Germany push Portugal out of Euro 2008

After DD's (DD -Domenech the Demented) Comedy show it was Big Phil's turn with Portugal going down to Germany 3-2. It is said that Big Phil pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket which showed he had done the homework about his opponents strengths and his own teams weaknesses. In terms of size Portugals Davids were up againsts the Goalliaths of Germany and Big Phil had a solution to this problem.
What Scolari did not say was that his other pocket held his contract with Chelsea. Likewise Ronaldo too appeared to be keen to get it over with and move on to next match in Real Madrid colours. Schweinsteiger scored one and set up two for Klose and Ballack and all Portugals defenders could do was watch the ball. The Portuguese GK Ricardo was not first choice at his club but was Big Phil's first choice for the national side! Deco, Nani, Pepe and Simao tried but lacked conviction in face of a two goal deficit.
Set piece goals by Germany suggest that this match was probably not the best advertisement for European football. Germany reverted to their time tested style of play. They pulled out Mario Gomez and put five men in the midfield. Klose was the lone striker fed by Schweinsteiger and Podolski in the wings. Finally Klose shed his invisibility cloak and tucked one in. If that was easy then what can one say of the Ballack goal? He pushed the defender almost as irreverently as commuters on the Churchgate bound Mumbai locals help people board the train during peak hours. Blink of an eye and people waiting for the train on the platform find themselves inside the train! No wonder the ref could not see the foul and the ball was at the back of the net.
Ronaldo in this match was not worth Schweinsteiger's 'chaddi' in this match...what to say of the 98 million dollar (?) transfer fee that Real wants to pay? Fergie should be doubly delighted. Big Phil to coach his arch rivals Chelsea and Donaldo...err Ronaldo sold for Kings Ransom!
Anyways ... I am okay with the fact that Chelsea United (Portugal) lost and there is a distinct possibility that we may see Cheeseheads v Krauts final. That will be as bitterly faught a contest as the recent India and Pakistan in a WC T20 Final.
But wishing for these two to play the finals is being hard on Italy and Croatia who have played very good football and incidently the other two teams I expect to see in the SF.
