Euro 2008 he did nothing, really. There have been at least five players who have had a better tournament. He was a flash in the pan. He's good, but he's not the best in the world, let's be serious.

I probably don't know Zico? I probably know more about football than anyone on this site, I go to games every single week, I have travelled abroad for games, and have done for a bulk of my life. Let's not go trying to demean my knowledge because you wrongly disagree on C. Ronaldo being a striker.

The job of a winger is actually to assist the forwards.

Firstly, I'm sorry if you thought it was like an offensive statement, but I said you probably didn't knew Zico because I didn't know he was a really famous player outside of Brazil, like Pelé is... But I'm glad to know that you know him, and I wasn't misjudging you... So as you know him, you know it's true what I said...
I think C. Ronaldo is the best player because I identify myself with his football style on the field, but for sure there are others players that can at anytime play better than him... I said he was the best player in the world because of his last season, as he won the Premier League and the UEFA...
And I understand what is the job of a winger, but I'm trying to tell you that positions can't be so restricted like that, because in the modern football you have to do everything, as there are RBs that score goals and great forwards that give assists... I said Ronaldo was a winger because I think he can play better on this place of the field, coming from the midfield and the flanks...

Yeah, I don't even know why they call American Football, Football. The only foot-to-ball action is when your punting or kicking. They could have called it..Handball...or something.

Oh what are you on about? Do you even watch football? Germany were the MUCH better team. Portugal didn't "dominate" anything but the beginning of the second half and the end of the game. Germany controlled it.

Ricardo is not a bad keeper, he's one of the best penalty savers in the world and one of the best reflex keepers. It's not his fault that his team can't defend for shit, except for Carvalho.

Ronaldo is a striker, he's not a "winger". He's a striker that gets striker's goals and striker's possession. Even for Man Utd people say he's a winger, and he's not. He's a striker. If he IS a winger, he's a shit winger, because he doesn't have any real assists to his name.

Germany controlled it? Germany hardly got any attack plays and the ones they did they scored. Portugal started the game much better but got caught offguard with the two sudden goals. Ah,it's like I always say Portugal starts with nitro and quickly it runs off.

Ronaldo is a striker, now that you mention it. He doesn't realy like assisting that much,does he?

I don't agree Ricardo has good reflexes. He has average reflexes and he's terrible at corners. Only merit I can give him is defending long shots and set pieces (Excluding corners

). But are you kidding me? Carvalho and Pepe are a team of central defenders that have potential to be considered one of the best, the defense isn't bad. Well,Paulo Ferreira is the only one pretty crappy.

The defending on Germany's second and third goals was shocking. I could have done better.

True.

Ah,let them try again next World cup just to get their hopes crushed.

The Netherlands just didn´t play good if you look at their other matches they were very different. Maybe because the kid of Boularouz died.

Norrin Radd · 06-29-2008, 05:34 PM

10 men didn't play well because one of their kids died?

Don't buy it, sorry.
