Another bore draw

 

[Shamikebab]

There is such a lack of good attackers in this tournament so far. Most of the goals have come in a few games

souness and keane back together lets go

 

[ArcticHeron]

Proved my earlier call wrong. One of the dullest games so far.

Another bore draw

Yes

Let's see if Ronaldo still looks rubbish... if he plays anything like he has for Man Utd, he might hamper the team...

Suarez was a liability and needed to stay at Atl Madrid to remain match fit

Theres no doubt he will hamper them. I don't doubt that he will score some goals though. Doesn't really change anything however. The argument against Ronaldo hasn't been "will he score goals" its "are those goals worth the negatives that he brings". Would Portugal score more goals without him? Would they be a better team without him?

 

[Raymond Lin]

He is going to score a hat trick now, it's how Sod's Law works...

 

[Trusty]

Are Portugal dark horses? Their squad is absolutely stacked

 

[Shamikebab]

Ronaldo already missing chances. I confidently predict he'll miss 3/4 golden chances and then he'll score one and the media will go on about how he's still got it.

Ronaldo already missing chances

People always talk about pressing, but he had plenty of chances for us - like against Omonia, and he was fluffing all his chances.

He may well score but the old Ronaldo has 2 goals already.

I think they would be one of the favourites if they didn't have Ronaldo. They have a cracking side. Fantastic midfield and great strikers but they are being hamstrung by having Ronaldo.

Honestly though, they should be able to give Ronaldo the service he needs because international football is a little slower which will suit him.

 

[The_One]

its pretty crazy that this stadium can just be dismantled and moved somewhere else after

 

[Shamikebab]

Ghana look pretty toilet, this is like a training match so far.

Just looked at the odds. They are 8th overall. Bit surprising really, below the dutch for example.

Ronaldo has someone up top with him as well. Hopefully we see a bit of Ramos or Leao up top with Felix

 

[Cadder]

Ghana might not be playing exciting football, but is that their fans making that atmosphere? Loving the music

 

[The_One]

thats a goal

It's so hard to tell in the modern game. Big club names getting together count for naught if they can't be pulled under the web of a solid playstyle and general team dynamic. Form at club level is somewhat irrelevant imo.
