11/1 on SkyBet...

It was 20/1 before kick off!!

It's a moot point now... I've placed the bet so no chance of it happening

Have to be honest I flicked on the BBC and thought "Oh, female commentator, didn't expect that" but after a few minutes it doesn't really register.

Could be worse, could be Ally McCoist or Andy Townsend.

I've nothing against a female commentator, but they could have picked a decent one.

Liking this Ricardo interview "They don't miss them, I save them"

What irritates me is that, although she is not Australian she ends every sentence with an upward inflection as if asking a question. She is Jaqui Oatley born in Northampton, knows her football but a mildly irritating voice.

The diving and cheating by Portugal is laughable

[The Brummie]

World diving champions 2018 - Portugal.

Tard.

Glad I didn't get 90 minutes of this female voice, only switch he'd on 15 minutes ago.
Is she talking through her nose ?

BBC should have brought Eilidh Barber to Russia ,she has a lovely voice.

Feel for Morocco. They were the better team.

[RichB]

I loved Martin Keown's comment that if he'd fallen over like when playing against Shearer he'd have just laughed and walked over him.

[Jordan210]

Im getting a bit sick of how poor the refs are with extra time.

5 mins added on Portugal waste 1-2 mins by flopping around and so on. Ref blows on exactly the amount shown by the 4th official.

its meant to be a minimal about of time not a maximum.

I only saw the 2nd half but they certainly created more, however they failed to put away any chances and they had several. I hear Portugal scored from a dubious penalty. Shame...

[Puggit]

Not sure who that Amrabat player was, but he certainly isn't the Watford player. No way...

That concussion seems to have turned him in to a footballer.

they scored from a header at a corner. don't know if it was a dubious one though.

Pepe takes it to another level, 2 taps on the shoulder and he's down.
