[NapoleoN]

Czech Republic- England 0:0
Serbia-Italy 1:0 (Milovanović 63')

After semi-final last year and final 3 years ago, it's time for Janković, Krasić and friends to win the tournament!

 

[Harmsworth1]

Its just a genral opinion after watching the game... I think Italy deserved to win, or at least eqaualise, especially after the chances on goal in the first half...

 

[rpvankasteren]

Portugal deserved a penalty in the first half, and ours was a farce. Oh well, we'll qualify for the Olympics for the first time in 50 years

2-1 now, 15 minutes to play.

 

[Vinnie Jones]

Well i think it was definately penalty in that Moutinho play but to be fair yours was a penalty too, clumsy challenge by Paulo Ribeiro. Holland deserved to win, our team has some good players but our coach is a cancer well known in Portugal who only got the place because of a lobby. It doesn´t surprise me that we started playing better when he was sent off. No one can understand that tactical setup of 4 central midfielders no one knew what to do. I liked Manuel da Costa, Miguel Veloso and Hugo Almeida in our team. After this game i think that Drenthe should be the one worth 25mil and not Nani. Congrats Holland.

 

[Zlatan]

Haha, Nani is sh*t.

 

[Filipower]

the thing is that he isn't exactly sh*t, but the fact that he was sold for €25mill to united made everyone think he's Ronaldo, and he isn't as good as Ronaldo, but just wait and see the kid evolve, really, give hime time.


on the meanwhile, what do you guys (non-portuguese) think of Miguel-fucking-Veloso, does he make you crap your pants of excitement thinking what kind of player he might turn out like every portuguese?

 

[PSVFOREVER]

Never heard of the chap to be honest. So no, I won't crap my pants.

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

At Half time:

Netherlands: 2, Belgium: 1
Portugal: 2, Israel: 0

As it stands Portugal moves on!! *Knocks on wood*

 

[::shinji::]

great header by Vaz Te on that second goal.. Nani almost scored one of the goals of the year with that bicycle kick that just scraped the crossbar.

4-0 with 5 mins to go..

 

[Filipower]

damn, we actually played a nice game today..

all in all we brought this to ourselves, the 3rd spot..we should've won against belgium, if not drawn against holland..


miguel veloso :Bow:

 

[Moreira_Benfica]

how seriouse was the Nani injury.. And Filip im with you Veloso

 

[gamerguy350]

God this game is tense.

 

[ShearerM4]

WHat a terrible way to lose feel bad for the young guys.

What the hell is in the ref's and linesman's eyes though?! That Dutch keeper was well off his line for single England penalty! Surely someone should have said something. Our own fault I guess, the captain shouldnt have stood for that crap, he only had 13 chances to have his say, ridiculous.

PS: Taylor is a legend.

 

[theo]

Boy Waterman .

End of thread.

 

[Zlatan]

Shame I didn't have time to watch the game.
Must've been quite a match.

 

[ShearerM4]

The Dutch coach apprently called Taylor a coward and a cheat on the pitch during that long incident. What a tosser honeslty. That foo' is krazy calling the Tayls any names!!&1

so Holland win. Serbia lost. Thats good, it would have been a travesty had Serbia won. I think UEFA was hoping they wouldn't win too. It will make punishing the Serbian FA a little less embarrassing for them.

It's sad for the good Serbian fans but "up yours" to the other racist scum who call themselves Serbia supporters. Time you learned to live in the 21st century and time to stop being an embarrassement to your nation.

Congrats Holland.

Why the rant on serbia? Did I miss something.

 

[Ubik Valis]

What did they do?

 

[pede54]

England V Serbia. Racist chanting and monkey noises from a large section of the Serbia fans, and Serbia player/s racially abusing black England players in the tunnel after the game.

UEFA said it was not in their power to expel the Serbian team, ( well who the fu<k DOES have the power if it aint UEFA?), but will disipline the serbian FA in a couple of weeks. That left them free to play in the final, although justice was served and they lost.

The English FA are also in trouble because one English player reacted to the racist provocation in the tunnel.

UEFA gave permission to the ref in the final to abandon the game if the Serbian fans showed any more racist behaviour.
