Turkey didn't have that performance to compete with Portugal even when some people's was predict that Turkey will going to destroy the Portugal in easily way i know that it will no be possible, because with how the Portugal have the so much performance no one will have hope for turkey that they able to defeat them, and with tye result given currently now is show that turkey will not have any single goal again, because Portugal is leading them by 3:0 and it will hard for them to equalize back since they only less than 15 minutes remain I don't think turkey can bring any positive results in this dai minutes.
When you check the list of players in the Portugal squad, you will know that they are not in the same level because almost all Portugal players have played in the European top teams; and they have Ronaldo to make the difference because he is the best  player in the squad.

3-0 is not bad for Turkiye, it is a manageable result for them even though they are losing the match, they get this hype and hope of winning Portugal because of their performance in their first match, but I am very sure Turkey will qualify to the next round because they will definitely defeat Czechia in their last group stage match while I am also sure that Portugal will also win their to have a 100% performance in the group.

I think the Portugal team has more balance players than  Turkey because almost all the players in the Portugal team are regular starters in their respective teams. The presence of Ronaldo is a big boost to the Portugal team but that didn't stop Turkey from performing well in the game become watching them today I saw a team that is full of fear in them, a typical example is the mistake that led to the own goal there was no proper communication between the defenders and the gowl keeper.

3:0 down and you expect them to level the scoreline that's amazing, Portugal has already won the game as the game ended long time ago and I think they are looking forward to the knockout stage.

Today we saw that Montella is a very good coach. He put a disgraceful squad on the field. Turkey lost 3-0 to Portugal. Turkey needs to win the last match or draw to advance from the group.

The Czech Republic-Georgia match ending 1-1 was very good for Turkey. We can also advance from the group as the best 3rd.

Montella had a big role in this heavy loss. That's for certain! Why would you make changes in your starting XI? Unless you have no option to do so you must continue with the winner lineup.

He said Arda was fatigued. I don't believe he wasn't in condition not to be a start for this game. If these players can't play games by only a 3-day break then how can we do something in Euro 2024?  Huh  It was Montella's fault. I didn't understand why he insisted on keeping Samet on the field until he got injured either. He literally scored a ridiculous own goal. Send him to the bench already! Don't you have any other defenders to take his place?

I knew that Arda Güler would contribute to the game, but it is not right to bring Arda into the game and expect something when the score is 3-0. I think it is a wrong choice not to play them in the first 11 when there are players like Arda and Kenan. If the players have minor injuries, it is a mistake to enter the game. If they do not have any injuries, they should have played in the starting 11.
The coach made the wrong choice because the first eleven of turkeyi that played in their first game played very well and should have been the same team to start this game. Arda Guler would have been a threat from the beginning of the game for Turkeyi. Turkeyi will regret missing that first early chance they had to score Portugal, that would have made their game plan more to work, but after they missed it, and they were scored by Portugal, they lost composure and that resulted in the break in communication that caused the second own goal. 
For Ronaldo who chose to pass to Bruno than score, was it due to unselfishness, or a drop in his confidence that he could score from there?

As a result of poor squad selection and wrong tactics, Türkiye fell 2-0 behind in the first half. The interesting thing is that Portugal has also slowed down the tempo and is playing as if the match is over. I guess they are using their power sparingly. They won't take too many risks as long as the score is like this. It's important for the teams to stay healthy. In the last 15 minutes the tempo has dropped a lot, which is in Portugal's favor. If Türkiye can't find a goal, it looks like the game will continue in the same way. Substitutions must be made to affect the match.

Portugal completely dominated this match, in the first half they were able to close it out with Türkiye 0 - 2 Portugal. This should be enough to lock in the 3 points they will get and ensure their position in the knockout round. But they didn't stop there, Bruno Fernandes then scored the third goal for Portugal in the 55th minute. There is still a lot of time left, I think it's possible that we'll see 1 more goal that will happen, who knows where it will come from, it could be from the Turkey side or it could also be Portugal who adds to their lead.

Right now, I'm happy since Portugal's superiority has totally helped them to wipe Turkey. The current score is 3-0. Portugal clearly has a very easy game and can still score another goal against Turkey. I believe, Turkey will not score in this game since it overconfidence in attacking Portugal, and let Portugal's attackers launch a proper counter attack.
Portugal is now lead Group F having gained three points over Turkey. Arda Guler's substitution into this game has little effect on Turkey's performance since Portugal played the top defenders.

In the end, Turkey's erratic performance has cost them three points; thus, Portugal is in first position.


The coach's squad selection did not please the fans because he made an unexpected squad choice and did not allow Turkey to show its strength on the field. Portugal is a strong team and I know they are a better team than Turkey, but Turkey's first 11 choices were more beneficial to Portugal.

Portugal did not push itself too hard and used its power sparingly. I didn't think Turkey would come out with such a squad. I think the coach's preferences will change in the next match.

Really easy work for Portugal, I thought Turkey would put up much more of a fight.

Portugal will have much harder tests than they got tonight later in the tournament but must feel good for them to effectively be able to rest players in their final group game now.

perfect analysis mate, the way the tournament started up at first it was almost like as if all the big teams were going to win all their games but to my surprise the results started going harder as the smaller nation have stepped up their game and one of the team that are capable of getting the better of their opponent is probably this turkey team and if Portugal understand this then they would need to step their game and play harder.
Believe me, Portugal will destroy those guy, remember that Portugal has the best player in the world. Turkiye is a nothing team, they only beat weak country and their past history they almost never win
I would be so sure to conclude that Portugal will destroy Turkey, maybe you are underestimating them. Turkey comfortably defeated Georgia 3-1 whereas Czech Republic couldn't win them and almost lost to them. Remember than Czech Republic always won Portugal if not of the late goals that helped the later win 2-1. Based on this analysis,  I think the best result Portugal can get tonight is a draw. If I'm to bet on the match, I will go with both teams score to be on the safer side instead of going for outright win.

2 goals in the first half made Portugal very comfortable and confident playing in the second half. They were very calm on the ball but that made them play much better than the first half.
Now the score has changed to 0-3 which of course makes Portugal more comfortable and with the remaining time situation now it looks like Portugal will ensure itself to qualify for the last 16 phase in this second match .

Turkey are losing their momentum at the moment and it is very difficult now to make a difference for the end of the match after they are 3 goals down for now.  Arda has been brought on as a supersub again and I'm keen to see if the kid can make a significant difference now because the way he was greeted when he entered the pitch it looked like Arda was the new hope but it's too late now because with a 3-goal deficit against a Portugal side that is already very comfortable and just needs to play like this until the end Turkey will find it very difficult to change the rhythm.

-snip-
The first half has ended with a temporary victory for Portugal with a score of 2-0 over Turkey, both teams played very impressively and even endangered each other defenses, so far Portugal has been able to dominate the match a little, but although Turkey is often under pressure but in my opinion they are still able to give resistance to Portugal, but indeed the Portugal defense built by Pepe and Cancelo is currently quite solid In breaking every attack made by the Turkish attackers, the first goal from Silva of course still make Portugal even more ambitious to get the next goal, but unfortunately for Turkey when a ridiculous blunder made by Akaydin and resulted in a goal that made their spirit collapse.

Throughout the first half I saw Ronaldo play quite well and of course he can still perform quite great so far, but there was a little bit of a bother me when the Portuguese players got the ball and created chances, but it seems that they are more inclined to throw away those chances than pass them to Ronaldo, is it just my feeling or are you all aware of it?
Portugal was 0-3 ahead of Türkiye, Bruno scored the third goal for Portugal after receiving a spoiled assist from Ronaldo. This was a good victory to maintain until the end, but it does not rule out the possibility of additional goals because Portugal did not reduce their attacking tension.

Regarding some comments regarding Ronaldo's lack of involvement in Portugal's attack scheme, it feels like this is just part of the game strategy. Ronaldo has not been used as a target man in the last few matches, he only opens up space while other players use space to score goals. It's not true what you feel, even here Ronaldo doesn't need to score a goal to win the match.

Turkey vs Portugal

Portugal — Costa, Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes, Palhinha, Vitinha, Fernandes, Bernardo, Leao, Ronaldo.

Turkey — Bayindir, Celik, Akaydin, Bardakci, Kadioglu, Calhanoglu, Ayhan, Akgun, Kokcu, Arturkoglu, Yilmaz.

Here we go for the top teams in the group, today we will know who will lead in the table, to me predictions can be make but let see what the first half will look like.
I'm so disappointed at Turkey in the very match. They are playing as though they were not for the competition. I understand that Portugal is the favorite side but I expected some serious resistance from them, a fight that will give them the hope of at scoring a goal. With their performance that is looking like they are fatigued, it will be hard for them to score a single goal tonight. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo have once again demonstrated team spirit and leadership in the ball he passed to Bruno Fernandes. Ordinarily Ronaldo would have scored but seeing Bruno was in a better position, he passed the ball to him to make it 3 goals to nil against Turkey.

BTC, a coin of today and tomorrow.
No True! Officials in the Euros are currently doing a beautiful and great job I must say. That was a perfect decision take by the match officials as that was a clear offside, not really offside but we could see the Inter Milan defender Dumfries dodging that ball that was shot from Xavi Simons...
Give them credits when due. They're not doing bad in this tournament.
Anyway, why the main referee did not watch the slow-motioned video but only rely on VAR team's opinion to make his decision, and refuse that goal. 5 minutes and he did not watch the video by himself. It is like a plan to avoid France to be out too early in this Euro. France are strong but they don't need to rely on such controversial decision from referee to avoid a loss.
This is what I always advocate and I don't know why it happens that in a very controversial situation, the central referee will only depend on what the VAR assistant referees tells him. No matter the number of people in the VAR, if only one person disagreed with a decision, the ref should go and see for himself.

Quote
But I was wondering why Bruno Fernandez score has to be lower than other people in the Portugal squad. Is he not living up to expectation in today's match?
Not quite long I said it and fortunately Bruno has got a goal to further solidify his country's win tonight and his rating is now up.

Portugal is already leading the game in just 50 minutes of the match and am so certain that they will the game at the end of the match. Turkey has not made any good attempt yet rather they have been doing more defense work so that more goals won't enter their goal post and they are also expecting any counterattack to see. If they continue like that there might not be any opportunity for any counterattack.

It seems the game will completely end with 5 goals plus because i still believe that more goals will enter time goes on. This is because Portugal is consistently pressing to score more, and the legendary Ronaldo is still doing wonders at the age of 39, still bringing defenders down on there feet. Am truly enjoying the game.

Georgia is really lucky, Czechia almost beat them since Czechia have 24 shots and 12 on target, props to Mamardashvili i.e. Valencia's goalkeeper, he's tall, young and potential, maybe other big teams will interested to sign him.

It was happening, my friend, Portugal is leading the game by a large margin. I'm still wondering why so many people were rooting for Turkey over Portugal, considering it's clear to me that Portugal would win the game.

Arda Guler was benched since this match was too difficult for him. It is too hard for Turkey, and finally, Portugal will grab three points from Turkey.

Another goal for Portugal, this time assisted by Ronaldo. I have a feeling King Pepe is going to be MOTM.

I hope Türkiye can thwart Portugal from achieving victory. It sounds like I don't like Portugal, but I have a betting target that I win because I bet on a draw.
I made a different analysis than most people regarding betting on the Turkey vs Portugal match because I was tempted by the big odds for those who chose a draw.
Turkey's impressive performance when they beat Georgia and Portugal's lackluster finishing made me conclude that Portugal will have difficulties in this match.
The situation is complicated at the moment. After the first half Portugal was up by 2 goals we can see that for this second half they played very comfortably where Portugal seemed to play without burden in the second half this time.
The third goal came again for Portugal where Cristiano's offside trap allowed Bruno to comfortably score 3rd goal of the match today.

This was a slap in the face to those who suggested that Cristiano was benched in Portugal because his presence was considered disruptive but with the moves he made in today's match even though he could not create a goal but of course we are aware that how the assist given to Bruno some time ago showed that he did not act alone for Portugal's victory he did not want to be selfish when he was already one on one with the goalkeeper but preferred to provide an assist rather than force a goal himself.

It was a terrible start by Turkey.  Sad  First that easy goal because of poor defending and the 2nd one was hard to explain... How can he not even look at where the goalkeeper is before passing the ball?  Huh
2 goals were given easily to Portugal in the first half this time because looking at what they showed, actually 2 goals in the first half should not have happened but because there was a miss of communication and poor cooperation, it made it complicated for Turkey in the end.

The 2 goals in the first half clearly made Portugal more comfortable in the second half although it cannot be denied that in today's match Turkey also played quite well although their dominance was a little weak but for the problem of counterattacks they can still be expected.
But following 2 goals in the first half against Portugal is definitely a difficult thing because surely for Portugal they will definitely make a comfortable game pattern for them in the second half later although the intensity of the attack will not be lowered but still they definitely do not want to miss and secure 3 points in today's match.

The rejected goal of Xavi Simons is ridiculous because no way for Maignan to response and make a save in that situation. He did not react not because Dumfries was there but because after a first save, he was not ready for a second save.

Anyway, why the main referee did not watch the slow-motioned video but only rely on VAR team's opinion to make his decision, and refuse that goal. 5 minutes and he did not watch the video by himself.
