IMO, if Portugal wins this game and gets into the semi finals, assuming Cristiano doesn't have a shocker he'll have a strong case for the Ballon d'Or.

Why no Rosicky??

[cjdmadcow]

Why no Rosicky??

Achilles injury, which also kept him out of the last game.

[teddykgb]

Meireles really struggling thus far

[teddykgb]

laughable card on Nani, deserved card for Veloso

edit: Howard Webb doing Howard Webb like things

Zomp, you realize you spelled "quarter" wrong on every single QF thread?

Just askin

[teddykgb]

Somehow and someway,
My disdain for Nani grows
Each time the douche plays.

He has a pretty good case anyways, and with the way he's been the catalyst for this team, I'm inclined to think he gets it.

And I greatly dislike the douche bag, but he's having an amazing tournament.

#8 for the Czech Republic made a few preventative strikes with the diving and playacting, he practically called Nani out

Nani wouldn't be like this if he didn't learn it from Ashley Young. There's no way he learned to dive from his international teammates

[Hendu's Gait]

woodwork is dominating this game

[teddykgb]

Cech got a glove on that but it probably hits the post anyway

[SocrManiac]

Cech is playing out of his head.

[teddykgb]

what the hell is going on with the pitch

everyone is slipping in the 2nd half

[SoxFanInCali]

Baros tackles Meireles. Ex-LFC on Ex-LFC violence!

[teddykgb]

Portugal in the midst of one of those classic squander 7 good chances and lose to one counter attack kind of games

[SocrManiac]

Ronaldo is reverting to "whiny bitch" form. Pretty sad to see.

[sachmoney]

Deserved goal for Ronaldo.

[Hendu's Gait]

and there it is

[teddykgb]

man Figo looks like he could suit up

[mikeford]

Such a shame Rosicky couldn't stay fit for the Czechs. Coulda been different.

[Vinho Tinto]

man Figo looks like he could suit up

I have zero doubt Paulo Bento would immediately airmail Quaresma back to Turkey if he was available.

Ronaldo Resolve.

[teddykgb]

yeah, Quaresma seems to bring that out of all his coaches

[Snakebauer007]

Baros tackles Meireles. Ex-LFC on Ex-LFC violence!

During the Czech's first game, I was shocked he was not only alive, but still starting.

[DLew On Roids]

Plus, now he looks like Kurt Warner after looking like Little Lord Fauntelroy when he first showed up.
