Klose went back to the bench, guess they don't need a goal anymore.

Wrapping your hands around a players neck is foolish.

Thats what I like about Boateng. He rather takes the card (whatever colour) than allow a combination of actions to enroll that result in a great chance. It has actually become a rare skill to foresee that kind of stuff.

Great block by Neuer, not only that but so quick back to his feet to chase down the loose ball.

Well, it's looking good for Portugal even if we don't come away with a win here. Some weird calls but nothing out of extraordinary. If we can keep this up against Denmark and the Netherlands, I like our chances.

Absolutely. I loved Ozil as well.
Looking good for RM 8-)

I wasn't talking about that challenge I was talking about the one where he slid and blocked ronaldo's shot on a one on one

It's ridiculous the players can go shoulder-to-shoulder now, and the one who hits the deck is rewarded with a free kick. It's like you-re not allowed to be stronger than your opponent any more.

saw a lot of that in club play this year, to the point that even penalties were awarded, which is disappointing.

Could have had a better result, but I hope we can keep this up against teams like Holland and Denmark.
