Portugal Puts The Heat On Early…
…with a goal in the 24th minute against the Netherlands. Three of the eight quarterfinals teams of the 2006 World Cup are set, with Germany facing Argentina and England getting the winner of this match – the Netherlands is certainly capable of coming back…
UPDATE 2:48 p.m.: 1-0 at the half, but the Netherlands will play up a man in half number two…
UPDATE 3:25 p.m.: 10 on 10 now – it’s not looking good for the Netherlands…
UPDATE 3:33 p.m.: Well, a bit of ugliness here…not the height of sportsmanship in this match…This is a poorly, poorly refereed match, and the players frustrations combined with horrendous calls have made this match a real blotch on the Cup…
UPDATE 3:57 p.m.: Well, that’s it, then, 4 of the final 8 – Portugal moves on as an ugly match ends…
Holland’s been on the defensive too much. They’re finally starting to have some offense. Oh, just missed…
I’m calling it now.
Portugal takes it all…or at leat gets to the finals.
If Bruce watched Big Phil too long, he’d go blind.
Well, that’s a bold call, with two Portugese stars out for the next match (and maybe three)…
Big Phil.
There’s a reason he was sought by the UK national team.
He has a history of making the finals, and without stars.
Just two more games baby-for the finals that is…
They get england saturday…or is it my friday?
I got time.
I think it’s Saturday…
