Portugal v Chile - Confederations Cup

[whitelion]

Surprised ITV are going with this on their prime channel as there's limited interest I would imagine.

No home nations involved.

Exactly my thought.

Shouldn't it be "whoop whoop, no soaps!! "

I have just tuned in and thought it was the Coronation Street Cup..............

Really surprised for such a tinpot tournament- itv4 would have been a better option

This would be more appropriate.

As a result I'm watching Channel 4 news rather than Emmerdale.

If my 6 year old knew it was on he would insist on watching. Obsessed with Ronaldo that boy. He plays football by himself, and pretends Ronaldo plays for the Albion

But Gonzalo Jara is playing !

 

[WATFORD zero]

I was going to ask whether that was our (ex) Jara ? Not a bad effort but not in the same flair league as Bruno

He hardly misses a game for Chile. Still do a decent job for a year?

Well that makes all the difference.

Exciting couple of periods of extra time. Portugal cheating repeatidly and Chile hitting woodwork multiple times plus that headed bending out.

Unfortuantely expect the writing is on the wall

Penalties

 

[Frutos]

What an utterly shite set of penalties from Portugal, particularly that 3rd one.

 

[Blackadder]

3 dreadful pens by Portugal there. Don't think I have ever seen such a short shoot out.

 

[Paris]

Even the England U21's might have beaten Portugal on penalties tonight.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Glad about that result. They couldn't even take a fair penalty having to stutter step about 8 times on the last one yet it's still saved. Just don't dick about and smash it in a corner!

Having only seen extra time here as that started around 4a.m. here as it was....... seemed right result.
