I guess Christiano Ronaldo was tired of seeing Nani doing crap on the right wing.
Anyway, it's a stay of execution for Portugal, because with Nani missing 90% of what he does, the 3rd choice Eder scared of being here and missing 90% of what he does and an off-color Ronaldo who can't get a clean pass from them and see them waste his clean passes, the offensive production is minimal. They have 5 days to make a Varela-Ronaldo-Eder trio work in training or it's good-bye.

Too many good matches. Credit USA, thought you were going to be reamed after it was 1-0. Oh well! No predictions possible for the outcome of this group, other than PT have the toughest job.
That's Nani! 90% combination of flopping, fuck ups, decision making disasters and terribad crossing. But then he'll still nick a goal or an assist, just typical. Still waiting for him to 'mature'

West Germany 1??"0 Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
And yes it is against the rules.
There was also in an Euro (?) a match were both teams (from nothern europe) could go through only if they ended with 4-4 and I let you guess how it ended... I remember seeing that match and it looking legit though.
EDIT: Euro 2004, Danemark vs Sweden, and 2-2. It eliminated Italy, so all was well

I feel like I'd actually be less mad if it had ended 1-0. I just can't believe they let that happen.

Even the wildest most retarded optimist would not have predicted the USA to be at 4 points after the first two matches. So much credit and vindication to Herr Klinsmann and these players. Portugal will beat Ghana, and as long as the US or Ghana doesn't get blown out, the US will advance. And no one on Earth predicted that.
Yeah, Ronaldo sucks. The US let that happen...

I watched that game. Sweden got a late equaliser in the 89th minute.. That game did not look fixed at all from what I remember.West Germany 1??"0 Austria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A draw isn't bad, and before the match I think most people would have taken it, but given they were a minute from winning and guaranteed progress to the next round, it's a kick in the nuts and feels like a loss
