Touch wood but they seem to use VAR a lot better than in the PL. not taking the tiniest bit of contact as a foul and not spending 25 minutes drawing arbitrary lines.

I think we’d have a good chance against them at Wembley on this showing. Particularly if our fans could bring the same intensity as the Hungarians.

England have been guilty of the same thing though, forcing everything through Beckham or Rooney when their powers were fading. Portugal need to make sure they use the rest of the quality there.

Hungary too deep this early. They need to get their foot on it and push out.

I’m talking about the team now though. Ronaldo hasn’t had the best season and is still too much of a talisman for Portugal.

I think there will be a number of games like this where the ‘away’ team struggle.

They're just the opposite of what a normal Germany team would be like. I do think the focus on Ronaldo could derail them.

Portugal's biggest threat is trying to let him do everything and restricting the other good players they have causing them to be more ineffective than they should be McCoist the exception there, has been great so far.

I know it's been slated but I like this Portugal kit.

Portugal playing at incredible tempo. I really think sticking a Wembley could be a massive advantage for us if we can get away with it

just in case

John Hartson could try sounding like he wants to be there

Disagree, might get an easier R16 game but then it's more difficult going deeper into the tournament. Keep the momentum up, win all three games then take whoever couldn't win the group of death full of confidence.

Who decided no 2 o'clock game. Joke

Do that not have internet in Skagness?

This group is set up really nicely now though. The team you’d have said was the weakest would be the only one with 3 points, Poland will need a win against Spain next Sunday.

Now Sweden take their best player off

Spain are playing so wide, Sweden need to resist chasing them and just defend the width of the box, try and double up or at least outnumber Spain in the danger areas. Also just stick your fastest striker on the half way line and try and get him behind, even if he doesn't score you can push your...

Spain play with so much intensity. The Swedes haven't had any time on the ball at all. If they had a goalscorer then they'd be out of sight.

Surely only a matter of time for Spain
