2006 World Cup: Quarter-Finals - Portugal x England [R]

What do you mean could care less. That's a huge factor in this game. Sometimes you need to take a guy down to prevent a goal scoring chance, it won't be an easy thing to do with all those yellows.
I agree we need to play for the moment, but more importantly we need to possess the ball as much as possible and use our outside speed and play OUR style of football.
If England controls the pace and we just sit back watching their long balls, we have no chance.

 

Not only do I hope we dont get any red cards, but I hope we dont get any yellows either. Dont want any1 missing for the game vs. Brazil if we beat England!!!

 

Agreed. Prevent the Scoring chance, take the yellow.

We definitly need to do that.

 

I like this line up, but I would replace Petit with Tiago. Tiago gets the job done without picking up as many yellows. Hopefully, we can bring on a fresh Petit in the 70th minute to help protect our lead (se Deus quiser).

 

Only Joe Cole will trouble you?

Please don't break his foot again.

 

you are completely right. it's time to play our football. then yellows or reds shouldn't be a big problem.

 

Fortunely, neither Ferreira nor Andrade( the dudes who injured Rooney) will play. BUT we always have Petit

 

Sorry but Rooney, as good as he is, does not have the dribbling skills of Van Persie or Joe Cole. It was that dribbling skill that left Valente on the ground several times.

 

I would watch out, as you can see from the picture below Rooney is almost back in shape...

 

valente will be matched up with beckham AGAIN and we saw who won last time.. beckham wont or shouldnt be able to beat nuno valente with dribbling.. he may use speed but that wont influence the game too much..what beckham needs is space to cross and as long as valente can close that space becks wont be as strong as he possibly can be..

 

No need to hurt, a strong gust of wind could take out his brittle foot

 

LOL.

This probably belongs in the Dutch thread...

Or if that doesnt work...Maniche could just fall on him. That would proboly cause some sort of injury.

 

Or just send Ronaldo to pull off some john deere on Rooney's GF. That'll really piss off Rooney and make him do some pretty crazy stuff

 

Why doesn't Paulo Ferreira be given a chance?

 

Quoted by an English Fan:

Neville over Miguel? Ferdinand over Carvalho? Robinson over Ricardo right now?

This guys are to overconfident. I don't know what to say.

 

Take out Miguel for him no way.

 

Neville over Miguel? That guys having a laugh.

And although alot of his matchups are right, we've proven that games aren't won on paper... they're won with a match of skill, heart and determination. The've only got 1/3.

 

So many Haters, So little time. I mean Portugal/England are playing the same style. I think it will be an Unpredictable game, But The English are way too overconfident.

The key For Portugal is there Midfield and I hope the better teams wins and Not let the game be screwed up by the bastardo ref.

 

No... put him on the left instead of Valente.

 

Tell him it that Crouch is definitely goofier than any Portuguese player.

 

I hope this game is as clean as a whistle. Well, Second thought, The ref mouth is pretty dirty.

Quoted by the Russian Ref:

I don't want no italian ref nor a Russian ref. I'm pulling For Hector Vergara

 

Give us a Japonese ref.

 

yeah, it'd be sweet if that bald dude with the crazy eyes is reffing.

what's his name? anyone know what i'm talking about; the guy who reffed in part of euro 04?
