Frankie 8,190 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Not surprised after their defending the other day. Busy this afternoon but might see the odd ten mins or so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK-1 1,684 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 This is the type of thing I have a proxy program for. Can't watch ITV from outside the UK without one or at least you couldn't the last time I tried it. https://www.itv.com/hub/itv4 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,684 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) Alves looks like the tallest player in the Portugal team, maybe tallest on the pitch. I'm hoping Portugal get beaten though not due to Alves. Want him out of this and where he should be right now, at Ibrox. Russian anthem is a great little tune.

JFK-1 1,684 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Disturbing amount of simulation to get fouls coming from both sides in just the first 15 minutes of this match. Since the authorities are forever trying to tinker I would rather they went to extremes to stamp this out before considering anything else. It's easy for me to see in the replays so would be easy for the authorities to see post match then dish out a significant fine and a minimum 2 match ban. That would quickly start weeding it out. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,684 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Portugal win 1-0 after surviving a late Russian assault. At least we're going to be getting a match fit Alves. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyharley 5 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 He strolled the game as well. So dominant in the air and bullied a few of their strikers at times 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
onevision 1,463 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 He strolled the game as well. So dominant in the air and bullied a few of their strikers at times From what little of the match i saw i could tell that Alves will be a huge step up in class, his distribution was great and always looked to make a forward pass rather sideways. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueger 8 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 He had a very easy first half, was tested a bit more in the second half but still wasn't troubled at all, never seen anything like it when he heads the ball, he can head it farther than a lot of people can kick it, he's a massive step up in quality from last season. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
