We have to blame (and I sure do) our goalkeeper Ricardo, who played horribly throughout the competition and who I always disliked. Once again, as with Greece in the final four years ago, he got out of the goalmouth in a situation where he was not sure he could get the ball and Germany scored there, once again, against the flow of the match, after 20+ minutes of pressure closing in on the 2-2. Portugal played well, I could say "better" than Germany, but playing defense also counts. Bye Scolari, bye Ricardo.

Oh and what a fantastic game by Deco, an amazing player, he was everywhere and he ran a marathon.

You are a real sportsman, thanks for your congratulation.

I think we've seen a super thrilling match, great fight from all players, both teams would have deserved to win.

Deco was excellent in my opinion, but Arne Friedrich did an excellent job against Ronaldo.

What made the small, small difference in my opinion was that to me it seemed that the Germans had the slightly better tactic, more team orientated.

But I'm sure if the Portugueses had made it to go into extra time they would have won.

What a great game. :yes:
We're not in this alone.

hey man, you react as i would say something against you?!?!?!? :huh: you can't write it's nothing personal, since you nearly comented every single word i wrote hear.

hey, i live in austria, i can't support germany :D ...being rivals for many years in every sport brings some excitment in it, right?

so far in this discussion here, everybody wrote what he thinks about EURO 2008 and nobody was attacked by others for that...it's great to discuss here and read what others write (and of course writing good things about the teams he likes...that's normal)!!

...but don't write here "this is nothing personal" and attacking one single person here...me!!!! you don't like what i wrote? no problem, man, but don't become personally, ok?

anyway, let's enjoy the last matches of EURO 2008!! :D

Congratulations Germany, an amazing game, I hate to say it but Germany wanted it alot more and there sheer presence (average height 6'1") made them a real force. And as a previous poster said Ronaldo was shown for the player he is which is very good not world class.

Come on Croatia (I have them in a sweepstake at work)

...and ronaldo??? now i think the whole world has seen that he isn't that absolute player as many people think...he is a very good player, but nothing more!!

..and ballack has proven once more that he is the most arrogant player and a really unfair one too...the third german goal was more than irregular!! like always germans have the luck!! i hope so badly that they will loose the semifinal!!!

portugal, shame on you, austria was playing better against germany than the portuguese team!!!
Dude, fouls happen every minute at every soccer game everywhere in the world. How about Aufhauser hitting Podolski in the face with the ball 30 meters away? Didin't hear you complain about that one...you really need to get that anger under control...it doesn't suit you...

i never said that all other players are fair...and aufhauser was more than lucky not to be sent off after this ugly attack....that's nothing we want to see in a football match!!

but i see our german friends here have problems with my posts, so i will not post in this topic anymore!!

...but just keep one thing in mind, i'm not attacking or insulting members here like others do!!!

..and if germany should win the EURO 2008, i won't be glad, but they would deserve it, because a team never becomes champion by chance!!! :D
