This is one of the dirtiest games I’ve ever seen for fouls and flying tackles! I thought Pepe was off there for a second.

It’s hard to really know for sure because the Portuguese will go down if you look at them a bit funny but the Belgians aren’t doing much better (looking at both of you Hazzards)

 

 

Probably the dirtiest match of the comp I’ve seen

Getting a bit tasty this game now.

 

KDB and Hazard crocked.. this Belgium side is not getting past Italy.

Without a piece of individual brilliance from Thorgan H, this would be 0-0. Should be a piece of piss for Italy and at least Bruno is gonna get an extra week of vacay

YES :cheer:

 

The last 15 minutes was just pure football at its best from end to end from both teams

If Portugal had shown the urgency of the last 15-20 minutes throughout the match they probably would have got extra time at least. It's sad to see Bruno Fernandes have a bad tournament but hopefully it's just a blip for him. Italy should be strong favourites to win against Belgium in the quarter final.

Really fun game, Belgium were shocking on the counter attack. That's Martinez, Deschamps and Southgate all playing dull football for now- suppose the media can say what the like, but it is effective.

Should be comfortable then for Italy in the quarters.

Did no one watch Italy lastnyt? Hard to pick between the two, can’t see either being winners all the same!

 

What a game that was though in the second half - how can you not love Pepe a typical Portuguese when getting beat, just starts kicking people 😂!!

 

 

Agree Belgium were terrible

but Italy werenn't much better against Austria the other day...

Lightning doesn't strike twice for Portugal then! A fantastic winning goal from Thorgan Hazard, good to see some end-to-end towards the end although sadly can't say it was the most interesting game so far.

I don't know, I get the feeling that Belgium, Denmark, and also Croatia if they complete comeback are feeling like 'teams of destiny' this tournament.
