Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
I think Portugal need to bring him on to improve their end product.

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
Alan Hansen had best say "Portugal, more like POORtugal" like he did in the World Cup about Uruguay.
Also, how ****ing useless were those team selection things? You wouldn't have enough team to read "Smith" or "Holmes", let alone "Papapapapadopopopopoplososososo" x 11.

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
After about 20-25mins the game has turned into a complete shitefest
best bring Ronaldo on so we can at least laugh either for when he does something silly or takes the piss out of 4 or 5 greeks when he gets the ball past them.
Portugal surely have to take off a holding mid and hurl Ronaldo on.

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
Indeed a hatful from Rui Costa and Pauleta would sort me out

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
Figo didn't turn up, Rui Costa was abysmal, the only good thing the portuguese can take out of the match is that ronaldo played well.

Ronaldo isn't a defender; he's not big or strong, and he's not a good tackler. Everyone knows this.
Except Rui Jorge and Big Phil Scolari, it seems.

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
Although Portugal was terrible and completely without a decent organisation those Greeks should get some credits as well, they played very secure, calm and organised. You would expect them to gather around their own goal for the entire match but that wasn't even the case luckily.

Dellas, as the only member of the greek team I can spell with any certainty without checking, played well; Ronaldo may well have had a couple more goals without two very good blocks from the defense, and that's not even counting the number of crosses and passes cut out early.

Both the Greeks and the Portugese rose to the occasion of playing in Porto's stadium.

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
http://www.itechnology.co.za/index.p...5S163&set_id=6 is more what im referring to. Theres better links on it, but thats what a quick google produced.
But yes, both teams produced a wonderful array of acrobatic free falling gymnastics.

Re: Something I'd never thought I'd say about Ronaldo
Im instantly backing England to tank either Spain or Portugal. Or Greece for that matter.
Semi finals is probably as good as its gonna get.

Please don't.
Although the group is, on current form, nowhere near as strong as we had anticipated.
