Varela used to be on the books here was he?
Day 9: Cameroon vs Serbia | South Korea vs Ghana | Brazil vs Switzerland | Portugal vs Uruguay
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Brazil, France and England all have much better well rounded squads than Portugal. Spain and Germany probably are equal but have far superior coaches who make their teams better than the sum of their parts.
Crikey, Pellestri made the Uruguayan WC squad.
It may come down to our man Ronaldo -Souness
Shows how pathetic it is to embed yourself into one side of the argument. He’s talked nothing but Ronaldo so far, it’s weirdly obsessive. Every conversation is steered back to Cristiano by him

He played the first game already!
He's not a wide forward and isn't that effective there, particularly on the right. And brazil don't have attscking wingbacks, so they need actual wide forwards
It’d be amazing if we could sign Felix.
Whole buildup will be about a guy who shouldn’t be starting.
Hope he has a stinker.
Portugal should have the 3rd best starting XI in the world cup in theory, but they lack depth compared to the likes of England and Germany
Spain should not be at that level but are because they have the best manager in international football

France was knocked out of the Euros by this Swiss team just only last year. They are incredibly hard to break down.
I wanted to see Suarez vs Pepe
Cavani looking movie star like in that slow mo.
The Golden Oldies WC.
I expect Uruguay to win so I would not even call it an upset.
Portugal fecking suck and have one of the worst coaches in the tournament.
It's really not ideal for them. We will treat it as a game of football, they could very easily lose the plot.
Qualification being on the line should be enough motivation. Trying to draw motivation from that one time when you failed by missing a penalty on the last minute... You see the boomerang effect, right?
Fede Valverde entering terminator mode should do it
France broke them down plenty of times, Mbappe just had a very bad day in front of the goal.
Yeah you’re shit..jokes
We truly are
Well, you are sitting on three points while we couldn't score against Korea who just conceded three.
No de Arrascaeta again, we are broken and whatever isn't broken, Darwin will make sure he breaks up.
In the 20 minutes they bothered to play, they fecking killed them. The problem was their refusal to play more than 20 minutes...
Freaking sourness! Talking about Cruyff … I don’t remember playing him and I am sure he wouldn’t remember me too. Dude the legend is sadly not with us! What an idiot
These join the army adverts can feck-off.
Couldn't believe he said that.
He wanted a challenge
It's the first time I actually see someone saying that and going all in
Snake boy Rice..
Absolutely right, expected someone who had won it all and would not be inspired about picking up a below par team, but the dude is hungry, perfect character.
Rice just said there’s a lot of talk about him and Jude about price tags. Surely listening to that is a mistake when he isn’t leaving? Living up to a price tags is for when you move, not being under pressure from hypothetical fees
He probably had a momentary lapse as he just says whatever comes to mind without care of impact like all his other views like not rating Girroud just recently. Pretty insensitive,
It's crazy, isn't it? The land of Cafú, Roberto Carlos, Dani Alves, Marcelo has to play a centreback at fullback
Souness talks pure bollocks 
What's he on about.
It's the first time i actually believe it
We would start with 10 and end with 10. At least against Korea we got to play 11 after subbing Suárez off.
Portugal getting out of WC (though it won't happen) would be good for different reasons: Bruno and Dalot getting back to United to prepare for 2nd part of the season and Piers Morgan crying.
They are reading Redcafe comparing their 150m + 100m vs the US mids going for 30m tops.
What on earth is all this rubbish on itv for the past 20 odd minutes now
That’s a rugby monologue
What was that cringe Welsh shite
