2022 FIFA World Cup playoffs: Italy and Portugal drawn on same path, one will miss Qatar
Nowhere was that more apparent than in the 4-2 loss to Germany at Euro 2020 where Portugal did not so much concede four goals as the same goal four times, consistently undone by overloads from wing backs who were not being tracked by the Portuguese frontline.
Any team with Sergej Milinkovic Savic, Dusan Vlahovic and Dusan Tadic -- with free scoring star of the Championship Aleksandar Mitrovic to come off the bench -- can be expected to win a lot of games.
The 1-1 draw they were holding at the time might have been enough to send them but playing for it left them one error away from defeat.
