They won't get a chance.  That'll be Portugal or France's honor.

 

*sadface*

 

Would have loved seeing English pundits be mystified as to how some bush league Serie A nobody's could beat Gareth's Lionhearts.

 

I would make them big favourites against Portugal tbh.

Glad this Chiesa is coming on, boss player. @Jairzinho 

Yeah, he's top class. 

 

Really like this Italian side. They control the ball well, defend well, press intelligently, the fullbacks get up and down the pitch, good keeper, the wide players work hard, and they've got a proper finisher. 

 

They don't have anyone as good as Mbappe or Kante, who make France the best in the competition, but it's such a balanced side.

They look very good since their cagey first half against the Turks.  I still think Portugal's performance wasn't that bad at all considering the circumstances and they can only get better.

 

Still, you're looking at that Portugal side and thinking, average goalkeeper, shit right back and a 40 year old Pepe.  Yet, they're clearly amongst the best.  So many old players still knocking about now.  Couldn't believe that Zhirkov was still playing for Russia.

Seb Larsson was playing for Sweden.

Portugal have loads of class attacker but seem to lack a proper centre forward to tie it all together. They're like the 2004-2008 sides that had Ronaldo, Deco and Rui Costa knocking about but had to stick the likes of Helder Postiga up front.
