As for the second game, I will say you have underestimated the quality of the Portuguese national team. You can’t outrightly claim that France will win against Portugal. If we analyze this base on stats Portugal has a better one in this tournament because France them selves are yet to register an outfield goal. Two of their three goals came as a result of own goal while the other came from the penalty spot kick. So on this it seems France are finding it difficult to score goals, this to me makes Portugal in a much better position to progress than the French team
Portugal do not have anything better than France, France are world cup winners and came second in the last world cup. They still have quality players than Portugal and they can outplay Portugal tomorrow. Portugal are not playing better than France despite France has not scored an open goal in this tournament. I think this game is going to be a very close one and they might end up playing penalties to determine the winner. It is going to be a very sad end for Ronaldo as the player he sees as his successor is going to take the chances of him winning his last trophy from him. Portugal Vs France is just going to now be a game of Ronaldo Vs Mbappe for his last dance and then mbappe wins him amd retires him. I want Ronaldo to win with Portugal but he is not him again to carry his nation to victory.
Why are you so certain that Portugal won't win? Well I can't blame you but if am to even any reason of France winning this game I think it would be as a result to their lose in the Euro finals against Portugal, I think they would want to revenge that but the fact is still clear that France has been absolutely dreadful in performance in this tournament and I just hope they step up their game if not football can be surprising sometimes although I don't need to tell France that as they have witnessed it twice now from a two final lose.
People were skeptical of Portugal's squad. As you can see, they have bad chemistry. This was clear in the last game. Ronaldo's drama made it even worse. Many people reacted badly to how Portugal won the game in the round of 16. They now seem to be saying indirectly that a young French talent is far better than Portugal's old squad.
And, I quite agree with you. France has been dreadful, and no goal came from open play. Meanwhile, Portugal still scored many open-play goals. It's rarely to finding someone who feel optimistic with portugal's squad.
Even, some portugues on reddit were also skeptical with their national club to beat france. It sounds strange. And last, people thought Portugal can't make the semi-final. But I think they can.
