!Undertaker!:
S?*?*?, what is this sport?!?!?!? Football Undertaker!

MadMonkey:
Sad news indeed, I use to see the game on Eurosport, and Paul Hunter was one of the players that I most like to see.

bouncybouncy:
LOL, What about Watford? Is that anything doing with your state of mind? ;-)

bouncybouncy: ????????????????
What is the score?

Pedro Martínez:
Never heard that a picture worth a thousand words? :-D

Pedro Martínez:
Well was evident that there was contact between the french defender and Ronaldo too. You want to go in that direction? I don't deny that Ricardo touch Henry, but He didn't fall because of that, he fell because he trip on the grass. And if you pay attention to your electronic zooming you can see that Henry was worried about the whistle because he thought he was getting a yellow card for tricking the referee, and bye bye final. Instead he won a penalty and the final to the World Cup.

Nevertheless I want to say that it was a very good match, and it wasn't for the referee that Portugal lost. Congrats to France and I wish they beat the Italians, because any team with Gatuso in it deserves to lose.

Walter Montego:
"And by the way, you should learn to spell better. Ghana is spelled like this. Sit in front of the tube watching the game and didn't even learn to spell the name of one of the teams? Why am I wasting my time?"

Well a typical american attitude, you should know that other cultures exists and Estados Unidos da America its another form to write USA. Gana its absolutely correct and you should loose some time in studying, before you start to complain...
Yeap world its not only America, thanks for that! :-)

Pedro Martínez:
Well funny draw to us Portuguese because we are going to be the godfather of the newcomer Angola. Which we were relately in the past. Just one wish that the last game between Portugal and Angola doesn't repeat it ever! The game didn't finish it because there wasn't enough Angola players.

Besides that a warning to the Czeck Republic, be careful with USA ;-) We weren't on our last world cup! :-(

So my favourites are:
A: Germany and Poland
B: England and Sweden
C: Argentia and Netherlands
D: Portugal and Mexico
E: Italy and Czeck Republic
F: Brazil and Australia
G: France and Switzerland
H: Spain and Ukraine

Hrqls:
He didn't even train!

Ok guess I'd better explain, Sporting was just an intermediate for Rijkaard transfer.

Hrqls:
Well last season was 3-0, this time I'll be happy if we won 2-0. ;-)

Thats the funny, Rijkaard didn't play but was on contract with Sporting, just before he went to Italy.

Hrqls:
It was no coicidence, I know its dutch! I have good dutch friends, because of Frisian Checkers and International ones. Yes dutch are the Best players! ;-)

Well Sporting had dutch football players, Rijkaard was one of that players believe it or not but never put the shirt on. HeHeHehehehe
The other one was Stan Valckx. Pretty good defender.

I better ignore Andre for meantime! :-)

Hrqls:
Hoi, no problem, hope everything is ok with you.

Yes Koeman won that game, but now we are first on championship again. :-D

I'm grumpy! Porto - 0 Benfica -2! But they deserve it, even in our bad bad bad moments of last year, I never had this nightmare! :-(

Hrqls:
They play tonight not yesterday, I will update you. Sorry you don't like Adriaanse, but I see you choose Alkmaar for your name team. So, I'm curious why you don't like him?
I must say I'm a supporter of FCPorto, still world champion of football not Soccer Andersp! (I understand that americans call it that, though I strongly disagree, but a european like you!??!?!... Tsss Tsss). So anyway Co its now trainer of my team so I hope they beat Koeman!
:-) POOOOOOOORTOOO

Ferjo:
Ok we lost 3-2 with 1 men injured, but congrats Rangers.

The most important European competition at club level its back! Starts today the groups stage. In about 15 minutes first game of FCPorto at Glasgow Rangers - FCPorto
POOOOOOOOOOORTOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Allez Porto Allez
Nós somos a tua voz
Queremos esta vitória
Conquista-a por nós

Czuch Chuckers:
Sure you can call it like you feel like it, but any similarity with football its pure coincidence! LOL

Czuch Chuckers:
No, guess again, thats American Rugby for us! Don't mix the word football in that!...

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Cause we are the champions of the World

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune
And everything that goes with it
I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before
The whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose

And we mean to go on and on and on and on

We are the champions - my friends
And we'll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
Cause we are the champions of the World

FCPorto - 8 Once Caldas - 7 After Penalty shoot out

Europeans Champions FC Porto (and my team) get their place in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League in thrilling style with victory against Chelsea FC, while Arsenal FC and Werder Bremen also ensured berths in the first knockout round.

GROUP E
Arsenal claimed top spot in Group E with a 5-1 triumph against Rosenborg BK. Arsenal and PSV finished level on ten points, but the London club took first place given their superior head-to-head record following a 1-0 win against the Dutch team. Well done Gunners and Electric team! :-)

GROUP F
AC Milan's 0-0 draw away to Celtic FC proved enough to win Group F. Milan and Barcelona were ensured qualification at kick-off.

GROUP G
Valencia CF and Bremen were competing to qualify along with FC Internazionale Milano, and it was the German champions, needing only a draw, who prevailed thanks to two late goals. Inter matched their Milanese rivals by winning the group.

GROUP H
On a night of high drama in this pool, European champions Porto joined group winners Chelsea in the first knockout round after coming from a goal down to beat the Londoners. Thanks to Benni McCarthy's (HEYYYYYYYYY BENNY) late strike in a 2-1 victory, Porto did not become the first holders to exit in the group stage (Thank God!). The result also meant heartbreak for PFC CSKA Moskva who were pushed into third despite beating Paris Saint-Germain FC 3-1 at the Parc des Princes with a Sergei Semak hat-trick - the Russian side were provisionally in second place until McCarthy's 86th-minute goal (YEAP, and we were out of Uefa too, when we were loosing...). CSKA at least qualify for the UEFA Cup, some reward for a battling performance that saw them score twice after being reduced to ten men by Deividas Semberas's 54th-minute dismissal (Unbelievable, anyone see the Paris match?). PSG - who held second position at kick-off.

Allez Porto Allez
Nós somos a tua voz
Queremos esta vitória
Conqistada por vós

Yes very doubtful indeed...

I suggest that you change the word moderator to referee! After all we are on Sports DB!
:-)))))))
I hope you don't show many red or Yellow cards!

Speaking of that, its official Arsenal finally lost a Premiership Game. Congrats Ronaldo and Rooney.
Sorry for the gunners... hey one day it has to happen...

Thanks footballgirl! :-)

This time in 1500 meters men's. Rui Silva ran an extraordinary last lap, from almost last place until reach the third place. Congrats Rui.

Sorry Andersp, I guess being an European has some advantages once in a while ;-)
Well even already know the resul I still recommend that you see the race.

I forgot to tell that the american Justin Gatlin won...

Today in Athens the race from most consider the Queen event of the games was a very fast race, with the Portuguese Francis beat the Europe record and earn Silver. 4 athlets were below 9.90, an extraordinary race. The others medals went for the americans. Looking forward the 200 meters the predilect event of the portuguese sprinter.

Well actually its a french who leads, but of course Lance is still the Nº 1 :-)

But for what is concern of me its the big help that the Portuguese Azevedo is giving to the American, well done José! :-))))

Thanks it was tottaly deserve!

PORTUGAL!
Todays the other semi-final its in my City Porto
Czech - Greece,
Well i'm going for the Czech, that will, I'm pretty sure, grow simpaty from the Hosts here ;-)

Ey! I'm not liking those guessings!.... :-]

So my guess is and i want a revolution of the no favourits

Celta Vigo (You see they are my neighbours!)
Estugarda (F. Meira plays for Estugarda)
FC Porto (No admit even discussions here)
Real Sociedad (The only Real which is going to get through)
Bayern Munich (They are going to be the surprise of this stage)
Sparta de Praga (And I think i'm going to have many Czech friends)
Juventus (Sorry Deportivo, the italians are too much defensive)
Monaco (In the begin of the season the french were broke, so they need the money to pay Principe Albert)

Well 93' minute, what a lucky team! I don't think i want to play against with such a lucky team... :-))))
But congratulations for geting through!

I want to congratulate all the teams that passed to the next phase, the best of luck for tomorrow, and looking for the games on the next phase in February, with the team that is going to be draw next Friday.
POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Today we make history! For the first time in the Portuguese Football, one Team has draw at Home of Real Madrid in Santiago Barnabéu Stadium. First Goal was from Real, but still in first part we draw with a penalty Kick from Derlei. In the Second Half the best chance was ours, again Derlei with the goal open, misses... :-( But Vitor Baia (Goal Keeper of Porto) did the best defense of the night! At the end and to the history
Real Madrid - 1 F C Porto - 1
