Where did you watch the game?
I watched the game just in our hospitality area at the track because our race was finished around 2:35 and we watched the game at 3 o’clock. I watched the game with some Portuguese people, of course, because Tiago (Monteiro) is a team-mate of mine (at Minardi). So we […]

Scolari goes on with his Portugal, while van Basten and Holland imssed yet another chance to World Cup glory.

Luiz Felipe SCOLARI(POR)
I feel total happiness. What I saw today from this group of players hasn’t been seen in Portugal for many years. I have never seen anybody fight so much and do so much for Portugal. […]

After the massacre on the pitch, players talk what they felt during the game and after the game. The images with Deco and van Bronckhorst, both eliminated and talking calmly about the game were against everything that happened on the pitch that you could believe you just had a nightmare: 4 eliminations, players tackling eachother […]

A semi-surprise: Holland is eliminated and Portugal goes through to meet England in the last 8. Both teams played high quality football but at times the match seemed a corrida more than a game of football.
4 eliminations and a goal: this is how this match will remain in memory.
Anyway, Portugal has a big match ahead. […]

Portugal plays in 9 after Deco’s second yellow card. The referee seems to have the match out of his control. The players almost fight instead of playing football.

Boulahrouz out and they play 10 to 10 again. The spirits are tense and the players almnost started a fight. Anyway, Figo well deserved a red card for head punching, but he only received a yellow card.

Maniche scored at the end of a great team effort and puts his team one goal in front. Will the Dutch be able to come back?

First clash between titans, though finished a draw, Argentina - Holland was a good game to watch. More, you could see Lionel Messi in the first line-up for the first time at this World Cup.
