Uefa Nations League: Portugal vs Switzerland
Some footy on again! 7.45pm KO.
I thought I'd create the thread, partly for those who will be watching, and partly for those who fancy a whinge saying it's a pointless game yet will still come onto a thread about a game they won't be watching

Re: Uefa Nations League: Portugal vs Switzerland
Was in Porto yesterday. Had tickets for both England games. But can’t really be arsed going. Porto was full of the stereotype England fan. And the main reason I can’t be arsed with them these days.
The team and manager look as promising as ever. And hope they win the competition. Would be great for the mentality going into the next tournaments.

Re: Uefa Nations League: Portugal vs Switzerland
Feel sorry for the people of Porto having to put up with some of the cocks who follow England for nearly a full week. In a regular tournament it's generally 2 or 3 days in one city before moving on.cricketfieldclarets wrote:Was in Porto yesterday. Had tickets for both England games. But can’t really be arsed going.

Bookies have it as Portugal, England, Netherlands Switzerland in order of fave.Tricky Trevor wrote:We owe them for kicking Rooney out of Euro’04. We’d have won that if he’d stayed fit.
So going off odds, England vs Portugal final, with Portugal to win.
Netherlands however have arguably the best central defence in the world, so it won't be easy for us tomorrow evening.

The Netherlands have rediscovered their mojo,winning in Germany a prime example,and they'll have a point to prove after missing the last WC,this England team are now considered a scalp after our recent success,FactualFrank wrote:Bookies have it as Portugal, England, Netherlands Switzerland in order of fave.

It definitely isn't a pointless tournament either,obviously qualification for the Euro's is likely for most of the bigger names through the regular format,but there is significant financial benefits to winning the NL,and despite England's rapid rise up the rankings many of this squad still lack game management experience,as shown by the Croatia defeat in the WC Semi-final,anything that helps aid this young squad and manager can only be an asset.

I agree with you about it not being a pointless tournament. I've enjoyed it as well. Much better than friendlies.

Van Dijk bagged in both those games,clearly he is a threat going forwards as well,is there anything he can't do.

Ronaldo FK, 1-0.
Notice EUFA haven’t fetched the new rules in and Portugal put two men on the end of the line. The ball went very close to the Swiss man and he didn’t jump.

So on the penalty we have a variety of opinions so it wasn’t clear and obvious was it?

Re: Uefa Nations League: Portugal vs Switzerland
I just can't see a pen there.
Why isn't there an independant adjudicator, it's hardly likely the ref will ever overturn his own decision.

More like the ref gives a pen, but overturns it himself after checking VAR. That would be some comedown, some refs probably would never do it.

I suspect many Man city fans won't bother celebrating in future after the Sterling disallowed goal.

Re: Uefa Nations League: Portugal vs Switzerland
I don't think it will, 90% of goals scored (random percentage I just made up) are clean and would not be ruled out. It might make people actually learn the rules and pay attention to what's going on too which would be helpfulSpijed wrote:That's just it. It'll be a half-hearted celebration.
