End of the road for Portugal :'(

Terrible, terrible defending has ended Portugal's hope for their first ever major trophy in international competitions. They played fairly well. But a couple of slip-ups in their markings of set-piece situations has led Germany to win 3-2 in the first quarter-final game of Euro 2008. With a team like them, I expected way much more than what they showed. Germany's 2nd and 3rd goals were pure bad defending. Free headers from similar set pieces.

With Portugal out, that means there's only 1 United man left in the competition, Edwin van der Sar. The Holland captain should be able to lead his team to glory. They're top of Group C with 9 points and 9 goals out of 3 games.

Anyways, Portugal's out that means Cristiano Ronaldo is now free to talk about his future. Please just don't do anything stupid!
