Do you remember Michael Woods? I thought he will make it..

I do. He plays in the League Two now altough he was very promising.

Portugal have developed a tendency to flop against the lesser sides in recent years - Macedonia, Gabon, Ecuador, Albania, Northern Ireland to name a few.

Netherlands against Iceland, Turkey. Germany against Ireland, Poland. Italy against Bulgaria. Football can be truly unpredictable at times...

Indeed but Portugal seem to be more 'unpredictable' than the others.

Don't be silly, Portugal are absolutely horrible. Outside of Ronaldo, Moutinho and Pepe; Portugal have the squad of bottom quater team.

Well Portugal aren't exactly a great team, they're definitely not in the same level as Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, etc. Yes they got Ronaldo and Moutinho, but rest team is average. They are as dependent on Ronaldo as Wales are dependent on Bale. Portugal were great from 2004-2012 however.

Yeah but one would still expect them to beat those teams mentioned above.

A question for the Belgian members, do people at your country actually like how the points cut in half in this time of the season? is there any criticism about this system?

Imo its horrible and unfair. The Israeli league tried it in one season, 09/10. The winners finished second in the regular seaons, and until now everyone remembers it as a "meh" title, like they shouldnt have won it.

I think it happend last season in Belgium too, with the maniac Guy Luzon.

Actually, i hate it and so do a lot of belgians. Even the players hate it. Its all about revenue and money. They should just eliminate that afwul system. Now the team that gets in form for play off 1 nearly always wins - you just have to do damage control in the regular competition, get into Play Off 1 and peak right at the end.

Its horrible. Maybe it can level out one horse competitions though, they should try it in Germany, lol.

A first for UEFA. A match to be replayed from the exact point of a bad refereeing decision

Right lets go back to the Ovrebo incident.......

It's pretty humiliating, especially in women football. They've been trying so hard to be taken seriously and now the world will laugh about this.

Theres a bigger point in that it may set a precedent

Do you think UEFA would do the same if a thing like this happened in an professional adult men game? Champions League for example. I'm not sure.

It's not like I would mind it. If a referee maked such a big mistake they should correct it. Still, I can't see CL or WC matches would be ever replayed like this woman game.

It's not like it's only the British that are hyping Kane. Just come off a Braca forum where they're creaming over him.

No wonder if they dont hear the end of "Hurikane" from english media.
