Aside from all this Ronaldo vs Messi stuff, Portugal really deserves the cup. They are one of the "big ones" in Europe and having missed their chance against grecee was like a kick in the nuts.

Agreed! Their team is very good, the normal team is not playing due to injuries. Their midfield should be an example to Tata Martino.

How do you play 4-3-3 with 3 defensive midfielders? Never seen it in my life. Tata was afraid of Chile.

Agreed! The good part is that Tata is out. The bad news is that no one wants to come... I won't blame them though, AFA has no money to pay salaries. Tata Martino was more than 4 months without getting payed...

What's funny is that the game with wales was the first time Portugal won a 90m match in the tournament. xD

I confess i didn't believe after those 3 draws at the start. But with each draw Portugal got closer to the final. Now to see if its going to be 2 lost finals or if they can do the unthinkable, one final time.

That's sad. i hope you guys choose an European coach because their tactics are what your best players are used to.

It's the same with Brazil, they have very good players but their coaches are inept af. Latin teams in the mdifield should play with a defensive player(DM), a dynamic player (MC) to connect midfield and attack and a "10" to dictate the pace and crack open the opponent's defense.

The team was in shambles in the group stage. However for the past 3 games their defense, midfield and now attack has gotten better in that order.

France or Germany is gonna be hard for them because those guys populate/dominate the midfield like them, which is different from the past teams they played.

They do have a midfield for Germany and France though; Moutinho and Andre Gomes gotta be fit for the final.

Yay, my prediction was right! I think France will win tomorrow, but you never know... they may be under pressure.

Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Unlucky Wales but congrats Portugal and Ronaldo who will get his chance to finally with a major international tournament.

France v Germany tomorrow. Don't really have a preference but would probably choose France for the final just because they're hosts and they haven't won anything in longer than Germany.
