I know Slovenia have to work with what they've got but jeez they don't half suffocate football matches.

Tournament football you do what needs to be done. Greece won the tournament doing similar

Portugal very England like. Good players managed by a shit manager who has no idea tactically how to change things. 

 

Slovenia very organised, and Southgate will be telling himself this justifies the performance against these.

Imagine if we were playing a 41 year old Walker and a 39 year old Kane

[Anorak]

Thank god for that

[Super_horns]

France will probably fancy getting a win v this Portugal team if the latter get through .

[VLC86]

That linesman wanted a closer look at the offside, he’s about 10 feet on the pitch  

[Mike1983]

Oblak a masterclass in positioning (are you watching Danny?), he covered the goal perfectly for that.

And the PM is still Rishi Sunak....the ninth ring of hell?

Bloody hell this Celar lad up top for Slovenia - worst cellar we've seen since uncovering the horrors of Fritzl's imo

Portugal comfortably the weakest team on that side of the draw purely on tactics rather than talent. Slovenia have looked comfortable for the most part.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Wed better bloody get ET, we've not come this far for nothing

[VLC86]

Just get King Josep on to end this.

[StanSP]

Slovenia quality

Slovenia would be a really good side if they were even half decent in the final third.

And an undroppable player. Past his best.

Hoping this goes to penalties and Ronaldo and Fernandes miss to lose the match.

Out of all the games I expected to go to ET, I didn't expect this. Portugal however have played no one in the top 20 places in the rankings in the past year I believe and they have been found wanting a few times this tournament when tested.

 

So, does it mean Solvenia are actually a force to be reckoned with and we should be grateful we got a drawn or are Portugal just shite now?

[Vacamion]

 

I thought at half time, let's have ET, penalties and Ronaldo tears again.

 

Still, I live in hope.

 

 

[foxes_rule1978]

Not many could have as poor a performance as Ronaldo for those 90 plus the other games before it and still be on the pitch 

[Bilo]

Keeping two players with a combined age of 80 on for ET is insane. One can barely move and the other's free kicks would only have been useful in a different sport.

[Raj]

Fvck sake I wanna go bed!!💤💤💤

This us all Southgate's fault.😡

When players have too much power over the team and management.

Was never previously a fan of Martin Keown on co-comms, a man who once said "that's butt and breader" but he's actually got some hilarious little quirks, the bloke is full of metaphors

 

"Well you look at him there and he's almost like a gazelle on a desert plane isn't he?!"

 

"The big man up top, he's almost like a backboard as basketball isn't he?!"

[Vacamion]

 

Why did they get rid of golden goal in extra time ?
