Match 56 (R16) - Spain v Portugal - Post-Match Thread [R]

Congrats to Spain.

 

USA the only group winner not in the quarters, thus says Mr. Tyler. Thanks for the reminder.

Congrats Spain.

 

Awesome Bosque move saved this match. You can give me infraction if you want but I don't think Spain is a team that should go to 1/4 finals. Same goes for Portugal. Bad game

 

cr doesnt seem very upset at all

 

And CR7 fails miserably AGAIN!!!!!

Pretty boy should stick to the underwear advertisement and let the soccer to real men

 

Not his fault at all.

 

That game was won by the refs.....

 

navijaca, I have never seen you say anything positive in all of my time here on Bigsoccer.

Too bad hes such a egoist and so full of himself, which renders all his talent useless since its worse for the whole team.

 

I still think that first goal was offsides.

 

germany and argentina dont deserve to home just yet either... nao ha justica no futebol, neh, lucio?

 

He sucks up to Brasil and trashes everyone else.

 

Call me crazy ..... but from what I saw today, Spain is winnable in my opinion

Paraguay has a fair chance

 

Seriously, how was that loss CR7's fault?
When Portugal pushed for the equalizer at the end it wasn't him coughing up the ball to lose the opportunities.

 

Why are people blaming diva Ronaldo. Its not his fault no one can serve him the ball in a scoring position.

This game failed miserably, all hype not much substance.

 

Congrats to Spain.

Queiroz pretty much doomed our scarce offensive transitions when he subbed Almeida out. It was pretty clear that the worse players were Simão and C. Ronaldo on the field.

How the crybaby is captain is beyond me. His work ethic is appaling and deserving of rotten tomatoes. I sincerely hope he is booed by the fans at every game from now on...what a disgrace of a player.

 

I do post positive stuff when I think they are justified. But it is not that common

 

The curse of Nike: Write the Future lives!

Donovan&Howard
Drogba
Ronaldo
Ronaldinho (didn't go)
Cannavaro
Rooney
Ribery

All out of the tournament

 

Rooney, Ronaldo, Ribery. The three R's of WC flopdom.

 

Only if the refs are truly partial

 

That's a bit harsh, he made some good passes to his team..but his team never gave him much opportunities to do anything.

 

Though it does seem like Ronaldo spends more time on his hair than sprinting to a ball.
