That Willelms is shit how is he the Dutch starting left back? He can't keep the ball and doesn't know where to stand. The dutch team didn't seem to know what they were doing this game, too many attacking players but nobody to control the middle of the pitch or supply all the players upfront. Bringing on Affelay for Willelms was a strange decision I know the kid is shit but bringing on a forward for the left back toppled an already unbalanced side.

Ronaldo played well today but i still think he is overrated, especially his speed he's not half as fast as people think.

Before you judge sth, keep in mind that the less you know about sth, the more that what you think or pretend to know about it, it says about yourself and your environment.

Let me just start my post by saying that I don't like Cristiano Ronaldo very much, but that last sentence is just Wrong. Cristiano Ronaldo is the fastest active football player without the ball!
He's a perfect athlete..

Must say that Netherlands needs a boost in the defensive field :S

Portugal played really well, special note for Pepe in the defense, A true giant, Nani in the the transitions, and today C.Ronaldo was almost a Striker... beautiful game by Portugal
Grubby fighting!!!

First off i dont like Ronaldo much. Ronaldo scored over 50 goals this season for his club, I would not call that overrated.

And yes Willems is not good enough yet, but he is only 18 so there is time to improve.

I guess that's the part about
fastest active football player without the ball!


Walcott sure can sprint with a ball - but without I've no idea if Ronaldo can outrun him. And even if Walcott was still faster. Ronaldo is still in the very top of how fast players can run

That was a big morale booster. Relative international unknowns like Custódio, João Pereira, Miguel Veloso and Moutinho played superbly. I used to really dislike João Pereira in the beginning of his career but he has really matured.

Great too that Ronaldo is back to his usual self. Looking forward to the next game.

(Fun fact: Last 9 matches between Netherlands and Portugal: 3 ties, 6 wins for Portugal.)

I think the problem is that they have too many of those players that have a huge ego and want to be the star/key player. What Holland lacks is a team or at least players that try to play as a team.


Yeah, you could see after 30 minutes that they all hated each other too. Some of the looks Robben was shooting his teammates were pretty brutal

Muoutinho, Pereira and Veloso are pretty well known :O.

Well not compared to Ronaldo ..But thats just another reason why international tournaments are awesome.

In the sense that they haven't played for top tier teams outside Portugal and have never achieved much recognition internationally apart from Veloso and Moutinho being promising prospects early in their careers. I wasn't expecting much from them, especially Miguel Veloso and João Pereira but I'm glad to be wrong.

Totally forgot about the EC threads :p
But if people read my older posts then this was expected months ago. People outside Holland might be surprised but most people that follow Dutch football expected this for quite a while. Almost the entire team is not in shape / injured almost an entire season and they were boasting that they would be a big favorite for the title. I laughed hard and today people are surprised that they are out.

I'm a big fan of Holland and I'm very passionate about our team normally and have had great expectations past 14 years but this time I was expecting Holland to disappoint greatly and they've proven me right and now I'm not really sad like I normally am when Holland gets kicked out of the tournament.

I think of Ronaldo and Messi as Jaedong and Flash, I think the comparison has a lot of mileage.

Even Jaedong fans admit Flash is better due to inherent race advantage. :D

All this being a team bullshit. You play together you all want to win even if you dislike someone personally it shouldn't matter because they're the Players who will have to help you winning the cup. Just hate the other guys guts as long as you play well nobody will give a damn.

my point is that they are both so insanely far out ahead of everyone else, it may be possible to say one is better than the other but it doesn't really matter because both of them light up the game more regularly and spectacularly than anyone else playing right now.
