Wouldn't it be funny if Ronaldo won the eurocup? That would bring fuel to the whole Messi vs Ronaldo fight.

Would Ronaldo finally be recognized as a better player than Messi?

This would just show how stupid this theory is.

Pepe and Renato Sanches kept his team afloat today. Quaresma, Nani and Sanches with Croatia. And with Hungary, you could only see him if you checked goals highlight, he's supposed to be a winger but never creates chance for others. 

I give him his merits but he doesn't drag no team on his back.

Slimebeast said: Portugal is a really good world class team, but they just haven't played very convincing in any game in this tournament. They're gonna be absolutely pulverized by Belgium. But I wanted it to be Poland that would get pulverized by Belgium.

If Portugal is a really good world class team, then we have like 20 world class teams?

I'm sorry, but advancing to semifinals alone doesn't mean it's among the 4 best teams. Portugal would be knocked out during the groups phase if the rules were like usual. A team that didn't manage to win a single match - and against weak-mid forces while at that - is far, far from being Europe's top 4. Not to mention the fugly football they are playing

Hell, I don't think anyone on this thread would consider Portugal to be top 4 (except portuguese fans of course).

The same Portugal that draws every single match thus far?

They are only top 4 now because they got into the easier side of the bracket. They didn't show one convincing performance and in the end are just the better of two mediocre teams.

A very good team, but I wouldn't call it world class

That was bad. Just bad.
And to think I missed watching Sir Paul on Bbc because of this game.

Neither of these teams deserve to be in the semi's. But yet, here is Portugal. They get opponents that are somehow scared of their offensive qualities while underestamating their own.
Bad passes and even worse ball-control at times. It's like watching a game of local amateurs that try really hard.

At least we got the worst of the games out of the way.

Mind you, when you are on top of the league, you deserve to be there. So if by any chance Portugal gets into the final or even worse, they deserve it. Shame on their opponents!

Claude Peul is the new Saints manager (as of yesterday), new kit should be out today with out new sponsors (Virgin Media) and Fonte played last night for Portugal and got through. All good.

If we beat Italy then France is not even slight problem.

Huh? The top 4 right now would have to be Germany, Italy, Begium and France.
