I can't believe how they chickened out when they had the better team. Exactly same as Croatia, they too were better than Portugal and suddenly went ultra defense. Ffs. |
I don't know wich teams you are looking at, but portugal has better players overall than croatia and poland. They have a rising star on this competition in sanches and they have a quality trio of slackers in ronaldo, quaresma and nani. William carvalho is also a great new talented midfielder. This team has more quality than the one of the last world cup. So, i get you get these ideas from the draws in the group stage.
I think that is more on the coach than the players. It's a strategy. But Portugal has many times played great football and not won. This time they are more pragmatic and are winning. Is it pretty? Nope. But it's working so far. We will see how far they can take, but semi-final is already pretty good.
If it any consolation... i hate it aswell. Not good for my health.
