Looking at the two sides tomorrow I think that Portugual have the better side.
Could we go into the game tomorrow for the first time not expecting to win therefore freeing up our game?

How do you see the Portuguese as having the better side?

If they had been at full strength they would prob have been the favorities due to the way we have been playing.

But with their poss injuries and suspensions we have to be the favorities

They play better as a team.
They have the best defender in Europe
They have one of the best managers in world football
They have a good team spirit
They know they have the upper hand on England
The media pressure on England is stupidly high and it is showing.

I'd agree with 3 of those.
I think it's a very evenly matched contest. Could be a great game.
(The bookies have England slight favourites BTW).

we are favourites , corals are saying evens , portugal 7 / 2 . Lop sided odds imo .

Though the odds that the bookies give depends on what people are betting on. If everyone was betting of Portugal then they would be fav.

It's certainly looking like it could be an all Latino semi -final, and I think we have the best chance of breaking it up as the token Northern European team

See what you say but the question to me seemed to me about the ability and quality of players between each team which is why I asked the question because man for man I think England shave it.

They play better as a team. - True
They have the best defender in Europe - In your opinion
They have one of the best managers in world football - True
They have a good team spirit - So do we don't we? So no advantage.
They know they have the upper hand on England - Don't agree, that is history.

Probably true
