GWT: World Cup - Round of 16 - Portugal v. Switzerland

[TheGreenTBer]

Read that last time C.Ronaldo hasn't started for Portugal in a final tournament match was at Euro 2008...against Switzerland. And Portugal lost that match 2-0.

Yes please

I know it is early but I’m predicting penalties to decide this one.

THink so too. either that a or a tight 1-0 game

 

[Tryamw]

There be goals here..

 

[Jussi]

1-0! What a shot!

 

[Panteras]

What a goal

 

[Tryamw]

Great goal but the ref missed a foul leading to the throw in.

 

[Rob]

Third best goal of the tournament

Sommer making me and @cgf look bad.

That said, while I'm normally quite critical of goals scored near post, that was an absolute rocket right into the corner from about 8 yards out. That's hard to save. You need the defender to get a foot in there.

I hope we see Portugal continue to attack

 

[Power Man]

3.0023486th best goal according to my estimation

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Portugal vs England with Ronaldo scoring the game winner in the finals would be quite something.

 

[GKJ]

Keeper thought he couldn't hit that corner. Wow.

 

[bluesfan94]

Keeper thought he couldn't hit that corner. Wow.

I don't even think that's it. I just think there was no way to get your hands up fast enough.

 

[Tryamw]

Nice fouling by Portugal..
No Yellow? this Ref...

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Switzerland are pretty disappointing thus far. I thought they'd give Portugal a much harder time.

 

[bluesfan94]

Needs to be a yellow on Dias

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Shaqiri so close. Damn this guy's a f***ing tank whenever he puts on a Swiss jersey.

 

[Gecklund]

Why Dalot vet Cancelo? Is Cancelo hurt?

Because Dalot is better defensively than Cancelo.

 

[Tryamw]

Nice defensive header.

2-0 off the ensuing corner.

 

[Jussi]

Pepe!

 

[Very Stable Genius]

The ageless douche puts it away.

 

[Power Man]

This Pepe kid has potential

 

[Peen]

Pepe has aged so well

 

[gary69]

Old man Pepe still manages to score. C.Ronaldo is seen celebrating with him, was he there with C.Ramos, at least not amongst the first ones.
