Tricky test this one against Portugal. Not too sure exactly what to expect but they will be no push overs.

Important thing in this game will be to take all 3 points to remove some of the pressure from the 2nd game against them. For the two Portugal games, I think 4 points is the aim, six points would pretty much guarantee qualification in 2nd place though.

Only place I can see an edge on is strikers, otherwise it looks like a very even match.

Usual prediction comp running though.

I agree with the win and the draw. I just think the draw will come first.

1-1 at half time, looking the better side after a poor initial 10 minutes.

1-1 it ends.

Wingers were quite disappointing, other than the movement that led to the goal. Looked better with Lowery on the other wing, but he isn't really the sort of player worth using for a full game. 6-4 on shots to them, but there was a lot of times where Patterson or Madsen got close to goal and got beaten by their keeper to the ball or didn't shoot (which was annoying).

Wingers would probably have been better slightly further up the pitch. Thought Brad Ritch looked very well suited to the def mid role though. Defs were more or less at the right level, except on the goal line area where a notch more forward would have tightened things up.

Got to aim for victory in the next match against Portugal, another draw would be acceptable but far from ideal.

the goal was quite nice from the wingers cross

IMO there were too many strange offsides :\ Looks like was checked only to the nearest defender when behind striker were two more.
