Euro 2020 Belgium v Portugal - ITV 20:00

[Coisty09]

Compelling match.
High standards but canceled each other out to some extent.
Could be good news for England if they progress with de Bruyne and Eden Hazard looking like they might be out of the tournament.

 

[Macky]

There can be obvious exceptions

 

[Main Stand]

Boooo away. Better team tonight!

All things considered, enjoy your night @Jelle1880 . Some proper heroic defending from the old boys at the back there. Belguim are a great team.

Bruno Fernandes? Deary me. Joao Felix was the best player by miles when he came on.

Agreed on Felix.

Fernandes has been gash for a while now.

 

[Blue Baron]

Anyone could win this competition.

Totally agree with you.Denmark has been the stand out team in the last 16 so far, for me

 

[bkerr72]

Belgium have all that attacking talent in their side but they're incredibly boring to watch no interest in attacking when they take a lead. If De Bruyne is out injured then they're in trouble but in all honesty they won't get past Italy.

 

[Roguevfr]

I would open a bottle of MacAllan 18 right now, if I could

A) afford one
or
B) enjoy whiskey.

C) know the difference between whisky and whiskey.

I'll dive into some Stella tonight

Cheers, just seen the thread about it

Just drink toilet water, cheaper and tastes better.

 

[Damask_Rose]

What did Roy Keane just say at the end of that rant, wasn't "feck him" was it?!

 

[Main Stand]

Roy Keane slaughtering Felix.

“If I was Ronaldo I’d be going after him in the changing room”

the same Ronaldo who has been largely anonymous this tournament, goals aside.

(I know goals are the main thing, but you get my points)

 

[eastenclosurebear]

Lol Roy Keane doesn't hold back

 

[Main Stand]

He’s a fanny.

Weird way to brag about drinking toilet water but cool, you do you.

 

[ssblue]

No chance Belgium are winning this without KDB and EH (who was barely fit anyway).

Italy will dump them on Friday and the golden generation will have passed.

 

[BigBuff]

I absolutely despise Portugal and Portuguese players and Portuguese teams

Bit harsh on Dalcio

 

[Clementime]

Very light blue.

It's a cracker imo

Blue and green…

Blue and green…

Should not be seen...

So glad Portugal have been knocked out, they must be one of the most boring teams to be successful in recent years.

Ronaldo aka Penaldo/Tapinaldo is the King of penalties and tap ins. He is still a good player but he has always had a lot less footballing skill than Messi who has relied a lot less on tap-ins and penalties in his career.

CR7 is the King of tap-ins and penalties.

 

[SteVM1872]

He was still immense in this tournament though, the way he slammed those penalties home will be talked about for years. Diego Mexico 86 type stuff

Don't forget he ran really fast in a straight line against the Germans!

Portugal get out Portugal'd by Belgium was amusing after suffering through all their games in 2016.

I don’t like many of their players so I’m glad they’re gone, and CR7 is a phenomenal footballer and his record borders on ridiculous, but it was nauseating listening to the pundits dedicate most of the post match analysis to pulling their plonker to his penalties or as you say, running in a straight line (Neville was the only one decent enough to actually credit Silva and Jota for their perfectly timed and weighted passes which were crucial to providing him with a tap in vs Germany) after games where he mostly stood around and either hit free kicks or PK’s.

Pepe and Fernandes though, there can’t be many players in the sport less likeable than those two helmets. I thought Belgium rode their luck big time and I’m shocked their stand off approach in the second half saw them through. Lukaku would be unbelievable if his technical ability matched his pace and power But delighted for @Jelle1880

That patter is chronic btw.

Messi 100 penalties scored in career.
Ronaldo 139 penalties scored in career.

See Ronaldo get slaughtered constantly for the amount of penalties he scores but there’s not a lot in it between the two players in the penalty stats.

Naw pal, what bot is that?

Calculate the number of tap-ins too, Messi will have score a lot more high quality goals than Tapinaldo.

 

[jcdbluebear]

Good to see a player who keeps his head down when shooting. This tournament has been full of players blazing the ball, miles over the bar. So frustrating

To be fair nearly 30% more is a pretty substantial difference.

Is it not exactly 39% more?
Pedantic Loyal

 

[ForGodForCountryForever]

I find Belgium incredibly dull to watch.

Thats not to say the football is bad, they are of course very talented, its the players who seem very dull.

No personality between them and Id much rather have the likes of Pepe and Ronaldo playing in a game than KDB or the Hazards.

That's the one pal.

Dearie me!!!
