a bit of a lull in the game here, but deco almost had a wondergoal strike just now

here come portugal again, ronaldo surrounded by 5 red shirts gets a shot off that cech does well to hold on to. ive got a feeling this game is going to create a sensational goal

tommy smyth is an idiot for thinking that was accidental, players know what they are doing. he clearly stomped on petit's hand there...imo, thats red card kind of stuff


another poorly defended corner kick by portugal...other teams are gonna take note of this if portugal advance


btw, im glad chelski got bosingwa and not man utd...he is awful on the ball, hes lost the ball so many times in their first game and now this game

czech rep look a much better team with baros up top rather than jan koller

6/11/2008 12:36:14 PM

so far a very entertaining game

6/11/2008 12:38:19 PM

yea it is, i thought i was the only watching it haha

ronaldo denied by a great save from cech again

6/11/2008 12:42:25 PM

I just still can't believe I'm watching soccer.

6/11/2008 12:43:13 PM

I just still can't believe I'm not watching soccer. work ftl.

6/11/2008 1:05:07 PM

good start to the half

6/11/2008 1:05:51 PM

game of the tournament so far?

6/11/2008 1:10:37 PM

nah, i still think that dutch game was the best so far.

portugal need to bench simao and start quaresma instead, simao is lacking a good touch or pass in the final 1/3. and bosingwa is garbage

6/11/2008 1:18:38 PM

there is ronaldo. i knew he was coming in flying in the middle, he wasnt on the screen, but ive seen him enough this year with man utd, that was a classic through the middle run to finish that off. great goal


viva ronaldo!

I'm not watching today, but I thought he was great against Turkey

6/11/2008 1:23:21 PM

yeah but that dutch game was pretty one-sided, i feel like this game has both teams playing almost equally as well

6/11/2008 1:25:34 PM

i was keeping an eye on him that game, cause i wanted to see what man utd missed out on...he lost the ball a lot when attacking, which is the worst thing you can do when you are a wing back, since you are already pushed forward. hes lost the ball a lot today too...the problem is they are stupid losses, like hes faced up with the defender and instead of just passing diagonal or back to his own player he tries to take on the man with simple moves that are easily defended


and its created quite a few counter attacks from both games

from yahoo uk commentary a short while ago....

42' RONALDO!!! Great ping from 35 yards with his swinger! Cech firmly palms away.

6/11/2008 1:44:33 PM

useful shot that one.... uuuuuseful

6/11/2008 1:49:12 PM

game. set. match.

ronaldo finishes off the czechs with a breakaway and settin up cech to pass it to the streaking quaresma on his left...lol a 2 on 1, with the 1 being petr cech

6/11/2008 1:49:21 PM

glad to see ronaldo share the glory in the 91st

6/11/2008 1:55:01 PM

haha is anyone watching this game? the field is literally minutes away from being flooded

6/11/2008 3:11:31 PM

ahaha good god, every kick of the ball looks like someone is cannonballing into a pool with how much splash is coming off the field

6/11/2008 3:14:46 PM

HAHAHAHA in my mind that is the goal of the tournament, that ball stopped before it could even make it to the player...hilarious goal


Switzerland up 1-0 as it looks like they are playing in the Rhine in Basel and not actaully on a soccer pitch

yeah it's pretty damn wet out there - cheap goal but it counts

6/11/2008 3:18:14 PM

dang, should be 2-0 after that attempt

6/11/2008 3:20:03 PM

that goal was hilarious

6/11/2008 3:20:07 PM

backpasses to GKs are going to be nightmares

6/11/2008 3:20:32 PM

that wasnt that cheap,,, pretty good execution

6/11/2008 3:21:17 PM

i hope this field isnt used in any more important games, cause after this game its going to be ruined

6/11/2008 3:21:48 PM

should have been two,,, barely missing the cross.

6/11/2008 3:22:54 PM

well as hard as it is to find a european radar...i think i managed to find one that shows the rain will be letting up soon there

6/11/2008 3:24:53 PM

ahahahaah this game is comedy....that dude couldnt dribble the ball forward to save his life

is it just me or does judy foudy look sedated?? its as if her eyes wont open all the way.

6/11/2008 3:42:04 PM

Damn it, I hate this Turkish team. I hate this coach. I hate watching this crap. When we missed that one free kick off of the post, I just knew it was bad news.

6/11/2008 3:48:39 PM

nice header - didn't see that one coming really

6/11/2008 4:01:11 PM

lovely header to equalize

6/11/2008 4:01:43 PM

whoa, that guy is bleeding

6/11/2008 4:02:27 PM

sweet equalizer

with these conditions I don't think it was the last goal

6/11/2008 4:04:36 PM

big phil heading to chelski as manager...with that squad a monkey could coach chelski to at least 3rd place...so well see how he can do

Squad will look a lot different I'm sure

6/11/2008 4:10:42 PM

6/11/2008 4:11:39 PM

can we get some more graphics in front of the ball please

6/11/2008 4:17:24 PM

ahahah nihat, that guy looks like a goon...shouldve scored just then too

6/11/2008 4:18:00 PM

yea that was a big chance for them to pull ahead.

6/11/2008 4:21:09 PM

oh my god switzerland

6/11/2008 4:28:01 PM

what a save by the keeper anyhow

6/11/2008 4:28:37 PM

this is great, you are all like prophets,, as my espn360 is about a min slow. i read it here, then switch back to the game to watch it play out.

6/11/2008 4:31:18 PM
