^ thats coz the germans are wayyy to tall, portugal players are short and fast
portugal have dominated in the game but germany ruined portugal on set peices
portugals goali is to blame for lettin in 2 goals in rather cheaply
croatia just might make it to the finals now
heard the turkey squad is missin alot of key players

portugal have got lots of quality in midfield, but no striker (even though he scored). Also Ricardo is always an accident wating to happen.
I've alway disliked both teams.
I've got this horrible feeling thast germany are going to be croati in the semis...........
Wow didn't expect germany to win.. I really thought Portugal would play the final! But congrats to the germans
^ i dont see portugal as overrated
they are a good team and not as popular as germany, italy, england etc
they only been qualifying for major tournaments as of the 90s and thier squad only started gettin respect by the millenium
ronaldo is pretty much the kobe bryant of portugal
gets the mvp but fails to perform at his club level
This game is just prooth on how much everyone overrated Portugal. The Germans dominated the game. They are soo much better when Gomez aint playing. Loew got the tactics spot on in this game. Ronaldo was nowhere to be seen in this game.
congrats to Germany.
We fuked cause we only have 17 fit players. 3 out of our 4 centre backs have all been ruled out. Servet is the biggest name gone. Its all Terims fault. he was the one who selected injury prone players.Quote:

Although I didn't expect Portugal to be butchered like that it is once again proven never ever to underestimate the Germans. Cause they Germans and all, knawmean.
I really hope the Netherlands will clash with them in the finals and settle the score for once and for all.

Germany were the first real test for Portugal, and well it showed us the truth. they are indeed a team who lacks a true striker. they are not the strongest, and it showed.
In the tournament Portugal played a really bad and tactically immature Turkish side. They played an ageing Czech side with no great offensive threat. They looked good against mediocore opponents. When they got tested for the first time, they broke down.
If you look at their qualifying Portugal struggled. they were only named favourites mainly cause of C.Ronaldo season with Man Utd. Everyone thought he would carry them to the title.
true
'an adequet but not great defence'
pepe is a wall tho!!
they do need a good striker ... and their back up strikers arnt good
they should do like croatia and get a couple of brazilian strikers
lol
what the hell was i talking???Quote:
