Day 5: Switzerland vs Cameroon | Uruguay vs South Korea | Portugal vs Ghana | Brazil vs Serbia

I'm confused with how Portugal are playing tbh. Expected them to play similar to how they destroyed Nigeria. Nigeria is better than this Ghana team imo, don't see it working with Ronaldo up front at all.
with their squad they should be among the favourites. Semis at least but they look more likely to repeat their Greek tragedy...
 
Ghana are hopeless. Portugal would have to be awful to not win this.
 
Another quality contribution by Felix
 
Maybe not against this Ghana side but it’s going to be tough for Portugal in this tournament if they don’t score in the first half and aren’t allowed to sub the old fella off.
 
A game so dull, they've only put 2 minutes added on time. As opposed to the 3 hours we tend to get in this tournament.
 
Wouldn't surprise me, Chelsea used to have a knack of having a million players on loan for 10 years and never sell them

Just checked.

On loan at Reading, Chelsea contract expires next year. He's been there since 2015 and has spent every season since on loan.
 
Somewhat frustrated with myself for sitting down to watch 45 minutes of this trash game. And for not betting on u2.5 pre match.
 
Today was the first time I’ve been able to sit down and watch a couple of games. Not the best timing.
 
Ref finally gives a yellow to Ghana, even if that was much more blatant.

Ghana are sitting deep and defending narrowly, but Portugal have no overlapping runs out wide. They've only got to the endline once, deep cross and it disorganized Ghana's backline.
 
Classic Santos, the priority is for players to stay in positions and to not misplace passes so we end up with the usual slow, static possession
 
Ronaldo showing on a global stage why he wasnt starting at United.. garbage player.. Not good enough to be a starter at United or Portugal.
 
interesting that ronaldo also looks like a recently divorced 45 year old trying to fit in, in a nightclub for portugal too.
 
Ghana are shit. Can't press or keep the ball. Ronnie will get his goal.
