Pepe

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Woeful.

 

[N o o d l e s]

That's the game

 

[N o o d l e s]

Bruno Fernandes??????????????

 

[KJS14]

Ummmm... I guess kicking the ball into the upper deck will waste a bit of time too. But just holding it might have worked.

 

[Tuggy]

Portugal wasn't great but got the job done.

 

[ViD]

You tell me Russia can’t beat this Portugal?

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Lol Ronaldo wanted a replay of him diving.

Should've gotten a red: one yellow for diving, another for pleading for a video review.

 

[TP]

Good try.

lol Pepe lol

Unfortunate tourney for Morocco....hopefully they can salvage at least one goal v. Spain but I wouldn't count on it.

First team to be eliminated.

 

[ecemleafs]

how does herve renard have such a great record managing african national teams and such a shit record in ligue 1?

 

[Suiteness]

You tell me Russia can’t beat this Portugal?

That's what Portugal does. Everybody thought they'd be slim pickings at the Euro's but they managed to escape again and again.

 

[TheMoreYouKnow]

I wouldn't give Morocco too much credit for their play either. They were on the verge of being out of the tournament which naturally got them to push forward. Meanwhile they played a team quite content to sit on a lead (it's still quite amusing that Portugal of all teams has morphed into that).

 

[N o o d l e s]

I would be very surprised.

It's nice to see Russia in the knockouts, but I would caution about getting to excited about beating Saudi Arabia and Egypt. How they perform vs. Uruguay will say a lot about their ability to compete in the knockout rounds.

The way they played against Iran this is all they deserve.

Against Iran they stank.

In the second half when their handsome coward of a manager bunkered, but they were really good in the first half against Iran, just couldn’t score

It’s not even about Russia, it’s more about Portugal, they fully rely on CR7, if he’s got s bad day, they seem terrible up front

And even against Uruguay I would be hesitant to put much stock in Russia's ability. If we see the Uruguay that came out in their first game then Russia should be pretty level with them.

 

[Moncherry]

That was painful. That wasn't even grinding out a result, that was just being total shit for a whole game and getting away with it. Other than controlling possession I don't think Morocco were that good either.

Oh man is that embarrassing.

I don't know if it's as bad as Rivaldo's sell from 2002 but come on, man. Show SOME level of dignity, Pepe.

 

[The Moose]

This Portugal team is Ronaldo, some other 9 guys, and the f***ing disgraceful Pepe. If not for the superhuman Ronaldo, this Portugal team would be so easy to despise.

I'm not sure you phrased that right

I'd like for once to see a straight red card for such pathetic display. Rivaldo was worse, as it was Klinsman's in WC 1990, more so because it resulted in red cards for the players on the opposite team. Perhaps now with the VAR the referees will take a better look at this kind of disgraceful antics.

Come on, what about that pressing, say? They were poaching balls left and right. I was quite impressed by them, they couldn't turn it into real chances though.
