One of the joys in life is seeing Bruno pissed off

Portugal look afraid to take anyone on so far. Happy to just pass it around and not try to create chances.

Gonna wear down the front line of Congo eventually. Congo just as happy to not bring anyone up to help press.

I have to think they're letting Ronaldo get his ego stroked against Congo and he won't start against Colombia.

Nearly their entire 11 plays in a high press system at their club, you can't run that effectively with Ronny refusing to defend

I was hoping they'd bring him off the bench especially now with how many subs are allowed, but so far nope
Like you said, maybe against the stronger teams

Watching teams that get away with flopping all the time not get the call and their minds are blown is so fun to watch

Anyone remember that movie "Congo"? I forgot that movie existed until today.

The announcers are right, Portugal has 3 central players that all want to do the same thing.

They need someone to stretch the back line because Ronaldo isn’t going to do it.

Came here to post this. Portugal look shell shocked when they don't get the whistle

It's incredibly refreshing. If the big 5 leagues were officiated the same way they would be a lot more enjoyable to watch.

The flip side of that is you have to call actual fouls. Messi stamping a guys leg last night could have been a red card and it wouldn't have been harsh. To not receive a yellow was nuts
