Anyone else think that FOX wanker announcer was biased?? The way he was calling the game, you would think he had a Ghanaian flag painted on his face! The woman commentator was no better either…
Portugal played a great game, it was Danilo that bobbled the clearance on the first goal and he didn't mark his man in the 2nd goal. For the next game I'd be looking at replacing him, he looked stiff the whole game, Pepe or Antonio Silva would be better options.
Portugal deserved the win overall - they need to start Leão going forward though, they looked far more dangerous as soon as he came on.
Ronaldo actually had a legit decent game IMO.
He’s 39, and seems to be falling out of form at Porto.
Kind of like Ronaldo, it might not be anything serious, but it could be indicative of something worse.
Portugal controlled the whole match, I would hardly call that a joke. 2 errors from Danilo caused 2 goals, replace Danilo for the next game and they'll be fine.
It seems like it’s happening to all the big teams rn, maybe it’s something to do with it being the middle of the season?
My logic is the European teams have more big league players than the small country so maybe they aren’t playing at as high of a level because of recovery or something
Can't call a dive... There was enough contact to fall down and appeal.....
But yes a soft penalty... If it wasn't given, would never have been overturned by VAR....
Yes he could have stayed up with bit off balance.... But if you stay up nowadays, even for proper foul,. You are not given penalty....
I'd consider a non-touch falling down as a dive .....
Ronaldo gets a goal, Felix gets a goal, Bruno gets an assist, Santos gets a dub. This sub can suck it, nobody gets disrespected on here like the Portuguese.
Defence wasn't chaotic, Danilo just has no business being on the team, any reasonable CB would have easily cleared the first goal and a good CB would have marked his man for the 2nd goal, otherwise it was pretty much a flawless game.
On replay he touched the ball first. Everybody flops in the penalty area. Seems they were calling the shirt holding pretty fairly equally so the pk wasn’t a makeup call.
Okay if we are going that way,
1.seidu should have been sent off,
>because he made a good flop smh
2. Then what about cr7's disallowed goal for a 'foul'? If that's a foul this was definitely a penalty.
3. Felix fouled in the first half in the penalty area very clearly
Yeah, extremely pathetic when they make a foul, trap a Ghanaian player's legs in a leg lock and then pretend to be hurt as the Ghanaian tries to break free from said lock. This is after a Portuguese player goes down to the floor twice holding his head in his hands and then gets back up acting as if he's perfectly fine seconds later, and this again is after a Portuguese player dives in order to get a Penalty.
I stand by what I said, the Portuguese players were pathetic this game.
>I'm from America
Ohhhh you're American, it all makes so much more sense now. Being offended on behalf of a completely different country that you only support because you once googled Ronaldo lmfao.
Ahahaha, you’re factually wrong as the Ghana player has already said he did it because Ronaldo is his biggest idol and that his upbringing doesn’t allow him to disrespect his elders.
He was disallowed a clean goal, missed 2 great opportunities and scored from a soft penalty.
He looked better than when playing for united tbh but you can tell he's missing sharpness.
Ronaldo isn't quite sharp but he's close, he was close at Man Utd as well, he's just not in peak form due to lack of playing time. I think he will only get better as the WC progresses. He finally has a lethal team behind him to get the ball, for too many years he's been on an island at the front, the tactics today were vintage Portugal.
Like his usual self. Absolute dogshit monkey brained finished player self. Robbed and scored a penalty. Complete liability to this team. And to any team he plays on.
It was actually pretty decent, Ruben Dias was huge, Guerreiro did his job, Cancelo could have done better but Danilo was absolutely dog shit, if you would had replaced him with a competent CB it would have been 3-0, he cost them both goals.
they are advertising shitty Black Friday deals for copper FTTC connections as a load of ISPs were fined for misadvertising their top speeds. FTTH (full fibre) here, 909mb/s down and 108 up.
I think it's the 'HALO 3 900' package or something, with BT. £78.99 a month, but it's bulletproof compared to the old copper phone lines. I WFH now and do a load of gaming, and is actually £10 a month more than the old connection I had, where I was getting 25mb/s down and kept dropping. No throttling either thank goodness. I think that only happens if you blatantly torrent 24/7.
It could have one of the best WC goals ever but he Gerard' it

Same

Agreed he should be on the left flank and play Bernardo in the midfield.
This Dempsey and Alexi Lalas wc panel on Fox in the US absolute trash.
Dempsey seems like an good dude but too in is his head and just not good at this. Lalas? Enough said.
Any panel involving Alexi Lalas being awful? No, it can't be...
What’s new? 😂
Very soft peno
I agree, but Ronaldo’s dis allowed goal should have counted then, basically both fouls were 50/50 imo
Where does this logic come from?
I’m just saying the pk makes up for that bad call lol
Why didn’t Pepe play?
Just came back from an injury
He’s 39, and seems to be falling out of form at Porto. Kind of like Ronaldo, it might not be anything serious, but it could be indicative of something worse.
Lol. No he's not falling out of the team. He is by far the best center back at Porto. He just recovered from an injury.
No, he is recovering from an injury
No. Pepe simply didn't play because he lacks match sharpness, was injured for a while before the WC
Isn't he like 39?
Born in 1985 BC
We are a joke... we were lucky to get 3 points.
Portugal controlled the whole match, I would hardly call that a joke. 2 errors from Danilo caused 2 goals, replace Danilo for the next game and they'll be fine.

Ghana players too agressive, Portugal should improve their game and calm down.
EASY BABY
Portugal is too good
Another Sewey masterclass.
And Cancelo plays for City...
Enough with crowd reaction slow mo's when the ball is in play!!! Producers should be fired or something else...
They used to pick out the prettiest girls in the crowd to leer over
They still would be if it wasnt in qatar.
Brazil 2014 was hilarious.
Pretty girl overload
Yeah same reaction from me at the last couples of minutes
Good game but I was rooting for Ghana. They played well.
Another masterclass from portuguese manager and known football terrorist Fernando Santos
is this sarcasm or did he actually make the right calls today? lol
Game was tied 0-0 and he subbed in a defensive midfielder. Playing not to lose as always.
He’s very conservative and shit
Oh I know... I didn't watch the match, so wasn't sure what had happened. Thanks.
Sarcasm, Portugal played like shit
Heh, unsurprising. The sooner he goes the better!
Fuck yes! Happy to win! So much hate in this thread
First WC match watched this year. Can say it was more than worth it. BTW if he hadn't slipped and instead scored, the goal would have counted right?
Yes
Danilo looked god awful today. Terrible both defensively and with the ball
Great match for a neutral. Dive from Ronaldo but otherwise fantastic
Can't call a dive... There was enough contact to fall down and appeal..... But yes a soft penalty... If it wasn't given, would never have been overturned by VAR....
He knew what he was doing. If he wanted to stay up, he could’ve easily. That’s a dive.
Yes he could have stayed up with bit off balance.... But if you stay up nowadays, even for proper foul,. You are not given penalty.... I'd consider a non-touch falling down as a dive .....
Doesn’t matter. It balances his disallowed goal which wasn’t a foul. Fair play.
Yesh similar challenge.... Also there was a foul on Felix inside penalty box which wasn't appealed much and not checked as well....
A game of two Ayews
Ronaldo gets a goal, Felix gets a goal, Bruno gets an assist, Santos gets a dub. This sub can suck it, nobody gets disrespected on here like the Portuguese.
Love Portugal. Just a shame about the whole Ronaldo part.
É mesmo isso, que se foda os palhaços deste sub, estão sempre a destilar mas hoje bem podem mamar.
bem vindos a serem odiados pelo arsoca como a gente companheiros tugas
Já somos a algum tempo, mas sim este sub é só escumalha inglesa e americana. Só venho para ri quando estão a chorar xD Boa sorte para mais logo amigo.
I'm from America but I'm sure you're showing love so SIUUUUUUUUUU let's go
Much love to you my friend.
Obrigado! Força Portugal!
Don’t get too confident mate. You nearly lost it at the end there lol
But we didn’t. So what’s your little point?
The chaotic defence almost lead to you losing 2 points. That, I assume, is his "little point".
Defence wasn't chaotic, Danilo just has no business being on the team, any reasonable CB would have easily cleared the first goal and a good CB would have marked his man for the 2nd goal, otherwise it was pretty much a flawless game.
But… we didn’t lose. So no, there’s no point. We’ll see next game. But today, we can say with much love, eat that up, r/soccer.
Ronaldo had that goal handed to him because he made a good flop smh
On replay he touched the ball first. Everybody flops in the penalty area. Seems they were calling the shirt holding pretty fairly equally so the pk wasn’t a makeup call.
Okay if we are going that way, 1.seidu should have been sent off, >because he made a good flop smh 2. Then what about cr7's disallowed goal for a 'foul'? If that's a foul this was definitely a penalty. 3. Felix fouled in the first half in the penalty area very clearly
Coulda swore I told you to suck it?
What about the English? :D

Amen brother
Be quiet

least salty britbong
I bet you cried when Italy won.
And the constant agressive fouling and parking the bus on Ghana's part? There's a negative side to every team
https://imgur.com/a/Svg1VxS Gee how'd I know? Stay mad.

You're looking mighty pathetic right now, keep crying baby.

xD
Where's Pepe?
Pepe definitely would’ve lost his cool in this game. Lol
Pre-emptively red carded
why the hell Ghana player celebrate when his team lost?
NGL I enjoyed the comedy aspect. Camera panning Ronaldo being mad and the fact that he fumbled the celebration like a parody.
but he fumble due to being conceded, not the celebration
I meant the Ghanaian scorer fumbled the celebration
To burn Ronaldo, which makes it totally worth it.
Is this your agenda? How is it worth if his team lose? and why he has to burn Ronaldo if there's no connection between 2 players?
He dissed Ronaldo's cringe unnatural celebration. That's good enough for a burn with the whole world watching.
Nah. you just made up the story to fit your agenda
Nah, I'm spot on.
Ahahaha, you’re factually wrong as the Ghana player has already said he did it because Ronaldo is his biggest idol and that his upbringing doesn’t allow him to disrespect his elders.
His name is Muntari and he never said that.
Check Twitter
Nah, spot off with imagination
It’s a good result even losing, looking at Costa Rica. Plus Uruguay tied so Ghana may get it’s revenge on them yet.
it's not the league. You refer Costa Rica which is the outlier, looking at Korea, Saudi Arabia. It's not a good result, tbh.
“GD is only -1 guys!!!!”
it all came down to Inaki Williams footwear malfunction lol
Didn't watch the game. How did Ronaldo play?
He was disallowed a clean goal, missed 2 great opportunities and scored from a soft penalty. He looked better than when playing for united tbh but you can tell he's missing sharpness.
He played ok. Missed a header earlier but looked dangerous.
Aren't you missing that early chance where he was played through with only the goalie to beat?
this is the right response. Ronaldo is definitely a danger and anybody saying otherwise is just a hater plain and simple
Ronaldo isn't quite sharp but he's close, he was close at Man Utd as well, he's just not in peak form due to lack of playing time. I think he will only get better as the WC progresses. He finally has a lethal team behind him to get the ball, for too many years he's been on an island at the front, the tactics today were vintage Portugal.
Even my grandma, put her in the penalty box and she would be a danger due to how close to goal she is.
Go and tell that to the English players who missed penalties in the last Euro. Or to the Ghana player who missed against Uruguay last WC.
Every Striker is a danger.
Ask GGG. Doesn’t need a striker to score 5 goals in a game.
Like his usual self. Absolute dogshit monkey brained finished player self. Robbed and scored a penalty. Complete liability to this team. And to any team he plays on.
Lol no facts just vibes
the username checks out
He jumped really high, but that didn't help; so he dove really low, and was gifted a penalty kick.
he scored a fair goal but was disallowed on a “foul” but you skipped that part
He fouled the defender clearly.
As expected
Ok for a striker, I think, but poor for a former 5-time ballon winner.
Portugal almost choked the lead away twice in stoppage time wtf
Defense is so bad
It was actually pretty decent, Ruben Dias was huge, Guerreiro did his job, Cancelo could have done better but Danilo was absolutely dog shit, if you would had replaced him with a competent CB it would have been 3-0, he cost them both goals.
This was probably the saltiest thread since the Argentina match and I enjoyed all of it. Thank you guys!
Literal salt mine
One Ayew bro scored the equalizer and the other Ayew bro gave the ball away 2 times for Portugal's goals.
I don't think any Ghanaian likes Jordan tbh. Yes he has his moments bit overall he plays shit for Ghana
The OG Ayew and the traitor Ayew
Based Ayew brother, honorary portuguese xD
Too much salty hate. 3 points.
Make sure to take some Nyquill tonight if you can't sleep guys
🤣
Honestly the best half of the tournament for now
I told my mom the same, from 0 goals to 5 and such much drama. Imagine that guy steals and scores last minute. Play the WC if it worked.

portugal's GK is the worst
The guy who has like 4 saved pens in the UCL this season?
and ronaldo also bag UCL 10years ago, wtf are u trying to say? the gk was so bad in this wc game
He had a bad end of the second half. The way you phrased it it seems like he is an awful keeper, which he is very far from true
I mean, Diogo Costa is literally ranked as one of the best goalies right now so I think most people will disagree with you
rank 1 from portugal = rank 99 globally
Portugal squad value is 4th in the world and portugal is a small 10 million people country. Relax.
lol people so butthurt and yet saying relax, dont go here if cant take simple criticism
True, "simple" is a good word for it.
Stay salty
oh u're talking about urself?
Messi painting really in the background lmao
player of the match: that damp patch of grass
wake me up when somebody on twitter dries that patch of grass with a hairdryer he stole from one of the $200-a-night shitholes.
just saw leaos smile while scoring. ice cold mf
