Pre-tournament friendlies are often extremely poor games mainly due to the fact that the one thing on every player's mind is to avoid injury.
It's fully understandable, as with typically less than two weeks remaining until the tournament kicks off the idea that a player would play with the intensity that they would in a competitive game makes no sense at all, but nobody told that to Portgual defender
Bruno Alves.
The Portuguese decided that with around 10 minutes remaining in the first half, it was all a bit boring, so he recklessly flew in and kicked Harry Kane in the head. The Spurs man was lucky he wasn't injured, and looked as if he wasn't really sure what had happened.
What the hell was he thinking?
The slow-mo replays make it look truly shocking.
Bruno Alves is not likely to start for Portugal in France, and the strikers in their group will probably be delighted about that, until they realise that Pepe is the man ahead of him in the pecking order.
