Do you expect them to go nuclear?

if you mean bombing the goal yeah no, they are more tight defensively, time will tell

Disappointing for him but he gets rest this Summer which might help us and him and, if he stays fit, I have the feeling he will be on of their star players in the Euros in 2 years time.

It´s tough, you never know what´s going to happen in 2 years time but both William and Danilo are only 26, they should reach the next Euro on their prime. Portugal has 3 top players for the same position, unfortunatly we don´t have that depth in the other positions.

They have a few decent players but I'm not convinced they're better now than they were in 2014.

I'm gutted he wasn't called. Should be reason enough to fire Santos from our national team.

Some of the players that were called might as well be retired. Bloody hell.

Portugal boss Fernando Santos on Rúben Neves not making the World Cup squad: "Portugal rarely plays with a number six. The way we qualified, we hardly used this specifically."

"If we need someone to play in that position, we have other players that I trust."

Hmmmm.

Then why pick him in the first place?
