Goddamn - when VDV scored that first I thought my predictions would ring true and they'd score a second then settle in midfield and kill the game off.

But then Ronaldo happened, fucking Real Madrid Ronaldo no less. Amazing.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Anyway, Congrats Portugal and Germany. They will probably make it through to the semis looking at who they play. Man this Euro has been entertaining.

 

[fuenf]

Scholl is saying that Gomez meant to play that ball to Poldi, so i'll believe him.

Not sure what to think about this game though, it's clear that Bayern and Madrid players were scared of fucking it up again.

 

[Kiraly]

Portugal vs Spain in the semi-final will be a game to behold surely

 

[Fry]

haha, ever since robben knocked us out of the champ leagues at old trafford a few seasons ago, his career has gone to shit.

-lost in two champions league finals
-world cup final
-embarrassing himself at the euro's

serves him right for being a smug cheat!

That could be said about half of United's team.

 

[pulga]

Are you guys seriously arguing a team with Pastore, Masch, Di Maria, Lavezzi, Messi, Higuian, Tevez and Kun Aguero is inferior to a team with CR, Nani and...Pepe?

 

[MedIC86]

To bad we lost, but i have good hope Germany or Spain will crush portugal ;D

 

[criesofthepast]

At least Italy will have good company with the Dutch if they flop tomorrow.

 

[Freewheelin']

Title is amazing :lol

 

[Hieberrr]

Why was Germany so reluctant to attack? There were so many times when Germany could have set up an attack, but they kept passing it back down to the mid-field and backs O__O.

It's this style of play that really pisses me off. We score 1 and think the game is won, so everything is about playing "safe". 5 minutes later and the game is tied...

 

[mocolostrocolos]

This is amazing.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

lol I don't like him at all but you're still bitter about that?

nope, just not a fan of robben!

 

[Cosmozone]

Where is the gif for that jumping fan after the second German goal? I am disappoint.

 

[hylje]

Portugal through as a big surprise? Hardly IMO.

Well that's your humble opinion, but you need to consider they've not really been remarkable in my eyes for last couple decade and going against Nederland and Germany this year? I certainly expected these two go through. Not Portugal.

 

[Verano]

I predicted the win...awww yeah...

let this be the day CR7 scores and wins it for Portugal....awwww yeaaa..troll the dutch!

 

[Madridy]

Amazing performance by Ronaldo!

Scared of giving it away

 

[immy]

Can we ban messi vs ronaldo talk, cause it's dumb.

 

[The_Monk]

POR-NED

I see what you did there.

 

[gutter_trash]

where are all the Ronaldo haters gonna hate gifs at?

 

[mocolostrocolos]

We play better than Holland and don't concede so many space.

 

[Alucard]

What did Ronaldo's shirt mean?

 

[SkylineRKR]

Most of our players, except for Huntelaar and van Persie, had pretty mediocre to terrible seasons, and they thought themselves better because of the WC final and the pretty easy qualification round. And for some reason most players lack stamina and fitness for some reason. We also lack good wingers who can give a cross.

Also, van Persie is shit in the Dutch team and lol, Robben at the right wing.

The WC campaign has been rather terrible as well. But the willpower and fighting spirit was better. The WC group stage was much easier than this one, giving us time to grow in this tournament. Slovakia is shit anyway, and Brazil then blew up themselves against us.

But yeah, there has been something wrong with our stamina and fitness this week. Both Olsen and Low were surprised by it.

 

[criesofthepast]

Italy vs Greece semi final is still possible. It's about 0.0000001% likely but I'd die if that happened.

 

[Rad-]

This is amazing.

Looked even better from the other view because you see the ball flying.

To not concede & to lure the Danes out of their defensive formation.

 

[fuenf]

just wear a Barca kit and you'll be fine

 

[Clegg]

terrible comic

What exactly was this about?

Its bascially saying that Ronaldo is a prick and Barca are cheats. Both of which is true but it doesn't really get to the point as to why you think Ronaldo is better than Messi.

He isn't btw.

 

[cube444]

Well that's your humble opinion, but you need to consider they've not really been remarkable in my eyes for last couple decade and going against Nederland and Germany this year? I certainly expected these two go through. Not Portugal.

Fair enough but the Dutch looked shaky coming into this tourney. Plus after Euro 2004, nothing is ever a given.

 

[Andrefpvs]

What did Ronaldo's shirt mean?

Some message to his son.

 

[MPW]

ronaldo saves portugal

germany vs greece next round

this shit is rigged i tell ya!

 

[Korez]

:3

 

[mocolostrocolos]

just wear a Barca kit and you'll be fine

Ronaldo has scored in the last three or four matches against Barcelona so we better don't.

 

[Razor554]

He is most definitely not better than Messi.

Ronaldo is great but Messi is just superior.

Pretty much yeah. Ronaldo is an great player, but it is a shame he plays in Messi's era and will always be the number two.

 

[Djrds]

What did Ronaldo's shirt mean?

Something like "Happy birthday junior (his son)".

 

[panty]

He is most definitely not better than Messi.

Ronaldo is great but Messi is just superior.

Yes yes whatever.

 

[spidye]

Scholl is saying that Gomez meant to play that ball to Poldi, so i'll believe him.

nice if true but he didn't have his best game for sure.

 

[xbhaskarx]

No one seriously believes Ronaldo is better than Messi, do they? #2 in the world is not so bad you know...

 

[Messi]

Are you guys seriously arguing a team with Pastore, Masch, Di Maria, Lavezzi, Messi, Higuian, Tevez and Kun Aguero is inferior to a team with CR, Nani and...Pepe?

Top loaded team is top loaded.

 

[fuenf]

Ronaldo has scored in the last three or four matches against Barcelona so we better don't.

oh, you are screwed

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

POR-NED

Clever girl.

 

[feel]

So happy right now!!

Almost everyone was great (not Postiga), special shoutout to Veloso, he was huge for us today.

I usually don't mock after victory like this, but bring on those orange tears.. such cocky people, glaf you left completely empty handed through the back door. Fuck you Robben.

This is amazing.

That was some Iniesta level shit right there.

 

[Diprosalic]

lahm is really the only player i don't like on the german squad.

 

[fuenf]

nice if true but he didn't have his best game for sure.

it's funny from a technical / footballing standpoint i'd say it was his best game of the tournament, but that shit didnt help us at all why cant he play good football and score goals?

 

[Willkiller]

ITT some people don't understand that a team on paper and a team in practise can be two VERY different things.

Or they don't understand football.

One of the two.

 

[MPW]

What? Deffense: Federico Fernandez, Ezequiel Garay and Clemente Rodriguez. Are they better than Coentrao, Bruno Alves and Pepe? The only one in Argentina is Pablo Zabaleta.

Middlefield: Sosa, Gago, Mascherano, and Di Maria if you wanna consider him as a middlefielder (which he's not). The only one of the first 3 is Mascherano, the other 2...

The only thing that has Argentina is the forward: Messi, Higuain/Agüero. The rest? Crap besides 1 or 2 players. Portugal is more solid as a team.

lol @ robben and dutch

 

[pulga]

Top loaded team is top loaded.

They could always bring back Zanetti and Cambiasso!

 

[Yager]

Are you guys seriously arguing a team with Pastore, Masch, Di Maria, Lavezzi, Messi, Higuian, Tevez and Kun Aguero is inferior to a team with CR, Nani and...Pepe?

That's the problem. From all the players you mention, only 1 can play in the defense. Pastore never plays, Lavezzi has no room, Tevez has no room. And from the ones who play, there are only 2 that can play in the middlefield: Masche and Di Maria, and that's not his natural position.

As I said, Portugal may not have those 'names', but overall it's more solid than Argentina.

 

[Sylver]

No one seriously believes Ronaldo is better than Messi, do they? #2 in the world is not so bad you know...

Yes Xavi and Iniesta are those , but well C. Ronaldo fourth position isn't that bad.
