dias—Duarte—-Cancelo ——————-Danilo—————- ————Oliveira——————— Trincao—————————Jota ————-Neto—-Paulinho would like to see this lineup against Croatia
Yeah. Expecting a lot of changes. The game doesnt mean much aside from pride and Santos understanding what he has moving forward. Speaking of moving forward.. I dont expect to see Jose Fonte called up again. Not his fault, but, he just cant hack it no more. B.Silva.. love him.. but.. he has never really impressed me for Portugal. Feel his name and club play a role in his status with the NT.. and it shouldnt.
Its actually the opposite right now. His club status is trash, but hes getting starts in portugal based on his previous portugal performances. Hes our second best player in my opinion. We gotta move him to midfield
ONZE DE PORTUGAL: Rui Patrício; Nélson Semedo, Rúben Dias, Rúben Semedo e Mário Rui; Danilo, João Moutinho e Bruno Fernandes; João Félix, Diogo Jota e Cristiano Ronaldo
pitch is like a potato field HT 1-0 wow what is wrong with our players that can not pass to a team mate in the box all passes going to a croatia player in the box
Ruben Semedo is horrible. Felix has no business on the national team I don't care that he got a flukey rebound goal. He is weak and no where near as talented as he thinks. Turnover should be his middle name. Bruno Fernandes is another over hyped waste. Moutinho is still our best CM by far.
Come on buddy, the comments on Felix are getting tiresome. Just take a look at his matches for Atletico so far this season. It's not translating well to the national team but Santos as a coach needs to find a way to translate all the talent into a fluid dynamic team onto the field, and he's failing to do that. Bruno Fernandes is another example of someone who hasnt been playing well lately for us.
A team with such great players should be able to do better than to nearly be outplayed by a 10 man team. The team is lacking connection. It's a bunch of great players (and a few not so great) but not always a team.
