Er, Kharn, it was me who said those, not Karkow.
As for our current playing efficiency, i readilly admit today was a step backwards when compared to other games (like Portugal vs. Spain, or hell, vs. England), but still, that doesn't remove the merit from getting where we are.

*shrugs* Our defence was terrible at times too, but I admire the guts our coach showed by making those constant offensive switches, as opposed to your trainer (who I do like, but shit man...)
Also, your goals were pretty brilliant, while our only goal was just pretty dumb-shit luck, which is kinda rediculous
(PS: ban that player)As for merit, meh. Portugal was favourite, but I knew it would depend on how well we played more than on how Portugal played. And we cracked too much by the (good) first goal.
Still, we bit in and fought and have a match to be pretty proud of (and you can't really say the same for Portugal), moreso because of how it breaks Dutch traditions than how it ended or played out.

Oy, show some decency for a broken man!
*shakes fist angrily*
I have to say tho' that, ignoring that it's at Holland's expense, I'm glad Portugal continued onward. It really means something for them to get this far, 'cause you usually don't, and that's great. I hate those "meh, another finals?"-people.

I'm inclined to agree with this. Portugal showed some poor moments and 'defective' players at times, though. Holland did really play more cohesively.
But we won, suckas!!!
Just kidding

I didn't read the previous posts but if you like Maniche you should see him before he transferred to Futebol Clube do Porto! He sucked!
Look at him now...
The best portuguese player is EMPLASTRO! I bet nobody knows who he is!

Tchyeah, I hope not. I don't Greece has what it takes to beat Portugal, but the Czechs do.
And quite frankly, say what you will of the Portuguese team, but they're not exactly charming. Not easy to cheer on for non-Portuguese.
Crappy game. Again. Absolutely hideous on the side of the Dutch, and relatively poor on the side of the Portuguese. If you have only the goalie standing in your way, you do not shoot right at the goalie. Tsch.
Ah well. I'm now cheering on Czech Republic, they deserve to win this tournament.

Nobody supports Portugal?
Sander, Pauleta isn't playing well give him a break
I like Helder Postiga much more than him and Nuno Gomes.
And Greece is losing this match against Czech Republic which will lose against Portugal (hopefully!)
Kharn, Portugal's the most charming team in the championship, every game's a true show! In fact, the 2 most charming teams are meeting today in the final. I think this as already been a true victory to Portgual, the whole championship has been absolutely amazing!

Yes, the two most charming teams are meeting today. You're right there. Those teams would be the Czech Republic and Greece.
The thought of finding that arrogant Ronaldo charming amuses me, tho'. If you drop your national bias, you'll realise Portugal is the replacement for Italy on this Championship in arrogance. But on the other hand, they're the underdog, and people do like the underdog.

Whahahahahahaha eheheeh teeheee!
C'mon, tell us another one.
I've had a pretty bad day. My discman stopped working (just like that), I failed to find a part-time job again, almost trashed the car and behaved like a complete dick on the road without even knowing.
Therefore, in tune with the rest of the day, I think we're going to lose.
On penalties, if possible.

I meant Portugal and Czech Republic, the 2 most charming teams meeting in the final
and a completely neutral opinion: I don't think Portugal and the Czech Republic are the best teams in the world, but they were those who played better in the whole championship.Italy hasn't been replaced as the most arrogant team, they're still #1 in arrogance
And Greece IS losing against the Czech Republic. You can all call me what you want if this doesn't happen (just be gentle if Greece wins).
In my opinion, and you can laugh out loud
, Greece has a really stupid (however effective) playing style. They score a goal then completely lock themselves in the box and try to counter attack when possible. Greece had all the merit beating Portugal (even though Scolari showed his tactic to the press and Greece's manager didn't), but if Greece does meet Portugal in the final I say the result is 3-0 to Portugal! Again, call me what you want if Greece beats the Czech Republic
