An adventure game is nothing more than a good story set with engaging puzzles that fit seamlessly in with the story and the characters, and looks and sounds beautiful.

We actually won a game in the 90min and are going to the final!!!!!!!
Good game, defense was solid even without Pepe, midfield also controlled things for most of the game and actually to score goals in a couple of chances. Wales was definitely missing Ramsey, still Bale managed to get some scary outside shots.

I agree that Wales was missing Ramsey. Bale seemed to be entirely without backup and neither Robson-Kanu and Vokes looked stranded.
Wales did seem to be in control at one point in the first half, though.

Portugal did ok without Pepe. And Ronaldo’s free kick was probably his best of the tournament so far (still not a good one, though).

Portugal beats Not-Belgium ( Grin ) and is through to the final.


Wilco, no offense, but tonight’s match is imo what the final should be and I think that whoever wins tonight wins the tournament. I just don’t see Portugal beating either France or Germany.

By quality of the football I would say Germany-Italy was the real final. France didn’t impress very much until the Iceland battering. Portugal had a coach that knew what he was doing and that helped a lot, and of course, some luck is always involved.

As for the final, no doubt we will be an underdog with not much chance, with Germany or France. Even the track record is terrible against both teams in tournaments. Completely different scenario from our only final 12 years ago against Greece.

Apart from their first match against us, Italy hadn’t been that impressive either. And neither is Germany, to be fair.

Anyway, the Germany-Italy match was more interesting for football coaches and analysts, than it was for actual football fans, imo.

Portugal had a coach that knew what he was doing and that helped a lot, and of course, some luck is always involved.

Given your European Championship track record of late, it can’t be all luck.

1996: Quarter-final
2000: Semi-final
2004: Final
2008: Quarter-final
2012: Semi-final
2016: Final

I see a pattern there. Expect a quarter-final in 4 years. Tongue

I tend to assume carelessness and blind trust into a not-so-reliable accountant in cases like this. I doubt it’s pure malice.

Nicolas Cage handled that well, imo. He pleaded guilty, got off with a HEFTY fine, and played any movie he could for a couple of years to pay off the fine and back taxes. I think he even went into therapy to curb his spending problems.
In contrast, Wesley Snipes pleaded not guilty, got thrown in jail and found himself without a career afterwards.

Messi blaming his father, could be the real culprit.
Should have opened them fake companies in tax haven like Caymanislands.

Money or babes is sumthing these lowlifes cant get enough of.
Messi caught for more money fraud.
Cr7 caught for more babe action fraud even though he had them irina thighs Tongue

Hope Africans win today, bets are on.

Edit

@tim

Wesley was outcast before that,

African, no pun intended, thats the way in hollywood.
He had attitude too.
Same reason of attitude apllies to Tim olyphant.
So its pr plus color issue.

Now that’s a cycle I wouldn’t mind to keep going (but with a final win Smile ). Unfortunately the World Cup record is more irregular. Still can’t complain because before 1996 Portugal only qualified to the World Cup and Euro once.
It’s because of a focus in the academy in 90’s that led to winning the World Cup under-21 twice (Figo generation). After this Euro there’s probablty going another restruturation like after 2006 since the team is getting old (mostly in the defense and attackers), Ronaldo will probably play the next World Cup and next Euro but not at the same level.
Btw, Ronaldo tied Platini for best scorer ever in Euro with 9 goals, not bad!
