Day 19: Morocco vs Portugal | England vs France (QF 3&4)

I don't remember Southgate winning a Euro.
And a Nations League where we beat Netherlands without the antics we saw yesterday (and that's incredible since it's us).
 
With the cnut not playing I can cheer for Portugal and Bruno and Dalot whole heartedly. Let's go!
 
I'm going 2-0 Portugal after seeing the starting line ups. Morocco missing 2 key defenders (Aguerd and Mazraoui).

Also going for 3-1 France (Serious prediction but also an attempt to jinx it).
 
No expectations. May the best team win.
 
I dont want Ronaldo to win anything .. and in general, I would back the underdog..

Fully expect Portugal to destroy Morocco.

We won't destroy Marocco. At this stage I can't see any team do that.
 
I got nothing right yesterday, so I will try again today:

Morocco 0 : 4 Portugal

England 1 : 3 France

Easier to cheer for this lot without the virus in the lineup.
And they list the players by position.
 
Surprised at Neves coming in for William or a real DM. You're playing 4-1-4-1 essentially... Pretty bold to think Ruben Neves can be the 1.
 
Portugal will probably win but seriously doubt it will be easy. Morocco's defence has been absolutely fantastic, only conceding 1 goal in the whole tournament (an own goal). I'll say 1-0 Portugal but I won't be too surprised if this also goes to penalties tbh. Would be incredible for Morocco if they manage to progress to the semis.

Yeah can they achieve what Cameroon in 90,Senegal in 02 and Ghana in 10 couldn't do
 
Aguerd is the best ball playing cb of Morocco, pacy, agile. El Yamiq is perhaps a bit stronger and could be a hidden weapon on corners.

Mazraoui is weaker on the left than on the right but he is a key factor on counter attacks. The replacement has done reasonably well when he has played but it is a clear downgrade.
 
3-0 Portugal. They are going to get a goal around the 33rd minute and score two more towards the end of the game.
 
Only sort of relevant - and sorry I can' find an online link, it was in the Sun print version: claims that Ronaldo was in line for a large new contract from United
 
Just realised Aguerd is injured. Poor lad is never going to get to play any consecutive games for West Ham at this rate
 
Big test for Dalot, feels like Boufal is the type of winger he could have problems against.
 
Imagine missing a bit of eye crust with all those cameras on you, you have to be really careful
 
2-0 Portugal
2-1 (Pens) France
 
Ronaldo puckering his lips like he's posing for an insta post when the cameramen go to him
