00:00PORTUGUESE NATIONAL TEAM
00:30You've been so good in that first half.
00:32We've been teaching Nigel a few expressions, okay?
00:34So, Fernando Santos looks like a man who by mistake has run his own dog over
00:38because he looks so sad all the time.
00:40He must be buzzing inside.
00:42What justification for his change tonight?
00:44I mean, you've got to give credit where credit is due.
00:47To be the manager of this Portuguese team
00:49and also to leave one of your best players in the last decades out on the bench,
00:52that says something about the willingness, you know, to think in the team effort.
00:56And that Leon kid, that Gomez kid that comes in,
00:59shows exactly the energy that you want to see as a manager.
01:02And scoring the first goal, that's the reaction you want to see.
01:04Magnificent.
01:05And he's one for the future.
01:07Only made his first start last month,
01:09and to come on this stage in the last 16
01:11and be for this significant importance, that is unbelievable.
01:14I mean, credit to the coach
01:17and credit for the young kid to perform in the first half.
01:2033 minutes of international football
01:22and it takes him 17 minutes in this game to open the score.
01:25It's been a problem.
01:26Held the ball up well, some nice touches.
01:28But that goal was, like Ali said,
01:31for me, when you look at it, far too much space here
01:34when you look for Jair Felix and the game he's having.
01:36He's really showing what he's capable of.
01:37That's unbelievable.
01:39When you look at it from this side,
01:41Jair Felix, like I said, has got far too much space.
01:43But once Ramos gets it, you almost see the defender saying,
01:46go on then, because there's no way you're going to get it
01:49in that side of the goal at that angle.
01:51So he's kind of not even putting his foot out.
01:53But he smashes this.
01:55This is just pure exuberance of youth.
01:57Just saying, I'm just going to hit that.
01:59I'm going to hit that right on target.
02:00Do you think this is complacency by the defender?
02:02I mean, you can't leave that ball like that.
02:05He doesn't believe he's going to get that crossing.
02:06No, I don't think he thinks he can score.
02:10And this one, I think with this one,
02:12with the way this ball comes through,
02:13I'm thinking he's going to let it run round.
02:15Come round it on your right foot
02:16and just slot it over there where the goalie is.
02:18Because the goalie's coming across on his side.
02:19Do you see him there?
02:20So if he opens his body up,
02:22then he can just whip it in that side.
02:23But, you know, it took 21-33 minutes
02:26and it's a brilliant goal he's scored.
02:27He'll learn.
02:28Absolutely learn.
02:29He's so direct, isn't he?
02:30He's giving them a focal point.
02:31Massive problem.
02:32There is 18 years difference between the two goal scorers.
02:35Pepe is the oldest ever scorer
02:37in a knockout game in the World Cup.
02:38Roger Millet was older and scored in the group stages as well.
02:42Talk us through the header
02:44and what Switzerland were doing
02:45in terms of their marking or not.
02:47Well, he attacks it brilliantly, Pepe.
02:48But I said the other day, I felt really comfortable
02:50I've been playing man-to-man all my life on corners.
02:52That this new zonal system
02:53I've been playing players across the box
02:55was the right way.
02:56But Fernandes there, who's the blocker on the penalty spot,
03:00he has to block that run of Pepe
03:02to not allow Pepe on to Akanji and Schär.
03:04Once he gets past him, I mean, he gets up so early, Pepe.
03:08Schär gets underneath it.
03:09He's had a difficult first half
03:10and Akanji can't get across.
03:11But the header is fantastic.
03:13It really is.
03:14It is bad defending.
03:15It is really bad defending.
03:16They're going to have to surely go back to 4-2-3-1
03:19simply because they're playing with the 5 at the back.
03:21Xhaka's dropping in there.
03:22There's so much space for Bernardo Silva.
03:24Felix, who's having an unbelievable game,
03:26you know, to run into and do all this.
03:28It's like they're literally...
03:30I don't know what they're doing.
03:31They're going to have to change that.
03:33Some flowers blossom when they're no longer in the shade.
03:36Is that what's going on?
03:38Another English phrase, yeah?
03:40Felix just suddenly looks...
03:43Listen, you've all played with brilliant players.
03:45Sometimes you are a little bit intimidated,
03:47even subconsciously.
03:48I've got to give them the ball, whatever.
03:50Suddenly, they're puffing out their chest.
03:52That is something also that you find in a squad with young players.
03:56Now, all of a sudden, they're given a position
03:59that they feel an importance by a coach.
04:01Sometimes when a bigger player sits on the bench,
04:04the hierarchy changes.
04:06Not because he's not important anymore,
04:09but on the pitch, the coach trusts you to do the job for him.
04:12I think they've got to try.
04:15Felix is just going wandering.
04:17If they can, if they can get it right this half Switzerland,
04:19they can really get some stuff going down on their right-hand side
04:22when he vacates that space.
04:23They've got to do something.
04:25If they carry on like this, they're going to get another two or three.
04:27I know them two made me say Switzerland this time.
04:30And I didn't want to because I saw this.
04:32That was awful.
04:33Put the hand up your back.
04:34You look like a little puppet.
04:36Competition time with the goals flying in here at this World Cup.
04:39The prize fund is growing ever larger.

05:16Entrants must be 18 or over.
05:18Paid entry routes close at 10am on Monday 9th January.
05:21Good luck.
05:35Switzerland have made a change at the break.
05:37Let's rejoin Ali McCoy and Clive Tilson.
06:07Hence the rather strange pronunciation.
06:13Portugal have a very good record at the Euros.
06:17They've been quarter-finalists at six of the last seven tournaments.
06:22But they've found progress at the World Cup more difficult.
06:25Not got past this stage since 2006
06:28when they lost to a French penalty in the semis.
06:31So they haven't actually won a World Cup knockout game
06:35for 16 years.
06:37You think of the players who played for Portugal in that time.
06:40It's quite eye-opening.
06:42But they're well on the way to winning this one.
06:46The good news is Clive's sanity has revealed.
06:49At four, yes.
06:55Bored by Rodriguez.
06:57Pepe has got to see it out.
06:59And Bolo will make sure of that.
07:02So Akanji and Jome are playing at the heart of the defence.
07:06And Ricardo Rodriguez here
07:08is the conventional left-back again.
07:16That's just about going to reach head in Milson Fernandes.
07:27Akanji here wouldn't have need telling
07:30what was in store for him this evening
07:32from the likes of Bernardo Silva and Ruben Diaz,
07:36his club-mates.
07:41But it's not just the Ronaldo decision.
07:43No Cancelo tonight, no Neves.
07:45Big calls which have come off
07:49for Fernando Santos.
07:51So far.
07:55Carvalho.
08:00Slipped it enticingly
08:03into the path of the on-running Shroud Felix.
08:08Jome had to get across here, Clive,
08:10because he was two yards deep up.
08:11It was Bernardo Silva making the run, I beg your pardon.
08:15That's a Swiss stroke.
08:38And that was a good one.
08:41Bernardo Silva.
08:47What a get.
08:56It's short enough that, I tell you.
08:58He's gone off the side of his head there.
09:01Akanji.
09:04There's Manchester City team-mates coming into
09:08direct opposition.
09:09And the other ones now inside the Swiss penalty area
09:13waiting for this corner from Bernardo Silva.
09:26Ricardo Rodriguez just managed to prod it away.
09:39Largest stadium in Qatar is pretty full this evening.
09:55We'll see to see to what degree Portugal
09:59look to manage this lead.
10:01And how much they're prepared
10:03to risk in terms of increasing it
10:06and putting the game beyond Switzerland.
10:10I tell you, somebody that probably deserves a mention
10:12in first-half performance.
10:14I knew he's always been a player,
10:15but I just haven't seen enough of him.
10:17That was Jome Felix.
10:20Looked like a player that you would spend a few quid on, didn't he?
10:26Well, he's been making a substitute
10:27at Atletico Madrid this season.
10:29There's talk of him moving on in January.
10:31There's talk of Manchester United being interested in him.
10:34But there was one burst across the halfway line
10:38in their first half,
10:40which displayed a power and an athleticism
10:43that I've never really associated with him.
10:49He was only 23 last month.
10:52Plenty of time.
10:58Hung well by Otavio Bruno Fernandes.
11:05He's just run away from Freuler there.
11:09Bernardo Silva.
11:10Bruno Fernandes.
11:12Gonzalo Ramos was waiting.
11:16Vargas did just enough.
11:18He is Diogo Dalot.
11:21Oh, it's caught again!
11:24What a night he's having!
11:26Gonzalo Ramos!
11:30When his head hit the pillow last night
11:32and he closed his eyes,
11:35I wonder if he even dared
11:38to think any of this might happen to him.
11:41He looks almost overcome by it.
11:45But he has taken everything that's come his way
11:48and he's tried tonight.
11:49He can't believe it's happening to him.
11:51Look at that smile.
11:52Just look at his face.
11:55Brilliant run.
11:56Front post run.
11:58Excellent ball.
11:59You don't need to go by the front post.
12:00Just get in front of your marker.
12:02Get a touch on it.
12:04He's just trying to get a touch on it
12:05and direct it towards the goal.
12:06Hit the target.
12:07He does.
12:08He gets a little bit of luck
12:09to get through the goalkeeper.
12:10Jan Sommer's legs.
12:11Dalot does very well.
12:13Vargas not so well.
12:14Vargas not so well.
12:16When you're making that run,
12:17it's a great run.
12:18Just get in front of the defender.
12:19Just get a touch on it
12:20and you take your chances.
12:22And I guess he's breaking through the goalkeeper's leg.
12:26Good skill on the right-hand side from Dalot.
12:30Well done.
12:37I mean, World Cup finals are
12:40tense,
12:41stressful
12:43events for the participants,
12:45particularly the
12:46players and the teams that come here
12:48with high expectations.
12:49With expectation
12:51comes the pressure.
12:53But here is a young man who's
12:55come out tonight
12:57with no sign of any weight whatsoever
12:59on his shoulders.
13:01That
13:02smashing first goal
13:04would have helped him settle up.
13:05But isn't it great to see a grin
13:07on a football fan?
13:08100 percent, Clive.
13:09It's great.
13:10And he's made a couple of really intelligent runs as well,
13:12particularly in the first half
13:13when he makes that front post run.
13:15He doesn't get it.
13:16That's fine.
13:17He may get it the next time.
13:18And he did.
13:20You're not supposed to enjoy it.
13:21Not this much.
13:25This is heavy-duty,
13:27top-level football
13:29knockout football
13:31and Switzerland have been totally knocked out
13:35by the sheer vim and zist
13:38of Gonzalo Ramos.
13:403-0.
13:44It could be anything there.
13:45Shroud-Felix.
13:50He had options too.
14:00You've got to balance things up a little bit here.
14:02As good as the Portuguese have been
14:04and we've enjoyed it,
14:05they've been excellent.
14:07The Swiss team have been
14:08anything but
14:10defensively, they've been all over the place.
14:17No changes on the way
14:21for Switzerland,
14:22but they will
14:24try to defend this corner first.
14:25Something they failed to do
14:26once in the first half.
14:32Bruno Fernandes.
14:34Pepe!
14:36They used to get the header down,
14:37but
14:38it didn't
14:39bounce through
14:40to Shroud-Felix.
14:42Again, it's just too easy, isn't it?
14:45He's up well
14:48in Bolo,
14:49but
14:50Pepe's a good
14:52foot above him,
14:53just knocks it down
14:54into a dangerous area.
15:24A couple of 25-plus goal seasons in Portugal.
15:27He knows the players he's playing against.
15:29He's an experienced
15:30tournament striker,
15:31number nine,
15:32Haris Seferovic.
15:37And Bolo's not enjoying this.
15:49Seferovic scored a
15:50first-minute winner
15:52against
15:54Portugal
15:55back in June,
15:56when the
15:57two teams met
15:58twice in
16:00the space of seven days
16:01in the Nations League.
16:06Here goes Shroud-Felix.
16:07And here's Gonçalo Ramos.
16:10It's fantastic football.
16:12Just a wonderful,
16:13wonderful goal
16:15scored by Rafael Guerrero.
16:17And Portugal
16:19are playing
16:21football
16:22which only Brazil
16:23have matched in this
16:24tournament so far.
16:26They are cutting
16:27through Switzerland
16:29at will
16:30and doing it
16:31with style
16:32and panache.
16:34And Guerrero has
16:35added his name
16:36to the goal-scoring
16:37list.
16:38And it's four.
16:40They've been a joy.
16:41Absolute joy.
16:45I mean, they're all
16:46over the place.
16:47And Emílson-Fernández
16:48again.
16:49Right, look,
16:50where's your right back?
16:51Where's your left back?
16:52Take nothing away
16:53from the finish.
16:54It's an excellent goal.
16:55Beautifully worked.
16:56They've just been
16:57so clever.
16:59Just lifts it high into
17:00the roof of the net.
17:01That backflip there
17:02from
17:03Octavio is sensational.
17:05Excellent.
17:06And the finish.
17:07High into the roof
17:08of the net
17:09from
17:10Guerrero.
17:11Finished like a
17:12centre-forward
17:13I would suggest.
17:15Goalkeeper, no chance.
17:17It's his second
17:18international goal
17:19in more than six years,
17:20Rafael Guerrero.
17:21That's not what he's
17:22in the team to do.
17:23But that's what they
17:24are doing.
17:26They're playing with
17:27freedom.
17:29Yeah.
17:34Their coach has
17:35picked a team
17:36which has put a lot
17:37of faith and
17:38responsibility
17:40in the
17:41eleven names that he
17:42wrote on that
17:43team sheet.
17:45And they have
17:46responded.
17:47Here's
17:48Braile Mbolo
17:49trying to find
17:50some kind of
17:51response for Switzerland.
17:55He may be the
17:56one Swiss player
17:57who can hold
17:58his head up high
18:00tonight Mbolo
18:01but Burak Yakin
18:02has been let down
18:03by too many.
18:06That's for sure.
18:18Shaqiri.
18:20And it's turned in
18:21at the far post
18:22and a consolation
18:23goal.
18:24Manuel Akanji's
18:25got it.
18:29It's difficult to
18:30believe that it's
18:31going to be the
18:32start of anything
18:33important as far as
18:34Switzerland are
18:35concerned.
18:36But it's the start.
18:37I think it comes
18:38off the Portuguese
18:39defender.
18:40It actually comes
18:41off.
18:42Yep, it's Ramos
18:43back helping out.
18:44Can only knock it
18:45into an area.
18:48And it's finished
18:49like a defender.
18:50Goes to his right foot.
18:51Probably a left foot
18:52finish.
18:53I'm not picking a lot
18:54but it knocks it
18:55into an empty goal.
18:56But you put a bit of
18:57quality into the area
18:58anything can happen.
18:59It's a good delivery in.
19:00Forces a flick on from
19:02Portuguese centre
19:03forward.
19:04And Akanji gets
19:05what you would think
19:06would be a consolation
19:07goal, Clive.
19:08His second goal
19:09in 47
19:11caps his first
19:12was in September
19:13against Spain.
19:14It's his only goal
19:15this season before
19:16tonight.
19:17He hasn't scored
19:18against the city
19:19as yet.
19:20And he managed to
19:21get a shit on that.
19:24Has it made
19:25Switzerland feel
19:26any better?
19:27I doubt it.
19:34And he's not
19:35happy.
19:42It's been
19:43extraordinarily
19:44successful at this
19:45level really.
19:46Fernando Santos
19:47in charge of
19:48Portugal now
19:49during which he's
19:50not only won the
19:51European Championships
19:52but also the inaugural
19:53Nations League on
19:54home soil three years
19:55ago.
19:56Yellow card
19:59has been shown
20:00to
20:01Jonat.
20:18But I think the
20:19good news for
20:20neutrals watching
20:21on is there's
20:22no sign of
20:23Portugal settling
20:24for this.
20:25And seeing
20:26the rest of the
20:27game out
20:28which that
20:29Swiss goal
20:30might have
20:31prompted such a
20:32response.
20:33They look as if
20:34they want some
20:35more here.
20:40This thing is
20:41difficult to
20:42kind of curtail.
20:43Boys like
20:44Fernandes
20:45and Aldo Silva.
20:48Just players
20:49they want to play.
20:58And there are
20:59others on the
21:00bench of a
21:01like mind too.
21:10Xhaka.
21:14Rodriguez.
21:35Akanji.
21:36Shaqiri.
21:37Fernandes.
21:38Shaqiri
21:39spotted the
21:40run of
21:41Zakaria.
21:42That will be
21:43a corner kick
21:44to Switzerland.
21:45Yeah,
21:46nice run from
21:47Zakaria.
21:48Forwarded
21:49a lunch
21:50match by
21:51Carvalho.
21:58Look for a
21:59similar
22:00delivery here
22:01I would
22:02imagine.
22:08Defended
22:09rather better
22:10this time.
22:12Rodriguez
22:13keeps it alive
22:14but
22:16only for
22:18Diogo
22:19Costa
22:20to
22:22set Portugal
22:23going forward
22:24again.
22:25William Carvalho.
22:26They are
22:27chanting his
22:28name inside the
22:29stadium.
22:30Penny for
22:31them
22:32Cristiano.
22:38Last time
22:39he appeared
22:40as a
22:41Portuguese
22:42substitute
22:43he was a
22:44teenager.
22:52Xhaka
22:53looking for
22:54Rodriguez.
22:55Dallo
22:56back there.
22:57It was a good
22:58ball actually.
22:59Rodriguez just
23:00had to check
23:01he's running
23:02a little bit
23:03because he's
23:04running off
23:05seat.
23:06Leading by
23:07three or
23:08more.
23:09Do you give
23:10Cristiano a
23:11run for 15
23:12minutes or
23:13do you say
23:14you just sit
23:15there and
23:16watch this?
23:17You give
23:18him a run
23:19for 15
23:20minutes.
23:21Eddie
23:22Nelson
23:23Fernandez.
23:24Pepe
23:25with the
23:26defending.
23:31I just
23:32think you
23:33give him
23:34a run.
23:35Just show
23:36that there's
23:37no ill
23:38feeling.
23:39Everything
23:40accounts good.
23:42Go and
23:43get your
23:44first knockout
23:45goal in the
23:46World Cup.
23:47Shaqiri
23:48penalised
23:49that.
23:50A bit
23:51vindictive
23:52that.
23:56You don't
23:57seem to echo
23:58my opinion
23:59there Clive.
24:00We don't
24:01quite know
24:02what's gone
24:03on.
24:04We quizzed
24:05a few of our
24:06Portuguese
24:07colleagues before
24:08the game to
24:09try to
24:10ascertain
24:11whether it
24:12was purely
24:13a disciplinary
24:14matter or
24:15whether it
24:16was more a
24:17reflection of
24:18Ronaldo's
24:19form and
24:20age.
24:21They felt a
24:22bit of both.
24:23If it's a
24:24punishment then
24:25he's got to
24:26see it out
24:27for the night.
24:28If it's
24:29just a
24:30reminder then
24:31sure,
24:32give him
24:33a chance
24:34to negotiate
24:35these next
24:3615 minutes or
24:37so and
24:38make sure
24:39that the
24:40victory is
24:41assured.
24:51A crowd
24:52urging
24:53Fernando
24:54Santos
24:57to bring on
24:58his skipper.
25:04Bruno Fernandes
25:05didn't quite keep
25:06that in.
25:08I think it is
25:09about him and
25:10I think it
25:11always has
25:12been.
25:13He's an
25:14individual in a
25:15team sport but
25:16his individual
25:17ability and
25:18effectiveness in
25:19particular has
25:20always benefited
25:21the team that
25:22he's played for.
25:23So he's always
25:24made that team
25:25better and I
25:26think the part
25:27of that
25:28effectiveness is
25:29the self
25:30confidence,
25:31the belief,
25:32the confidence
25:33that he can
25:34do it.
25:35He's
25:36a player
25:37without the
25:38man but the
25:39big question is
25:40whether the
25:41player is worth
25:42his place in
25:43this team
25:44anymore.
25:45And that was
25:46the big question
25:47which Eric
25:48ten Haag
25:49answered at
25:50Manchester
25:51United.
26:00A bit of
26:01refilling.
26:02Rodriguez.
26:07Vargas.
26:11Zakaria.
26:14Fernandes.
26:17Shaqiri.
26:26I think just in
26:27terms of refilling
26:28the tank he
26:29may have to make
26:30some changes
26:31sooner rather than
26:32later.
26:33His side have put
26:34an awful lot in
26:35to establish in
26:36this league.
26:37Here's Shaqiri.
26:38That's crazily
26:39wild.
26:48It's not the
26:49Swiss change
26:50that's coming.
26:5722-year-old
26:58striker.
27:00Who plays
27:01his club football
27:02for RB Salzburg
27:03in Austria.
27:04Taking over
27:05from
27:06Ruben Vargas.
27:24Miscontrolled
27:25by Bernardo Silva.
27:26Back next
27:27on,
27:28Gonzalo
27:29Ramos.
27:31The first
27:32hat-trick of
27:33these World Cup
27:34finals
27:35has been scored
27:36by a young man
27:37who could hardly
27:38have expected
27:39to have played
27:40in this World Cup.
27:41Gonzalo
27:42Ramos
27:43has arrived
27:44on the big
27:45stage.
27:47I do think
27:48there'll be a
27:49check by the way
27:50and I hope
27:51it's not going to
27:52wipe the smile
27:53off that face.
27:54So do I.
27:55So do I.
27:56I think they
27:57got a little
27:58upset
27:59with Bernardo Silva's
28:00touch.
28:01But when it breaks
28:02into the young
28:03man's path
28:06he just
28:07it's as if he's
28:08inviting
28:09Jan Sommer
28:10to come out
28:11and go down
28:12and just
28:13the deftest
28:14of touches.
28:1720 times he's run
28:18well
28:19probably just holds
28:20it.
28:21It's a long
28:22ball.
28:24Fernandes does
28:25well with the headers
28:26Rodriguez is poor.
28:28That's a brilliant
28:29touch.
28:30It really is.
28:31Goal kick comes out.
28:32First touch is good.
28:33The second one's
28:34good.
28:35How difficult
28:36is that skill
28:37where the ball's running
28:38away from you there?
28:39Great.
28:40And do you know what he does?
28:41He just stabs it.
28:42He'll tell us after the game.
28:43He knows the ball's
28:44going away from him
28:45but he just
28:46stabs at it.
28:47And he knows the
28:48elevation will come
28:49and get lifted over
28:50the goalkeeper.
28:52It's not his first
28:53hat-trick.
28:54He'd scored one for
28:55Benfica in the
28:56Champions League
28:57in Denmark
28:58against Michelin.
29:02Where has he been?
29:04Here is
29:05Xhaka.
29:09Maybe a strike to
29:10Guerrero.
29:13He said
29:14right here
29:15he'll tell us
29:16all about that finish
29:17and I'm sure he will.
29:18But I imagine
29:19that'll be after him
29:20and Nigel explain
29:21how the fans
29:22expect him to win
29:23this game before
29:24kick-off.
29:28Here's
29:29Joao Felix.
29:34Jomet managed
29:35to get to
29:36Gonzalo Ramos
29:37that time.
29:38He felt that.
29:42He's back on his feet.
29:43He doesn't want to come off.
29:44Oh, no.
29:47You play 2-3 in the
29:48morning
29:49and if you lose it
29:50it's over.
29:51It's over.
29:52It's over.
29:53It's over.
29:54It's over.
29:55It's over.
29:56And if you lose it
29:58Ottavio.
30:02That's what you used
30:03to do in your day.
30:04It was.
30:05I tell you,
30:06I'm just talking about
30:07I mean,
30:08Fernando Santos
30:09Clive.
30:12This is
30:13Ole football,
30:14Ottavio,
30:15Guerrero
30:16and Bruno Fernandes.
30:18They're trying to have
30:19their own
30:20goal of the week
30:21competition here in Portugal.
30:22What a switcher play
30:23again over the head
30:24of
30:25Eddie Nielsen
30:26Fernandes
30:27and it's just coming
30:28into the back post.
30:30He's stretching.
30:32Unlucky Fernandes.
30:33I was just talking about
30:34Fernando Santos.
30:35When you make decisions
30:36Clive,
30:37as a manager,
30:38as a coach,
30:39when you make
30:40decisions you hope
30:41they go well.
30:42When you make
30:43massive decisions
30:44you settle everything
30:45crossed.
30:47Tonight
30:48it just
30:49couldn't have gone
30:50any better.
30:51It could not have
30:52gone any better
30:53for all parties.
30:56Ocampo
30:57Rodriguez
31:03Everybody shuts
31:04the door.
31:14Bruno Fernandes
31:15got back there.
31:17Now on
31:18Ronaldo one.
31:20If you're going to
31:21put him on
31:22I think you put him
31:23on now.
31:24Here's Zakaria
31:26charged down
31:27by Pepe
31:28who's doing a lot of
31:29defending at the moment.
31:30He felt that.
31:31I don't think
31:32you send him on
31:33for 5 or 10 minutes.
31:34If you're going to
31:35put him on
31:36you give him 20.
31:47Jordan Shaqiri
31:48will take.
31:54Nice!
32:25There is a
32:26ceiling in their football.
32:28There are other teams
32:29who are
32:30last 16 teams.
32:33I wonder how much
32:34belief they truly
32:35brought into this
32:37match.
32:45I think the word
32:46filthy has come back
32:47into football
32:48vernacular in the
32:49last few years.
32:51And
32:52some of
32:53Portugal's football
32:54is
32:55bordering on that.
33:01I guess
33:02who's coming on
33:03as a sub?
33:04Go on, I'll give you
33:05one guess.
33:08If you're watching
33:09it with friends
33:10go and have a little
33:11kind of
33:12treat steak.
33:13See if you can guess
33:14who it might be.
33:16There are actually
33:17three coming on.
33:18But I don't think
33:19the other two
33:20are getting the response
33:21that number 7 is.
33:24I'm just looking forward
33:25to Rambo's partner
33:26in the head.
33:36The straight-faced
33:37Fernando Santos.
33:42So we're going to see
33:43Coutinho and
33:44Rafael Horta
33:45too.
33:54Number 16
33:55Petinho of Paris
33:56Saint-Germain.
33:58Number 21
33:59Ricardo Horta
34:00of Braga.
34:03And number 7
34:04Cristiano Ronaldo
34:05no-fix-the-bold.
34:19Off comes
34:20Gonzalo Ramos
34:21along with the
34:22Otavio and
34:23Charles Felix.
34:25Do you think
34:26they'll start
34:27the quarter-final?
34:33Cap number 195
34:34for CR7.
34:38Actually moves him
34:39within one more
34:40appearance of eight.
34:41According to what
34:42FIFA recognises
34:43the all-time record
34:45for men's
34:46international
34:48caps.
34:50As with most
34:51statistics
34:52it's debated
34:53for
34:54exactly what
34:55counts and what
34:56doesn't.
34:57Don't start an argument
34:58with a football statistician
34:59but
35:01195 visits
35:02to the front line
35:03of international football
35:04is just remarkable.
35:05Ridiculous really.
35:11Remember
35:12Lionel Messi played
35:13his 1,000th game
35:14on Saturday.
35:15Ronaldo's tally of
35:16appearances
35:17is
35:18way beyond that.
35:19Nearer
35:201,150.
35:28But
35:29most of the true
35:30legends of this game
35:31have won
35:32the World Cup.
35:42Shaqiri was
35:43bundled over.
35:50Foul on
35:51Mbolo.
35:56Presented to
35:57Bruno Fernandes
35:58on by Ronaldo.
36:02Free kick has been
36:03given.
36:08And what do they want now?
36:10They want Bernardo
36:11Silva's
36:12free kick.
36:13And
36:14it's been
36:15given
36:16by
36:17Ronaldo.
36:19To be taken by
36:20Cristiano
36:21Ronaldo.
36:23Just takes a good
36:24touch there.
36:27Away from
36:28Jumel.
36:29It's already
36:30been booked.
36:35Well you wouldn't
36:36put it past him
36:37would you?
36:49I think
36:50Georgina's in town
36:51isn't she?
36:52I've read of a
36:53visit at the weekend.
37:02On a night when he
37:03has been put in his
37:04place.
37:06Can he take centre
37:07stage?
37:08He struck it pretty
37:09well.
37:10The wall was good.
37:20No way through for
37:21Okafor.
37:50Bruno Fernandes
37:51sussing his
37:52ability.
37:53William Carvalho's
37:54back pass was
37:55shy.
37:57Yeah it was excellent
37:58for Fernandes.
37:59Not so good for
38:00Carvalho.
38:02He's put cost
38:03under a little
38:04bit of pressure
38:05there.
38:20Possession start
38:21there.
38:22The lead is
38:23scratching your
38:24head.
38:37Of course
38:38possession stats on
38:39the official FIFA
38:40board here.
38:4144-45.
38:42That doesn't add
38:43up to 100.
38:44No.
38:49William
38:50Carvalho.
38:51Off the
38:52ball by
38:53Brelen
38:54Bolo.
38:55Shirdan
38:56Shaqiri.
39:20Fernandes
39:21is deflected
39:22across.
39:23It's
39:24out of
39:25bounds
39:26right.
39:27It's
39:28not
39:29a good
39:30play.
39:31It's
39:32not
39:33a good
39:34play.
39:35It's
39:36not
39:37a good
39:38play.
39:39It's
39:40not
39:41a good
39:42play.
39:43It's
39:44not
39:45a good
39:46play.
39:47It's
39:48not
39:49a good
39:50play.
39:51It's
39:52a
39:53severe
39:54action.
39:55Another
39:56take on
39:57Guardia base.

40:06the tournament

40:08can't help

40:10can you?

40:13France

40:15here on
40:16ITV1
40:17If, if England win that game, then they are in this part of the draw.
40:25We're looking at the likelihood now of Portugal versus Morocco on Saturday afternoon.
40:31In the quarter-final before England-France.
40:35The winners of those two quarter-finals would meet in the semi.
40:48Shaqiri.
40:49And Bolo.
40:53It wasn't quite what he had in mind.
40:55Because it came from a missed control.
40:59He's given a corner.
41:08And it comes off the head, good spot.
41:10Maradona's head there.
41:18He just brushed it, didn't he?
41:20Yeah.
41:23It's half before the Portuguese's cup.
41:26Shaqiri.
41:28There's a strong header by Xhaka.
41:31Directed over the bar.
41:33It's a chance, it really is.
41:34It's a good delivery.
41:37It's too much on it, really.
41:40He just wants to redirect it back across the face, if he can.
41:44Chance.
41:48You can see Ruben Neves.
41:53Closing ten minutes or so.
41:55In place of Bernardo Silva.
42:04We're looking at Xhaka's header there.
42:06I suppose there'll be Arsenal fans watching and thinking,
42:08well, at least he's rejoining the camp.
42:11But he's getting to that stage of this World Cup
42:13where you start to check out how deep into the tournament
42:16the best players from York Club are going.
42:19Well, they've lost a sore one, haven't they?
42:22Gabriel Shah is facing a lengthy absence.
42:27One or two Premier League clubs are actually out here
42:29in Middle East training camps,
42:30waiting for their players to drop out of the tournament.
42:33Arsenal, Brighton and Aston Villa have friendlies in Dubai tomorrow.
42:38Liverpool are there.
42:39Tsunya Castle are in Saudi Arabia.
42:42The Carabao Cup resumes two weeks today.
42:45Two days after the World Cup final.
42:47There are Carabao Cup ties.
42:50And the Premier League starts up again on Boxing Day.
42:55Hocker four.
43:04Rodriguez.
43:08Pepe wants to see this out.
43:15Bruno Fernandes.
43:18Corner like one there, didn't he?
43:20Yeah, he did.
43:21Follow through from Rodriguez, not a major.
43:24But just a kick.
43:25Definitely catches him, though.
43:31I was looking at the fixture schedules around Europe.
43:33The French and Spanish leagues have got full fixture lists
43:36three or four days after Christmas.
43:38Italy resumes January the 4th.
43:40Ironically, the one league that doesn't begin again
43:43until January the 20th.
43:45They obviously thought their players would be here to the very end.
43:48The German Bundesliga.
43:52Xhaka not in the same wavelength as Zachary.
43:55Ronaldo was almost racing clear.
43:58Jomad with the cover.
44:02There goes Jomad.
44:14They've just lost their way.
44:16I think Ronaldo might be offside.
44:18Yeah, he's offside.
44:19He's going to try and finish it.
44:21And does.
44:22And the flag goes up.
44:24Just not Jomad.
44:25No, he knows it.
44:27With the greatest of respect, he knows it.
44:29As soon as the ball hits the back of the net, he looks over.
44:31Wonderful finish.
44:32Great job by Jomad.
44:33He knows it.
44:34He knows it.
44:35He knows it.
44:36He knows it.
44:37He knows it.
44:38He knows it.
44:39He knows it.
44:40He knows it.
44:41He knows it.
44:42Wonderful finish.
44:43Great touch.
44:45Everything you'd expect.
44:46But he knows it.
44:48There you are.
44:49It's not even close.
44:51Two yards.
44:55Finished it well though.
45:05Nothing's been confirmed but the strong rumours are that he will head back to the Middle East
45:09to sign for a Saudi club.
45:13Their season resumes on the day of the final in 10 days' time.
45:23Follow that with interest.
45:28He'll be 38 in February.
45:31Got to be thinking about his pension now.
45:43I'll follow most leagues, Clive.
45:48Well, if he goes to that club, their average gains are 16,000.
45:50I mean, it's going to be a very different life for him.
45:53You know, Vincent de Buberkar is there.
45:56David Ospina.
45:59I think that'll be one of the big factors.
46:00Schwegen and Aldo's decision to go there.
46:03You don't think the suggestion of 173 million pounds a year might do?
46:06Well, hopefully.
46:07A partner with a foot.
46:08He is obviously a foot.
46:10What do you make of Portugal without the ball tonight?
46:13They've been very good.
46:14They really have.
46:15Very clever.
46:17You know, as soon as the...
46:19particularly the first half, when the Swiss back three caught it,
46:22they pushed up.
46:24Made it a three.
46:25Ramos was joined by Silvan Fernandes.
46:30And then, you know,
46:31I think it's going to be a very good season for Portugal.
46:33I think it's going to be a very good season for Portugal.
46:35I think it's going to be a very good season for Portugal.
46:37Fernandes.
46:39Prevented them playing out.
46:41You know, they tried to get down the sides with Fernandes and Vargas
46:47on the left-hand side, but they couldn't do it.
46:50Portugal, again, have just been...
46:51I think they've been too clever for them.
46:54Orta.
46:57Delo.
47:00Rocco played a waiting game against Spain today.
47:044-5-1.
47:05Try and play through us.
47:07We'll hit you on the break.
47:10I would expect them to do the same, however.
47:16Here comes Cristiano Ronaldo!
47:19And Djalmar hooked it against him.
47:20It's a goal kick.
47:21Yeah, it's a good challenge.
47:23Just wouldn't come down for it.
47:24And they hit Djalmar as well.
47:25Lovely little flick.
47:26Let's look.
47:27Great through ball, that.
47:29Djalmar as well.
47:30Wouldn't come down for Ronaldo.
47:31Yeah, I'm talking about the difference in Spain
47:33and Ronaldo Clive.
47:35Spain and Portugal.
47:37You've got to say...
47:39Spain knock the ball about,
47:40keep the ball for fun,
47:42however, don't have a real goal-scoring threat.
47:46Tonight, for example,
47:49the young man, Salo Ramos, gets a heart attack,
47:51but they've had a threat from different areas as well,
47:54including Fernandes, Silva, set plays,
47:58obviously Pepe,
47:59and here comes another one,
48:00because Rafael Eto'o has got a girl in him.
48:03He replaces Bruno Fernandes
48:06for the final knockings.
48:11Leal of Milan,
48:12exciting wide player
48:14who's being linked with every club
48:16with a million in the bank.
48:18Need a bit more than that to get him.
48:20Here he is,
48:21over the head of Ronaldo.
48:29Yeah, looks a real challenge, Leal, doesn't he?
48:33Yeah.
48:46Ronaldo's done himself no harm this evening either.
48:50They haven't had a failure, Clive.
48:52Haven't had a failure.
48:58Ruben Neves.
49:04Guerrero.
49:07Showed too much of it to Kanji.
49:12That's a good cover from Neves.
49:14Ruben Dias taking no chances.
49:24Portugal this evening,
49:25Brazil first half last night,
49:26probably as good as anything I've seen in the tournament.
49:28Really enjoyed the performance.
49:29You would think he'd maybe be one of the few Swiss
49:31that would get pass marks this evening, Clive Mbele.
49:35He's been given a break to make way for
49:38Ardent Djosari,
49:39who's made just one brief international appearance
49:42in September, 20-year-old,
49:43in his breakthrough season in
49:45Switzerland with Lucet.
50:00Shaqiri's going to go the distance.
50:02Safarovic.
50:10Ricardo Rodriguez.
50:16Taste of World Cup football for Djosari, number 26.
50:30Too many passes like that.
50:32Put it back that time.
50:37Rodriguez.
50:41Djosari.
50:43Xhaka.
50:46Okafor.
50:49Good defending again by Dalo Ronaldo,
50:51trying to help it on to his
50:53former Manchester United team-mate.
50:56A bit of a tick, that step forward.
50:57He's been excellent tonight, Dalo.
50:58He really has.
51:01Eric ten Haag's put a lot of faith in him this season.
51:05He's only 23.
51:09Fed in and a chance for Okafor.
51:12Flag is up.
51:14But that day means business
51:15from minute one to minute 90.
51:18Already four added minutes coming.
51:21He'll have a part to play in the next few days.
51:24How he handles himself
51:26will be important to the mood in
51:29the camp.
51:31Well, what you've got to say is you look at them getting involved
51:33in the celebrations and
51:35you know,
51:37it's a bit of a
51:39bit of a
51:41bit of a
51:42bit of a
51:43bit of a
51:44bit of a
51:45bit of a
51:46bit of a
51:47bit of a
51:48bit of a
51:50People would argue
51:52that he has to
51:54and I do take that point.
51:57People say he's not got an option.
51:58He actually does.
52:00It's good to see him get involved.
52:02Hopefully, I appreciate
52:04if he's part of our squad.
52:07I find that in the next 48 hours
52:08or so, that's for sure!
52:09Right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right, right
52:39gifted players on the bench too this is the Portugal team to be reckoned with
52:44Rafael Leal makes it six, six of the best
52:50it's just tremendous, I don't know, they both keep a look wrong-footed
52:55with a resignation about him, I saw him when he hits it, his head goes to the right-hand side
53:01I told you he can play this lad, I was a little bit surprised we didn't see him
53:06later on, but what has he made, he's marked, scored earlier in the tournament
53:12this is just a great finish, Benji with his right foot, Liverpool out giving go again
53:16tremendously weighted pass, cuts inside, is the goalkeeper wrong-footed with the
53:23flexion, I'm not sure, it might, you know, it looks as though it comes off, Arkansi
53:29I thought it when I seen the initial, no I don't know if it does actually, it's just a
53:33brilliant finish, well he was very calm the way he finished the third goal off
53:40against Ghana in the first game, that was his first international goal, his second
53:46is pretty special, that was a great goal, and a very special night for Portugal
53:53he was on the field less than five minutes before he treated us to that delight
54:05either foot, both feet, Clyde cuts inside, just hits the far corner to the finish
54:14it's gone, mentioned again, Fernando Santos, it's just been the perfect night
54:18what a night he's had, hat-trick from a young lad, substitute scoring
54:26Ronaldo, Boutinha
54:36it is a corner
54:39Ronaldo just enjoying some moments with the fans behind that goal, I think in a
54:50perverse sort of way, he is quite enjoying it
54:58Boutinha takes
55:01it's a missed time headed by Ruben Diaz
55:10it's been a professionalism about Portugal, amidst all the glitz and glamour
55:17of their performance, there have been some really good performances in the back line
55:26it has been a trademark
55:31when they put a market down anyway, the Gonçalo Ramos, very few perhaps
55:39watching on tonight were too aware of his talents, maybe a lot of you sat down
55:45to watch Cristiano Ronaldo excel this evening, but the man that replaced him
55:50Gonçalo Ramos stole the show with the first hat-trick of the World Cup finals
55:55but he was only part of a team exhibition from Portugal, who have
56:01thrashed Switzerland by six goals to one
