Wales to win. If not, this tournament is dead to me.

(Which isn't far off from what it is now tbh)
Even those random Portuguese dignitaries look bored shitless by their national anthem.

Wales to get pummelled imo

Ronaldo you insufferable cunt
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:09 (seven years ago) link
good chance of a penalty tonight
― ogmor, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:11 (seven years ago) link
xxp to Ste - this Portugal side not in a position to pummel anyone, Wales are far more of a team, bizarrely they dont seem base their whole game round trying to find their superstar
not calling either way right now bcuz my predictions for this tournament have been awful since day 1 but really there's nothing more to this Portugal side than there was to Belgium. remains to be seen whether absence of Ramsey / Pepe&Carvalho will tell more

fuck it i'm calling this for Wales, i'm a glass half full kinda guy
Ronaldo bawling already

I guess ITV had difficulty finding a Welsh co-commentator
― Number None, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link
Ramsey already being missed between defense and attack. Bale is mostly picking up the ball now, which means he's not at the front.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:17 (seven years ago) link
ambitious corner there
― ogmor, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:20 (seven years ago) link
not so much of a problem for Bale to be dropping deep if he can waltz through a permeable Portuguese defence whenever he chooses to put his foot down xp
― Windsor Davies, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:21 (seven years ago) link
I thought he was kind of isolated in the Belgium game. Didn't have much influence at all
― Number None, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:23 (seven years ago) link
i buy the michael cox line that bale was drifting to alternately terrorize the fullbacks and stop them pushing up
― ogmor, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:24 (seven years ago) link
well ya but this isn't the Belgium game, twice in the last five minutes he's picked the ball up on the halfway line and rushed past defenders to get off a shot cross xp
― Windsor Davies, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:25 (seven years ago) link
shot OR cross that should be
― Windsor Davies, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:26 (seven years ago) link
I was agreeing with you
― Number None, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:27 (seven years ago) link
it might not be much to hang your hat on but Portugal aren't exactly big scorers so one goal could be enough, Pepe and Carvalho aren't there so Portugal are far more pregnable (lol is there such a word?) than usual, one spilled cross/shot by Rui Patricio and then we're really at the races
i am hoping rather than believing perhaps
xp lol sorry misread that
― Windsor Davies, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:28 (seven years ago) link
so what time does this start?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 19:47 (seven years ago) link
I think these kits have an enervating effect
― ogmor, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:02 (seven years ago) link
Well that's that then

Fuck.

Imperious stuff from Cron though.
He should do a heart sign just to troll everyone.

Germany are gonna gobble this Portugal side right up
― Windsor Davies, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:10 (seven years ago) link
Or France
― xyzzzz__, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:11 (seven years ago) link

Portugal the worst team in a final since Greece surely
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:12 (seven years ago) link
Can't overrate muddling through - I mean isn't that what most of us do in lyfe huh?

I'm mostly watching this in the hope that Ronaldo picks up an utterly undeserved second yellow and misses the final.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:30 (seven years ago) link
portugal are a huge void, an abyss which gazes into the opposition
― ogmor, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link
particularly entropic sense of calm without pepe
― ogmor, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:42 (seven years ago) link
Been optimistic all the way through, but this really is the worst Euros I've seen in my lifetime.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:52 (seven years ago) link
In fairness to Portugal they gave Wales nothing
― Neptune Bingo (Michael B), Wednesday, 6 July 2016 20:53 (seven years ago) link
And have given the watching millions nothing too.
