Euro 2008

Red Heat · 06-09-08, 07:05 AM

The new Euro 2008 it started...and Portugal play with the Turkish team and win the game (Port 2 vs Turk 0).
I hope this time the small countries as Portugal have the same chances to play Foothball, and show the World they valour, with out injustices was we feelt and we see in the Euro 2004, when Portugal recebe and organize the games.
I was a Portuguese, i only want to see my country and my team be treated as equal as the another teams of the world, nothing more!

P.S. Equal treatment and justice and no preferences from the UEFA, to be in the finals at all cost, ONLY BECAUSE ARE BIG COUNTRIES AND GENERATE MORE MONEY AND MORE AFLUENCE OF PEOPLE!

Good games to all!

You think Portugal was discriminated during the EURO2004?

Greece is also one of the smaller countries and they are the title defenders.
I don't want to judge your opinion but i am interested to know why you think that UEFA tries to prevent "smaller" Football countries to win the championship?

P.S. You also shouldn't make your country smaller than iit really is - considering Team Portugal's past successes and quality of individual players

Good game from Portugal, I am of Greek origin and respect all the teams. Besides look at the game going on now (Italy-Netherlands).

The dutch are in the last minutes of finishing off the Italians by a crushing 3:0. Don'T know if they should be seen as favourites, but it really would be about time that the Dutch land the really big coup. The Germans I have as secret favourites, they have no really spiking stars outshining the others, but the overall mixture of the team is a damn solid mixture. Germany could make it via a strong team effort, and team spirit. While beating the Poles 2:0, they already showed strong morale and aggressive 1.on-1 behavior. He - talking of american virtues!

What will come of the Italians and Portuegese remains to be seen.

I gave a German fan trikot to a British neighbour here in my street, we have many British soldier families up the street, irnically telling him that this is "your team dress this time". First he looked as if wanting to call the buddies from his batallion to embark right on my position, but then he laughed, and not too short.

(We established loose contact for having met repeatedly by chance when walking and he has a marvellous big dog looking like a wolf, about which we engaged in talking,a nd nthe dog likes me whule biting foreigners away usually, he said. Since then we are good neighbours.

What a great game between Russia and Sweden. russia could have and maybe should have scored a couple more goals but they played so well. Russia vs Holland could be an interesting match.

2:0 was not enough for the plenty of 100% chances they had, although the Russians played well. I counted a two-digit number of top chances for them, 10 all in all, but scoring only two. With that goal efficiency, they will not survive Holland, and they will not have as many chances as the Swedes allowed them. the play was great, but if the Russians can repeat that performance level, also is a question. the team is young and still finds together, so I expect a more up-and-down way of going for their team's results. I expect them to be a strong contender in the next international major event, however. As people say: the future is theirs.

Yes and I can imagine they they could cause some trouble for the Dutch defence.

I am also looking forward to Spain vs. Italy.

Red Heat · 06-19-08, 07:37 AM

The D day arrive to Portugal vs Germany, i hope to see a great match and most of all a Great V for Victory to Portugal if possible, if not..."today its a good day to die!".

Skybird · 06-19-08, 08:41 AM

Don't worry, RH, I expect your team to execute ours. Plus we have a handful of handicaps. No good time for us to play football. Anything else than a Portugal victory during regular time would be a surprise for me.

Red Heat · 06-19-08, 08:51 AM

I think it not be easy at all...it will be a hell of a "fight" to go out of there with a Victory...the most important its a fair match and a good foothball match and the best team win!

P.S. Good luck, Skybird...
