There are underlying reasons I think Portugal will do well not just the Iberian links with Wolves. The Euros success and now the fact their squad is stronger and with a lot more talent that has come through, Gonçalo Guedes for example. However I truly feel this is potentially Ronaldo's World Cup swan song. There's that old adage that you (I don't know why) need a World Cup under your belt to be classed in that elite 'greatest ever' bracket (even though Cruyff is the greatest player of all time), and I believe Ronaldo will want this and work so hard for it this World Cup. It could be that one thing that separates him from Messi. There Midfield is strong, they have a belting defence, especially with the likes of Ruben Dias breaking through. They have a core of players that have tasted International success and a mix of fresher and fantastic talent breaking through that I think could be a great mix. They could also crash and burn if Spain do them over in their opener, but I just get a feeling with Portugal this World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieg1980 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 86 I remember in parts. I was 5 but I remember vividly the Morocco game on a black and white TV watch Butch chucking the ball at the ref and getting a red. But 90. Nessun Dorma. The San Siro looking out of this world and futuristic. Gazza. New Order, Lothar Matthäus and Cameroon being the major things I took from it. Well worth a look if you have an hour. I can't wait though. 2 days is too long to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there could be some serious unrest in the Spain camp now. The Spanish FA are calling a press conference this morning, where some are speculating that they are going to replace head coach Lopetegui after he accepted the Real Madrid job. The day before the World Cup begins! Mental. There must be something special about him, if Spain, Read Madrid and Sporting Wolverhampton have all been clamouring for him.

Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 13, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted June 13, 2018 Interesting that most of us have gone for a similar theme when it comes to predicting England's scapegoat. It really speaks volumes about how we feel about our wonderful media and their 'hidden' agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP RULZ Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Well this World Cup is hitting the ground running with big news before it has even started. Seems madness to sack him now, I get they weren't happy with him taking the Madrid job but surely keeping him was a better option then now finding a replacement just 2 days before the opening game.

It does, but reading the comments from the Spanish FA President you can understand that they had little choice. They didn't know he was even approached for the Real job, let alone accepted the role, until 5 mins before Real announced it. 2 days before the World Cup as well, after having just signed a contract extension with Spain only a few weeks ago.
