Federation Internationale de Football Association warns Mexico over discriminatory chants at Confed Cup

The battle between Russian Federation and Portugal will be played at Spartak Stadium in Moscow, starting at 11:00 am ET.

“The national team, more than preparing the way for the eventual exit of Rafael [Marquez] I believe.is prepared to perform and give positive results the day any player can’t play”, said Osorio before adding that the phasing out of Marquez is not immediate, but part of a natural process.

“Because we know that you are unconditional love for your team, we trust in you, and we know that together we will change the course of history”. Now we need to think of the next game, which we have to win.

Skipper Akinfeev kept his side in it when he clawed away Silva’s 50th-minute header from close range, and he was in the right place at the right time to repel Cedric Soares long-range effort nine minutes later.

The Euro 2016 winners took the lead on 34 minutes when Ronaldo sprinted into the box and his beautifully-timed pass found Quaresma unmarked in the area. “And they can be unsafe if you give them time and space on the ball, so we’re going to try to stop them from having that”.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s woes deepened yesterday when the star striker who reportedly wants to quit Real Madrid was summoned to appear before a judge investigating tax fraud.

“New Zealand will be a different team compared to Portugal, but they are a hard team to beat”, Osorio said at a press conference.

“It’s going to be very hard, but we have players who are very capable and are highly motivated”. “We are looking forward to a good test from a very good Mexican team”.

Portuguese sports daily A Bola had also claimed that Perez had already been informed of the player’s decision.

Against Mexico, Portugal had to wait to find out that the score would stay at 0-0 in the first half when Nani’s shot was overruled for an offside call that went unflagged in an earlier phase of play.

New Zealand competed well, put their more fancied rivals under pressure and probably deserved more from the game.

He said: “It’s the new rule”. “When I was in Brazil back in 2004, I saw how much attention you pay to football. But I do not think anyone can see this new rule (working) very well yet”. “We weren’t European champions by accident”, Ronaldo, Portugal’s all-time leading scorer, told reporters after taking his worldwide tally to 74 goals. “We are better talking about our own squad and football, all the rest can be published by other media”, Cherchesov said.
