Just seen this thread. Yeah looking foward to Holland V Russia. Turkey V Ceque Republic was my match of the tournament so far
Holland V Russia is going to be crazy! And i hope Spain will kick Italy out of the tournament.. If Holland and Italy meet in the semi finals it will be a very different game.. And i think Holland V Spain would be nice..
What does everyone think about tonights match....
Looking at the teams and performances there's only one winner..but, we are talking about the Germans here.....
Germans on penalties anyone???
I think Portugal will win.. at the moment they are so much better.. But with the german you never know..
Portugal for sure. I dont think Germany have one half decent defensive player in the team. But Portugal dont have a great striker either.
I dont think either of these teams will get past the Semi's though.
Well, I put a fiver on Russia, Turkey and Holland (5 on each) before the tournament began, and they have all qualified :D
I think Portugal will play dominant and offensive, but that the Germans will win the game on some last minute goal shit.
Portugal will trash the Germans. Annihilate them. Pulverize them. Spit in their faces and rape their pets.
Hahahahahaha^
Yeah I think they will beat them too.
^^i would really hope soQuote:

i thought we would be better than that, but the last games showed how much we really fell off, all the determination that we had in the worldcup is gone, our players podolski and frings are injured since the last game, so i dont know if they will play tonight, our couch is banned again because of his "disagreement" that he had with the austrian coach, plus portugal is in a much better shape right now, so yeah i think this gonna be a massacre for our team...
i think portugal is overrated. souley on the strength of ronaldo. the fact remains he doesn't (and cant) play like he does at man u in the portugal sqaud.
I struggle to see whats so great about Germany ?
It's like everyone was surprised when Croatia beat them ???
People need to stop thinking all the old great teams are still great.
^^it hurts me to admit it but yeah i agree

germany have a bunch of quality players. they just had a bad game.
Portugal in my opinion have better players and play as a team better than Germany...
More flair and carisma ect...where as Germany are more like an army.
And in my eyes Germany haven't had one good game in this competion...yet.
Wow...I can't belive how poor Portugal are at set pieces...
Although that 3rd German goal was clearly a foul...
Ballack pushed the defender.
^ 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:

^ haha for real hes one of my fav defenders and got me a shiet load of points in the fantasy games
true hes only 1 man
portugal should get their hands on helton (porto) and liedson (sporting lisbon)
brazilians that wont see the brazil squad with binoculars
yo, turkey against germany would be fun, its kinda like playin against own folks init?
Turkey - Germany would just be a bad idea.
I mean however much im enjoying us doing well, a part of me wanted this team to go out in the group stage. we just aint good enough to be competing at this level. its gonna be embarrasing. We have 1 defender available for the Croatia game. If the Croats play their own game, i expect in easy victory.
Our luck will run out. sadly Terims contract aint running out. we wont even qualify for the next world cup.
you never know
portugal were tipped by many to reach the final
wouldnt be surprized to see spain and holland choke
i think italy will pick up their game against spain, just how germany raised their game against portugal
spain hasnt beat italy since like the 50s or something like that
and holland better not take russia too likely (coz hiddink knows what to expect)
or else they gonna get the rooski banana
i dunno about Han but if turkey do get lucky
i hope that luck takes them to the finals
germany could make it to the finals
everyone sleeps on germany
Im still not sold on Spain, i dont think the game will be as one sided as some people have suggested.
HAN MUST BE HAVING A STROKE RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!
lol
0-0
extra time!!
AHAHAH 1-1
HAN IS DONE! PK HAN'S NERVES MUST BE SHOT LMFAO!!
han must be goin bald, has no more nails, and is cryin his eyes out
i think the ottoman empire is goin to the finals
Unfuckingbelievable!!
ayo HAN...congratulations man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;;;;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak;;;;;;
or whatever...............good luck against nazis.....
Congrats HAN... I'm glad your team went through
But that was really too much. First the 2:1, then the 3:2, now this... Croatia didn't deserve this. But that was the defenders faults. Croatia had the quality.
This just isn't right.
