It’s a real tournament, with real finals and real medals and trophies at the end. Not a WC or continental championship, but it’s still more intense than a friendly.
It sounds very intense.
England-Switzerland: acknowledging that it is taking place is giving it too much attention. This game is as exciting as watching 9-year-olds play, when none of them are your kids, and all kids were force-fed a loaf of bread right before the game. Except that’d be more exciting, as you could bet on which kid pukes next. No one wants this game.
Well, Portugal deservedly won their match against Holland. That said, the Dutch were by no means played off the pitch. There are three different types of Portugal teams: 1- Ronaldo doesn’t feel it that day. 2- Ronaldo is on, and the rest of them watch him do it. And then there’s type 3: Ronaldo is on, Silva and Guedes are showing stuff, and the rest is keeping up. Tonight was the latter.
Holland well back on their way to being a contender.
CR7 fans are recent converts to the International Footie is the pinnacle of the game, and like all new converts their zeal is amazing.
Anyone have any idea why they converted?
