    There's a reason why they made the Euro final and won the World Cup... because they're good lol. We can't ever get overconfident over a team like France

    Deschamps has made it clear that his main directive for the Nations league is to find the right formation and tactics to best suit his squad. At least that’s what he’s said publicly.

    The last set of match days they played with 3 at the back. This time around they are playing very narrow with a diamond midfield.

    Huge intervention from Dias bailing out Semedo.

    Man Felix needed to tap that in. Or left it for CR...

    He messed that one up. CR and Danilo had clear views at goal. Could have easily been 1 nil there if he let's it go

    Really good first half.

    I know we didn’t exactly burn the barn creating chances, but very comfortable on the ball and dictating the pace of the game. Very organized and committed defending.

    Semedo is doing well but I would still prefer Cancelo.
    I was only disappointed with guerreiro in that half but he wasn’t even that bad tbh

    France reminds me of us plays super defensive despite having so many great attacking talents

    Felix is dog shit. Not fast enough to win 50-50 balls. Losed the ball and lightly jogging back, like... you're young, you have no ********ing excuse.

    Cancelo is a much better option. All Semedo does is shoot the ball into the side netting when he gets the on the wing.

    If you are talking about right before the half time whistle I agree I was annoyed by that too

    Agreed. Good to see Portugal doing well even though its 0-0. Slight edge goes to Portugal but they need to score.

    Agree. Some cheap turnovers where he had better options. Trying to do too much.

    Good first half. This team is so much better than 4 years ago. I want to hear people say "Portugal relies too much on Ronaldo" :rolleyes:

    Surprised Rafa did not make the squad useful sub late on. Félix the most likely to be subbed as it stands.

    Agreed. Rafa would be great off the bench with the pace he has.

    Damn France pushing more while Portugal keep giving the ball up too easily. Advantage France so far in this half.
