Bad luck today for portugal , they played better . But in a uninspired day of Ricardo , specially Petit and happy day for Schwasteigger or whatever ..... Though I think you guys agree with me a fair result would be 2-2 or somethin like . It looks like Kahn still is in shape.

The most unfair result of this cup... 2-1 or 3-2 for Germany, or a tie with extra-time would have been the normal result... however, extra-time would be painful because these games are really pointless
Unlucky Petit and schweinsteiger was really on fire.
btw, that fucking Ricardo Costa... what a disgrace. how on earth can that idiot play for a national team?? what an awful defender... my dear Jorge Andrade...
All in all, very good perfomance by Portugal, I'm really proud. For a country that hadn't gone through the groups phase for 40 years, a 4th place is f-awesome. We lacked a world-class striker during all the competition (like Henry, Klose,Toni,...) though.
For those who say we don't deserve to be in the 1/2 finals... so, who deserved? England? Argentina? Brazil? Maybe we played the same as those teams, but there was something: WE ALWAYS PLAYED LIKE A TEAM. It makes a lot of difference. Our career in this WC is deserved, period.
Cheers... oh, and I'm rooting for Italy tomorrow... my all-time 2nd national team

Calma aí rapaz, juro por tudo que não houve da minha parte a minima intençao de atacar o Brasil... se vires bem eu disse brasil, argentina, inglaterra, como podia ter continuado e dizer ucrania, espanha, holanda, e outras equipas que ficaram para tràs porque em algum momento falharam como equipa ou perderam a consistencia.
se eu tenho razao de queixa de alguem sao dos ingleses, muitos tiveram mau perder e marcaram a selecçao de portugal e o cristiano ronaldo como inimigos para toda a vida ao que parece. do brasil e dos brasileiros, desta vez, só tenho coisas boas a dizer... eu pensava que mesmo a jogar mal voces chegariam pelo menos ás meias-finais, devido aos talentos individuais... tiveram o azar de apanhar uma frança muito forte e compacta

Sorry but from the second round onwards you score a whole 2 goals, and thats including the 3rd place play off. YOu played a 10 man england and still couldnt score and u played a bad tempered clash with holland.
You like england had a problem scoring goals and without diving or ref's descisions going in your favour the WC would of gone differently not just for portugal, but for most teams.
so saying period is poor judgement.

Well, I will say that the overall level of this World Cup was mediocre at best... the lowest goal average since 1990 and the highest ever number of yellow and red cards shows that boring football prevailed... after all, look at the teams that made it far, all teams that prefer defensive over offensive football...
And Portugal... well, I think fourth place is ok with them, even though the team never showed much. Perhaps their high point was beating Mexico on the first round, because they never played well after that.
And Germany, well... some people may like being third. But, for me, if you play at home, not winning the World Cup is a failure. And Germany was lucky to even make it that far, as they were outplayed by both Argentina and Italy.
I may sound bitter, but this World Cup was way too boring for my taste. I am praying for an entertaining final tomorrow, but that might be just wishful thinking at this point.

This WC was boring for one reason and thats the ref's and FIFA's agenda.

What!!! They had 60% of the ball and did nothing with it. And no, a 5 - 1 Germany win would've been a fair result. Do you even watch the games or know anything about soccer
I was close in my prediction though... I did say 3 - 0 Germany before the start of the game (yes, I know my shit). And Christina Ronaldo is the biggest cry baby on the planet who deserves the diver of the tournament award. If he only would stop trying to show off and play the fucking game maybe he'd be alright...what a loser

Grosso, Henry, Ronaldo, Ballack, Asamoah, Camoranesi, Ribery... they don't play for Portugal, I guess.
But yeah, Cristiano Ronaldo needs to grow up and realize he messes a lot of good chances by diving. and then he shouts to the ref... that's really lame, I admit. Pauleta had some bad attitudes during the WC too for that matter.
On the otherside, it's awesome to see how you and a lot of other english people still are bitter against portugal. yeah, we've been a problem for you over the last six years... get over it
I'm just taking the piss, don't get annoyed
I don't want any more mess about this stuff, it's over... it's over. But on the other hand I'm sick of seeing stupid criticism to C.Ronaldo and Portugal.

So all the experts must be wrong who said that Germany played, except from the semi-finale against Italy and partly the game agains Argentina, offensive football.
And that's including not only German experts like Beckenbauer (despite the fact that I hate this man) or former players, but also the international experts.
There is an article in Spiegel about that fact, that it was a great World Cup looking at the atmosphere and all, but a boring World Cup qualitywise.
He said most teams didn't try to show their own strenghts, but tried to destroy the strenghts of the other team and so the players couldn't show their talent.
I think he is right, but I also think that Germany played the most offensive football since more tan 30 years.
Thanks for the link, annie_vox, that's hilarious

I left for Europe on vacation and haven't had computer access, nece did see if you out your money where your England world cup confidence was, did you?
Remember, $25 donation to www.bpkids.org
Still on BlackBerry access only, so won't be checking in until back in the us, hope to see a game as well, and fairly, played as the Italy semi final. Also hope its as well refereed, against fifa directive he let them play, and didn't hand out an excess of cards yet he had total control of the game and the players stopped diving when they realized he was having none of it
So, here's to Totti and Henry showing off only their football skills today, and the world cup coming home. To Italy.

Aren't the Italian clubs that are involved in the ongoing trial accused of doping their players too, or is it "just" bribery?
Imagine that Italy won tonight and all the clubs were found guilty in a few days time. 13 of the players in the Italian squad would be regarded as criminals.

A few of the French players would be affected as well, because they play for Italian clubs (Vieira and Thuram and the like).

Just as it was a handful of high level execs at enron and worldcom, same is true of the clubs.
The players are not on trial, and nothing untoward has been suggested other than some nets buffon placed and even then nothing came of it
