    Tough day for Portugal.

  • hihbhu612 hours ago

    I’m an England fan but Spain are so slick with the ball and entertaining to watch. They’re going to demolish this group. The squad is filled to the brim with talent.

  • sombrefulgurant513 hours ago

    Spain is so fucking good (and Portugal very, very bad).

  • Gripe213 hours ago

    anyone got a clip of Fatima goalie challenge?

  • McWaffeleisen913 hours ago

    Looks like we just can call it a day and declare Spain winners of the whole tournament. That will save time and spare a lot of upcoming opponents from inevitable embarrassment.

    • SakaSlide๐Ÿ‘ค713 hours ago

      Settle down, Portugal are on a horrific run of form. England, Germany, and Sweden can beat anyone.

    • cattacos37๐Ÿ‘ค513 hours ago

      Meh, I have high hopes for Sweden and England!

  • cattacos37๐Ÿ‘ค513 hours ago

    This is starting to be a bit embarrassing โ€ฆ Portuguese defenders just canโ€™t keep up, constantly leaving players unmarked, and giving them too much time on the ball. Very curious to see what second half looks like โ€ฆ

  • SwansOrange513 hours ago

    Watching Spain play compared to the dog shit we saw yesterday. it’s a whole different sport.

  • Mr_Rafi613 hours ago

    Non-existent Portuguese defending.

  • cattacos37๐Ÿ‘ค613 hours ago

    Tuned into the second half of Belgium - Italy earlier which was incredibly boring. Spain is in a whole different class, this is football!

  • AtleticoFan17613 hours ago

    A predicted 6-0 before the match kicked off, looks like I might be short a few goals at this rate

  • Excellencyqq613 hours ago

    Portugal about to have their own 7:1. Rips

    • nim1623313 hours ago

      There’s no way they’re gonna score

    • _moosleech713 hours ago

      They lost 7-1 to Spain a few months ago, funny enough.

  • paper_zoe๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ613 hours ago

    assuming everyone in the group gets thwacked by Spain, goal difference may come into play

  • Ryponagar313 hours ago

    How did Pina pull that off lol

  • nim1623313 hours ago

    Rematch assist

    • Mr_Rafi213 hours ago

      “Tekkers!”

  • kaiko1813 hours ago

    lol what a goal

  • No_Section236๐Ÿ‘ค813 hours ago

    Omg ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

  • Wendek๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท1013 hours ago

    … this is a slaughter.

    • cattacos37๐Ÿ‘ค713 hours ago

      Not often you see tears before half time!

      • Wendek๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท313 hours ago

        Poor Portuguese keeper looked super mad after the third goal already, idk how she will cope if the second half is similar. (which seems pretty darn likely)

        • Chemiczny_Bogdan๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ213 hours ago

          That’s a picture I remember seeing constantly when I first noticed her in the 2122 CL campaign for Servette. Then again at euro 21. I don’t remember if she got mad specifically after the single solitary goal she conceded at world cup 23 - but I imagine she did.

          I think she’s a good shot stopper, and I wish her all the best, but the passion within which she shouts at defenders is very entertaining to me :D

        • cattacos37๐Ÿ‘ค313 hours ago

          Donโ€™t blame her, the defenders are doing a piss poor job!

  • paper_zoe๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ713 hours ago

    ok, that was just ridiculous

  • Scorchio76313 hours ago

    This could be 78

  • No_Section236๐Ÿ‘ค613 hours ago

    Lovely goal again. Every single Spanish player is very technical, joy to watch

  • paper_zoe๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ513 hours ago

    what a great ball to Putellas. Spain are just too good

  • AtleticoFan17614 hours ago

    Spain plays wonderful football wow

  • paper_zoe๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ514 hours ago

    lovely move from Spain there

  • Wendek๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท514 hours ago

    I wonder if the Spanish defenders are getting bored in this game.

    • AtleticoFan17614 hours ago

      Or their keeper haha

  • No_Section236๐Ÿ‘ค414 hours ago

    Omg that kind of pass from Portugal pisses me off so much. You get a chance to go forward finally and you do that smh

  • Conscious_Scheme132๐Ÿ‘ค614 hours ago

    Itโ€™s quite funny to watch this. Spain look incredible and Portugal look like they donโ€™t even know how to play football.

  • Dee4leeds814 hours ago

    I knew Portugal weren’t great but the gulf between them and Spain is ridiculous.

  • kaiko1214 hours ago

    what a pass

  • fplisadream114 hours ago

    Are Portugal really just this much worse than Spain? I don’t remember seeing something this one sided since like USA vs Thailand

    • paper_zoe๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ514 hours ago

      they’ve got some good players. I’m assuming Nazareth is injured if she’s not starting though. We drew 1-1 with them in the Nations League earlier this year. That said, we also beat them 6-0 last month.

      • atomic__tourist๐Ÿ‘ค313 hours ago

        Kika has been injured since something like March. Was lineball on whether she would be cleared for the tournament. Will be interesting to see if sheโ€™s fit enough for a cameo at the end to start building up minutes.

    • Ryponagar314 hours ago

      They lost 1-7 to Spain in the Nations League

  • Random0cassions614 hours ago

    2020s spain moving like the 50-60s Brazil sides

  • qwerty_1965๐Ÿ‘ค314 hours ago

    Spain have the freedom of the Portugal defensive third

  • raoulbrancaccio614 hours ago

    Spain are not even playing their best 11…

    • schorschico๐Ÿ‘ค113 hours ago

      Why is Aitana not playing?!

      • Tricky_Wedding_5957๐Ÿ‘ค613 hours ago

        She was in hospital for a viral meningitis scare a few days ago. She got the all-clear but they’re probably playing it safe.

        • schorschico๐Ÿ‘ค213 hours ago

          Thanks! With all the shenanigans this team has gone through I couldn’t deal with not having her playing.

    • Ryponagar314 hours ago

      I hope Portugal are not down 5-0 already when Spain sub in Bonmati and Paralluelo lol

      • atomic__tourist๐Ÿ‘ค213 hours ago

        I doubt, and sincerely hope, that they bother with Aitana today. Much after to give her more rest so she recovers properly from the meningitis.

  • paper_zoe๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ914 hours ago

    not looking good for Portugal. Or the rest of Europe, for that matter

  • AtleticoFan171614 hours ago

    This Spain team is genuinely so amazing they are levels above most other teams.

    • Moug-10๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท314 hours ago

      I wonder if France or England can compete. If we don’t choke early.

      • OleoleCholoSimeone๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช414 hours ago

        Whatever happens we are going to get two crazy round of 16 matchups. Assuming the favourites progress, Germany and Sweden will face two of France, England and Netherlands

        So a few of the other challengers will knock each other out, might be paving the way for Spain even more

  • qwerty_1965๐Ÿ‘ค414 hours ago

    MatchThreader way too late!

  • ScottMrRager๐Ÿ‘ค714 hours ago

    The Spanish team is the best I ever saw in Women’s Football.

  • Ryponagar1014 hours ago

    Didn’t expect the match to be over already once the match thread is up

    • Moug-10๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท214 hours ago

      2-0 at 10th minute isn’t the same at 2-0 at the 88th

  • OleoleCholoSimeone๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช614 hours ago

    2-0 already lmao. Walk in the park for Spain
