This game has made me really proud of the NT. I have always been proud but the results we've had recently we're making me nervous. I'm still not convinced we're at the level we were at during the Figo years, but this was an absolutely clutch victory full of adversity and many doubters. Ronaldo stepped up, the team stepped up and Bento stepped up despite some bad calls by the refs to top it all off.

If they play like this they surely will have a chance in the Euros come 2012. Who knows, maybe by then Carvalho, Bosingwa and Bento will have kissed and made up and we'll be an even stronger team than we already are. Although we have a lot to be proud about tonight so lets enjoy it. This team put us through hell and back over the course of two qualifications but managed to get it done again. Thrilling stuff! Everyone enjoy it.

PS Sorry for Bosnia, it was truly a great run, but you didn't deserve to qualify. That was plain to see tonight.

First props for showing up even though your team got slapped hard.

You got the benefit of 2 no calls on 2 penalties and an offside goal and you still feel hard done by. Are you for real or just an WUM?
i believed from the start a month ago

Dino, BiH
First of all my congratulations to national team of Portugal. I am Bosnian and I must say this:
I can admit that your team has better players(ronaldo, etc.)
but are you afraid of playing fair, against our national team.
What's matter ???
I dont know but in my opinion i would be very disgraced with Classification on that way.
If you are better ( one thing in my opinion, you are better ;) )
but what are you doing, are you afraid of little Bosnia and Herzegovina ?
I dont know, but all acting and that relations its not good.
If you are thinking that you can beat us, why are you using it ????

All best from BIH
Great Performance

The Team played really well, loved the passing.

I was desperately hoping Veloso would take that free kick, it was perfect positioning for him and he struck it beautifully.

Coentrao was freakin awesome as usual.

P.S I cried when martins came on for Postiga. Even with the little time he had he somehow managed to send a shot into the stands. What a Wang!
Bosnians :-)

I have to admit, I am not watching this game but I am reading what is usually pretty accurate commentary on Goal.com.
Apparently Postiga my have been robbed of a penalty and then the ref follows this up by awarding Bosnia a penalty for handball on Coentrao although it looked he was fouled instead. Sounds like shoddy refereeing tonight...This better not affect Portugal’s qualification.
Omg

In my idea,i don't think that Portugal will not qualify for the cup because the team is not powerful enough to defeat even a very weak team like Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Come On!
