    Hey remember,

    we didn't win the World Cup today. We played with form, form to remember.

    Pretty sure the same starters next time, bit instead more defensive subs. Anyone else notice all our subs were offensive?

    Maybe I should read Santos interviews, he probably explains this.

    Depends what Santos does… I don’t fear any team but Morocco look confident, can’t count them out.

    No he didn't. He said they played bad. Said we played great from front to back and wished us luck. What do you want him to say that they played good.

    Guys, my lucky cuecas helped, lol, BUT I posted this article previously, and this man!!! He has something special going on, I think ! , midas touch, I'm a believer myself so I tend to side with him ( not that I think God is keeping score but...) ....But something is happening. Win or lose. This is good from him, thinking man here regardless, and showing some courage with his decisions

    this man learned that when you disrespect a person’s kindness and take it as a weakness, you must pay. Today we made this man pay with his life

    I've changed my stance on Santos he will now bring us the cup and he will smoke a whole pack when we lift the trophy you heard it here first. After that he'll host a massive sardinhada that will stink up all of Doha. Pao de milho and vinho do porto will fill the rivers of Qatar (do they have rivers?)

    Someone post that Santos cigarette smoking pic for me

    Star is born but whats wild to me is it feels like this team has been bottled up for a bit but I can't find any person who would even suggest the team can play this way. They bumbled through qualifications and it looked ugly.

    Its like, hey, you guys could have been playing like this the whole time?

    But you have you to beat England.. If I hear "It's coming home" one more time I am going to leg drop the entire English team.
    This Portugal team can beat anyone on their day. I just hope and pray they play with the same intensity as they did today.

    Two of the goals scored by Ramos, my nephew could have scored.

    but to score three is unexpected and a confidence booster.

    Santos can’t be that dumb to tinker against Morocco, they are well coached.

    The implication here would be a story for the history books. Please don't entice such hopes this early lol

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves and lets take one game at a time. We still have to beat Morocco who defend very well, create chances and are physical. Probably a much tougher opponent than Switzerland.

    Yes but they were also dead after 120 minutes but I agree they will come out with that same physicality.

    However spain also abuses the possession game while we play possession but also much more vertically
