    I cried the day Gary Speed died.
    He was the Premiership player with the most caps when I was growing up

    Clueless

    Would you come off it, you know well that he's forever acting like a child on the pitch, when it suits him. That's what separates him from world class defenders.

    Also, I've no idea what his nationality has to do with :confused: A cheat is still a cheat, regardless of the country he represents.

    I don't like that I'm thinking the loss of Ramsey is huge. I have this feeling that Ronaldo is going to turn up today and score two. I really hope I'm wrong about all of that.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,257 ✭✭✭Peist2007


    Portugal have been nothing special. Very tough to beat as shown v Croatia but Pepe out for Portugal is a bigger loss imo than Ramsey's to Wales.

    Bale to destroy Portugal on his own. I'll go with Welsh Megaman on the 2-0 :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,356 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman

    How on earth was he at fault for Iceland goal

    The right back was at fault :pac:

    Proving you arent watching games

    Pepe also did the right thing defending the Lewa goal

    The defensive midfielder was at fault for this

    So yeah Ill keep my pompous attitude

    And you can keep being wrong :rolleyes:

    They had already cross paths for the Iceland goal. He should never have recrossed the right full again. It made the right full look out of place but it was all on Pepe, the right full hardly knew Pepe was gonna come flying past him.

    He didn't do the right think for the Lewandowski goal. He ran into no man's land. There wasn't anyone to defend other than Lewandowski.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 3,257 ✭✭✭Peist2007


    Any link to the story about Sanchez being possibly older than he says he is? Pretty terrible accusation if untrue


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize


    Portugal anthem is a bit meth


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,019 ✭✭✭✭adox


    Think it will be tight enough but Portugal have more match winners than Wales(Nani and Ronaldo for sure) so I think they will come out on top.

    Really hope I'm wrong though and Wales make more history.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,366 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    The Portuguese anthem is a good anthem not a great anthem.

    Come on Wales. I'd say the English soccer fans are sickened watching this. Sickened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    No red kit?

    I actually think Belgium would have a far greater chance of beating Portugal. I hope Wales win but I think they'll miss Ramsey big time and I don't think they'll top their performance against Belgium.

    Don't know how you can say that after Belgium's performances against Wales and Italy.

    George Hamilton just explained that Wales are the away team and must wear away kit but Portugal's home strip red is too close to Wales's away colour so they must also wear a change strip.

    Bizzare, the cynic in me think it's all about jersey sales for Nike & Adidas.

    Honestly if someone had told you in 2012 that in 2016 wales would be in a European championships semi final. They'd have asked you how many pints you had and what time you stopped playing football manager. Madness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,949 ✭✭✭A Primal Nut


    Think Bale is more likely to come up with something than Ronaldo. Wales have scored more goals than anyone and won four out of 5 games whereas Portugal have only scored 4 and haven't won a game in the 90 minute periods. Have watched all the Portugal games and haven't been impressed. Think Wales will win it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Odd that they're both wearing change strips.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,492 ✭✭✭Sir Oxman


    Best of luck Welsh Megaman!

    Come on WALES!!!!

    Anyone know how many games Ronaldo played since Pre Season last year? Must be a ridiculously high amount compared to usually.

    57

    It's the multimillionaire Swedish ref!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,805 ✭✭✭Rezident


    Great tackle. Ronaldo in shock that he can't just demand a free kick every time he wants one.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize


    Aaron Ramsey!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,366 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Yeah good luck Welsh megaman. I wonder would John creedon play the welsh national anthem tomorrow night on his show if the Welsh win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,294 ✭✭✭Kalyke

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize


    Fcuk up by Joe Allen- but was he fouled first?

    He probably gets more stressed when his hair is out of place.

    Nani really is a disgrace to football


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,179 ✭✭✭✭sligeach


    Brutal refereeing. Allen was fouled first.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭mansize


    Portugal's change strip is hideous
