June 7, 200817 yr Wasn't a bad game but both teams lacked quality up front, especially after Frei went off for the Swiss. Czech looked alright and it gives them a good chance of qualification. Solid and compact.
June 7, 200817 yr Big Phil :w00t: I have big hopes for Portugal this year ^_^ Well after looking at the way the draws going to plan out, Portugal certainly have a very good chance of getting to the final. On paper, either Portugal or Germany should get to the final.
June 7, 200817 yr Funny enough the group tables are set up different whoever wins the first two groups they won't meet until the final :unsure:
June 7, 200817 yr It was clearly offside... A good first half, better than the first game anyway. I wish they'd shut up about f***ing Ronaldo though, it's not as if he's been amazing. A good free-kick which took a better save and one decent run. They never stop mentioning him!

They never shut up about him whenever he's playing!
June 7, 200817 yr Well yes on replay. At the time.... Anyway, good first half definitly had me on the edge. Portugal have had about 2 or 3 chances to score, just hope the 2nd half will end up better for them ^_^
June 7, 200817 yr Excellent game. Turkey were better than both the earlier teams. Can't see Portugal winning, too good too soon...
June 7, 200817 yr Portugal where the better team and desevred to win but Turkey still had plenty of chances to score and they should be dissapointed to have not come out with a point at least I would think. But like Mark said Portugal won't win it, they're just not good enough yet.
June 7, 200817 yr I thought Switzerland were a bit unlucky. Neither team really deserved the win though... Switzerland were so wasteful and Czech Republic didn't create much in the final 3rd of the pitch. If i've learnt something from watching that game, it's that i'd be very suprised if the Czechs went ahead and won the tournament... Totally agree - Koller was particularly cumbersome up front and it was good decision to sub Sverkos on in place of him early in the second half. How Vonlanthen missed late on, I'll never know :wacko: As for the second match [which was unequivocally better], I was pleasantly surprised by Turkey - they gave a good account of themselves but unfortunately couldn't create enough chances, and I felt that they were reluctant to speed up their passing/pushes forward, meaning that the were kept on the defensive most of the time. The two goals were beautifully constructed :heart:
June 8, 200817 yr Just why do we have to have so many matches on TV when there are no British countries involved. When British countries are in it I watch matches featuring these countries , but now there are no British countries in it, I just couldn't be bothered watching as i've no interest in it. :( For me it's just overkill.

We always have ALL of the matches on whether there are british countries in or not, it's always a great ocassion and great entertainment for football fans and of course has moments that MAKE football fans!

Becuase people want to watch them! Why do we get so many episodes of f***ing coronation street each week? 50m of us don't want to watch it! Edited June 8, 200817 yr by RabbitFurCoat
