Not just at the back, thought the center forward they bought on to replace Postiga was one of the worst players I've seen this tournament.
Milner & Downing on the other hand are world class...
Read through the whole thread and tell me where I've lavished praise on any English player. For what it's worth I bet against them getting out of the group!

I have and you didn't.
Sound think I just misunderstood your point!
Thoughts for tonight? Can't see past Germany winning 2 or 3 - 0
What is wrong with the Portuguese players? Do they not watch the games back? Surely they'd realise their rolling around and screaming makes them look like utter cunts

Coentrão (Real Madrid),
Coentrão (Real Madrid), , my stand out player from Portugal , alright Ronaldo has all the flair , but the workload this guy gets through is incredible - Chelsea were in for him before Madrid , and how gutted i AM HE NEVER CAME ...
Funny how people say teams like Portugal are a one trick pony , yet are now in the Semi's , all about how the team as a whole performs .. I personally think Nani & Mereiles have been poor so far , but Pepe - who whenever I watch La Liga is on the verge of being sent off , has been controlled and very solid at the back ...

He was about to go off on one because he was left on the bench I guess.
Gone for a spain win and over 1.5 goals tomorrow at 1.8 and 1.5 respectively. Short odds but I can see a 2-1 win for the Spanish. The England game is a tougher one to decide IMO. On the one hand the Italians have been the better performers throughout the tournament but Hodgson seems really astute tactically, can see it being very close.

I think Ribery is overrated Steve, seems to be all about him but he doesn't seem to have the class to back it up.

short odds but well worth it. Got Italy to beat England tomorrow and more than 1.5 goals. 3.0 and 1.6. Still not sure if the Azzurri are up to it but at those odds it's hard to turn them down.
