After an eventful first day of the quarterfinals that saw two penalty shootouts, we’re on to the second day with Morocco facing Portugal and England taking on France.<\/p>\n

But Gon\u00e7alo Ramos unlocked the potential of this Portugal side when he was slotted in at striker in place of Ronaldo and scored a hat trick. Portugal was so good in that Switzerland game that Ramos has to start again, though we’re not expecting six more goals from this game. Morocco has been absolutely phenomenal defensively.
