Czech Republic vs Portugal

Jimmy Iovine

World class from Ronaldo. Very unlucky.

Nuri Sahin

God damn, I was counting the money as he struck it.

Professey Chin

That woulda been some goal

Francie Barrett

Meireles has played two fantastic balls in the space of minutes there. Wish we had never sold him

Ronnie hits the beans on toast

Adolf Hipster

Unlucky, great piece of skill from ronnie!

BKC

That would have been beautiful.

HazDanz

Ronaldo close there. If Portugal step it up a gear second half the Czechs are there for the taking

LostinBlanch

Unlucky for Ronnie there. Lovely skill to make that chance. But Nani has been absolute gash.

Dont know how Ronnie thought he could head that one?

People always hate on Ron, sad really considering how good he is

It's sad that such a talented player with great skill, pace, power and a great shot on both feet and who is good in the air is a regular diver. He doesn't even need to dive, he's blessed with such ability it's a shame.

markie29

extremely boring first half!...worst half of the entire tournament.

frisbeeface

Worst game so far. Last few minutes promised more though

Kilinsmann's forming an impressive American accent now!

He is married to an American, and has been living in the US for the last 10 years.

A tournament that promisedso much and started so well has gone sour with the last 5 games pure muck,(Ireland/Italy,spain/Croatia,England/Ukraine,France/Sweden now this,
Teams starting to play very cautious

Umm I've seen messi
Moan at his players about 10 times in the last few games of the season when barca were losing such bias on rte

I wonder what hairstyle will Ronaldo be sporting in the second half?

The hair of one of the worlds greatest players!

RTE will probably highlight ( excuse the pun ) it at fulltime, stating that Messi has much nicer hair.

"Messi would never change his hairstyle at halftime, Bill!!!"

He's been reading the Steve McClaren guide to ingratiation.

what is this? a haiku?

frisbeeface

What a miss!

GLaDOS

Should have tested the goalkeeper at least there

You not in Tolka?

Close by Almeida, should have tested the keeper.

GLaDOS

Harsh from Webb there, going straight for his face

frisbeeface

Better start to this half

BKC

Post again! 4th time for Ronaldo in the last 2 games...

Surely he will score soon...

Renn

Nani was been way off the pace. Wayward passes and just killing a load of attacks.

Ridiculous free kick, that could have broken his nose if he hadn't blocked it.

Looks like they're going to keep giving ronaldo free kicks until he scores one

Nuri Sahin

Taking the piss now.

frisbeeface

Czech waking up?

Renn

Czech falling asleep more like.

Hank Scorpio

Surely the Czechs have a better option than Baros

Hank Scorpio

Ronaldo really shouldn't behave that way towards his own team mates, very annoying to see

keith16

er, the post isn't the target Peter.

Degag

FFS Peter Collins, a shot off the post is off target, not on target.:rolleyes:

Nuri Sahin

Great save.

Al Capwned

enjoying this, i must say....

frisbeeface

Portugal been much better this half. Really should be leading.

Nuri Sahin

That'll hurt.

Al Capwned

Quality goalkeeping.....
Ask questions later!!!

Mars Bar

Surprised if there aren't a few cracked ribs after that!

If Portugal had a striker what a team they'd be. I watching football a long time and I cant remember them having a decent player up top.

Kerrydude1981

Cech wouldnt have made that balls up earlier in the tournament if he took ball and man like he did there

Nuno Gomez was a good striker. Never very prolific though, so in essence i agree with you!

Was just thinking that,they never had a top quality striker to match the great midfield players they have had.

There was no need to take the ball and man in the first instance. It was a simple catch.

Paparazzo

I'm with Ronnie there. Keep the ball in play till the ref blows, doesn't matter how many of the opposition are down.
