post portugal v england match

[bwilly]

afternoon liao,

heart still aching..

like bottomless pit me still sinking..

this time I blame vassell.. damn it..!!

n the coach..

his tactics all wrong..

tonite play CM03/04 to lessen the pain..

[clammy]

Phew! What a great match to watch.. Extremely entertaining.

Sori fellows.. i know alot of singaporeans support England, but i am just a soccer fan with no preferance for any team.

Sometimes watching the english play can be frustrating especially after getting a goal up. But last night... wow.. they showed great spirit. and the extra time sure was entertaining.. Couldnt get back to sleep hours after the match due to the excitement.

Good goal by Sol campbell that the referee ruled out.. Guess its just another sign of having home advantage? Referee pressure siah!

Beckham was almost non-existent for most of the game, and he screwed it up during the penalty kick. Pretty pissed with the coach for taking Scholes out mid way into 2nd half. They (the english) were giving a good account of themselves in midfield against a very dominant portugal midfield until tehn.. From there, it seems like its the england defenders trying hard to pump long ball to the strikers. Quite sad.

As for the portugese, Deco n ronaldo played quite well, and Figo is the equilavant of Beckham on the english side.. NOn-existent. Screw-up so many good free kick opportunities. Sure, everyone can blame the ball, the pitch, everything.. But bear in mind that both teams ARE playing on the same pitch, using the same ball, and taking penalties from the same spot.

All i can say is. england need to find a decent goalkeeper to have any chance of international success. Too bad didnt get to see Rooney do his part upfront after an early injury.

[kschew1498]

Roidan....see...makan no sa la......YES.....yahooooooooooo .....

[roidan]

steady lah..

underdogs damn good at this euro....

this is more shocking than greece beating portugal in the opening match....

[roidan]

dun tell me this year euro end up same as champions league...

in the end left all the underdogs

and dun tell me tonight holland get thrown out also...hehe

[tivoli]

Wah LAU

France tire punctured ......

Actually all the super stars of real maldrid this year all cannot perform...

Beckham, Luis Figo, Raul ..... and now Zinedine ......

All cannot deliver when it matters the most.

Thats why Real was in deep shit ...

One thing I realise ..... soccer : its not about stars. Its about the team spirit and coorperation. It obvious France lost inspite of all the stars ...... because their team coorperation lost to Greece.

Based on the same principle ...... I guess Holland will crash out tonight as Swenden play better as a team and Holland sucks as a team.

.... I love this game. Anything can happen.

This year I think all the bookie made lots of money.

[roidan]

yeah man..

the money saved not betting last night can buy a red dragon pump...

to think i was so kok-sure that france can beat greece at 1.4 odds even...

red dragon and new camera...here i come

I know of someone who bet $100 on Greece to win Euro at odd:100. Potential payout is $10000. Now, after beating France, this friend is super happy. Two more upsets to go and 10K richer.

Me, decided to stop visiting betting shops.

5 favourites out....only one left is holland, but also not terror. Think end up Czech, Portugal or even Greece may win.

But the greeks are boring to watch. Defend has 6 to 7 people. Every tackle they fall and hold their legs or face.

[bwilly]

czech dark horse.

from the way they played n come back at times.

I think this year is their.

Holland is not consistent, but if they buck up, who knows.

The star are not good enuff.. sometimes one man can do wonder.

current lot just best of the crop, but won't make it within top10.

Remember Maradona single handle won the 1986 World Cup n 1990

2nd placing.

if tonite holland lost...euro2004 ended for me most my favourite team's already boarded the return flight...holland might be next
