		<description>And now it is an end of tournament for all my favourites! - Croatia. Netherlands and Portugal.
Croatia is going home without defeat, but thats all why this game is so unpredictable and amazing.
The refeering on this tournament was awfull, and I dont mean on yesterday game, Rossetti was OK.
Croatia played better, but they didnt used their chanches, all in one cong to Turkey. As I see they could lift the trophy, the luck is on their side!
Be welll!
Greetings from Croatia</description>

		<description>Thank you everyone!
In the last few days we could see some very spectacular and very attractive games specially from Netherlands. I think that they could easily go into finals.
Concerning C. Ronaldo I think that he is the one of the greatest footballer in the world, but it would be a great mistake to go into Real Madrid. Thats a different style of playing, and I believe he will not adopt to that. We can see what happened to Henry when he moved to Barcelona, / Shevcenko - Chelsea, Ballack - Chelsea, and so on.
Ronaldo is in the greatest form of his life, but glory and power has overtaken him.He calim that he is the best player in the world and , (thats why I dont like him very much) but when he is under preassure, he is not efficient. He is the best in the Europe, but I think that the best player in the world is Kaka.
Croatia has announced that they will play wiht B team against Poland, because they want to rest players and they dont want that players who was given yellow card to get another one and then could not be able to play in quater finals.
Hope to see more of the good games.
Pozdravljam sve ljubitelje nogometa u Americi.
I am sending greetings to all football fans in America.

		<description>It depends what you&#039;re asking about concerning Cristiano Ronaldo. As for his play, Casey pretty much summed it up. It seems like so far in Euro he&#039;s had a hand in every goal for Portugal (one himself, and one assist to Quaresma that Ronaldo basically gave away).

Now - if you&#039;re talking about his possible move to Real Madrid, I don&#039;t blame him. What else does he have to prove at United? Possibly taking Real Madrid to Champions League prominence would be a new challenge for him and one he thinks can be achieved. It wouldn&#039;t surprise me the least bit if he wants to go there.

Go Croatia! Bog blagoslovio Hrvatsku!</description>

		<description>We could not have a legitimate discussion about who is the top player in the world without mentioning Ronaldo.  He possesses superb individual skills.  His pretty boy image might grow a little old.</description>
