Idk. Belgium can play. Might be tough. Portugal can play better but they have not.

Have they played in any friendly matchups before this?

They played earlier this year and Portugal won 2-1..

But im not even going by that. Belgium play is very similar to how the Dutch play, and Portugal always matches up well with the Netherlands.

Belgium is gonna play an attacking 4-3-3, and thats gonna play right into Portugal game. Portugal will get Belgium in the counter attack. You'll see Ronaldo and Nani more active in this game. Belgium wont bunker down, and theyll send guys up, leaving Ronaldo and Nani with more room to work.

Portugal have looked flat (at times) this Euro because every team has pretty much bunkered down against them. Portugal never been good being the aggressors.

Congrats man... Imagine if they will all without actually winning a single game...

I have a question do you guys understand all what english ( accent) and Australian players say? I am asking this because Portuguese from Portugal is like 90% similar the rest i just guess what they talking about, the accent is pretty strong and they have a lot of different words

Thanks brother! We'll beat Belgium in regulation though atleast I think.

I have a hard time understanding Australian. I had an Irish guy talk to me real fast one day, and I swore he was speaking another language.

Portuguese from Portugal is different than Brazilian Portuguese. With me it also depends what part of Brazil. I had a Brazilian guy do some work at my house, he was from Minas Gerias. Great worker, even better guy, but I had trouble understanding him. I work out with a couple of people from Sao Paulo. I can understand them too.

Also doesnt help im Azorian decent, and we probably have the worst dialect lmao

William Carvalho is a loss for sure, but Danilo more than capable of stepping in. Carvalho is better with the ball at his feet, and swtiching the field. Danilo is a better destroyer.

Im just ecstatic Santos gave Renato Sanches a chance to start. He made his mark this game and Poland had no answer for him. The kid is only 18 years old and he has the power and technique of a guy in his mid twenties. Hes a special player.

I wasn't going to watch England-Iceland, but the friends I was with insisted. Something to do with them being Germans?

Actually, England -- two bad bits of non-defending apart -- weren't that bad, and Iceland are really surprisingly good for such a tiny nation (not just in this match). Anyway, they were plenty good enough to park the bus once they had the lead. Congratulations to them and I wish them well.

England were beyond bad. Roy Hodgson is basically the anti-Bill Belichick. Completely inept, un-prepared, and void of ideas.

Players playing out of position. If Rooney couldn't make it as a forward then he shouldn't have been starting. He was horrible in the midfield. Strikers playing on the wings. Kane for some inexcusable reason taking corners and free kicks. England was handcuffed by some blatantly horrible choices by Hodgson. They didn't even know they style and tactics they were playing. Testing new formations out the game before the tournament (the Portugal friendly). Players share the blame as well, as the pressure clearly got to them. They couldnt even control easy passes or sending simple crosses 10 feet out of bounds. But going into games with no tactics in place and players playing out of position is a recipe for disaster, which the word I'd use for Hodgson's tenor as manager.

I'm going with Belgium ... 2-1.

Wow Nainggolan what a strike ... 1-0 Belgium.

This is a real good game .............

Bale is such a great player.

Belgium is rocked right now. They have no answer for Wales counter.

This game is definitely top 3 I have had time to see counting Euro and Copa games.

Wales up 2-1.

FIFA #26 beating FIFA #2

Wales 2-1!!!!

Belgium is a mess defensively.

They brought in Fellani for Carrasco to help shore up the MF, but Wales still scored and they lost some explosion on offense.

Another thing ...

I'd take De Bryune over Hazard anyday
