Croatia has a better team player for player than Portugal and also has a far better collective than Portugal. How can Portugal win this?

Portugal has the best player, who happens to be the best in the world, though.

Portugal has the best player, who happens to be the best in the world, though.

Ronaldo has the potential. His ability to tap into that for the nationalteam tends to vary.

 

[Oersted]

To say what we all think.


This is boring.

The he game's are getting worse!

More like used to be.

 

[Lego Boss]

Pepe!

No you're still shit.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Pepe el terrible.

 

[MrKaepora]

A free-kick that it isn't kicked by Ronaldo and who would have thought...danger in the croatian area.

 

[Shito]

Yeah, kinda hard to make a case for Ronaldo being the best player in the world just when Messi is doing incredibly good in the Copa America at the same time...

When was the last Portugal vs Argentina match?

 

[Oersted]

"I don't know where to play the ball."

The bodylanguage of every Croatian player when he gets the aforementioned.

Bad comparison is bad. Portugal is no Argentina.

All the matches today have been dreadful.

 

[massivekettle]

Where was that Messi in 2014 (i.e., when it really mattered)? Besides, Argentina is stacked.

First game had a lot of goals!

 

[Oersted]

This is about now. And Messi delivers. He even scores freekicks.

 

[Shito]

Heh, not entering that "who's the best" debate since I think it's useless, just making a stand that right now may not be the best time to put Ronaldo on the throne for that when Messi is FINALLY performing well in his national team. And Ronaldo only had one good match so far in this Euro.
Just a question of timing.

 

[immortal-joe]

Croatia doing their best Spain impression.

 

[massivekettle]

This is about now. And Messi delivers. He even scores freekicks.

Copa America is a Tier 2 tournament to the Euro's Tier 1.

 

[Agram]

Ouch!

 

[Envelope]

croatia plz, stop acting like spain

 

[Oersted]

Copa America is a Tier 2 tournament to the Euro's Tier 1.

Hungary.

Austria.

Iceland.

That Tier 1.

 

[Kiraly]

35 min of pure shit

 

[Envelope]

why is croatia doing this backpassing thing every time...

 

[massivekettle]

Hungary.

Austria.

Iceland.

That Tier 1.

3 of the last 4 WC winners are playing in the Euro. There is a reason the best South American players are playing in Europe as well. Leagues are more competitive.

Take this to PM if you disagree. I am done here.

 

[Unain]

Luckily I've got the Rocket League Championship Series running on the other screen, because so far this is sleep inducing.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

So many fouls.

 

[Shito]

And I've got the SFV pools at CEO!
Really disappointed by what those two teams are showing, or rather not showing at the moment.

 

[immortal-joe]

Mario continues to be have some of the worst tactical awareness in the tournament. Missing key passes all the time.

 

[John Dunbar]

portugal's superpower is to perfectly imitate the level of the opposition to make for either dreadfully boring or hilariously incompetent matches. this is an example of the former.

 

[MrKaepora]

If André Gomes stays on the field in the second half I'll be surprised.

 

[Lego Boss]

Croatia best team in the competition?

If so, Poland should be OK.

Your struggle was almost as entertaining as Ronaldo's struggle against Iceland. We are fine.

 

[Omega Kirby]

Local football league here is more entertaining than this, and they're shit here lol.


Hopefully a goal soon

 

[Ghostmaster]

I thought this game couldn't be worse than the theoretical Spain vs Portugal game, I was wrong.

 

[immortal-joe]

If Portugal can sneak a goal then game on.
If Croatia score game over.

True words were uttered.

 

[Tugatrix]

Penalties and be done with this?

 

[Beach]

Yea I'm done with this game
Hope you guys enjoy the second half

 

[Oersted]

Portugal looks more dangerous(atleast sort of), but also more desinterested in participating in the game.

 

[massivekettle]

Ref should start handing yellow cards now. Way too many fouls now.

 

[Alucard]

I want Poland vs Portugal in the quarters. Don't fuck this up for me, Portugal. This is the best chance for Poland. Croatia would demolish them, but Portugal has proven to be all over the place. I'd take Poland's chances in that game.

 

[Bubaer]

Yeah, I was worried about Polands next game. Now, I'm causiously optimistic.

 

[Envelope]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

 

[MrKaepora]

Portugal's midfield and defense seem more reliable but this game is boring.

Hope we have a goal to spice things up.

 

[Stampy]

I'm kinda annoyed with all the Portugal's fouls without any card.

 

[Unain]

Time to go to the most entertaining part of this match.... the break

 

[Shito]

Both teams are scared of each other, they were playing with that handbrake down.
Not confident it will get better in the second half. :/

 

[Hesemonni]

If I had to choose between watching the second half and applying a hacksaw to my dick I honestly wouldn't know which to choose.
