PortuGOAL’s Matthew Marshall and Tom Kundert discuss Portugal’s 3-2 win against Ghana in their opening game at the World Cup. 

Mat gives an interesting perspective from Qatar itself, sharing some opinions that go somewhat against the pervading grain regarding the host country, before breaking down what he saw at the Stadium 974 in Doha. The crew also speculate on possible changes ahead of the Uruguay match on Monday.

  BJRMB — I watched the match replay, looking at the performance without the emotional ride we didn't play that bad. Cancelo doesn't deserve to start next and Guerreiro made mistakes in our half where I would expect Mendes to make , in my opinion both full backs should be replaced. Find a place for Leao and b......
  Chris — Good convo as usual gents. I just wanted to say something really quickly for your consideration: Expecting calm and measured discussion after a Portugal win "a rasca" as we say, is about as reasonable as expecting to have an early dinner in Portugal between the hours of 2 and 7pm. Not gonna happ......
  Julio/Murillo — If fans piled on the Seleção for their frustrating, heart attack-inducing display against Ghana, how much dread is there as they prepare to face battle-hardened Uruguay? Remember, Uruguay knocked us out in the 2018 WC Round of 16 with 2 sucker-punch strikes. Suarez and Cavani are, thankfully, pretty......

In episode 70 of the Seleção Podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Eric Krakauer, play-by-play voice of Charlotte FC, as they look back on Portugal’s 3-2 victory over Ghana in the Seleção’s first group match at the 2022 World Cup, while also previewing the second Group H match against Uruguay.

Danny is also joined by David Kraakman, who covers the Uruguayan National Team for the “Warriors of Uruguay” as David provides the Uruguayan perspective on the match against Portugal.

  Gee Dee — Oops the comment for Matt was for Tom and Matt's thread/podcast....
  Gee Dee — Great PODCAST, Matt fairly described the penalty call as "soft". That's the only negative thing that you can say about it though , because when you put it in slow motion, you can see that the Ghanaian player got Ronaldo's foot and the ball at the same time , not on the follow through , so it is......
  Gee Dee — I have to disagree with Eric about Ronaldo never being that facilitating Number 9. I remember when he was a winger and just the mere mention of him playing striker used to make him go bezerk.(2011 Copa Del Rey Final changed all of that)He's stubborn but he'll come around....

It was a tale of two halves at Stadium 974 as Portugal just barely scraped past Ghana with all three points intact.

It was Portugal in all of her melodramatic glory, much to the chagrin of legions of heartattack-prone supporters!

In what many supporters might describe as a thoroughly unconvincing team display, Seleção correspondent Nathan picks through the wreckage highlighting last night's key performers as well as those with the most to improve in the next match against Uruguay on Monday.

  Lou — At Man City, Cancelo is a game changer. I didn’t see that guy yesterday. Just a thought - but, I wonder if moving him to the left and giving Dalot a go could maximize Cancelo’s talent. A lot of people don’t like Pep. But, he’s worked wonders with Cancelo. Why not ask Cancelo to play that invert......
  Fusion — Had high hopes for cancelo finally getting to play. Unfortunately all he gave us was a great Trent Alexander Arnold impersonation, without any of the attacking threat. Dias seems OK at city as they always have the ball and are tactically really good when they lose it. His lack of pace is worrying. W......
  TD — People are so quick to want sweeping changes after 1 game against an opponent that parked the bus for 60 min. I see a lot of comments about Neves and people suggesting William is a better choice. I'm sure the same people were asking for William to be dropped after the disastrous performance at the......

Just like in Russia 2018, the Seleção opened up their World Cup campaign in Qatar with a thrilling spectacle.

Despite recognising the difficulties caused by Ghana, the mood in the Portugal camp following the 3-2 victory over the African nation was unanimous: job done, let’s prepare for the next one.

PortuGOAL rounds up all the match reaction.

  AntiSantos — You all might be happy because of this win, but I am not. Portugal played the worse FIFA team in the tournament and barely beat them. Once again, Fernando Santos drives a Ferrari like a VW Beetle. Portugal played right into Ghana’s hands in the first half with the slow pace of game passing the ball ......
  Nelly — The Ghana coach and many pundits have pointed to the penalty as being soft but the media in general has ignored the goal that was caulked off for an egalitarian questionable foul. To me it was a make up call. Anyways I hope the team cleans up the brain farts in the next game. If they can keep foc......

Portugal got off to a winning start at the 2022 World Cup after an exciting 3-2 victory against Ghana. The Seleçao dominated the first half but were unable to break the deadlock, Ronaldo spurning the best chance in the 10th minute.

Fernando Santos’ side deservedly went ahead in the 65th minute when Ronaldo won and converted a penalty. The lead lasted just eight minutes however when André Ayew converted from close range.

Bruno Fernandes assisted two quick fire goals for João Félix and Rafael Leão with the victory seemingly assured, Osman Bukari reducing the deficit in the 89th minute to set up a grandstand finish.

Portugal endured nine minutes of added time, Diogo Costa narrowly escaping an embarrassing situation in the final minute when he was outsmarted by Iñaki Williams.

  Eddie — I'm personally very proud of our manager Santos. I'm loving this new formation with the midfield diamond four, we control games and have a lot of possession and dictate the game. We have good linkups and interplay between our creative midfielders with this formation its awesome to see. And they are ......
  Santos — Lots of people singling out this player or that player but as I see it, most of these players play well for the their clubs and then when they play for the Selecao it's like watching different players. I think when you have so many players under performing consistently you have to eventually point t......
  George — LMAO. Good 'ol Portugal. The team that just keeps on giving. But hey, let's not be too negative guys. It's not like we've been making the same mistakes for years or anything. I'm sure we'll magically get better this time and actually play up to our potential. Vamos Portugal! The World Cup will be ou......

Much has been made of the fact Sporting Clube de Portugal have not supplied a single player to Portugal’s squad for World Cup 2022, making it the first time the Seleção has headed to a major tournament with no Lions in the group. However, four Sporting players have made it to Qatar 2022.

Hidemasa Morita, although he did not play, will be overjoyed with Japan’s shock win over Germany today. And in Group H, one Ghanaian, Issahku Fatawu, and two Uruguayans, Sebastián Coates and Manuel Ugarte, will be striving to break the hearts of Portuguese football fans. 

Much has been made of Canada making only their second appearance at a World Cup, and their first for 36 years, particularly with regard to a hungry new generation of talents such as Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, and Stephen Eustáquio who have taken them to the biggest sporting competition on earth.

But amongst this crop of new players are a handful of veterans whose role on and off the pitch will be to shepherd those younger players through unchartered waters, one of whom is GD Chaves’ Steven Vitória.

  Jerrold Hewson — I’m going for a Canada Portugal final...

One day before the Seleção take their bow at World Cup 2022, head coach Fernando Santos has reiterated that his squad are in good shape ahead of the Group H clash against Ghana.

Santos talked about his players being totally focused but aware of the difficulties that they would face, while again dismissing the notion that the noise surrounding Cristiano Ronaldo would negatively affect Portugal’s campaign.

  Paulo — Identity... I know this isn't going to happen tomorrow, but I would start the same players that started against Nigeria, except for 2. Of course Ronaldo has to play, and Andre Silva was effective anyway, so no issues there. And Diogo Costa over Patricio, he is much better with his feet in case they......

They forget misery we went through under Scolari (who wasted one of our best-ever squads), Quieroz...Paulo Bento...The three kings of mediocrity and incompetence. Santos understands the essence of Portuguese football better than anyone and he's......

After rising to the top in Portugal, Hidemasa Morita will want to gain recognition on the world stage at World Cup 2022, but his Japan side will come up against tough opposition against Spain and Germany in Group E.

Morita’s time in Portugal has been impressive, the combative midfielder garnering widespread praise in his debut season for Santa Clara before earning a move to Portuguese giants Sporting this past summer.

  Samuel — so far Iran and Argentina lost, and Japan is losing. If Canada loses tonight too, it'll make 4 out of 4 times when a "Primeira Liga stars at World Cup 2022" article has been published and the national team, the players in the article are playing for, has lost.......

Manchester United have announced the immediate departure of Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo by mutual consent.

Ronaldo ends his second spell at Old Trafford with over six months left on his contract, as the club respond to his shocking television interview aired earlier this month.

  Adam — The envious and the embittered focus on the number "37" but not the number "32" which was how many goals he scored last season. Ronaldo scored more than Harry Kane. Salah only bagged 5 more goals playing with a far superior squad with years of team chemistry and a manager that loves him. Because ......

We continue our series of World Cup articles on Primeira Liga stars by focusing on Stephen Eustáquio, the talented FC Porto midfielder with roots in both Canada and Portugal, who rose through the leagues to deservedly earn his opportunity at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.

This is a journey worthy of extra recognition, having almost ended before it even began following a serious injury, although that only seemed to propel Eustáquio to greater heights. Now the Canadian international will debut at his first World Cup, when they take on Belgium in Group F tomorrow, hoping to make a strong statement of their intentions after a strong qualification campaign.

Join PortuGOAL’s Matthew Marshall and Tom Kundert as the countdown continues to Portugal’s opening match at the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Portugal’s 4-0 win against Nigeria is analysed. Who impressed one week before the Seleção begin their Qatar campaign?

In the wake of the media storm around that interview given by Cristiano Ronaldo to Piers Morgan, the unsatiable appetite for everything to do with CR7 is also discussed. 

Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz is coming under increasing pressure as coach of Iran after expressing his frustration with travelling fans for their continued demonstrations during Monday’s 6-2 hammering by England.

Iranian supporters unveiled various protest signs and booed the national anthem, while all players opted against singing, in solidarity with civil unrest amongst the Persian population. Speaking after the heavy loss to England, Queiroz surprised many by criticising those who voiced their opposition in Al-Rayyan, where his side found themselves 4-0 down just after the hour mark.

  Maria — It is their national team, they have tickets, they like to come and chant, it has nothing to do with him. He must focus on his job. He always blames others for his terrible losses. Once he blames the referee, once the bad pitch and now the fans, each time he somehow justifies his failures. In the g......
  Nelson — This is a tough one all around, and one has to wonder if those players will be reprimanded when they return home (for not singing their anthem). Hard to say if some Queiroz's statements are tone deaf or rightfully "cautious"... he surely must understand that the fans who choose to protest have nothi......

Benfica teammate Otamendi also in Qatar

Continuing our series of articles on footballers playing in Portugal’s Primeira Liga who could become household names at Qatar 2022, PortuGOAL turns the spotlight on Enzo Fernández and Nicolás Otamendi.

The Argentinian midfielder touched down in Lisbon just a few months ago, but has wasted no time in showcasing his seriously impressive skillset. Tomorrow he could line up for his country alongside Benfica teammate Otamendi as one of the World Cup favourites play their Group C opener against Saudi Arabia. 

Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken three days before Portugal kick off their World Cup campaign against Ghana.

The Seleção captain was the chosen player for today’s daily press conference, and did not shirk any question. The press conference covered Portugal’s ambitions, the tournament favourites, that interview, his relationship with Bruno Fernandes, and the Lionel Messi GOAT debate.

  Nelson — With all due respect Neville. Please re-read my post above, I was only trying to highlight why those of us who were bothered by the interview might have felt so. I was certainly not suggesting how you or anyone else should think. Think about that, and now read what you've posted here. I don't thin......
  Neville — You don't get it, Nelson. Today, Clubs are business houses that don't care about players and fans, they see how they can generate revenue and raise their share value. C Ronaldo's interview was perfectly timed, his interview will help many professional footballers who are treated badly at the club ......
  Neville — I do not understand why people are so obsessed with C Ronaldo's interview with Peir Morgan. C Ronaldo is employed at Man United club and so are Bruno Fernandes and others. All players at man United have their own contracts. If C Ronaldo says or comments about this employer or the club, what the f.......

In the first of a series of articles focusing on footballers playing in Portugal’s Primeira Liga who could make a name for themselves in front of a global audience in Qatar, PortuGOAL profiles Iran striker Mehdi Taremi.

The centre-forward has been outstanding ever since landing in Portugal, first at Rio Ave, then for FC Porto, proving an authentic scourge for opposition defences up and down the country, and also all over the continent in the Champions League.

Tomorrow Taremi makes his bow at Qatar 2022 as Carlos Queiroz’s Iran play a high-profile encounter against England. 

In episode 69 of the Seleção Podcast, host Danny Pinto is joined by Zach Lowy of “Breaking the Lines” to discuss:

  • Cristiano Ronaldo’s interview with Piers Morgan
  • Portugal’s roster for the World Cup
  • The Seleção’s chances in Qatar

  Rolf Gerber — I don‘t think we‘ll see Portugal pinning back the opponents in this WC. Even though that would be great. But after 2024 this could become true. Will depend from the coach....
  Francisco — Pathetic clueless podcast. The usual virtue signalling herd mentality that much of the media adopts. The same old parroting of what the herd says without even doing the research. We listen to this for something different but it’s what any clueless Anglo reporter would say. May as well listen to......
  Gee Dee — Great podcast , Zach basically says that Portugal has the most talented roster in the world but doubts that Fernando Santos can pull the right strings. I think it's a fair assessment on his part. It is worth noting though that Portugal are 12-1 to win it all , I think that those are the shortest odd......

Miguel Crespo is fast becoming one of the most talked-about midfielders outside Europe’s major leagues. The midfielder’s form under Jorge Jesus at Turkish giants Fenerbahçe has propelled the previously little-known Portuguese to being linked with some of the continent’s biggest clubs.

A place in Fernando Santos’ Portugal squad for the World Cup was never a realistic prospect for the 26-year-old, but while Crespo still harbours ambitions of representing the Selecao in the future, there is now the emerging option of playing for his adopted country Turkey.

In the third part of PortuGOAL’s mini-series looking at Portugal’s Group H opponents at the FIFA World Cup 2022, we get the lowdown on Ghana with the help of the brilliant African football journalist Gary Al-Smith.

The Seleção open their Qatar World Cup campaign against Ghana on Thursday 24 November. What can Portugal expect? 

  1.   3 Comment
  F.C.JCHarvard — Ghana is the lowest ranked squad at the World Cup. Still, Portugal makes ANY opponent a tough one. A 0-0 tie would not be surprising, setting up the usual Portugal "back against the wall" struggle to escape "by the skin of their teeth" their group. However, the decider will likely be the South Korea......
  Rui A Brandao — Santos and Portugal must not take any of their opponents lightly! they have strengths that can easily beat Portugal. For one, African teams fight like hell, they never give up no matter how down in the score they are, two South Korea has a talented team and a Portuguese coach, Son will be hard to ......
  Samuel — Portugal won the first World Cup group stage first game only in 1966, 1986 and in 2006. Every 20 years apparently, so not sure how this game will end :D....

This week’s Long Ball Futebol podcast is a double header as we asses every team in the Primeira Liga over a two-part ‘Mid-Season Review’ show.

In part 1 we cover the top 5, as the traditional big three are disrupted by a resurgent Braga, and a revelatory Casa Pia.

In part 2 we cover everyone from Vitória to Paços, as we ask: How have Portimonense ended up in 7th place? How have Gil Vicente been so bad? Do we owe João Henriques an apology? And will Paços ever win a game? 

The Seleção enjoyed the perfect preparation match for the FIFA World Cup 2022 by beating Nigeria 4-0 in Lisbon tonight.

A vibrant first-half display translated into a two-goal lead thanks to a Bruno Fernandes brace.

After the break, late strikes by substitutes Gonçalo Ramos and João Mário completed the rout.

  Jerrold Hewson — thanks to everyone for the suggestions on where to watch! It was nice having a single CDM, there seemed to be more ball movement, albeit a lot of back passing. With that being said, there was a lot of close ball play in tight spaces instead of the usual go wide and cross in for a striker which over......

As part of PortuGOAL’s series looking at Portugal’s Group H opponents at the Qatar World Cup, the focus turns to Uruguay.

Uruguay knocked the Seleção out of the 2018 World Cup, and several familiar faces from that side are still part of the South American team.

Uruguayan football expert Álvaro Perez tells us what we need to know about the team Portugal play on 28 November at the Lusail Iconic Stadium.

  Robert Martins — Iam convinced we are the most complete squad in this tournament, from wing backs straight through to our strikers, we have an abundance of depth, the fact that most Seleção fans cannot stop bringing up that Sanches was left at home speaks volumes to this depth. We were a better squad ( in my opinion......
  Dan DaSilva — I hate to say this but it may be true; Uruguay has a better midfield and attack. Yikes! Portugal finishing second or third is a very real possibility, and this isn't the Euros where a team can draw its way to a final....
  Gee Dee — Nunez has been a bit underwhelming at Liverpool. This is a better Portugal team than in 2018 and overall top to bottom Uruguay was a better team in 2018 than they are now. Portugal should be able to get 3 points here....

Liga Bwin 2022/23 takes a break for the winter World Cup with thirteen matches completed apiece for those at Portugal’s top table. Benfica head the division, signing off by defeating Gil Vicente this weekend. The latter have endured a miserable campaign thus far, as too have Paços Ferreira after yet another loss, this time to Vizela.

Santa Clara and Rio Ave secured wins to move away from the wrong end of the table, whilst Sporting and Braga both triumphed to give the league’s top four a familiar feel in terms of membership if perhaps not order.

Above the aforementioned latter pair is Porto as they strolled to derby success over Boavista, in no shortage due to the fine form of PortuGOAL Figure of the Week Galeno, who struck twice in the latest of a series of impressive displays this season

As the Portuguese World Cup squad gathered in Oeiras to prepare for the upcoming tournament in Qatar, several of the Seleção’s attacking players arrived off the back of positive showings for their clubs this weekend.

While much news coverage has centred on Cristiano Ronaldo, there were goals this weekend for Rafael Leão of AC Milan, who was celebrating his Serie A Player of the Month award, as well as André Silva in Germany and João Félix in Spain. Meanwhile elsewhere, there were goals for veteran forwards Bebé and Nélson Oliveira, as well as Portugal U21 international Dany Mota on another goal-laden weekend for Luso exports.

In under three weeks Portugal will conclude their World Cup 2022 Group H campaign with a match against South Korea in Qatar.

Seleção fans will be hoping history does not repeat itself.

Just like in the only previous World Cup held in Asia, in 2002, South Korea – the joint hosts of the tournament – met Portugal in the final group game. A dramatic encounter ensued, which ended in heartbreak for the Seleção.

With the countdown clock for the start of the FIFA World Cup 2022 well and truly ticking (Portugal’s opening game at the tournament is just ten days away), PortuGOAL will this week be taking a look at the Seleção’s Group H opponents with the help of local football experts from the three nations in question.

First up is Korea Republic, who Portugal play on 2 December. South Korean football journalist Steve Han runs the rule over the Asian Nation coached by former Portugal manager Paulo Bento.

Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped a bombshell interview just hours after Manchester United’s final match before the World Cup, discussing his deep disappointment and unhappiness with his treatment at the club.

United beat Fulham 2-1 on Sunday afternoon, but attention quickly switched to Ronaldo’s television interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, which will be broadcast later this week. The programme surely spells the end of Ronaldo’s second stint at the club.

  Robbie — So from what I gather, if you were once one of the best players to ever play the game, it means you can do no wrong. Am I right?

Sporting have joined FC Porto and Benfica in victory after defeating Famalicão 2-1 away from home, this Sunday, in their last game before the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

The Lions offered their rivals a riposte with goals from Francisco Trincão and Pedro Gonçalves on a wet and rainy night in Famalicão, taking them up to fourth place, above Casa Pia, in the Primeira Liga table.

Rúben Amorim’s men followed Porto in succeeding on the road after they had originally set the blueprint with a 4-1 dismantling of Boavista in the Invicta Derby, as the likes of Galeno and Stephen Eustáquio starred. Here’s the peak of the action:

Throughout the FIFA World Cup 2022, PortuGOAL’s network of writers will be covering the campaign of the Seleção in detail, with correspondent Matthew Marshall on the ground in Qatar.

To kick off a series of podcasts on what we hope to be a memorable tournament for Portugal, Tom Kundert and Mat analyse the 26-man squad coach Fernando Santos has called up for the World Cup, also discussing those who narrowly missed out. 

We also give our predictions on the starting XI Fernando Santos will select for Portugal’s opener against Ghana on 24 November.
