Was kinda sloppy at the end. Nice pass set it up but Cech came out to early and had to scramble. Did a nice job of delaying the goal but was just too far out of position.

Fun match. It was very entertaining. Ronaldo looked great as did Deco. Czech looked to be just as good as Portugal they just couldn't finish.

While the Czechs can't pass and handle like the Portugese they had enough chances to get a draw or even win the game they just couldn't finish.

the czechs really missed rosickys creative passing in midfield without him they had no play maker and had to resort to hard work and set pieces to get a result.

IMO ronaldo did not have a great performance and is totally over rated

Word, I haven't been too impressed by Ronaldo all tourny. He's done literally nothing but run into the path of a ball.


I thought the Czech's looked great. And I was incredibly impressed by Sionko and Jankulovski, great great players.

Ronaldo may not have looked spectacular so far but I don't think he is overrated by any means.

I really enjoyed the game today. Portugal played a good match.

I think Ronaldo is trying to do too much, it's not like he's playing for fun, but playing to impress people. That shit is getting him stuck.

Just saw the highlights, Portugal looked like they played well. Bad luck for the Swiss, Looked like a sloppy game because of the water.

Ronaldo is exceptionally good and i admit that but i do hate him, He is one of the worlds best but there quite a fair few i would prefer to have on my squad over him if i was a manager.

yeah theres no denying cronaldo is good but i think hes over rated because:

he claims to be a midfielder but contributes nothing to the game apart from his goals and occasional assists

hes greedy, he takes too many shots on when there are more intelligent passing options on

he cries and moans worse than most players.

he dives more than most players

towards the end of the season occasionally if someone was challenging him for the ball he would stop running and look at the referee, some weak ass premiership refs would give him a free even though they would not have if he had kept playing.that shit sickens me you have to play to the whistle.he tried it yesterday but the ref was having none of it.thank God

those are just dome of the reasons i dont like him and they are based soley on football

gotta laugh at the way u spelled his name CRONALDO .,,

and i gotta agree he is bitching around for years now and everybody knows he really don´t need that cause he could be much better without that ... but there is no1 who can controll him anymore .. he thinks he knows everything better and when challenged only thinks about gettin some easy FK and with acting making the ref give the other guy a card... thats a bit shit

Germany hasn't looked good so far. Their Defense has had some major holes and Lehman looks like his age is catching up with him. I love Germany because Ballack is the man and I think they will win this game but Lehman might become a concern.
 
#157 ·
I don't think Lehman looked good for about the first half of the first half.

There Defense has been horrid so far and I agree idk what's up. Germany is usually a machine and they don't look like that right now.

Well this isn't what I expected from this game.
