Just after the interval after being bamboozled Freidrich pulled and tripped the Manchester United star to the ground — but that wasn't it. Not content with conceding the foul, the Hertha Berlin man cunningly trod on Ronaldo's outstretched right boot causing a great deal of wincing and ‘agony' to the Portuguese maestro Replays showed that Ronaldo faked the "foul" or "trodding on" by the German player. When is FIFO going to take action by reviewing the replays, particularly looking at serious foul play and dives not observed by the referee? Shame on you,

WORST FOUL

Step-over king Cristiano Ronaldo was always going to be on the receiving end of some physical treatment against the Germans and full-back Arne Freidrich didn’t disappoint him.

But, our team is developing (Quaresma, João Moutinho, Nani, Miguel Veloso, Hugo Almeida, Bruno Alves, Pelé, Pepe (will be the best), Bosingwa even Ronaldo, etc..) and in 2010 world cup, we will fight for the trophy!

Schweinsteiger has got to have some grudge against portugal though... Portugal definitely needs to play well more often, plus a striker and a left back. Actually, they (and the whole world) need some hitman of sorts to assassinate paulo ferreira (that one Jose Mourinho once said was the best defender in the world) It was a nive game, this is a nice website and uefa euro 2008 is being REALLY nice Lukas Podolski should only be allowed to play football in world cups or eurocups, otherwise he should be locked in a cage.

Simão - Atl. Madrid, Deco - Barcelona, Moutinho - SCP, Nuno Gomes e Petit - Benfica, Pepe - R.Madrid, Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho - Chelsea, Nani - M.U., Bosingwa, Quaresma e Meireles - F.C.Porto,and on and on (all of them in titular players in top european clubs)... Some of them had a great night and are world class players... the only thing the germans are, in fact, superior, is in their size. Any way, luck is a part of the game, and it was on the german side... hope they can stick to it, they need it to face the netherlands... =) it’s also important that the tecnical value of portuguese players doesn´t get lost with the whole “ronaldo mania”.

(germany, of course, has a great team as well, but not better, just, perharps, luckyer.) who watched the whole game can confirm that portugal played better and fought harder, unfortunatly they commited 3 fatal errors. it's a shame that such a good team doesn't have a proper goalkeeper. it's also important to mention the red card that freidrich hasn't seen and the foul that ballack made to reach the ball on the third goal... portugal played way better, in fact, they were the best team on the competition, despite, maybe, netherlands.

Portugal's never been that good, and they never will! At least this shows Portuguese fans that they're wrong. Yes! Nobody save Ronaldo and Bosingwa played well today for Portugal, so it's their own doing. But, god! Yeahhhhhhh! Thank god! Portugal’s never been that good, and they never will!
