Turkey have actually officially changed their name to Turkiye and asked to be called that.
Amazing atmosphere.
Why are Portugal still playing a 41 year old CB instead of a quality 20 year old on the bench?
Huge Turkish diaspora in Germany though?
Well sort of, none of them actually do choose the right players though.
I'm not talking about tactics more talking about system and having a team that's at least decently balanced and well drilled. You can tell Germany have that.
As opposed to just trying to throw the best 11 players on the pitch and hope it works.
Although Southgate's tactics actually hurt rather than help. Even ETH just mentioned that Southgate goes too conservative and sits deep after scoring a goal.
Ronaldo snapped the Turkish defender like in the good old days.
Stop asking the same Pepe question over and over again. He still starts because he is always one of the best portuguese players in the tournaments. He was very good against the Czech so he deserves to start. At 41, he's still better and gives more guarantees than Silva or Inacio. It will probably be his last tournament.
They always try to force it to him. It's quite frustrating.
Ronaldo thinking it’s 2007.
I see. Just hoping for lots of goals personally
The same reason they start Bruno and CR7 together.
Agreed, people really underrate him. He's still one of the best CBs in world football and was absolutely brilliant against Arsenal in the CL.
It's the Cristiano black hole tactic.
True I'd rather see Pepe than CR7 + Bruno together up front.
Not a foul that
Christ why is Bernardo such a shite player for us. Terrible.
At least we have more men in the box before the cross. First game it was Ronaldo almost always alone there.
We do need to diversify the target man for the crosses, can't always cross to him. Cross to someone else to shoot or cross to the farther post to assist Cristiano in the middle.
Now that's funny, I would expect nothing else from MoyesMoyes called Czechia Czechoslovakia today.
Leao really looks like a goat with that hairstyle and not the good kind
I don't rate Martinez but anyone could see that. Even the Spanish fraud saw it.
Pepe saved Portugal there.
To be fair, every City player apart from Rodri has been space jammed at this tournament.
That's really nice play .
Pepe still got it
Conceição should play and not Silva
The Ottoman Empire are playing well here
Seems true for every City player. Maybe they don't realize their national team can't play like City and they have to adjust their game.
Goal. Bernardo.
Had to be Bernardo
You were saying?
Bernardo Silva scores.
Heh
Portugal really fortunate that Ronaldo slipped
Portugal lead.
This is a great game so far. Plenty of goals in it still.
It was a jinx I suppose. Hopefully he regains his form and confidence.
Cristiano falling over was hilarious. Just fell like a sack of shit
Let's go!
Good finish by Bernardo.
