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

[Amsteldam]

I'm very curious as to how the Swiss will fare against Turkey tonight without Frei.
Didnt the Swiss and Turkey have that melee 3 years ago for WC2006 qualifying????

I remember coaches and players fighting in the tunnel

Czechs need to learn how to head the ball more accurately. They could have gotten 2-3 goals... They are very good at set pieces, but need to finish those.

Yeah they did they mentioned it earlier that security will be extra tight.

Pepe is such a lightweight.

[footyfan1]

That was funny. The ball hits Koller in the family jewels and they call a foul on Meira! LOL! :D

[jerrito]

There goes Ricardo again. Punches back to the center on a free kick. In fairness there was a big crowd in front of him.

[Tony Dellbird]

Sionko blows another chance. 3 minutes injury time to go.

[Amsteldam]

Oh........ Sionko shoots but falls over :o

Game over...

[Tony Dellbird]

Ronaldo squares to Quaresma 3-1. Good CA.

[Hungry Dave]

3-1. I'm surprised Ronaldo didn't shoot there.

Yeah. Ronaldo should really worry about playing more than falling down. :rolleyes:

[Amsteldam]

Quaresma 3-1, lights out

My MOTM is Deco, 1 goal and 1 assist. Both very important goals

Good luck Portugal, you may have to play Germany in the QF's or semi's, you will have your hands full with them, trust me on that :D ;)

3-1. I'm surprised Ronaldo didn't shoot there.

Very unselfish team play, nice touch from Ronaldo. Very mature.

[footyfan1]

3-1. I'm surprised Ronaldo didn't shoot there.

Why? Think he's selfish??

Congratulations Portugal. Well played game against strong and motivated competition - great effort from the Czechs. Portugal looks to me to be one of 4 teams in excellent form right now along with Holland, Germany and Spain.

Portugal isn't afraid of Germany. Portugal will want revenge for that asswhipping Germany laid on them in the 2006 World Cup 3rd Place match.

[Tony Dellbird]

Portugal are in deadly form, although the game was fairly even, the Czech had many chances to equalise and possibly even win but the only statistic that matters is goals scored and Portugal punished them.

You don't score 42 goals in one season by not being a bit selfish. :D
