Itv commentator gold nuggets number 84
"Football is about scoring goals"


One of Alan Shearer's many (many) gems: "Football is all about opinions".

Luis Enrique was so snob, he had it coming.

And about the next game, nobody puts Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench in a World Cup knockout and gets away with it. Portugal will be punished by Switzerland.

Well there's your one surprise result of the round, Bill.

So that means Portugal will win tonight. Ronaldo on the bench, he won't be happy

Portugal have looked...unleashed.

Switzerland ...boring when theyre winning, even more boring when theyre losing.

Portugal have plenty of firepower, Ramos and Felix both flying. Look a better team without that other guy in it. La Suisse look hopeless.

They've managed to get one back...

Now we finally get some big games.

Really thought that would be a low scoring 1 0 or 2 1 or something.

I had portugal to win with Fernandes to score! My logic was without Ronaldo he would shine. Lol. They get 6 and he doesnt score!!

Portugal look much better without Media Craving Fat Head in the team.
And loved that he was offside for his one moment of glory.
Ahhhhhh, diddums.

The trouble is, all these big teams know the opposition has attacking talent so they will play defensive.

Wouldn't surprise me if Southgate opted for Kalvin Phillips and Declan Rice protecting the defence on Saturday.

I think Brazil and Portugal will win their games, but I'm not calling the other two!

I think thomas is right. Lol.

Its on the day, who plays well, who has the luck.

I don't see this a trouble at all, but I like strategic defensive soccer. smile

(PS: That's why I always loved Italy and am saddened they're not there.)

Jermaine Jenas's first nugget of genius...

"Brazil has so much talent"

Croatia playing very defensively.
Not convinced theyve got much up front.
If brazil score ..they will have to open up a bit.
If Croatia nick one, they will be even more defensive. Fractionally less boring than Switzerland

I really want Brazil to kick Croatia's ass, but as you say -- Bill -- Croatia playing extreme defense. This could go either way.

I'm the reverse. I want to see the Brazilian faces when Croatia score. No dancing this time...

The dives always make me LOL especially on the replays. big grin

I suppose it's no surprise Croatia is just hoping for PKs. 0 shots, but great D.
