Already can see the lack of inventiveness in midfield without Ramsey

 

[Kiraly]

100% penalty

 

[Rhaknar]

I bet Portugal's shirts are mint flavored.

they actually do smell minty tho, its part of the design

Spoiler

no they dont

I mean maybe they do I dunno lol

 

[Shito]

Not a penalty to me, too "light" a pressure for it.
And Ronaldo tries to oversell it.

 

[Tubie]

Yea, that's a pen.

 

[spekkeh]

Agree with everyone else, these jersey colors are hella confusing, because neither have any relationship to the national colors.

Why are they both wearing their shit away kits?

Their shitkits, if you will.

Because FIFA still parties like it's 1959, and they want as a general rule to have the kits stand out as different on a black and white TV. Both have red home colors, that don't significantly stand out in luminance compared with the other's away kit.

 

[Corto]

A Penalty and a red card saved for Wales...

 

[KingSnake]

Yeah, Wales doesn't seem to be in the game yet. Portugal is the better team on the field.

 

[CrayToes]

Wales look seriously short of ideas. Portugal will look to hit them on the break.

 

[Mory Dunz]

He didn't sell it at all.
He complained after the fact

Similar, but at the same time completely different.

 

[Frustrated_me]

that was a pen

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

Ate they both in their away tops 'cause the ref is in red?

 

[Croyles]

Did anyone hear that Salt N Pepa: Push It kazoo in the crowd? lol

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

Ate they both in their away tops 'cause the ref is in red?

The referee's yellow top clashed with the McDonald's logo.

 

[Hesemonni]

Did anyone hear that Salt N Pepa: Push It kazoo in the crowd? lol

Oh. It was the telly I thought I was imagining things.

 

[Beefy]

Who is the other commentator on ITV?

 

[Baleoce]

The biggest aspect for me is the fact that when Wales have had possession so far, they haven't really known what to do with it.A few stray passes, a few back to the defence, and a few long balls. We need to cut that out quickly. We might not have the lions share of the possession for this game, but what we do have of it, we need to make it count.

 

[Heshinsi]

Jesus Ronaldo not like that bro.

 

[mehrmantrout]

They just need to see this out till half-time

Yea, I suspected this to happen with no Ramsey.

 

[paperboywriter]

I'd Portugal really needs a pen to win this than they have a problem anyway. Let it go

 

[Corto]

Yeah. The midfield is all Portugal. Strangely Renato still a bit disconnected.

 

[Shito]

Portugal should push their advantage more, they could probably score a quick goal if they did.
Wales is trying to slow the rhythm down and you can see that Portugal is a bit afraid to take some risks...

 

[Rhaknar]

Renato is shit today

 

[Rug Monkey]

FIFA don't care if people cheat, especially if it causes controversy and heightens interest in the game with non-or-not-as-yet-fans.

They could stop it easily. They haven't.

[paperboywriter]

Interesting corner

 

[Tubie]

That almost worked lmao.

 

[Tempy]

That's an interesting corner.

 

[Baleoce]

From that angle, and on the slight bounce, I'm surprised Bale managed to get it that close. Nice idea though.

 

[Beefy]

mark bowen

Really really fucking annoying.

 

[number11]

Wtf happened to the defence

 

[Don Draper's Hat]

I love thought through set pieces.

 

[Croyles]

Wow. That was a unique corner!

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Did anyone hear that Salt N Pepa: Push It kazoo in the crowd? lol

HAHA okay cool, I'm not going crazy!

Well yeah, Portugal is defending like they are San Marino facing Germany. Only Wales is not Germany. And Portugal not San Marino.

.

Well played.

 

[Croyles]

HAHA okay cool, I'm not going crazy!

At first I thought it was coming from my Witcher 3 game...

 

[paperboywriter]

Bale playing well

 

[Rhaknar]

Wales better these last few minutes

 

[CrayToes]

The lack of Ramsey in the final third is painfully obvious.

 

[Baleoce]

Joe Allen looks kind of lost in midfield, he's not willing to take anyone on. Playing flat passes, and waiting for someone else to create the move.

 

[KingSnake]

Bale doing all the work.

 

[Shito]

Bale playing well

Bale doing all the work.

Really good start from him.
Both in taking his chances and making his teammates play.

 

[Baleoce]

Well in by Collins.

 

[Croyles]

LOL German commentator was apologetic for being so loud for such a poor shot from Bale.

 

[Markoman]

Renato Saches is the new Edgar Davids. 100% same movement, mentality and body language.

 

[KingSnake]

Allen is the weak point of Wales squad so far.

 

[Corto]

He's still defining himself. I think he'll be more Seedorf than Davids though...

 

[Baleoce]

LOL German commentator was apologetic for being so loud for such a poor shot from Bale.

haha, yeah you'd expect him on his left foot to test the keeper, still a good move to get in that position though.
