HAHAHA.. where do i come off thinking Portugal is all high and mighty.. well because i can.. Portugal has done poorly in the past.. and well god damnit I AM PORTUGUESE and i see them doing fucking good this yr.. i will ALWAYS stand behind Brasil.. they have been my team besides Portugal since i was alittle girl.. Watching Italy vs. Brasil in finals in 1994 was heaven for me.. PORTUGAL is MY team.. and i will STAND behind them 100%.. so dont fucking go and ask me why i think they are high and mighty.. cuz really.. if ur countries team was in the top 16.. then u'd do the same.. so shut the fuck up. :)

again i haven't really heard anything about why exactly england is overrated?
ideally, they are not performing on the offensive as well as they should be, but they're still winning their games and have a solid defensive system going on. If a team was 'overrated' then they would have a shitload of hype on them but lose their matches.

Germany is always ranked too low. italy is always ranked too high.. prima donna faggots...
Germany will win it all. On a side note, how about the Ukraine! Taking out the Swiss in penalties. Wow, I was standing yelling at the t.v half the game, slow game, couple scares... but my boys pulled through. Those pussy assed waps are next to die by the Ukraine's prowess.

do i really need to say why they are over rated?
number 1 - Beckham.. 'nuff said.. im not saying he's NOT good.. but he was better back in the day.. now he's over rated.. seriously. number 2 - England has good players.. but with all their success it has gotten to their heads and there for has made their playing ability not quite up to par --- how is Portugal over rated? all i ever hear is people hating on them.. Italy is more over rated then Portugal.. nice try with the come back though.. but trying to tell me that Portugal is as over rated as England is a laugh.. the only reason Portugal may be over rated is because of C.Ronaldo.. and thats becuz little girls think he's hawt and thats the only reason why they watch Portugal play.. other then that.. everyone doubts Portugal.. so again.. HOW ARE WE OVER RATED? other then the fact of C.Ronaldo.. we cant help that Portuguese people are good looking :kimmie: hahahahha jp :p

England DOES have a shit load of hype put onto their team.. sure they aren't LOSING.. but they aren't playing that well either.. with all their hype, and good players.. u'd think they would do better.. it took all of Beckhams effort to get him to score a goal.. with all the HYPE surrounding England u would think they wouldve done better.... i didnt mind England.. until Euro cup.. with all the HYPE they had.. EVERYONE dissing Portugal saying we would lose.. blah blah blah.. AND WE DIDNT.. and the hype was still all about England.. people hating on Portugal becuz we won.. SORE LOSERS?! it was a good game.. i dont doubt that. but the thing is.. Portugal this year is a better team then they were at Euro Cup.. and England isnt playing as good as they were at Euro.. so its a toss up now because of Portugal having so many cards.. if we didnt have those cards, we would kill England.. based on the way England has been playing.. compared to how Portugal has been playing.. but now, we'll jus ahve to wait and see til the game starts to see how well England will do or how well Portugal will do.

Thats a load of crap... simple as that England hasn't played any real powerfull teams yet and they have just played to theire opponents level.
Portugal really hasn't played any powerfull teams till the Netherlands either and they only squeaked by them with some very underhanded play. Would you really be surprised to see Figo gone from the next game for the headbutt in the second half??

So here we go... I'll start with the obvious, Sir Beckham of Beckingham. I've always felt Beckham has been vastly overrated. The only one that matters on the field when he's out there is him. He's a fairly one dimensional player, he takes dead balls well. That's about it. Every challenge I've seen him take this cup he's been outmanned. His defensive play has been lack luster to say the least. I'd hardly call him a driving force in the midfield, which consiquently success or doom for a club. Next up, Wayne "GOD I LOVE HOOKERS" Rooney. There is no doubt that Rooney can be a make or break player at times. The problem is that he's a head fuck. Rooney loses his composure at the drop of a hat (probably one of the reasons the brit fans love him so much). Once he loses focus it's very hard for him to gain it back. Not to a great characteristic to have in match play like this. Another thing is HE'S STILL INJURED!!! We're talking coming off an injury that usually takes 8 weeks to heal. A prime example would be Michael Owen who had a similiar injury and took nearly that long to recover, and is still looking to regain his touch since. As much as it's pumping up the Brits to have him in the line up, you're not going to see any of that RUGBY-ESQUE gameplay that Rooney is so well known for. I don't care what anyone says, Eriksson isn't the one that should be leading these players into battle. Soccer is one of those sports where a coach can elevate his players gameplay far beyond their own abilities. Eriksson isn't the man to do that. His international record isn't the best, and a lot of his calls international play have been suspect. I feel the only ones out on the pitch that are really showing any brief displays of true effort and talent are the Coles aka. "EBONY AND IVORY" and the spottings of the Liverpool men on the pitch. Where the rest of the team have been slacking, these guys have picked up. Overall Britains international record is pretty spotted. They tend to not become a cohesive unit, which is pretty much a necessity for any team to strive in the late stages of a tourney like the world cup. When it comes to matchplay like this they like to choke. I'm sorry to tell all you British fans out there... ENGLAND IS NOT THE WORLD DOMINATING FORCE YOU THINK THEY ARE.

I don't think they're a world dominating force, I'm just cheering for them. And I wasn't really directing my comments at you, seeing as how you hadn't posted anything regarding that. I know you definitely know what you are talking about and you wouldn't post something like that without backing it up.

germany hasn't played a good team yet. certainly not a powerhouse in any fashion. oooh they beat an ecuador squad resting 5 guys. or a swedish squad that underperformed and had minimal offensive anything. not to mention that the german defence has been very suspect. and brazil? also, are you watching the same WC as everyone else? they have looked anything except invincible. the only team that has truly impressed is argentina. they have been exactly as billed. dangerous.
