We have no real forward players. Dempsey isnt a lone striker. It was a really defensive and negative formation and 11 men.
Meireles going down holding his face trying to get Beckerman sent off, cos we just haven't seen enough of that so far in this tournament. The worst bit is when the incident passes and they realise they've failed to get anyone sent off so they have to sheepishly maintain the act of being in pain for a bit, and they start feeling their head before checking their hands for blood.
How much would Michael Bradley set us back if we were interested? He looks like a handy midfielder. I know he didn't pull up any trees at Villa, but he looks decent tonight. Think Toronto paid $10m for him.
Wanted to watch this one, thought its be a gung ho cracker of a performance from Portugal after that Germany result. Too tired though
The more times I see that goal replayed the worse it looks for Howard. Obviously you don't expect him to save it easily but he should have been out to Nani instead of standing on his line letting him control it, then he puts his weight down to dive early, clearly regrets it and changes his mind when it's too late and he's already halfway down and ends up laid on the floor. Nani has almost the full goal to aim at by the time he shoots.
Would probably cost us 20 million and 120 thousand pounds a week in wages. He is on a long contract and is making 100 thousand a week right now. The conversion would make it less than 100 thousand but no way would he come over unless he was getting a significant raise to make up for lost endorsement deals.
What a save from Tim Howard. People shout about goals scored - that save was as good as a goal - brilliant.
Why does everyone get on Ronaldo's back? We all know he's a cocky twat but he works hard, there's a reason he's the best player on the planet.
