Portugal are done in, they've given it a right good go though

Spain have been a lot better in ET. Still cant call a winner though. ive enjoyed this game.

How long 'til Custodio gets booked?
Spain have been better because Portugal have run themselves into the ground. Kinda hoping for penalties now.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
yeah spain should win this now. as long as they don't get any corners. then portugal are in with a chance.

oh this is wipespread on tv and in papers
I didn't mean him particularly, but the popular English attitude to soccer and tactics and 'how it should be played' and why they're tactically so predictable and technically, merely adequate. It's as if English nationalism would rather lose than ever learn anything from those damned foreigners, either that or they're just to thick to learn anything or none of the smart ones play football.

portugal to win it on pens, i'm calling it.

Not really true Michael, I doubt even the dumbest English commentators would say no to a great Brazil/France/Holland team of the past right now.

brilliant pass by Fabregas

did any of these guys get yellows in the qf? the ref just handed out his 9th or 10th, someone has to be missing the final
― Smothered, Covered and Chunked!!! (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link
amnesty after the QFs

Amnesty after the quarters I thought

the fuck is the point of this? it just means that players could dick around here with no risk.

Better than players missing out on the final imo
― Fas Ro Duh (Gukbe), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:15 (eleven years ago) link
Ismael, I agree. If they'd merely played a defensive game, I might be somewhat less sanguine about it, but they took some chances. It was, all in all, a better game than the Spain vs France game, for example.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:16 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, 60% is actually pretty damn low if I think about the rest of the cup. Typed before I thought it out.― indian rope trick (remy bean), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:44 Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

It should get lower towards the final as the opposition/occasion becomes more difficult to cope with - it's still v high by anyone else's standards.
Pepe's "MY FUCKING BALL" throughout that game was excellent.
Spain to take it on pens, CRon to CRy.

They risk giving up free-kicks and being booked twice and sent off. xps
― boxall, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:17 (eleven years ago) link
Meh, cunts shouldn't be encouraged to be cunty just because they want to sell more shirts. the players who deserve to be in the final shouldn't be the ones who have had a bunch of yellow cards ruled out.
― Smothered, Covered and Chunked!!! (a hoy hoy), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:17 (eleven years ago) link
it just means that players could dick around here with no risk.
It also means the 'lesser' sides don't go into the semis with third string players. Uefa know what they're doing in this regard.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
xps Problem is they've devalued bookings so much, a suspension for two yellows has become far too harsh. They need to make it a rolling amnesty - a yellow drops off three games later, something like that
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:18 (eleven years ago) link
Doesn't this happen in the WC, too, where there's a card amnesty after some stage?

eh make up yr mind sam you want the ref to avoid punishing players for football reasons or yr shocked that players may not be punished correctly

darragh, half the yellows tonight have been for ridiculous things barely worth a free kick. the ref can be wrong AND the rule can be wrong.
another great save! oh iniesta spoiling the party.

I bet one of these players tries a panenka, they're too vain not to think they can replicate Pirlo's effort.
― boxall, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
good ol' peps.
I think they should have coin toss to choose between pentaly kicks and keepy-uppies or something; they're something so unsatisying about penalties.
― Love Max Ophüls of us all (Michael White), Wednesday, 27 June 2012 21:23 (eleven years ago) link
