To marina etc.:

From Germany:

You are talking nonsense.

As a German I must and like to say the Dutch were – apart from that accident (decisive, though) against Russia – the most impressive and pleasing side of all in two of their matches: France, and especially Italy, outclassed !

Portugal’s soccer seems to reflect Portugal’s history:

Always colourful, but when it comes to the heart of the matter, they falter.

A couple of points portugal as a team and a nation need to realize. The best team does not always win, especially in soccer. What matters is having a team that is good enough to win year in, year out. Brazil the greatest nation in soccer is the best example of this, every tournament they play they have a team good enough to win and sometimes they win and most times they don’t. But when the chips fall in their favor, they have a good enough team to take advantage of their good fortune. The number one killer in professional sports is not being ready when your chance comes. Portugal has been ready for the last several tournaments, they just need to continue this untill the chips fall in their favor. I believe in being due, and I think that your teams today will decide your results of tomorrow. If portugal continues to have teams of the same caliber over the next 10 years they will no doubt win a major trophy, because they would be due…and it will most likely come with a less than likely team but that’s how it goes. Aside from this a couple team related things I would suggest.
1)No to Carlos Quieroz as the next coach (please). He is second to none in developing youth but he is not a man who takes the finished product all the way. He is way to defensive a coach, this ensures going far but not all the way.
2)Portugal have always had good strikers and goalkeepers. Ricardo made big mistakes but thats only because he was not the best keeper we had to offer. You pay the price for the bad selections you make. And our striker are under-achievers because of the soccer we play. Forget the 4-5-1 and play 4-4-2, when you give them more time on the ball they will score more goals.

“We had one of the greatest team games of this euro.even ronaldo who is the most individualist played as team.so watch the games before say something.”

A team doesn’t fight over who’s going to take a freekick.

There are a lot of errors to point in this euro,it’s no useful to point them cause will change nothing, but at least we can show and try to people see how ridiculous this euro was.germany won to portugal badly,wasn’t just the goal of ballack,was also a penalty in favour of portugal that the referee didn’t saw(or pretend)the germans game is so much amazing as dirty, they are to agressive,no wonder ballack is on the top of the players with more fouls, with other german players s few positions below.we can’t blame the referee,but sometimes, by watching the games, we don’t have any choice,cause when a team plays clean, good and had all the chances to win,and at the end, lose because of some stupid errors of the referee,what do you want us to say.in 2010,we’ll see some countrys again playing,and my will be there too.

“Portugal will win a tournament when the players will stop being a bunch of individualistic ego’s and start playing as a team. Basically never…”
Basically, you don’t understand nothing about football.We had one of the greatest team games of this euro.even ronaldo who is the most individualist played as team.so watch the games before say something.

I’m sick of all the blame on the referee…the referee didn’t make Moutinho knee it, he didn’t make Ronaldo skirt it wide, he didn’t make Postiga head it over, etc.

Sure, Ballack’s goal was questionable, but it was a 50-50 shot…Portugal could have and should have won, and it was our own fault, not the referees.
