Horrible commentary. Also @ 5:47 penalty was given hand ball and he says its a different matter if it was goal bound? Hahahah American commentator for sure
Could not be an american but its certainly from an american network, they have english commentators there because no americans know anything about football
Finally Ronaldo played selflessly and see what happened. He made crucial passes and a sensible one-on-one. He let the other guy take a free kick. He participated in other's goal celebrations.
Please God make him more selfless. Else it is waste of your best footballing creation
After the departure of Carvalho, seems to me that Portugal concedes a lot of goals but good thing is, they score a lot too. 1st, 2nd & 5th Portugese goal was class. About Bosnia, they might have a good chance to qualify for the Fifa World Cup 2014. They look very consistent for the last 4 years
Yes, our chances are quite slim to say the least, but are we worst than England at the moment? I would that we are on par with them. As for the three Steevex, one of them will win the Euro, and my money is on Germany
Who cares if they couldn't even qualified directly. They'll be Participants in the tournament next summer, and that's what matters most. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!
Well it may seem that way because of them having to rile on the play-off to make but keep in mind that a lot of times that doesn't not mean anything because when Italy won the world cup in 06's they almost didn't even make it to the tournament and had to wait for another team to lose. Greece also barley made it when the won the Euro. Its all about peaking at the right time and Portugal has grown a lot since Bento became the coach. Anything can happen all we can do is what and see
I'd also like to say, that the main reason portugal didn't qualify was because of their 0-1-1 start in qualifying. Under Bento they are 6-1-1 in qualifying if you count these games against Bosnia. Also, their one loss came without their 2 best defenders
In a game portugal vs england I`d put all my money for portugal and I bet I wouldn`t regret it, frankly I think they also have fair chances against holland. Maybe just not spain or germany, although I think portugal has better squad than germany on paper, gerries are a tournament team - thay always perform when it matters + they have great discipline and are a good collective
Portugal have a great defence with Pepe and Contrao. They also have an amazing wing combo in Ronaldo and Nani. If they realize their potential and gain experience under Bento, I can see them making the semifinals of not only Euro 2012, but also the world cup in 2014
