Game 39: Croatia vs Portugal

Judging a player over 3 and a bit games isn't ideal but from what I've seen of Andre Gomes, he's been poor. Certainly not worth the big figure being mentioned.
 
Well. If any of the teams plays like that on thursday, I'm not too much scared.
 
Good sub by Santos. I hope Sanches will give us energy
 
Renato is great. Physically strong and got good control to match it
 
glad Sanches did not go to City or Chelsea. Looks like a beast and only 18.
 
Time to ban international football
 
Rakitic has put in a couple of really good balls in and no one attacking it.
 
I like him actually. He would be great in the PL. Willy C, however, we dodged a bullet there, he is just too slow and ponderous for the PL IMO.

Agreed. Not been too impressed when I've seen him, he seems to have the 'raw' ability but after the amount of games he's had, you'd think he'd have shown more. Renato only got into the first team in October/November this season and he looks fantastic.
