Except Ireland, we have fear of everything.

Great strike. Who on Earth is this boring fella commentating on TV3?

He's dreadful. Think its Laurie Sánchez. He's putting me off. Wonder do TV3 do and feedback on how their commentators did.

That half step Gera took whilst waiting for it to drop was delightful.

I think they would make it as a third placed team if it's a draw since their goal difference would be 0.

Vincent Vega

I'll be pretty unhappy if anything should change. This group is looking to turn out the complete opposite to what myself and I'd say many others would have called pre-tournament.

Great for the tournament.

Too Tough To Die

I think Ronaldo has eclipsed Roberto Carlos as the worst free kick 'specialist' of all times.

SantryRed

That penalty would never be given against a team like the Italians.

Ronaldo gone a calender year without scoring for Portugal - surely that's got to end purely on the basis of chance!

It's not as easy to score when you don't have weak homer ref's giving you free penaldos in the bernaneu every other week. Ronaldo has been poor, again, in a major tournament. And after his comments about Iceland I hope he gets all the karma he deserves.

Mars Bar

Austria shouldn't bother celebrating getting penalties.

Kerrydude1981

Name on the cup? :D

R00ster

Daft penalty to give away. They had been pushing their luck with pulling for the last 10 minutes.

Mantis Toboggan

Someone mentioned earlier in a game between 11 James milners versus 11 Ronaldo's that James milner would win, and I'd be inclined to agree with that bizarrely.

Has to be!

It's so entertaining, the mad bastards!

Mec27

What a pass by Ronnie but overall he probably holds Portugal back.

Mr.Nice Guy

Did I hear right that Dragovic missed a penalty? So he's had a red card and a missed peno in his 2 games?

I'd remove that nickname. I got a warning for calling him that recognised nickname even though it's hardly offensive.

Mr.Nice Guy

Portugal goal!

Nani!

Mec27

WOW WOW

Mantis Toboggan

What is it with centre half's taking penalties!

Yeah missed it

Unearthly

Well done Ronaldo and Nani. 2 great lads and players

siblers

Who is the co-commentator on tv3?

sligeach

Hungarian keeper massively at fault for that goal. He's ancient and didn't want to say it but I can see him making more mistakes.

Mr.Nice Guy

Lovely assist from Ronaldo.

Rayne Wooney

Hungary could get a couple against that defence

Ronaldo made that goal but it doesn't suit the narrative so will surely be forgotten?

GreNoLi

Nice pass, nice goal, game on.

Harry Palmr

I'm small minded enough to want to see Ronaldo cry.

As it stands with both games 1-0 Portugal and Albania are the weakest of the 3rd place teams excluding Group E.

A draw would put Portugal through.

Then Albania and Turkey would be the weakest 3rd places excluding Group E.

Controversial opinion maybe, but I think the introduction of Swiss quality jerseys would be as significant an improvement to the game as goal line technology.

You could be sure that less players would risk tugging on jerseys with something as incriminating as that. :pac:

J Mysterio

RTE commentator is having massive trouble saying Baumgartlinger, its fupping hilarious. Three or four screwups. Itd be a masterpiece were someone to edit them together.

Would like to see him play deeper for Portugal.

shrewdness

Great assist from Ronaldo, yet most will only mention him if he does something negative. Keeper could have done better though.

namloc1980

Portugal draw and they'll play Croatia in the last 16 (assuming Iceland hold on and finish 2nd).

Mec27

Iceland are providing the template for Ireland, that is called football, yo don't need world class players to knock the ball around.

BoJack Horseman

Watching the RTE panel trying to do pundit-technology is like watching a horse install a server.

They've a tiny population relative to us yet play well and pass it nicely. They have a better club coefficient than the LoI as well. They're obviously doing something very right.

How is it not offensive

Its a way to insult him due to him scoring penalties

Any card got is deserved

Bar that time he rolled his tongue saying it, yuck!
Amazing Portugal struggle so much with a squad highly valued anyway. Mario, Gomez, Sanches & W.Carvalho not to mention the experienced players

They have over 600 UEFA B licensed coaches and almost every town has a full size indoor facility.

Rayne Wooney

Iceland play football.

We play defence

But according to people on here you need Fernando Redondo and Xavi in midfield to pass a ball around.

Sanchez on, looks a talent.
