Second Round- Portugal vs Holland

[IloveGilly]

The ranking system isn't really accurate at all for tipping who will win. Football is never a 1 sided game. NEVER.

i have to say holland to win this they look very strong in defense and they can catch out protugal on the counter

 

[icyman]

Mexico is a quality side, who are ranked 4th and are definately better than S&M and Ivory Coast.

Maybe better than S&M

But ,by far i was impressed by Ivory Coast.
They really looked like a good side.

I think it will be a keenly contested match with the Netherlands going through.Robben and Persie along with Van der Sar as the keeper.
Philip Cocu will return for this match. :happy

This is gonna be a great game. Usually i would say Holland, but Holland have a very inexperienced side compared to Portugals with Figo & Pauleta, wheresas Holland got rid of Kluivert, Seedorf and soe other inpexerienced players.

 

[Gyaan_Guru]

I would say a 2-1 win for Portugal.Holland havent been playing that well while Portugal are in form and with the likes of Ronaldo,Figo,Pauleta,Deco,Maniche and even Simao Sabrosa Portugal should win this one.

 

[icyman]

1-0 to Holland.
or I hope so it is that way.

 

[aussie1st]

It's 1-0 Portugal with quite a few yellow cards in the game.

I'm not actually watching this but my brother is a very passionate Holland supporter and he's been going ballistic since they had someone sent off, I don't know why, he clearly elbowed him and even if it wasn't intentional its a red card nowadays.

 

[BigCrickNan]

He didn't really elbow him, it was an unintentional amr that caught him in the face. Figo played for it.

Deco booked now, the game is really overheating after a bad foul from Deco.

 

[RabbleRouser]

Deco off now what a plonker, i'm guessing theres going to be another brawl very soon

 

[aussie1st]

A 4th send off! Playing well into injury time here.
Full time Portugal through but with 2 Reds and Ronaldo injuried.

 

[RabbleRouser]

Portugal will be seriously weakend vs England, lets hope we can take advantage of that.

you dont know if his injured yet. just looks to me he picked up a knock

his got a week to recover should be fine

 

[m_vaughan]

Well atleast Luck seems to be on England's side.

Nasty game though, and once again, too many sending offs. Portugal deserve to win although I thought these two teams are too good to have to play each other in the second round. Would have been a lot fairer if it was a QF or SF clash.

Oh my God what a Battlefield! . This was a very very good battle i liked how they kicked each other . Did yo see when Deco foult that guy and was trying to pick him up the Holland guy came and pushed Deco and started a fight! Damn i just love these fights great! . Wasnt really a match. was a battlefield and both teams played very bad but i think all of them can get a place in kick boxing and WWE
