Excellent sportsmanship from CR7.
Don’t care how skilled he is, he’s trash.

As much as I don't like him I felt a bit sorry for him walking down the tunnel

I’ve seen players get emotional after losing games but walking off the pitch without embracing your teammates or congratulating the opposing team says more.

I didn't see the entire match but Pepe blaming the referee 100% for the loss smacks a bit of sour grapes.

Portugal we’re poor - final ball in was nearly always bad - lacked composure once they went behind

Yeah the referee was fine. Last night both Argentina and the Netherlands could have major gripes, that guy was a clown, but not in this match.

I thought the ref had a good game except for the second yellow. He didn't buy the Portuguese throwing themselves to the floor at any contact.

Yeah me too. I think that’s a really poor take. One of the best players of all time showing a bit of emotion after loosing out on his last chance to win the big one. In that scenario I’d want to get out of the public eye and back to the relative sanctuary of the dressing room as quickly as possible too.

I thought that was yellow. Studs up. If it had been his first yellow no one would have blinked an eye so why should that make a difference for his second?

It was a close call for sure but the ref had shown some leniency previously and he barely touched him. By the book the ref was right I spose but in the context of the game I thought it was harsh.

So predictions…..


England 2-1 in extra time

I mean, Pepe had a chance to tie the game in extra time and missed the goal completely with his header! So yeah, keep blaming the ref

“Jordan Henderson a breakout star at age 32”

England not getting the decisions. Looked like a pen to me.

Yeah same. So far it’s been a bit cagey from both with England probably just about edging the play but France looking so dangerous up top and having got the great goal.

Yep - Saka needs to try and stay upright a bit more cause the ref ain’t buying it
The Kane foul was a penalty for me

Yep and we have to stop giving the ball away in midfield.

 

[Englishbob]

I'd like to see Saka take a shot on when he cuts back inside. It's definitely on for him.
