Portugal had not reached a World Cup quarterfinal since 2006

The last three performances at the World Cups in Portugal were somewhat disappointing.

The Portuguese had Cristiano Ronaldo in full, but they were not able to repeat the performance of the year 2006, where they reached the semifinals against France.

In 2010, Spain eliminated them in the round of 16;

in 2014, they fell in the group stage and in 2018, Uruguay knocked them out of the World Cup in Russia with a stellar performance by Cavani.

Cristiano's anger sets Portugal on fire

Diego Torres

"You're in a damn hurry to kick me out, fuck you!"

These are the words that Cristiano Ronaldo pronounced against his coach, Fernando Santos, when he replaced him against Korea, after the hour of the last group game in the World Cup in Qatar, on Friday.

This was recorded by Portuguese television, one of whose envoys attended the Santos conference on Monday to ask him about the incident.

"In the field I did not see anything," explained the technician, rueful.

“But what I saw on TV I didn't like at all.

We have resolved this issue between us.

Now we have to think about the future,” he added.

Morocco, a seamless selection

Morocco is a team that is characterized by waiting for the rival in their field with a wonderful defensive background.

In fact, they have only conceded one goal in four games after drawing with Croatia (0-0);

win against Belgium (2-0) and Canada (2-1) and go through penalties against Spain after a goalless draw in regulation time and the subsequent extension.

Yassine Bono, a 'millionaire' in Morocco's goal

Lorenzo Calonge

"Bono is more Argentine than me," Papu Gómez told his close people these days about the Moroccan goalkeeper and his teammate at Sevilla.

At the great party in the African locker room after eliminating Spain, the goalkeeper started to sing a song by the River fans, and while he was leaving the stadium, he almost secretly dared to sing one of the best known: “For that love, I encourage you from the cradle [to the drawer]…”, he hummed.

Spain does not know what to do with the ball and is eliminated against Morocco

Jose Samano

Going back to our review of the press, we have not remembered Morocco's last game, the victory against Spain on penalties.

Achraf Hakimi, a boy born in Madrid, condemned an incapable Spain to World Cup exile.

So incapable that he, not even with three penalties, managed to beat Morocco, a selection of steel.

A team that reached the quarterfinals for the first time after shielding themselves wonderfully against Bono, a hero on penalties.

Soccer World Cup

Portugal frees itself without Cristiano and overwhelms Switzerland

Diego Torres

And the eighths arrived and the catharsis in Portugal.

Cristiano Ronaldo stayed on the bench and his team learned to win without number 7. And to thrash.

The catharsis cured the melancholy of Portugal.

It is not the first time this has happened nor will it be the last.

The World Cup pays dramatic situations.

Many teams implode in transit.

The insults that Cristiano Ronaldo hurled at his coach, Fernando Santos, when he replaced him in the last group game, precipitated the adoption of summary disciplinary measures.

Santos had no choice but to restore his authority.

He left the captain out of the lineup and the dressing room, which had distanced itself from Cristiano for months, becoming more and more self-absorbed, finally felt liberated.

Portugal ceased to be the preserve of the 37-year-old goalscorer to become the team of Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes and João Felix, three superlative players who are defined by their sense of association, their generosity and their global vision of the game,

everything that never characterized CR.

Among the three they exalted Gonçalo Ramos, the substitute for the fallen idol, who scored three goals in the demolition of Switzerland, the touchstone of a team that joins the favorites.

Winning momentum drives Morocco

ramon besa

Morocco finished the group stage as the unbeaten leader after defeating rookie Canada on the final day.

For the second time in their history, the Moroccans reached the round of 16.

Nothing like this has been remembered in the African country for 36 years, when in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico it also entered the round of 16 crossover and was eliminated by Germany , winner with a late goal from Mathäus.

Korea beat Portugal and qualify by surprise

Diego Torres

Already qualified for the last day, the Portuguese presented a team with many rotations and were surprised by South Korea, who won the game and earned qualification in extremis.

Ninety minutes of irrelevance gave way to six decisive minutes when, after a corner kick, the clearance fell at the feet of Heungmin Son.

Fresh from regulation time, the superb Tottenham striker led the solo counterattack across a half-empty field.

For a few moments only he and Palhinha inhabited it.

But Palhinha, who presumes to be tough, loosened up, and instead of overtaking him, he gave ground to him.

Son took advantage of the time given to him by his opponent to wait for Hwang Hee-chan, who arrived to score the winning goal for South Korea, qualifying it for the round of 16 at the expense of Uruguay.

The South American team was left out of the tournament by a goal difference despite winning their last game.

Morocco unstitches Belgium

Jon Rivas

Morocco gave its first big surprise on the second day.

Against the Belgium of De Bruyne and Courtois, the Atlas Lions gave the first blow.

Roberto Martínez saw it so black, that he had to resort to Lukaku, who is not one hundred percent, but even with those he was unable to activate his team, which crashed before the approach of Walid Regragui, who won the tactical battle from the start. beginning to the end.

He had already shown Belgium signs of weakness in the first game against Canada.

Then it was Courtois the hero, on the brink of half-time, when he saved a penalty that frustrated the Canadians, this time the villain, but in reality it was a choral disaster.

Morocco made the team see the seams, which did not react to the goal and received the final blow after a long kick from Munir that Ziyech controlled.

Bruno Fernandes subdues Uruguay

Diego Torres

On the second day, Portugal secured their place in the round of 16 after beating Uruguay with two goals from Bruno Fernandes. 

Portugal suffered to reach firing positions.

The lack of coordination between Cristiano and Bruno was reproduced promptly with gestures of reciprocal disapproval.

The misunderstandings culminated with a shot by Cristiano to his teammate's body, in an episode that revealed the difficulties of the most powerful team to refine the touch in the last meters, where the presence of the striker that the club is now looking for is exhausting for the opposing defenders and oppressive to his own companions.

Only after the hour of the game did Portugal confirm its dominant position with a play loaded with randomness.

Bruno Fernandes crossed a rained ball, Varela broke the offside position and Cristiano made as if to head in front of the confused goalkeeper.

With Rochet defeated, the ball went into the net without anyone else touching it but Bruno and the 1-0 score changed the dynamics of the game.

Modric only needed to score against Morocco

ramon besa

For its part, Morocco debuted against Modric's Croatia, which awaits in the semifinals after ousting Brazil.

That game ended goalless but made it clear that the two teams had come to Qatar to compete. 

The appointment was grateful from the beginning, nervous and dizzying, both teams very liberated, as if they did not belong to the World Cup.

Morocco trembled at times with the ball and chained three unforced turnovers that the surprised Croatian forwards could not finish.

The one who managed to pass the divide, however, settled down because she opened the field well on the sides with the full-backs, preferably by Achraf's, she used the changes of orientation with great sense and warned that she had a talent to intimidate the runner-up From Russia.

Ziyech, in any case, had much less prominence than Modric, omnipresent and luminous, a dancer also in Qatar.

Cristiano's MVP does not hide Portugal's melancholy against Ghana

Diego Torres

Portugal opened with a victory against Ghana in the match in which Cristiano Ronaldo scored in his fifth World Cup, the only player to do so in history. 

Without doing more than Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva or Bruno Fernandez, the myth was enough with his penalty goal, his name and reputation, to enjoy the good publicity of FIFA in a match that did not clear up the unknowns that hang over him. your selection.

Ghana, a rudimentary team, put Portugal in trouble too easily.
