Germany 3, Portugal 2: Dutch Say Bring on the Germans!
The first quarterfinal match of Euro Cup 2008 is complete and all is well in land of schnitzels, brats and very large beers. The Germans shockingly jumped up 2-0 in only the 26th minute and despite a solid Portugal effort to come back, it was to no avail.
Portugal was able to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 42nd minute, but Germany extended the lead to 3-1 in the 62nd minute. Portugal scored a dramatic goal in the 87th minute to make the ending a nail biter, but the Germans held on.
The nice thing about Portugal’s exit from the tournament is that I won’t have to see Cristiano Ronaldo’s retarded mullet anymore. Dude makes millions of Euros which is like billions of dollars and for some reason thinks his flashy Euro mullet is acceptable viewing for hundreds of millions of people.
Germany will now have a semifinal date between the winner of Croatia and Turkey (who are cheaters because most of their country is actually in Asia). On the other side of the bracket and which is all the rage here in Holland, The Netherlands plays Russia (also cheaters) in a quarterfinal match to be played Saturday. So far the Dutch have been the most impressive team in the tournament, winning the “group of death” by defeating Italy 3-0, France 4-1 and Romania 2-0. Italy advanced as the #2 seed and will play Spain in their quarterfinal.
Despite The Netherlands dominance, they will face a stiff challenge from a young and upstart Russian squad. Not to mention the fact that Putin may order their food to be poisoned. Germany and The Netherlands cannot meet unless they both make the finals, but that’s what I’m rooting for, as someone cheering for Holland simply because I live here, bring on Deutschland! We’re taking you guys down damnit!
