Portugal Vs. England - Euro 2004 - It a was good football match. I very much wanted Portugal to win and they did. Somehow, I am always against England...(Probably got to do with my hate of colonization). Even in their last match, wanted Crotia to win - unfortunately that didnot happen.
Portugal was clearly the better side, mainiting possesion for more that 60% of the match. Yet, they lacked the strikers to convert the wonderful passes from the midfield into goals. Ronaldo clearly disappointed - concentrated more on irrelevant dribbling tricks rather than converting passes to goals or giving good crosses to the center. Figo was always hitting 4 feet above the top bar.
Too much attention and pressure on Rooney and what an anticlimax! Poor guy. Always liked his style of play - doggedly chasing the ball and playing his heart out.He does look a hefty guy for a 19-year old! (anything to do with the german super-baby?)
It takes guts to take a penalty shoot, just after you have saved one. Hats off to Ricardo's bravery (or is it foolhardiness?).Beckham and Rui Costa lived upto their superstar billing - missing both their kicks cleanly.
My manager is again behind me to get results..gotta work..
