Coulthard's Jaw Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Stadium 974, the home of shipping containers, yet another yet to see a goal at this World Cup. Portugal Insane talent throughout this team, questions about the coach though. Basically England. Ghana WHY YOU PUT POWER??? Ghana so so close to reaching a semi final in 2010, kind of gone backwards since then though. Didn't qualify in 2018. Teams TV Coverage Champion and McCoist commentating. Souness and Keane as pundits. Enjoy. Edited November 24, 2022 by Coulthard's Jaw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigcwwe Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Stacked Portuguese squad though not being talked about as one of the top 2-3 favourites.

CFuller Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 The Ronaldo circus has come to town. Portugal definitely not as reliant on CRdSA7 as they used to be - if anything, he can be more of a hindrance at times. Still have plenty of doubts over the defence (even without old man Pepe), but I think they should have too much for Ghana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Bit torn here. Ronaldo becoming the first man to score in five WCs obviously appeals to the statto in me. On the other hand, Portugal getting pumped and going out early would be great fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezer Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 (edited) Well all you snarky hipsters on this forum might think Ronaldo’s reputation is in tatters but 99% of the fan zone here just went absolutely nuts when he came in screen.

Astafjevs Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 I don't understand Portugal's system really.

It means they're not all that great, and the group becomes interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
