More poor goalkeeping from Cech, gotten away with it both times tho.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Wtf are the BBC nuggets watching? How is it a great save when Cech could have saved the shot with his head if he'd wanted - ie he can easily get both hands to it without remotely stretching and all he did was pat the ball nicely to an oncoming attacker who fluffed it onto the crossbar.

Honestly the levels of dumbness the human race achieves never ceases to amaze.

Rather apathetic with England not being there but I drew Romania in the sweepstakes so I will be tuning in to see how they get on.

Well at least one Englishman gets a game. Colin Kazim-Richards (who was once won in a Coca-Cola competition, trivia fans) celebrates a start for Turkey with a yellow card.

It’s staggering how Portugal can keep producing fantastic midfielders/wingers yet they still can’t get find a decent striker. I mean Nuno Gomes hasn’t been decent since Euro 2000 and Helder Postiga is on the bench.

Anyhow, the best thing about this game so far has been the diving.

Thought you would be backing the Dutch all the way

Nice break by Portugal there.

My mum is but they selected Andre Ooijer and his tosh.

Pepe of Real Madrid is playing for Portugal, last time I checked he was Brazilian. Anyhow, good coup by Scolari, Pepe's a good defender.

If you can, put the 5Live Commentary on.

Doesn't that go "GOAL" about six seconds ahead of a free kick being taken?

 

[Jamee999]

Nah - the "red button" syncs them.

ITV's coverage of Portugal and Turkey is sickening. You'd think there's only one player out there. They might as well not bother showing football and just have footage of Gary Neville and Andy Townsend sucking Ronaldo's **** for 2 hours instead.

Setanta have the rights to that IIRC.

Brumby beat me to the joke I was gonna crack

Impressed me actually. Think England could have used him as a winger.

Seriously though, Portugal looked good today, but I bet they peak too early. They'll coast through the group and then lose to the first quality side they play.

France to win it.
