كأس العالم 2022 World Cup Thread!

And that arrogance will be their downfall

 

No, that's just confidence. Whoever does win on Saturday will be brimming with confidence.

 

Yeah, as far as world cup semi finals go, Morocco or Switzerland is an absolute dream - Portugal much tougher. Even with Ronaldo fading they have a very strong team.

 

Didn’t get any rhythm going, because Morocco didn’t let them really.

 

Injured I think

 

Shame about Boufal. Just needs a run of 10 games or so to get going....

 

What a finish that is by Ramos.

 

First Gakpo, now Ramos. FFS.

 

Portugal coping without Ronnie Ronaldo

 

Ronaldo’s face was a picture!

 

World Cup of "what might have been for Saints attackers".

Hey ho, at least we've for Che and Armstrong.

 

Yeah he's played very well in my opinion but just been struggling for fitness it seems.

 

Can see why we weren't really eager to move on from either, heh.

 

We lost it when we let Shane go....

 

Embolo is a unit isn’t he?

 

Shlong has a goal in the Championship this season. How many goals do Gakpo and Ramos have in the Championship?

 

Exactly!

 

Oh **** off Pepe.

 

Had to be Pepe

 

Portugal look much better without Ronaldo. The stupid thing is that this was all pretty obvious, but likely didn't happen due to his ego.

At 37 he has lost his pace and the stamina to play and press at this intensity for 90 minutes. He is however, still one of the best finishers in world football. He would be perfect to bring off the bench if you are chasing a goal in the last 15 minutes.
