Portugal moving away from the colour of JJ's top to a red colour is a loss

[jannoottenburghs]

While at Belgium he never wanted to change tactics or players in the first 11

[bconni]

Portugal has so much quality, Martinez has the luxury to experiment with different lineups and formations. as the tourney goes on he'll eventually settle into something he's comfortable with.

[piky]

Portugal is the reason for me to watch euro

[chknman]

bruno fernandes and bernardo silva defensive work rate is actually really important, with good players like ruben dias and palinha the portugal defense is deadly

[llaedonnieuwenhoudt]

BRUNO FERNANDES!

that's the key

[alexOO]

I like how he put England at #1 and thought I wouldn't notice

[fishyfish]

Honestly imagine what Lionel Scaloni could do with a squad like Portugal. Argentina squad looks average compared to Portugal

[isaacnewton]

Hasn’t Ronaldo been playing like that since 2016? Albeit to great effect

[basicthings]

Not to talk about Portugal demolishing Turkey recently. Yes, Turkey played very badly but it was the hardest game from Portugal’s group.

[joelcoelho]

Martinez tested a lot of formations with the same style of play, i hope he got it for the tournament. (Without Ronaldo starting games)

[EpicGammingCrew]

I love the consistent British gall of “no actually we pronounce your name right” lol

[clashfire_editz]

They should never play back 3 ever again.

[nunoafonso]

They were very good against Turkey, he'll probably keep the 4-3-3

[anthonylam]

That Portugal kit! Loved mine back in the day.

[pro-xinyang]

Bottled with Belgium, back at it with Portugal 😂

[HectorTWE]

"Some amazing individual players" Doesn't show Leao. Extremely disrespectful

[alanspring]

Portugal hold your head in shame as they were humbled miraculously by Georgia 😊

[robwalters]

You guys are getting really good with the visual effects on these shorta

[portugalfc]

Although they have so many great individual players, but their record against the big nations in football has really been poor. They just can’t win against them
