Portugal are cheating already. That was a definite handball and should have resulted in a penalty!!:angry:

^ I didn't think he meant it. Though I didn't see it properly.

He did - the replay showed he stuck his arm out.;)

True, just saw it again.

 

Nice, open game so far. Good to see.

But Portugal's cheating tactics aren't. There was a second handball and then Ronaldo did one of his famous "dives" just before half-time. Disgraceful!:angry:

Yeah, he did that just as I was posting :lol:

Yes, I agree. Portugal players are cheating a lot. But seriously though... which teams don't cheat?

I just don't understand one thing. Why do everyone keep calling names and offending the team? Did any of the players offended any of your teams?

I just don't get that.

 

Maybe some of you are jealous, I don't know.

 

Truth is, Portugal is the smaller country in all aspects and look where we are. So I think we, at least, deserve some respect.

 

This is my opinion and I'm not here to cause any conflict. So I'm sorry if I offended any of you.

You're biased, because you're from Portugal. It's only natural that you can't be objective about this.

Everyone can see that Portugal are cheating far more than the other teams. There have already been two handballs and a couple of Ronaldo "dives" in THIS game.

I think Scolari is a big cause of this, because he appears to condone the bad behaviour.

Jealousy doesn't come into it. I'd rather my team be out than acting like the Portugal players!;)

Stop press: Dive number THREE from Ronaldo!;)

You have your opinion, I have mine.

 

Do you think we have reached this far because of the cheating? What about the goals? They don't mean nothing?

 

Yes, I don't agree with some of the immature players we have like Ronaldo. He still needs to grow up. He still has a lot to learn.

But I think you are pushing this a little to far. So far, I've seen tons of threads and posts bashing Portugal.

Of course, I'm biased. But when I see some players doing worse things I don't call names or offend anybody. I give my opinion with respect.

And we're not getting that.

 

That's all. End of conversation for me.

Goal for Germany!!:D

Yessss 1:0 for Germany :P

Yaaaaaaay a second goal for Germany, woohooo :D :D

The reason there are tons of "Portugal bashing" threads is because there's no smoke without fire......................... Portugal have spoiled their good play with their cheating tactics.

Anyway, it's 2-0 now, so it's game over. Justice has been done!;)

We are not offending Portugal. We are not jealous. We don't say that the Portuguese team is the only team cheating. We don't say that Ronaldo is the only player diving.

 

But we say that Portugal and especially Cristiano Ronaldo have attracted A LOT OF attention because of constant diving and cheating and it got to its highlight with the Rooney incident - not just the red card and pushing, but Ronaldo's WINKING! Because Ronaldo winking doesn't only show that Ronaldo is a diver, it means that the whole team is! It's totally natural that you defend your team, I'd do the same! But you shouldn't accuse us of being jealous or mean or whatever - you just say these things because you wanna blame someone else than your team. There must be a REASON for so many people to "offend" your team and Ronaldo. And there IS a reason, no matter if you deny it or not.

 

And Portugal isn't the only team to be offended by the media or fans or whatever, that's bullshit! Lots of players, referees and teams have been criticised throughout the tournament, and I guess the only reason that it's (still) this hard against Portugal is the fact that they're still in the tournament playing their last game and the fact that Ronaldo got that much media attention.

Hahaaaa third goal :D

3:0 for Germany .. alright I guess it's over now :P

And Schweinsteiger AGAIN, that's unbelievable!!

WAOWWW!!! He has a picture of an english player ans he is happy about the german victory! This is fait play, cool! :smug:

Yeah, well, I do support a lot of teams - my heart is with England, but there are some teams that deserve it as well :)

 

3:1 now, but I guess it's over anyway ;)

I'm glad that Figo got his last big moment, you know, scoring a goal before ending his career :) That's fair!
