Andre Faria: If I was on the pitch, after seeing what happened to Ronaldo, I would try to injure the first dutch player who would appear in front of me. It´s human.

No, it's not human. It's bestial. Or should I say Portuguese?

It was premeditated, Van Basten orders were to injure Ronaldo on the first minutes of the game.

Prove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You´re saying that because it was not your team.

No, I'm not. A Czech defender named Řepka, who had been a regular member of the Czech national team, brutally tackled one of the other team's players and the whole nation condemned him for that. The coach has never called him back to the national team because we don't want players like that in our team. But we're probably different.

Pedro Martínez: yes, it´s human. Due to all emotions involved in such games... Happens in every team once in a while.

It´s portuguese? Did you know that in 4 years it was our first red card? Why don´tt people talk about that. We hardly have seen yellow cards, and not a single red card in 4 years. But our well known players (Figo, Ronaldo, Simão, Deco, ...) ytoo often suffers brutal tackles. Is this fair?

I don´t need to prove anything. Just watch the first 6 minutes of the match and take your conclusions...

Andre Faria: I'm just glad Portugal won the game. I can't imagine what crybabies you'd be if you lost. Ronaldo got hurt! They didn't give us the ball!
If you think Figo's and Deco's reactions were appropriate, you're crazy in my book.
Now tell me something: if Boulahrouz was sent off, your players would not "unleash hell"? If so, I don't get it. If they avenged on the Dutch players for the tackle on Ronaldo, they'd have to do so even if Boulahrouz was sent off. If they avenged on the Dutch players for the wrong call from Ivanov, wasn't that a bit unfair? Shouldn't it have been the referee who they should have taken revenge upon?

Pedro Martínez: Maybe.

That why I think it was the referee who ruined the match, not the dutch players. They were doing their game. But, maybe, just maybe, if the referee would take the correct decision which would have been sending off Boulahrouz, maybe the match would have been fair. But the referee was afraid of sending off a player at minute 6 and he didn´t apllied the basic rules...

And as I said, I would like to see how would you react having one of your best players injured at minute 6 and seeing it was premeditated...

Andre Faria: boulahrouz was bad .. very bad .. i wonder why he did it .. no reason can be enough for such an action

he should have been sent of for sure

the second foul on ronaldo wasnt as bad ... it was a foul you see in most matches and a free kick would be given for it .. not even a yellow card

i am ashamed mostly because of the 'revenge' actions of all players that were involved in such actions .. revenge is ok .. but do it in the sport itself .. not on the man .. be grown up .. and professional enough to use the game to take revenge ..

it wasnt a professional match .. it was a match which you could see at the lower classes of amateur soccer
