    Well i wanted to swith it up so it came from more teams. also i thought VDV was mostly great in moments of the game allthough in those moments he usually did something very productive.

    lol! at all the people who still put pirlo after italy lost 3-0, only on the European Football Fourm and the AC Milan forum I guess.

    although he played a couple of nice passes and had a couple of good free-kicks no way was he anywhere near as good as frings, deco, moutinho (did people just forget him?), vdv etc for guys who did play in the middle, let alone guys like sneider, iniesta etc

    All the officials and linesmen so far : refereeing has been the best I ever saw at a major tournament ok

    The players also deserve a thumbs up : hardly any diving or extremely hard fouling Ale

    I only said Pirlo because it was pretty much Pirlo vs Netherlands at times

    He created a couple of chances for the strikers, and he generally played quite well considering what he was up against.

    I didn't see the 2nd half of the Portugal game, so can't really comment on Mountinho
