I tried to watch both at the same time (which was a challenge). These two teams deserved to go through; nice to see Ronaldo have a good game.

When I read the headline I wasnt sure if it was about soccer or bank bailouts!
I only watched Portugal live and scanned the DVR recorded game for Germany/Holland. I prefer to watch Germany only if I have to – a hangover from my dad being in Europe for 3 1/2 years straight during WWII. Also, I lived in Portugal for a year as a teen and am very fond of the people.
The Portuguese team was full of fire and tenacious. The Dutch team, said commentators, had lots of stars but was unable to pull its act together.
