Portugal vs Germany Quarterfinal- Euro, 2008 [R]

[The Jitty Slitter]

Giving Ballack more room to play by bringing in another def midfielder turned out to be essential in that respect...

not to mention cover for Lahm and a platform for schweiny

funny how if you field a proper formation things work better :D

It's Euro 2000 all over again... Portgual are going to come back from two down to win 3-2 like they did vs. England... nuno Gomez scores.. deja vu!

Forza Portugal!

[Rui_GENIUS_Costa]

Meireles seems to be doing ok after that forced substitution. Any changes you guys would make?

[Inklink]

WTF was that? Oh, did he step on him afterwards?

[code1390]

What a joke Ronaldo is.

[TheGrimSweeper]

HAHAHAHA nice delayed reaction there Ronaldo.

[!Bob]

hahaha...crybaby Ronaldo!!

[Chess_Panther]

Ronaldo alone dived more than all the portuguese team together...and might I say, that the czechs and turkish beated us at that...

[Inklink]

2 yellows in a minute for Germany.

Trying to jinx them I see.

Not even close. There's been more diving in this game than half of all the diving in the entire tourney.

Yeah, he did step on his foot, so I won't judge him on that. But he seemed to be on his feet rather quickly and without any problems.

[peledre]

This referee has been consistent all tournament long. Consistently terrible.

It's now starting to rain in Basel, lets see how this quilt of a pitch holds up...

[benztown]

2 yellows in a minute for Germany.

The second one was slightly unlucky. It was a deserved yellow, but Lahm has been fouled before.

[The Natural]

Same ref from the Turkey vs Czech game.

[TheGrimSweeper]

Damnt Ronaldo cut your mullet, look like a tool.

[The Natural]

Boswinga has yet to make a decent cross.

Scolari should put in Quaresma for Simao.

[sendorange]

Lahm needs a more defensively secure player in front of him now. Bosingwa is going to keep pushing forward.

[glennaldo_sf]

I'd love to see this go to penalties... knowing these two teams efficiency, it's probably end up 13-12 or something like that.

[sendorange]

Pepe should have buried that. great chance.
