There is no first or second match -- the final group games are played simultaneously.

 

[Falch]

Matches are played at the same time, this last round. All start at 20.45 European Time (Amsterdam, Brussel, Paris), which is 19.45 in Portugal.

 

[norinrad21]

Sweet.........

 

[amrum]

it will be tight as hell. Solari[sp] better put Renaldo in the starting line up, that kid will be bigger than Figo someday

Portugal's coach name is Scolari (Luiz Felipe) he is from Brasil & the kid's name whom play in Manchester United is Ronaldo (Cristiano)

=P

 

[norinrad21]

lol ok ok ok

 

[cuccoo]

match going to start soon... prediction 2-1 for spain, and 1-1 for the other match.

 

[COCKLES]

This should be a latin sizzler...

 

[cuccoo]

scored already

 

[Mama Smurf]

*blinks*

Am I watching a time delay or something? Scored?

 

[cuccoo]

russia 1 greece 0 right now

 

[Mama Smurf]

Oh, haha, two games, I remember.

*is stupid*

Dammit Greece, I want you to win!

EDIT: Good, Pauleta yellow card, won't play in the quarter final. I know England aren't there yet and we won't necessarily face them, but it's potentially good.

 

[Hooker]

I can only watch the Portugal - Spain match, I want to see the Russia goal :/


Ronaldo and Deco are showing Scolari who's boss btw, fun fun fun

 

[ourumov]

Portugal is owning Spain in every sense...Puyol can't stop Figo and that's dangerous.

Come on Torres !!!!

 

[DrM]

Russia scores another one
2-0

 

[Hooker]

What the hell, I WANT TO SEE THE RUSSIAN GOALS!!!

 

[king zell]

wow

 

[Mama Smurf]

Way to fuck up Greece, do you want to play France? DO YOU?!

 

[Hooker]

Man-o-man, Cristiano Ronaldo's pricetag has like quadrupled after this game. He's tearing the whole Spanish defense up. With 3 man around him he'll still get the ball through, a corner kick or the foul.

 

[Prine]

Great match. I want Portugal 2 win. Ronaldo is rincing the Spanish team

 

[Hooker]

2-1 Russia-Greece

 

[Mama Smurf]

Stupid Torres. Stupid Ronaldo.

 

[Alucard]

Ronaldo tore it up that entire half but Portugal had nothing to show for it. I wish I was watching the Russia/Greece game so I could actually see some goals. :-\

 

[ourumov]

I think that would be a good time to just change Xabi Alonso for Xavi and Raul for Morientes. Just my opinion.
We are going to loose this match because how silly our trainer is...there are good players that should be playing NOW.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Hahaha I just saw that Greek miss in the half time highlights. Awful.

Having seen the space Russia have, now I REALLY want to play Greece next round.

 

[Hooker]

I just saw the goals in the half-time report.

The second goal of Russia was very nice. A header in the same spirit as Larsson's goal against Bulgaria. Russia's first was the very first action and he shot from about 25 yards in. 1:10 on the clock, fastest goal ever on an European Championship.

Greece's goal was due to Russia's bad defending in the box. Fryzas just re-cooped the ball and headed it home

Xavi and Valéron need to go in. Not Morientes.


Valéron for Raul and Xavi for Alonso

 

[ourumov]

Valeron scored on the first match and IMO he is in better shape than Raul...But I think that el "Moro" is even better than both.
Anyways they are warming up (Valeron and Xavi). A substitution is coming.

 

[Hooker]

GOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[ourumov]

GOAL....Portugal scored.

 

[cuccoo]

thats so sweet!!! great goal.


so who qualify now? spain or greece?

 

[Hooker]

With this score, Greece


EDIT Goddamn, that jumping Portugeese girl had some big balls on her :S

 

[Hooker]

THE POLE!!


Torres close

 

[cuccoo]

what channel do you watch?

all i see are some sad spanish girls.

 

[Hooker]

Nederland 2, show of the NOS


BBC also has the same feed as us

 

[ourumov]

Spain is gonna loose...Raul is totally exhausted and needs to be replaced NOW.

 

[cuccoo]

k, i'm watching some spanish-language channel here.

 

[DrM]

another pole....

 

[Hooker]

If it's any consolation for the Spaniards in here. The referee didn't fuck you over


(And another brilliant chance for Portugal, they should be ahead like 3-0)

 

[Mama Smurf]

What a terrible miss.

 

[Mama Smurf]

Bye bye Spain.

Kind of sucks Portugal topped the group, but nevermind.

One favourite down, let's pray there aren't anymore tomorrow.

 

[ourumov]

I wanted Spain to be eliminated... I didn't like how the coach did things nor the alineations done. We deserved it.


Congratulations Portugal !!!

 

[cuccoo]

spain eliminated, served them right for keeping morientes as sub.

 

[DrM]

Portugal will play with second team from group B, Greece with first from same group
Group B - France, England, Croatia, Switzerland

 

[Hooker]

Wow Ouromov, our coach is a total asshat as well (as demonstrated yesterday) but I don't think I could ever say that I want my country to be eliminated at a big tournament.

 

[Rogerkiller]

PORTUGAL PORTUGAL

 

[deadhorse32]

Seems like Spain is the first 'favorite' to go.

MORE FAVORITE OUT SOON

 

[ourumov]

Wow Ouromov, our coach is a total asshat as well (as demonstrated yesterday) but I don't think I could ever say that I want my country to be eliminated at a big tournament.

I have never identified myself with Spain (nor Catalunya although my language is Catalan)...For me it's not as dramatic as it seems.

 

[Mama Smurf]

I hope there aren't any more favourites eliminated in the group stages. I thought it was greta while it was happening in the World Cup, but the quality of later games really suffered for it.

 

[Solid]

I wanted Portugal to win, and they did. Weee

I feel sorry for Spain though, but they ain't better then this I guess.

 

[norinrad21]

LOL.................spain sucked. Portugal should have won with more than 4 goals
