Who were we at COTAH to tell the big dodgy German ‘keeper when to bathe. Stop the taps! Put away the soap! Return those flip-flops to your locker Jens, ‘cos the German’s march on!
A thoroughly deserved win against a Portugal side that only got going when provoked. Interesting to note that the majority of the Portugese starting XI were coming off of a 8-day rest. The Germans played only 72hours earlier than today.
Ronaldo was not a factor, although he rarely received a decent early pass when he was trying to get the play going. Ricardo was a joke. In short, the Portugese were a pushover, literally (see Ballack’s version of the gentle touch, below).
Sure, they put the Germans thru the mangle for the last ten minutes, but don’t turn up late for the dance lads ‘cos your bird’s most likely already left with your best mate.
The German’s advance (insert your own trite joke here), the Portugese go home.
I’m off to scrub Jen’s back …

The Euro’s proved that Ronaldo is truly deserving of the title Galaticos: theatrics, poor marking and the subsequent finger pointing. Ronaldo might have struck a decent dead ball if Simão wasn’t haggling him all tournament.
P.S.
Ricky Ricardo, thanks for the laugh.

The biggest disappointment of the Portugal – Germany game is that Ronaldo didn’t cry at the end. I was really hoping to see that.
The German team always amazes me–even when it looks like they don’t have the best squad in the tournament, they end up finding a way to advance. Is there any doubt that they will be in the final a week from Sunday?
