    Does this mean you'll be donning a beret and a string of onions later?

    Even if the keeper isn’t a spastic there it’s still a goal. Ruben Dias collapsed into his boots like an accordion instead of jumping

    Pele saying in 1977 that an African team would win the World Cup by 2000 has now been mentioned four times on commentary in 46 minutes. Why? 2000 was 22 years ago. Is this their only possible point of reference for an African side leading in a World Cup game?

    I want Portugal through for betting reasons, but I'm not sure it's worth it if Ronaldo is the one to drag them over the line.

    Morocco and their Arab mates on the North coast hardly count as African. Pele knew that better than anyone, so they need to stop butchering his quote in case they finish him off.

    The only way an African team could win would be if West Africa merged into a single state, or something. Otherwise the talent is too thinly spread.

    Either that or via Morocco Greece-ing their way to this title, which really isn't impossible you know.

    That left-back from Morocco has been everywhere it feels like. He's the one that seems to stop most Portuguese attacks.

    The high-performing Nigerian diaspora could eventually take over everywhere and then Tebbit Test the motherland into contender status.

    Regragui had better hope the geezers don't equalise here, as he's taken off all his attacking fooballers.

    Belgium/Spain/Portugal having been eliminated by them suggests this is a bit presumptuous. No Saiss is a miss for them though.

    Conceding 0 goals against those sides too.

    Only Canada has scored against them and that was an own goal.

    I don't think they're weak and it'll be a game to make eyes bleed, but I just can't see them continuing that run. It's probably academic anyway mind, given who we're facing in 2 hours.

    You mean how there was no chance that Greece eliminated Spain, France, Czech Republic (which were the favorites to win the whole thing at that point) and Portugal (beating them twice) to win the Euros?
