BASEL, Switzerland — Portugal's entertaining team was not good enough to get past the tough Germans on Thursday, losing 3-2 in the quarter-finals and failing to reach a second consecutive European Championship final.
Portugal played well and impressed with a free-flowing style of football at Euro 2008, but as in the previous two major competitions it played, it failed to come up with a title.
Not even coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, who led his native Brazil to the 2002 World Cup title, could give Portugal its first significant trophy...
Uwaaahhhh!!!
.
I dun haf any problem since I'm not a fan XD
ReplyDeleteDARN! And I was rooting for them too. Actually I don't mind the Germans winning cos I'm rooting for them too but Portugal was my first choice since I have some Portuguese blood in me but oh well, at least the Germans are in. Now if only Holland will play true to form :D
ReplyDeleteI've never really been a big fan of football, but when it comes to Portugal, you can definitely catch me in front of the tv. Watched the match last night and was so disappointed as well.. :(

Turkey is so fluke!! LOL! Okay, granted.. they are pretty hebat but can you believe diorang asyik score last2 minute?? Gila oh! Macam main tiup2 saja! LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy hubby is so disappointed with his Italian team. So that leaves Spain. I only follow football when it's either Euro Cup or World Cup. I can't be bothered by the English Premier League teams. Dunno why...
Shemah ~ I didn't see them play in any of the matches but getting thru to the semis must mean they're good ya.
ReplyDeleteWell, the ball is round, anything can happen. My favorites Portugal and Holland are out so I don't reali know who to root for now. Maybe the Spanish team la... ada Iker Casillas! :D
Haha Don´t cry for Portugal Nessa haha..I am sooooooo over the moon when Germany won! kekeke..I tot Germany will pack and go home after the game and they played well than Portugal apa boleh buat haha..Portugal team was strong but they cannot depend on Christian Ronaldo alone..Hari ini dalam sejarah most of the favourite teams out!..maybe its time for a new history..yeah!.
