Never would've thought this would've happened..
Well thank the weak bracket
But Wales beat a tough team in Belgium
and Portugal beat a tough team in Croatia
Anyways Wales and Portugal better savor this moment for now because they won't do this well in the World Cup |
|
|
Portugal might make it into the finals of the EUROs..
While the US didn't even make it into the finals of the Gold Cup...
smh.. |

With Renato Sanches in the squad and possibly Jose Gomes if he is on the Squad soon (so possibly next year or 2018) and in time for World Cup, I wouldn't be counting out Portugal in the World Cup |
|
|
Renato Sanches is an unbelievable player and he will be a force to reckon with in EUROPE
But Portugal... No..
Just stick to the EUROs.. |

Other than 2010 and 2014 in the past 8 years, Portugal did fine in 2006 until we lost to France. Not to mention, we had horrible coaches in 2010 and 2014. |

Where are Italy again? |

Portugal wouldn't get past the round of 16 if they were placed in the other bracket |

Italy won their group and had a much more difficult bracket than Portugal who came third in a group of Hungary,
Iceland, and Austria. There were top quality teams such as Belgium, Republic of Ireland, and Sweden in Italy's group. Also, Portugal had to face Croatia and Poland to get to the final while Italy had to face Spain and Germany. |

Iceland did in the spot we would be if Iceland hadn't had a goal @ 94 minutes vs Austria. Js |

Also, blame your poor penalty shots, wasn't really Neuer in the net that causes misses but more like poor shots such as the running man Zaza Penalty shot |

Penalty shots don't prove class. Italy simply had way too many players injured that they could deal with at the time. |
|

"Where are Italy again?"
oh piss off
portugal have had an insanely easy bracket and italy played against some of the best teams in the world in the knockout stage
portgual had croatia squeaked by
portugal had poland and won on penalties
italy had spain and won convincingly
italy had germany and lost on penalties
italy has had a better tournament

We performed vs Croatia and Poland well enough to not be eliminated though, for god sakes, we had Rui Patricio in goal net in the penalties. |
|

wales better win portugal don't deserve it at all
germany/france is the real final |
|
|
how do we not deserve to win
I can also say Wales doesn't deserve to win either and should've been eliminated along time ago considering they moved on an OWN GOAL vs Northern Ireland |

I do believe we might not make finals and that wales could score 3 if Pepe misses game tomorrow as he is in doubt atm but hopefully not since Ramsey isn't playing and he did a lot for Wales to get those goals. |
