Let’s hunt the lions

July 1st, 2006 | By: Luis Paulo | 48 Comments »

I’m heading now for an English pub with a friend from Mozambique, dressed on my Portuguese t-shirt and carrying my flag. Here in Rio there are dozens of Portuguese who will gathered to watch the game but I’m want to be there, at the enemies fortress to scream goal like never before.

This World Cup has joined some surprise for US. After 40 years we meet England again. 1966 were the greatest World Cup for both of us. Portugal made history and England won its only title. The destiny reserves its irony for 40 years later, when we once again, are trying to re-write our own football history.

Today, strategy doesn’t work that well anymore. The attitude, the strength and give it all it’s what’s matters. Let’s show them the Portugal from the Euro04. Let’s make them remember the pain to be out again. Let’s win this game! FORÇA PORTUGAL!

As an Englander who spent half of her childhood in Sweden, i can safely say it’s not us who are the fags!!

Congratulations to Portugal tho the style of play was not what i expected

Oi Oxy,

Tim, i’m glad we had your team to warm our seats in advance.

To everyone else who is here to bitch about the team that, um, won: The English played a hell of a game because they were realistic, they knew POR wouldn’t be easy to overcome. So they played their best game of the tournament & they didn’t deserve to lose by penalties.

But they lost. Period. Get over it. Enroll in a gym. Take cooking classes. Move out of your mom’s. Learn how to rhumba. Don’t let your self-esteem get shot. It’s only a game.

What a lackluster affair today. Sure we won but have we just extended our demise. Penalties is never really satisfying especially that we were up a man for over 30 minutes. France scares the crap out of me.

Tim,
Thank you for allowing us to celebrate, cause you know we wouldn’t if you didn’t say we could!
And to all you TIM’s what you don’t understand is….if we go home…we will be happy with our team’s performance. They have accomplished more than alot of the critics have ever expected!(WITH EACH WIN, MAKING THE a..HOLE BIGGER!) We wouldn’t be sore! We would congratulate who ever knocked us out, Because you see if you beat our team, I believe you must be pretty good…and therefore i would want you to go all the way…so then we can say, hey they beat us but guess what they went on to be WC Champions!
BY the way along with Germany we were the only team left with no losses and no draws….aside from Brazil…but we know their fate tonight.
DO WE BELONG HERE! HELL YA!

and we will celebrate the sweet victory…and believe me it will be sweet to know that all you pathetic losers will be drinking yourselves into a cirrhosis!

FORCA PORTUGAL

Jose’
I will never shut up…at least not to the likes of you…

The truth is you can’t take it…You are so pathetic!

England played a terrible tournament and today, there was nothing different about it.

RICARDO saved penalties there was no diving involved, there was no faking involved, there was no cheating involved, there was no theatrics involved,
JUST PLAIN SKILL!
FACE IT YOU WENT HOME CAUSE WE WERE BETTER!

FORCA PORTUGAL!

Congrats to Portugal!
great diving skills, theatrical performances. This team is even better than Italy (inventors of diving, performances, etc).

England played way better, but Ricardo and referee (how on earth could FIFA appoint argentinian thug to referee England match?) managed to bring them down. Overall England did not play well enough. But you will face some real team now, and you will go home in misery. Portugal – France 0:3, the whole world will see what Portugal is about after semis

My ral name is Jose’. I just call myself Villians to cover up the shame I feel of that name. I will be the one crying loudest of all on Wednesday.

On other news I used to be a woman. SO if I get over emotional that is why. sometimes I cry when my parents lock me in the basement.

Duhhhhh! I sure wish I could spell.

I love you no matter what Villians. You can spell your name however you want. As long as you continue to give my those amazing orgasms.

Pauletta,
You couldn’t handle a Portuguese girl, you’re used to those dirty scanks who don’t shower or shave! I don’t think you like girls in general. I have a feeling you like them a bit masculine!

And me….I prefer good looking man with brains and morals and big packages, which I am sure you don’t have….You probably couldn’t even satisfy an ant!

FORCA PORTUGAL!
