i were saying: "well, the match is a shit... you two run to investigate the jacuzzi on that honeymoon cruise to egyipt at once!"Originally posted by slickrenderer
Where are you Predator????? ;-)
then the greeks scored...
dang the odds were heavily against portugal...
if the greeks didnt managed to make a goal, if the russians manged to make another, if the coach had made us atack from the beginning (instead of saying: let them crash in our defense and then kick the ball up to whoever takes it on all the frist part(which definitely isnt our gameplay style) until we make and error and then attack), if the referee werent clearly helping portugal(with lots of blinks from the portugese players to the refereee clearly seen on the frist planes), a yellow to albelda for nothing on the start, just to scare, and then lots of faults made by portugese players in front of the assistants, which were probably were looking at the public...
Anyways...who were gonna say it, the russians won the greeks! and we lost against portugal!!!!... will england loose against croatia?

everyone blames the refs. If Portugal lost I would probably blame him two. Got to blame somebody!
Can't blame the spanish for playing a terrible game!
Anyways, It was a fun match to whatch. My heart was racing about 200 km/h during the game.

All Spanish fans were saying that Portugal deserved to win because Spanish played like girls ;-)
If it makes you feel better then do blame the referee. I think the
pornstar turned refree did a great job for such a difficult match.
Did you notice how the Spanish players and Portugese players could not hold their smile back when the refree was shouting at them like a big pornstar befor a corner was about to be taken:-)
Roach!!!! Excellent I wish I was in Lisbon yesterday or even in Canada ;-)
Last 15 minutes was nightmare. My wife was in tears for the whole 15 minutes. I was a nervous WRECK!!!
As far as I am concerned this Euro is a success for me now. Anything extra Portugal achieve will be a bonus.
Nothing can beat knocking Spain out ;-) Don't you agree Dragon LOL!!!

on the other side, the faults in front of the assistants that were "looking to another place" and the yellow to albelda for nothing(when there were other faults more deserving) are a fact
you know what?... with the odds that were on sunday before the match, if we did played soccer (just play not even play well, what we did was something but not soccer) i would have been screwed because portugal won, but with the lamentable spectacle seen yesterday... (and the 5 hrs of driving back to madrid from barcelona)i just dont feel anything

Now go and wipe that paint of your face before I pull the skirt off my avatar :-)
OK seriously both teams were nervous and burdened by the weight of history. In the 1st 20 minutes Spain gave the ball away easily and Portugal played with some venom.
I don't think France would have won 8:0 yesterday. Actually I watched the whole match again few hours ago and Portugal could have easily scored 4-5 more goals. Actually they should have...they must if they want to go any further.
Spain could have scored 3-4 goals as well.
Look referee had no effect on the result any neutral person would say that. No desicion by the pornstar was match changing.
Odds are meant to be broken. Spain did not convince me in all their group matches. Portugal did not convince me either but the fact is Portugal topped their group you cannot argue with that.
Greece beat Portugal but it was obvious that it had nothing to do with football but more to do with Portugese having no bottle ie. they could not handle the pressure. I am not making excuses because the fact is Portugal lost to Greece. I can make excuses but the fact is fact.
Yesterday Spain did not attack partly because they thought they could hold out and partly if they did Portugal would have exploited the space. Did you even think that Spain maybe lost because Portugal did not let them play the way they would have liked???
In the 1st half Portugal was all over Spain. Ronaldo really troubled your defenders. Players like Poyle were in 2 minds about attacking due to Ronald & co.
Portugal got 2 yellow cards as well just one less than Spain. So that is an non-issue unless you wanna make excuses.
Check out the stats...they don't lie.

I just hope Portugal can keep it up. Bring on Group B...!
Just looking at the standings there and looks like a huge mess. All four teams look like they can still pull it off there. I think France will end up first there. which leaves three. Hmmmm. I pick England up against the Portuguese next round.

Croatia has got the game to beat England. Let's see what happens tonight.
France will beat Switzerland that is guaranteed.
If Sweden and Denmark draw then Italy will be out.
Holland is 80% out.
Portugal will have to beat England or Croatia in the quarter finals.
Let's see what happens. When Coutu came on as a sub he looked so nervous and sad :-) Carvalleho has made certain that Coutu will stay on bench for rest of the matches :-)
grrrr

Couple of years ago in quarterfinals of under 21 or U19 European championship Portugal were in the same situation as Italy is in now.
Guess what Italy and Switzerland played a very relaxing draw so that they could both go to the semifinal thus knocking out Portugal.
Now Italy is worried that the same might happen to them in the senior form of game LOL!! History repeats itself ;-)

Then it's not even an issue you definately deserved to loose ;-)
Look it's simple Spain thought that they could keep Portugal at bay by defending with 7 players at the back playing defensive Italian style football.
Why did they think that???? Spain knew that if they went for offensive play then there was a 50:50 chance that Portugal would beat them.
I am sure the coach ALONG!!! with the players thought that they had more than 50:50 say 80:20 chance of playing a defensive counter attack style of game and succeding.
Guess what Portugal made them pay.
Yes Spain could have scored 3-4 gols SO COULD !!!! have Portugal.
If you see the match again you will see that the easiest chances fell to Portugal. Yes you hit the post...so did Portugal ;-)
In the end the beauty from Nuno Gomez was a KO.
Sorry dragon I am rubbing it in...it's just been 23 years since Portugal beat Spain ;-)
Oh! and all Spanish players despite their rheoteric before the match knew that history did not mean anything as they very well knew and actually respected the capability of Portugese players.
Look it was also clear that Spain like spoilt brats started to get aggressive when they realized that they might be going out.
Trying to provoke Ronldo and calling him "son of a ****"
I read the Spanish players lips very clearly. I guess Ronaldo had the last laugh.

DRAGON in case you want to see the goal in 3d again.
Oh! do keep in mind that Costinihas sitting header, Portugal hitting the woodwork, Manishe shot etc etc are not there ;-)
Come on you know you wanna watch it ;-) LOL!!!

-EXACTLY ITS WHAT IM SAYING that style of game doesnt deserves to win!
Spain knew that if they went for offensive play then there was a 50:50 chance that Portugal would beat them. I am sure the coach ALONG!!! with the players thought that they had more than 50:50 say 80:20 chance of playing a defensive counter attack style of game and succeding.
-We arent italians, the italian soccer style never suited spain, and yesterday wasnt an exception, if we had our natural gamestyle from the begining we would have had much more opportunitys than 50:50....
If you see the match again you will see that the easiest chances fell to Portugal. Yes you hit the post...so did Portugal ;-)
-so what, the point was that playing dull and defensive we didnt even arrived to the post in 60 minutes because thats what happens when you play dull and defensive, if we had started playing offensive(or at the very least with a stronger better structured middle) from the beginning we would probably have had more opportuntys than the portugese... and they wouldnt have caugh us in the middle of a shift of tactics(that is where the portugese goal comes from)...
Look it was also clear that Spain started to get aggressive when they realized that they might be going out.
-EXACTLY, and then when the damn coach woke up we just didnt had time enough...

When Portuugal gets knocked out in the quarter finals or semifinals then that will be the reality. No amount of IF's from me or any Portugese fans will mean anything.
You say if Spain had attacked from the get go they would have maybe had more than 50:50 chance of succeding.
You don't know that!!! You are making a big assumption. Spain were not convincing in any of their matches. Yes like Portugal they can be good on the ball but their finishing lacks sharpness.
Check the Greece and Russian matches.
It's obvious that like most Spanish people you have serious issues regarding a small neighbour like Portugal beating you. Same happened when Porto beat you in your own backyard.
Now tell me are you gonna return our occupied land or what??? LOL!!! :-O

60 minutes defensive opportunitys= 0 (goals taken1)
30 minutes offensive all the opportunitys (goals taken 0)
no big assumption that if you play offensive you get more opportunitys...
if you are attacking they arent
and if you have a stong middle you
a)get more opportunitys and more precise instead of launching the ball from the rear and hope a point man catches it
b)cut the opponent opportunitys there instead of leting them arrive
that is true particular matches apart
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
what occupied land are you frigging talking about?
