[Leicester City]

What a boring game

[Sam van Dam]

Why on earth should Portugal play Belgium in perp. for Iran??
I think rather Portugal plays Belgium for their first match
against Spain because of their pace and kick combinations
dude.

its a joke for how poorly portugal is playing. relax bud

[Iranianarsenal11]

Damn… Austria beating Germany 2-1..

[Abtin]

Holy shit Portugal is bad. Like I'm extremely surprised...

[Leicester City]

Bernardo Silva has good footwork

[perspolis#1]

Portugal stepped it up the last 10 minutes.

Their wings are good. Only finisher they have is Ronaldo though

[Abtin]

Hahahhaha Danish commentator said Portugal has been best. God I'm glad I'm not living among those people anymore....

[Taz]

Imagine having all that talent and being as crap a team as Belgium. They're like the anti-Iran. Martinez is such a useless manager.

On Portugal, Gelson's pace will hopefully be nullified by Milmo slightly but the real quality is coming from Bernardo Silva and Moutinho. Ezza will hopefully deal ith the latter.

Portugal is testing a different formation and are playing Martins as a striker.

Ronaldo missing.
Silva - Striker on the bench
Quaresma - On the bench

Normally they play a 4-4-2 formation and today they are testing a 4-3-3 with something like a false 9. So lets see how the second half will be. ANd at the end Portugal needs just one header or shot of ROnaldo

Pouraliganji will take care of that.

Bernardo Silva is dangerous when he cuts onto his left foot in the 18. Need to close him down fast when he gets into that area. Let him cut to his right and cross, its a lower percentage play especially if he is on his off foot.

[Omids]

The game is so slow. Half pace almost. Belgium just drops and defends in numbers when Portugal has the ball. Not pressing at all. I think we would press, press and press some more.

I think that is the danger playing portugal. They have had always top wingers. They wait for the other team to attack and to conter the game.

BTW never understood why portugal didnt Semedo, Neves and Bruma to the wc18. They are really good.

the thing we have going for us is milad will be on his ass (since he plays right wing), if he was on the left on ramins side, LOL. Also hajsafi can cover the inner zone on the right well when he cuts in.

Portugal 0 - 0 Belgium 55 minute
