Game 39: Croatia vs Portugal

He has *new Edgar Davids* written all over him. Jury on his footballing brain still stands out, though. Hope it'll shape up over time
Agree. Amazing player, I can believe he is just 18. He is a beast in the midfield.
 
No shot at goal i think.

Yeah and it's more the disappointment that such a player can't influence a big game. Of course he ain't the player he was a few yrs ago and the team around him ain't no Real (or United '08), but.. Oh well, it's a topic that's been discussed to death.
 
Sanches is so strong and he's only 18! God knows how he'd be when he's in his mid/late twenties.
 
Gutted we didn't get Renato Sanches now. Involved in everything. Looks quick,powerful and can ping a pass. That's one hell of a player Bayern got.

He's a forward without service. What do you expect from him or any player in his position?
 
Spanish ref piece of shite

this must be the worst euros ever. jesus christ football was never that boring...
 
Triple ballon d'or and back to back CL winner at Bayern, for 80m € :drool:

...sorry, where were we?
:mad:

I really like him. He's only a kid but I think he'd become a more attacking version of Essien. I wasted so many hours watching Benfica's game thinking he's ours! Well that's life I guess.
 
Incredible. Actually found a team worse than us on free kicks

It was not meant that much as critisism but more as an objective observation. There's not much he can do by himself and it's not that he would've done much wrong... Just thinking to myself how I've barely seen him tonight.
 
Both look tired. This is Portugal's 3rd game in a week where as England will have had a whole week off by Monday before they play Iceland. What on earth is that formatting about?
