Euro: SF: Portugal vs. Wales, 7/6/2015

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Yesss

 

[Alex Jones]

Congrats Portugal wins the JV bracket.

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Aaron Ramsey's hair aside, he was a key part of the squad

 

[Ceremony]

They're going to get absolutely slapped about by Germany in the final, that should be quite funny.

 

[Shrimper]

Well it's done for sure.

****ing ******** team had to go through Croatia, Poland and a ****** Wales team. Snoozed their way in.

Not their fault that those opponents couldn't beat them.

Bit unfair to call those teams crap as well.

pls let this be true

You spelt France wrong.

 

[Suiteness]

Well it's done for sure.

Sorry, but Portugal is an awful team that lucked out in terms of falling in the right bracket. Imagine they had to go through England, France and Germany? Not a chance.

Croatia was the best team in the tournament in the first round

 

[Virtanen18]

France will run over this team in the finals after they annihilate Germany.

Croatia and Poland are very good teams.

Wales, an underrated team on HF, but they were pretty much winning their qualifying group up til the very end that included Belgium.

As I just said. Had they won they finished 2nd in their group, they would have faced England, France and Germany before reaching the finals. Had they finished 1st, they would have had to go through Belgium in the R16.

This garbage format saw them enter a bracket as a 3rd place team where they've had the easiest road to the finals.

 

[Cassano]

Croatia has the best midfield in the world. Poland is better than England too imo.

 

[Just Win]

Nice try.

 

[Jussi]

You spelt France wrong.

You forgot France have to play Germany before that, a team they always lose to.

 

[Power Man]

You forgot France have to play Germany before that, a team they always lose to.

There is a 1st for everything as we recently saw with Germany vs Italy

And Hummels, Gomez and Sami are out, huge losses imo

 

[Alex Jones]

Croatia has the best midfield in the world. Poland is better than England too imo.

Yea but Croatia didn't really play to the way you would expect.

 

[SenorDingDong]

All other teams in this Euro (aside from maybe Sweden) were better then England.

 

[Cassano]

Yea but Croatia didn't really play to the way you would expect.

That's pretty much all teams this tournament. Italy and Iceland excluded.

Except England. They went out as we expected.

A part of the blame belongs to Spain and England who bottled their group though.

Had they finished 2nd they would have faced 3rd, 1st and 1st in their respective groups.

As it is, they've faced 1st, 2nd and 1st in their respective. It is a different way of looking at it, but those are the teams they have faced and where they finished.

 

[Power Man]

No one to get the ball to Bale

Are Bale's other teammates that bad they can't pass him the ball?

 

[Live in the Now]

Portugal advanced, doesn't really matter how they got to the Final.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Are Bale's other teammates that bad they can't pass him the ball?

They certainly aren't as creative as Ramsey. They also don't draw defenders as Ramsey do. Ramsey in = more space and better service for Bale. It makes quite the difference.

 

[Cassano]

Are Bale's other teammates that bad they can't pass him the ball?

Pretty much, yeah.
