Other Games - 2026 FIFA Men’s World Cup Edition (+ warm-up matches): Villa-watch

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Danny's comment that Portugal need someone upfront with Ronaldo is not reflecting the reality of remove Ronaldo and they will be more of a threat.

CR7 continuing to start is just a vanity project now. I think the manager and Portuguese FA are too afraid to drop him.
Remember he shouldn’t even be playing as he was banned, but it was ‘written off’ by FIFA.

Martinez doesn't have the balls to end this circus.

Konsa starts, as expected.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Nice.

Konsa starts, as expected.

Good, hope we see Morgan and Ollie too at some point tonight.

[Somniloquism]

Over 60 mins between scoring and having another shot. Against Congo.

They definitely had a second effort the stattos called a shot in the first half as it ended with 2. However the first lame Ronaldo effort was the first this half and definitly the goal is the only one they have had on target.

[Dogtanian]

I think we will. It’s going to be interesting.

[Dogtanian]

Great corner.

[Villa Lew]

No Villa player no England

[N'ZMAV]

it appears the Messi v Ronaldo debate is long over.

[Dogtanian]

Got to be more dangerous than that on the break, they need to make Portugal worry.

[Somniloquism]

Ronaldo will claim it as a shot on target as the keeper caught it.

[N'ZMAV]

No Villa player no England

Konsa's playing

[Hampshire Villa]

These timeouts are a real pain. Let’s see if anyone can score in the 4th quarter

Madueke is very lucky to be getting into the team, sadly there's no one on the right who is in particularly good form to push him out.

Also whoever decided it's a good idea to put the team sheet out in number order rather positions (and this isn't a new complaint) is a fucking arse, having you right back at the bottom of the list is clearly bollocks.
