I'm rooting for Poland.
Portugal is overrated, they did pretty poorly in qualifying games. Poland beat them.

4 years ago they qualified poorly as well and ended up in the Final, so I would squelch what you think about qualifiers.Originally Posted by Rockafella143

Same as in World Cup, just barely got by and ended up 4th best in the World.
Oh and Poland. Yeah, there is a Super Power.

Not going to get into a whole convo on it, but did you happen to notice that in exactly 2 months after Euro, the Olympics were in Athens?Originally Posted by Rockafella143

Coincidence? Most anyone in the know will bet that it was fixed to boost the country for the Olympics.

Portugal 2 Turkey 0
Great match by Portugal. That could have been a 4-0 or 5-0 easily.
MVP: Pepe
Joao Moutinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho and Bosingwa played very well too.DoN'T Be a FooL... WRaP YouR TooL!
NO! Portugal IS NOT a province of Spain!

One of the two will take the cup. (I hope)

Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and he struck the Philistine and killed him; but there was no sword in David’s hand. (1 Samuel 17:50)

Poor qualifying always rattles me, but they seem to come on as the matches progress.
Pepe played very well today, but too many missed calls on both sides. It helped Portugal of course in the end, but I like it to be fair for both teams.
Ronaldo was simply amazing today, no goals, but his setup to Raul Medeiros was what we are expecting him to do this year. No more hiding in Figo's shadow, time for him to show the WORLD what he can do.Blood......Sweat........RESPECT!!!!!

Had to hit the gym after the games today and not too sure how things are in the US, but here in Canada, people have flags on their cars and horns honking. There is a party in the streets in Toronto after every win.Originally Posted by Escorcio

Lol why is everyone so on Ronaldo's nuts, I hate it when a player does something decent and people hail him as a king just because of who he is.Originally Posted by MetFan
He did not create Medeiro's goal, Moutinho did. What Moutinho did was pretty magic, the assist was his.
Ronaldo did have a good game today though, Deco had a poor one.
Thought Nani's leg was broken in the last minute! Watching the replay I thought I saw his bone pop out of his leg, but it was his shinpad moving
