a damn, germany won

 

[killadoob]

yea portugal where shocking wow, that defense was aweful

weldone supa called it right , although u did call it wrong against croatia

yea ballack's third goal though was dodgy but he got away with it

germans may have won but portugal threw the game away with some shocking defending

Cheers, Like me and Kule said Germany are going to win.
There is a big difference between guessing a group stage game and knowing Germany are a far better squad than portugal.

If you been watching football for a long time you know Germany is the most reliable team in any tournament.

There is a reason Germany are laying 5th and portugal 11th, as pointed out by Kule.

Ballacks goal was fine, was normal hustling for the ball in the box.

FS i could really kill some SABC3 people right now!But if i had to watch Portugal throwing away their chances yet again(2004 finals-losers of course) i might have lost it in any case.God i guess this changes everything with italy and germany making themselves heard.

 

[SuPaStA]

Germany were the far better team.
Portugal have never won a euro/world cup, Germany have 3 world cups and 3 Euros.

Its a joke people on here were saying they are crap.

I got it right. Knew the Germans would come through when it mattered. There's a reason why only Italy and Brazil have more wc wins than them.

I'm supporting the Netherlands, but i was hoping Portugal would win this evening.

yes i guess individual talent really doesn't cut it...which automatically makes spain suspect, besides that i heard italy's style of playing is totally counter to spain's.

Spain will not have the room vs italy in midfield they have had in previous games. Its going to be interesting to see how they copy with this. Too bad pirlo is missing for us.

def. and gatusso if i'm not mistaken-that might be quite costly...

Gattuso is easily replaced by ambrosini or aqualani. He isn't a major blow. Pirlo doesn't really have a replacement.

 

[pos(t)er]

yes, altho his work-ethic is unmatched.of course luca tonni is also yet to prove himself, a problem spain don't have with 2 of the best in the world, arguably(torres and villa.)
