Portugal 0-0 France (Pens 3-5) Post Match Analysis

[@purplecrown505]

How Martinez keeps getting big international jobs is a mystery

[@dubai_fitness]

what exactly would you have done. he lost to the favourites.

[@Iron-Bridge]

​@@dubai_fitness@purple is right. You have Jota and Ramos on the bench. They're quicker, more mobile and more clinical than Ronaldo. Martinez did not use the best potential of the squad.

[@TroystonB]

@@dubai_fitness i wouldn't have played a 39 year old guy that contributes nothing to the entire match.

[@TroystonB]

He's a spoofer.

[@Liam-eh2wp]

Pepe at 41 crazy

[@Meghanslappy]

I'm not a fan of penalties but they were the best part of that game.

[@jl91iii]

I was hoping France would lose, they're dreadful to watch

[@golumskill1531]

you must watch it as a tactic game and with this point of view , you can enjoy dechamps strategy , it work even with forwards in bad shape ( and griezman ) he played in italy with catenaccio so its his culture , a win is a win , and you must reconize that work , so yea they may not do the show but its like to watch a grapling game , you prefere watch a boxing game , but grapling is realy technic when you watch it seriously you know what i mean

[@Iron-Bridge]

Thing with France is that you know they are capable of going up a few gears when needed.

[@andrekoerber7334]

@@Iron-Bridge Right. I don`t see them losing versus Spain.

[@Eruma_27]

@@andrekoerber7334No goals from open play all tournament lol. Spain will batter them if they play this way against them lol.

[@ChuckMarteau]

Not dreadful, just bizarrely unsuccessful at sinking one in. It's very hard to beat them, if that's dreadful then they must be doing something right.

[@alanduncan1980]

Through to the semis without scoring a goal from open play.

[@TBrl8]

England esque.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

@@TBrl8 England have scored in every game apart from Slovenia

[@iainog44]

Woeful match

[@TBrl8]

Better than watching England.

[@AlexOjideagu2]

@@TBrl8 No it isn't. England actually score. Portugal did not score in 3 games, France didn't score a real goal in 5 games.

[@churchill525]

Now nobody can say Argentina won by rigged or penalties its all settled 😅

[@joaosousa2428]

Do not understand why they keep saying France was far from their best. This team, with no space cannot play, as simple as that. Mbappe will not win you games without minimum good service. Only resort they have, is run against the opposite defence and shoot to the stands. It was a recurrent pattern in this euro, 1 goal from penalty and 2 own goals. They're defence is incredibly strong, but not perfect. Yesterday, and even in previous matches, they were exposed. They base their game plan on that defence and then try the counter to blownout the opposition. Controlling that, anybteam can control them. Easier said than done of course, but yesterday they were very close to crash. The comparison with Real Madrid is quite absurd...

[@andrekoerber7334]

Spain will attack versus France and that fits France very well.

[@Eruma_27]

@@andrekoerber7334Spain can adjust themselves. This is not the old Spain De La Fuente adjusts based on who they play. If France plays like this against Spain it will be over faster than you can think that’s all I’m gonna say.

[@linolino9306]

Playing him ahead of Morata is stupid. Morata have been poor but he will score at least 1 or 2 of the clear chances that Ronaldo has missed in the the entire tournament. Check the stats. Only Lukaku has missed more big chances than Ronaldo

[@connerquest791]

Definitely the most boring match in this year's competition.

[@TBrl8]

Better than any England match so far, plenty of chances.

[@andrekoerber7334]

Hamann is right...because of Penaldo Portugal did not go to the semis last WC and this EURO.

[@mrbear957]

He had no chances when he had 23 shots on goal. That is some crazy take

[@tyo101]

Rubbish match, but thanks for the upload.

[@the12thplayeracademy65]

What an interesting game to watch. Really good tactics with momentum ebbing and flowing. Didi is an absolute clown of an analyst. Really good player in his day but a horrible pundit The better chances fell to France? Lol these guys need to give up their jobs

[@Iron-Bridge]

France did have the better chances. Not sure why you are resistant. Diogo the Portugal keeper and France not hitting the target were the only thing saving Portugal at the end.

[@Tony-lt2jr]

African all stars win again

[@stevenlannister184]

It's the euros. Feck off with that

[@jeromeoberli471]

And the future Islamic Republic of England will lose tonight against Switzerland.

[@andrekoerber7334]

I am afraid so....

[@bansmile]

A one-on-one game and playing the entire game (or the entire European Championship) with one less player. What would happen to Spain with CR7 in the team? It wasn't a team. It's a bitter taste to think what our team would be like if it were complete. Perhaps it was the best opportunity to defeat France. CR7 always dried up everything around him, but at that time, he resolved it. Now it is much more of a problem than the solution. What a shame, we lost the best generation ever because of the coach's stubbornness. Maybe if Ronaldo was removed he would be fired like the other one. (who also didn't have any sympathy) But we have to have them "in their place" and Martinez could well take a course with his Spanish counterpart... It remains to be added that both Bruno and Bernardo Silva had exhausting seasons and grew a lot, when Ronaldo is not on the field. As he was always...
