I could have killed the linesman! -_- At least he was right though cos if he was wrong i would have thrown stuff at the TV! OMFG...one of the worst 90 minutes of a football match ever from a portugal fan point of view! Its only the first bloody match too but my nails have actually gone! I was proud of my nails too cos i never grow them and for 3 weeks ive been growing them and they were actually going long and looking nice, now...they're back to having no nails, well very short nails! -_- Anyway, back to the game. I can't believe how unlucky Nuno was. Poor guy, so unlucky, i really hope his goal comes on Wednesday! It was a horrible first half to watch. We could have and should have been winning! Ronaldos free kick...WOW! I said to my brother "Thats never going to go in" and omg, what a save, couldnt believe it. We were so unlucky not to score but i kept having that feeling that Turkey were going to snatch a goal on the break because when they attacked, they looked dangerous and their set peices too were pretty damn nasty! Im over the moon Pepe scored. Many people have said "He shouldnt be in that squad as hes not Portuguese and doesnt play int he Portuguese league anymore" Bugger off is what i say, hes the CB we need!!! He can go forward as he showed and he is a solid defender so happy hes scored and hes an ex Portista! Then it had to be aonther Portista who scored Raul Meireles :D :D Set up by my baby! And i say Feck off to all those Joao doubters too! I know...its just one game but he had a good game and over the moon he was able to contribute to the goal! and well done Raul on your first goal! I am actually happy that game of football is over. Ive been nervous all day for it(i was never this bad for the WC so no idea why im like this now :unsure: ) and then i coudnt see a goal coming because it just didnt seem to want to go in. So happy though and i'm glad its Wednesday our next game..my nails can grow back a little bit only to be bitten off next week :ph43r: Forca Portugal! :D |

Im just happy you dont have Pepe either to make it an all chelsea back 4! :ph43r: (Even though Terry is just as good though)! Bos had a great game. Im so going to miss him at Porto, i really am! Still can't believe hes gone. Its actually horrible watcing him in his Portugal kit and hearing "Chelseas new defender" But as for the chelsea back 3 we had, if you could get the Paulo play like the Paulo in Portugal that back 3 would work so well with Terry however....why he cant really perform as well for chelsea as he does for Portugal it puzzles me! Also something else i never added about the Portugal game..... Colin Kazim Richards.......HOW MANY TIMES DO THEY HAVE TO MENTION THE BOY IS FROM ENGLAND AND HIS WHOLE LIFE STORY BLAH DE FECKING BLAH!!! It actually pissed me off! He had a shite first half the dirty little shit int he 2nd half he was much better but i dont know how many times i heard them commentators kiss his fecking arse!!! :angry: <_< As you can tell, that really annoyed me!! Im upset about Alexander Frei. Seeing him cry really made me just want to hug him. He had done so well to come back from Injury and then for this to happen! :( Johan Vonlanthen.....after 4 years of waiting to see him....i've finally watched him play! Ages ago on the Manager game i always used to buy him cos he was cheap and a brilliant buy and since then ive been wanting to watch him. I got all excited for the world cup because he was called up to the squad...only for him to pull out because of an injury so 4 years of waiting..ive seen him. Not that he impressed that much but he was so unlucky with hitting the bar! I actually done the "Oooooahhhhh awwwww" sort of noise you make when your team hits the bar :unsure: I've got to shut up, ive typed way tooooooo much! :ph43r: |

Aw vik! It was so emotional for you! I wanted portugal to win aswell but I wasn't emotionally involved :lol: The game was waaaay better than the the first, tbh I didn't think turkey would be as good as they were! Portugal's defence was solid, & i can't wait to see bosingwa in the prem, he seemed to be on his arse alot, well when he wasn't he was bombing up the wing :lol: PEPE THE PEANUT. He is quite loveable, the way he celebrated awwww. He was really delighted! I loved how everyone jumped on him, subs & all :lol: Kazim richards haha erm. it took the piss when they mentioned all the schools he went to & said they should be proud he's at the euros -_- Ronaldo's FK :huh: Bloody brilliant save. & What a nasty tackle at the end on poor nani! Aurelio was brilliant all match aswell but fgs! <_< Oh & final thought. Quaresma.didnt.play. :( |

:lol: Well the first game is important, you win it and you can take that win into your next match. You lose and you feel a bit "Oh shit, we really need to win this to stay in the competition" and the heads of the lads may be a little bit down. I honestly felt that god hated us and didn't want any of our players to score. I still feel so sorry for Nuno, i actually want to go and hug him! I really hope for his sake that he'll be the guy to score our next goal (Yes, even more than me wanting Joao to score and thats saying a lot! :blink: ) I didnt expcted him to be this good today and have said bad things about him in the past but i really cant help but feeel so sorry for him and when he looked up to god and asked "Why won't you let this ball go in for me" i was like awww! Eeee Pepe the Peanut! :wub: I loved his celebrations too. Its really annoyed me the past couple of months when hes been in our team and portuguese fans saying "He shouldnt be in there" blah blah blah! As youve pointed out the way he celebrated.....a guy that "doesnt give a shit about Portugal" wouldnt celebrate like that and wouldnt make himself available to play for Portugal. They really bug me those who say he doesnt love Portugal. You can tell inside what that goal meant to him and for the team! :wub: Posted Image Posted Image Pep looks like hes actually crying in the picture where everyone is on top of him. Now you tell me that he doesnt give a shit about Portugal! -_- and yeah Aurelio had a good match, he played well! And the tackles..the one on simao on the edge of the box :blink: and then that one to Nani..ouch! And also...many people complain that we dive a lot.....umm...HELLO TURKEY!! <_< And yeah no Ric! Quite gutted about it but then im over that moon that Joao stayed on for the whole game. I think with it 1-0 Phil knew that if Ric came on it'd be more attacking when he just wanted to hold onto the 3 points and thats why Meireles & Meira came on as they're defensive. Maybe wednesday we'll see a bit of Veloso or Quaremsa :unsure: I'd atually take a whole 90 minutes of Joao on that pitch though than them two come on to prove the people wrong even more! |

Haha yes turkey were diving about quite alot, tuncay im looking at you
-_- Joao was awesome, the way he turned away from the defender to set up meireles was class :o B) I know it was a but mental how many times the post/crossbar were hit! But its good they kept going & didn't just think oh no its not our day! Oh yeah that simao tackle! That was awful from the defender, the ball bounces towards simao so he just boots him :blink: He played very well too! Simao :wub: So I take it your house was happy tonight Vik :D |

Yeah, im glad they kept going if they stopped i wouldnt have been happy! As i said above...i really hope Nuno's goal comes though! The defender like kicked him in the knees! I was like AGH I HATE YOU but then it went to Nuno only for him to hit the post though -_- but i would have loved it if he scored because it would havebeen because the defender kicked Simao cos he was through -_- Yeah, everyons happy! :D Everyones gone to bed though! And well the brother has gone out with his friends and therefore its just me up and well im not going to bed yet :lol: Im too happy! haha, god im sad! Its only the first game :ph43r: Im really happy because of Joao too. He actually made me proud! Ive stuck up for him so much because as you know i love the guy and think hes wonderful and feel people saying he shouldnt be there are wrong. And so its actually nice hearing people say "Wow, Joao was great....." and so on. Hes just made me really happy :D Ronaldo and Joao...look at them! :wub: Posted Image Ive got to stop typing so much and shut up about Portugal! :ph43r: |

LOL Ronaldo is like twice his height! Did you hear the commentator he was like, Moutinho is a future star, only coming 22, he's one to watch :D & Paulo Ferreira :o He has the amazing eyes :D I think I like him... He was talking & he looked so cuteee. I feel bad though because I used to call him a donkey and laughed if he started against liverpool :ph43r: Sorry paulo! Ohhhh & before the match they were showing the guys training & someone pushed ric & he nearly fell but he started laughing aww it was so cute :wub: You should be happy! Top of the group ohh yeah B) I think portugal have a really good chance, based on tonight, the defence looked really good and obviously the attack was very good. They said big phil said he has 4 of the 10 best wingers in the world! Isn't he lucky! :lol: |

Poor guy, I really feel for him. He's captain, his country's hosting the tournament, and he's out in the first game. Pity. Anyway, if Arsene should ever in his life step down, I think I want Scolari for us. I was very impressed with Portugal. They played beautifully. Their match against Turkey was much better than the boring Switzerland vs. Czech one. |

Just watched the Turkey-Portugal match, was pretty good, dont worry about being so emotional Vik, Im going to be a nervous wreck on Monday (if i dont die of heat stroke tomarrow). Anyways, onto the match, I def could see Portugal and Turkey advancing from this group unless they keep having trouble scoring, both are good attacking. Aurelio impressed me alot in the match, and their one defender was huge! it was funny when Nani was trying to push him off the ball because he was sooo much smaller and just gave up lol. Portugal imo are too shaky in the back though, if Turkey had better attackers or strikers I think they could have scored, Nihat had some chances where he took a touch too many and lost the ball out for corners instead. Both teams fell over at the slightest touch though which is annoying, hopefully that doesnt continue in the tournament, but the precedent has probably been set now. |
