What a horrible way to prepare for Euro 12. Piss poor defending and even worse attacking display. Ronaldo is losing confidence in his penalties and hugo has lost all confidence in his abilities. When a striker chooses to pass instead of score when hes 1 v 1, he just says hes to scared to miss. Bad bad bad
Drastic Action Needed

I am always positive and hopeful, BUT if Bruno Alves plays for us in Euro we will need a miracle to advance. Just think that was Turkey's forwards he was playing against, what the hell will happen when he faces Germany and Netherlands' forwards!!?? That idiot caused both 2 goals Turkey scored! I'm serious if Bruno Alves starts for us it is HOPELESS! At this highest level of football, regardless of how good your forwards are, you need to have a solid defense to win games. That CLOWN will lose us all the games! The whole team played well and I was proud of their game but Bruno had to ruin everything. Seriously the best thing that could happen now is for somebody to hospitalize that fool, forcing him to withdraw, which would then force Bento to call back up Ricardo Carvalho. I thought we could have gotten by without him maybe, but now I'm convinced that Bruno is a blatant weakness that will always undo us, and we need a better CB to partner with Pepe.
What. An. Embarrassment

Just a joke. Nothing to take from this game (other than lopes who looked to me like a better option than Pereira). I'm not sure I can even stand to watch the Germany game next week.
Embarrassing

After tonight's performance...loosing 3-1 is an absolute embarrassment. Shocking defense and poor finishing equals early exit. Lost my sleep on this!!!
still the best

LOL - it's all i can say about the third turkish goal.
Good luck, Portugal! I believe, you can crash Germany and Holland even after today's game.
It sucks...

We need some momentum going into this EURO's.
FORCA SELECAO!!

We have 65,000+ behind our team for this match. I hope our players can feed off this atmosphere and put in a convincing performance ahead of our opener against Germany. I've read the discouraging comments made lately.. the group is tough but we need to give them our 100% support. Danish are keeping optimistic so why cant we? Anything is possible.
we need a score tonight

This game must be a great game to watch! The guys will have a duty to show us a portuguese football of a high quality tonight! They had a great campaign together, they must be ready to rock on the pitch and gain our confidence as fans before entering the toughest match against the germans!

Blind belief in Bento and our players!
Forca PortugaL!!!!!
