Portugal are utter tripe, have been all tournament and I'd be disappointed if Wales don't win.
Collins more than adequately filling in for Davies, Ramsey is a big miss though.
How on earth did they lose to England...

Paid them too much respect I think.

Not sure about them being tripe.

Been very strong defensively, well organised shape, a couple of good players and one unbelievable player. Think most teams would find them a tough nut

It's not like Wales have played scintillating football is it. At least Portugal have shown a modicum of intention to move forwards with the ball.

Both these teams bore he fucking tits off me. Portugal are probably the tactically second worst managed team after Belgium, and Wales have played both and Russia, the worst team in the tournament.

And you've hit the nail on the head where this game is concerned, because you could describe Wales in the exact same way you've just described Portugal there. A bit of stalemate and cancelling each other out at the moment. Could go to pens, this one.

I expected so much more from Portugal though and at the end of every game they've played I've questioned my sanity for wasting my time, at least the game against Belgium was entertaining!

If that's how Giggs was as coach at United then no wonder why LVG had him glued to his seat the whole time. What a miserable sod
