Game 22: Sweden v Portugal

[lambers]

I'm opting for this one, as Portugal have been very entertaining in previous matches. Hopefully that will continue, it's been a fairly open start.

Swedes lead. The replacement gk spills a corner. Are Portugal going to have to come back from 2-0 again?

Sweden 2-0 up, so Portugal can start playing now.

I don't think that 3-0 should have survived the VAR check. Not because of the keeper's antics, but because of the shirt pull.

edit: Ilestedt pulls Costa so that the latter cannot head the ball away. Really ought to have been called back.

[lambers]

3-0 at the half, the keeper not covering themselves in glory again.

Think I'll switch to the other game for the second half. Three seems a bit of a stretch against a decent Swedish defense.

[Nesta]

5-0 now, Portugal not going to manage a stirring comeback in this one you wouldn't think
