Let's create a small community of football lovers out there. This thread intends to add value to our knowledge of the game and to hone our understanding about the game. Although football comes with banter, let us try to keep the discussion objective and civil to the maximum extent possible.
Both Messi and Ronaldo are the legends of the game. Period. So, please do not bring up this debate :)
@KingSlayer23 mate Portugal won the last Euro solely riding on their defence.
yeah, that's why I said that in international tournaments defensive teams do go the distance. Although it was not all about defence for Portugal, like for instance, the 3-3 game against Hungary was the big turning point in the group stage, but yeah you are right by and large their defence was a big factor for them in scrapping results against Poland and Croatia
Am I wrong to think that this group stage is far more exciting than what we have had at previous major tournaments? Is it because of the formats(4 3rd placed teams going through)?
yeah the format makes it interesting...it was the same case in Euro 2016 too especially the group with Hungary and Portugal
