Blame it on the referee, cover of O Jogo after Switzerland 2-0 Portugal euro 2008 game


I was curious to see what the cover of some Portuguese sports paper said. The defeat- 2-0. It just doesn't happen. Talentwise, it had more than the Switzerland team. Given the 2 most talked about transfers were for the 1st time in the starting lineup- Midfielder Miguel Veloso (might leave Sporting Lisboa) and FC Porto winger Ricardo Quaresma (on Jose Mourinho's list of targets for Inter).

But noooo. Blame it on the referee. Ok- but don't give him 100% of the blame.

Is it the referee's fault that Helder Postiga missed 4 shots on target in the 1st half because he headed it over the bar? Only his goal that was incorrectly ruled offside.
