Hold on a secondâŚ
Are Tony OâDonoghue and the lads actually in Qatar?
Apparently Ghana havenât been great but they definitely have more attacking quality on paper than most of the weaker nations- Inaki Williams is a great fella to be able to recruit, and Kudus has class. And Andre Ayew has always had a bit about him.
Portugal are obviously brimming with attacking quality but youâd fear that they might be underwhelming if Santos goes for a very conservative style. Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Joao Felix, Bruno and Guerreiro & Cancelo as full-backs. If they are let loose to play, they could rip teams to shreds. And itâs not as if they donât have midfielders who can play too.
Dias and Danilo are there to be got at. Portugal will not keep many clean sheets. Thatâs a real powder puff midfield in front of them too and Cancelo canât defend. Ghana will score I think, just donât know will they outscore Portugal
Where is Carvalho. He usually provides the solidity in front of the back four
The Portugese anthem is spinetingling.
Heâs on the bench, as is Palhinha from Fulham. Does look a little lightweight alright with Neves as the only defensive-ish player in the middle.
Might be a sign that Santos will let the shackles off though.

Did he get picked? Thought he was with the 21s
Ghana could quite easily overpower them here. It isnât the side Iâd have picked for this fixture. Now thereâs a chance Portugal do a Spain and get > 70% of the ball and destroy them.
I think weâll get plenty goals here
âwe have the ball and we stay hereâ with a shit eating grin.
CR7 is the boss
Is Chris Hughton still involved with Ghana?
Rumours that Brazil are going to name a very attacking team, no Fred.
Yup, assistant coach I think

Addo is a youth scout for Dortmund & involved in player development, heâs obviously not too bad at his job.
Two chances that youâd probably expect Ronaldo to score.
You obviously havenât seen him for man United this year

heâs a horrible diving bastard
Farcical decision.
That should have stood
He slotted that one, harsh free-kick.
if Brunoâs was a foul that was a foul
