You're right, we did reply in kind and I'm not particularly proud that my team did that. 

I'm not rewritting history, because if you pay any kind of attention to the highlights as well, it was the dutch players that "kicked it" off with Van Bommel trying to crush Ronaldo's ankle and all hell broke loose from there. 

Oh please, as if Holland played anything at all in that game. Wow, they got a ball on the cross, good for them . Go see the match statistics and see who had the most oportunities and played the best football. 

I'm not particularly confident against Germany tomorrow, but that's because I have no qualms in saying that the german team is better than us by a longshot . Still, i'll be pleasantly surprised if we do win as that'll give us a big morale boost. It's not as if we haven't beaten a much better German team before .

Yes, the Dutch team started it, but Portugal didn't even think for a second of taking the high road. Like for example Spain did in the World Cup final of 2010.

I watched this game back then and Portugal wasn't any better, for most of the time they just defended their lead. It should have gone into overtime based on the two teams' play over 90 minutes, but Portugal lucked out.

When did you ever beat a good German team in a game that mattered? The only win I recall was in 2000 and that was against the poorest excuse of a German team they had in the last two decades.

Sorry excuse of a german team? Just because they played shitty doesn't mean that they still had some of the best german players of their time in the lineup. That's a pretty odd way to classifiy anything .

And yeah, I agree with you in regards to Portugal's players attitudes (as I said on my previous post too).
