Czech Republic v. Portugal (Wedn. 11 June)[R]

[Tony Dellbird]

Milan Baros is playing like a man possessed!

[RibbyBollywood]

See, Cech is keeping them in it but Portugal has not had much attack for 20 minutes until now in the 41st minutet.

3 people on the ground! It's carnage.

That was a fairly easy save to be fair. It's just the power and the weight of the ball that made it hard to catch.

Some nice long range drives by Ronaldo.

What's it with Baros... does he have some inner-world class footballer inside him that only comes out in June every 4 years ....?

Thought you said dives for a second. They seem pretty ordinary they're always down the middle and to beat Cech from there it's going to have to be special.

A long shot from Ronaldo 42'

But you still have to be careful about the rebound

Portugal is the slightly better team, but Cech is sharp and Ronaldo looks to be
a little off his game.

[Fan123]

I thought Czech Rep. was going to get canned in this match. They are currently playing very even with Portugal.

........Ronaldo looks to be
a little off his game.

Didn't you see him drop to the ground after getting a pinky in the face.

I say he is right ON his game :D

[glennaldo_sf]

I reckon we see the first red card of the tournament today... if not in this game, then in the Switzerland-Turkey game later on.

So far, a pretty entertaining game. I say Portugal will take it in the end. 2-1 to Portugal.

[ReMad]

Ronaldo freekick 45+1'

Ronaldo is having one of those 'world's most hyped player gone AWOL' tournaments... a la Ronaldinho in 2006.

It's the English media and MAN U that hype him to be the best. This drives up the selling price for any takers who would actually want this cry baby.

I want to see what he can do in Italy with a REAL defense to contend with.

[forza_azzurri]

Geez. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black....... :rolleyes:

Yeah ....get over that stereotype buddy.

it's getting old !!!

I only saw Germans fall to the ground at WC06 !!!

mainly against Italy when the 2nd goal went in

[Andy Bulldog]

Go Portugal! I suppose, heck I DONT care who wins this one really.

Also did you see Petit grab his hand after he got stepped on his shoulder??? :rolleyes:
