I recon this match is going to be super boring. France have not scored a single organic goal and Portugal seem perfectly content passing the ball from side to side of a team just stalls on the edge of the box.

I fear that too. But the stakes changed with the beginning of the knockout matches, so their play styles may change too?

They didn't during the first half. Boring.

I saw more chances that should've been goals than I expected.

I thought Portugal deserved to win. All in all I think the ref was good, especially compared to the ESP-GER match and all in all it was a fair game.

I do think players should stop all their nonsense when taking penalties. Messi missed a panenka, Ronaldo's penalty created controversy and Felix just straight up missed it. Look at Mendes who just rams it in the top corner.

Can't wait to see Spain destroy these French cowards.
