robben kep pleading for free-kicks... which IMO were the most obvious ones... deco on the other hand was lucky in getting some free-kicks...

I saying that Miguel wasn't NT material? LOL just in your dreams. actually i was the one that defended more Miguel in this forum. some members (even Benfica fans) had always that distrustful posture like "oh my god i'm shivering..." "OMG! Miguel against Vicente" etc and i and a few members were the only defending him and trust in him...

There was a lot of diving, mostly from Robben and Deco. They're great players no doubt, but the ref knew when they dove. It was great reffing, that's also why Frisk has reffed the most games in the tourny. Uefa know who's good and who's crap and best refs are the europeans. This guy knows what he's doing and he has the authority on the pitch. The best thing about Frisk is he let the players play. Scholari was hated a while ago by a lot of the portuguese fans, but now things are really different I knew this was how were going to turn out just lik with Brazil. Now the portuguese are full of vitamen C to take on the other finalist. The Orange became O.J and O.J became orange when he was found not guilty. Man those jokes are pretty crappy.

well Porto fans said Miguel wasn't NT material and we said Maniche isn't NT material. Obviously they improved and we were both wrong.

Congrats Portugal.

Holland was a big letdown. uninspired and without ideas... no trace of former Dutch brilliance left...they gonna blame it on Advocaat, even though it was clearly the team that failed last night... but well, so it goes...

Figo = legend
I keep my fingers crossed, that he will score in the final. What a character.

Andrade = classy... he was like: "before i let RvN score that goal I'll rather put it in myself!". And how beautiful he did it....

Maniche's goal reminded me of Brehme's 2-0 vs Holland in WC 90 from almost exactly the same spot. Only his (Maniche's) goal was way more beautiful of course, even though the TV showed a damn replay when it happened...

only minor gripes I have: Deco should stop behaving like a diving pansy and Ricardo should stop rolling around on the ground like a 3rd class actor. It's understandable that a team does that in such an important game, but it was a bit too much IMO...

But good luck to you guys. Your team really deserves the pot.

Yeah, they cut to a replay of Ronaldo winning the corner, and the Host Camera's were caught out by Ronaldo taking a quick freekick. :p
I watched the highlights after the game and managed to get the goal as it happened, it looks so much better than the replays, just brilliant.

Some free-flowing thoughts on the game after having watched it a second time......


First half

-Portugal played fantastic counter-attack football

-the Netherlands playing very predictable football.....Seedorf very inaffective in the playmaking role....sluggish, lousy crosses....overalll, bad outing

-Figo owned which ever wing he was on......boy is Cocu slow...sheesh. I realize that reizger was getting off position, but I didn't realize Cocu was this slow....Figo tore him up, man. Very inspiring runs from him

-Yellows for celebrations......F ucking unnecessary...why are the ruling bodies sooooo authoritative? They're almost as bad as the ones ruling the NFL......let them celebrate for god's sakes and stop constricting that aspect of the sport.

-Very tenacious and uncompromising defending by this kid called Miguel....he tackled well, anticipated the on coming passes awesomely....goodness, he was just great!

-beautiful ball by Deco to Maniche, delicious, begging to be netted ball by Maniche to Pauleta....disappointing strike by Pauleta (respect to VDS......this guy has impressed greatly in this tournamenT. I hardly ever got excited by him in the EPL)

-Overmars.....best Dutch player in the first half....always looked threatening, made very awesome runs against the Portuguese defence like Figo did against the Dutch. Outstanding half by him

-the goal by RVN was kosher....harsh decision by the ref


Second half


*obvious* ....hmmmmm....why sub Overmars> He was linking the midfield to the rest of the attack....did he pickup an injury? This substitution dumbfounded me....an out and out winger for an out an out striker that's heavily dependable on others for goal scoring opportunities.....makes absolutely no sense......he should've subbed Cocu instead


I'll reiterate....Cocu......:kader: :kader:

-A very awe-inspiring goal by Maniche....but credits to fake Ronaldo for the heads up in taking that short corner...boy was that swiftly taken...so rapidly so that the cameraman couldn't recover in time to show us the goal live....lol...anyway, it was a well deserved goal by the Portuguese, first team in this tourney that had the balls to actually venture out and attack while they had the lead....they didn't sit on that one goal lead (massive respect to them)...they contained and absorbed those poor attacking attempts by the Dutch and countered very well.....very brilliant, Carlos.



again, Seedorf was entrusted with too much responsibility....he doesn't have that sort of role in Milan (that lousy egotist)....he had a very horrible game and a very mediocre tournament......and for those that are complaining about VDV being non-existent in the second half......he couldn't do anything about it....he hardly saw the ball and by this time, the Dutch were resigned to just playing long ball type of football....I don't think he's built for that sort of game....it was very desperate and sad to see this squad settling for long balls




the ambience of the stadium.......beautiful...fantastic stuff by the crowd....and the Portuguese anthem.......that piece of music is beautifully constructed, man. I love the choruses even though I don't understand a bit of it...just love the way the fans sing along with it....very hair-raising and heart-stirring.....the sort of music that might make you consider about overthrowing a government....revolutionary type stuff, man....It makes you want to get up off of your lousy, lazy ass and go overrun city hall and slap up your local mayor before making outrageous demands and stuff....



C'mon Czech Republic!!! :rockman:

Great post, dude. :)

:bow: Shokz. Thanks again for your vids, man. I got an almost complete library of the best football year ever of my country thanks to you! (Btw, do you still have the CL final highlights?)

I said a couple of days ago that he was terrible without the ball. He'd forget about covering the opponent's players or defending when the opponent has the ball. Yesterday, he was terrible with or without the ball.


Just wanted to add that.

Best player overall in the tournament for Holland was Arjen Robben, despite the letdown vs. Portugal. I wish him luck in London..

Btw, on the refereeing. This is what Booby Robson said on Ricardo...

"He has to decide if he wants to be a goalkeeper or an actor," Robson said. "It's shameful to try to fool everyone and pretend you have non-existent injuries.''

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ma...n02.xml&sSheet=/sport/2004/07/02/ixfooty.html

yep... Ricardo, despite his impressive deeds vs England = most unsympathetic guy of the entire portuguese team

Provoking opponents before decisive penalties, rolling around like a diva against holland...

maybe all successful, but not very nice...

As for that telegraph article... of course the english press would endorse anything that puts portugal in a questionable light... and RvN behaves a bit like a sore loser IMO...

I like Ricardo he's a good player, he maybe cuts a few corners to get what he wants but winning is winning.

Besides, he's not doing anything that's technically unfair.
