Sure, he's nice on the ball, but I thought central defenders were supposed to be able to, well... defend.

This sounds like a comment from me regarding Rio Ferdinand!!!

They seem to think that Portugal are a one man team.

They are. Deco is class.

Bump.

We sucked. Good game by Russia and I was amazed we even managed to score the equalizer.

Before the tournament started I didn't think we would even survive the group stage. Those games against France and Italy are already legendary. More than enough to be happy about.

Hiddink is also a legend.

leaving the way open for a GERMANY .v. ITALY final ..me thinks!

However i would love it if Turkey did a 'Greece' and went all the way

But the Turks are weak. At the look of it, it might be Russia pulling of a Danmark or Greece.

I'd hate to see Germany versus Italy. Two historically boring teams. Blegh.

I hope you didn't listen to me. 😉

The German team is good, but lacks consistency. Some games (like Germany vs. Portugal) were well-played while others were shamefully bad (like Germany vs. Croatia).

Put your chips on the krauts.

Never forget football is a sport invented by the English and in which Germany always wins.

Don't know where I heard that phrase, but it's quite catchy!
