Hardly likely to raise standards, though.

I wonder how much Ramadan has taken away from the performance of Egypt and Morocco today?

After watching these 2 sides play, I wouldn't be surprised if Santos and Hierro are meeting right now to agree to do an Austria v W Germany 1982.

Didn't realise that Da Costa had switched from Portugal to Morocco.

You'd have to include Iran in that. But Ramadan ended last night.

Hardly ideal prep. A few of the Muslim lads at work have looked pretty knackered recently - weight down, pallid complexion etc. Must be a bloody tough time just to work in an office, let alone competitive international football.

That said, I expect there may have been one or two exceptions allowed here. I think the fasting bit allows a small degree of flexibility without contravening rules.

EDIT - especially tough this time of year in the NH, with short nights and long days.

Should have left the dude with the concussion in.

That was the type of goal this match deserved.

A goal in keeping with the quality of football on show today so far. Here’s hoping for better tonight.

Even if Spain & Portugal play 5-a-side it will be better

The way both teams energy/fitness levels fell off a cliff in the second half, got to be connected to the last month of fasting.
