Portugal lost- bad performance- 1st half a little better than 2nd half. Switzerland 2-0 Portugal -2 goals by Yakim

I'm too sad- can't talk. I must say Switzerland's 2nd goal didn't surprise me. Portugal had it coming.

Will write about it tomorrow- Have plans for tonight.

Some quick thoughts...

No midfield. Less and less possession of the ball in the 2nd half. I can't imagine how it would have been if Portugal stayed with 10 men. That foul by my favorite player Paolo Ferreira- worthy of a red card.

The referee not giving 2 penalty kicks in the 1st half because of fouls on Nani. If Switzerland was so strong, how come they didn't win any of their games, before this one?

Key players went to the bench.

I wonder what they thought in the last 10 minutes of the game. Switzerland practically was pushed by the home crowd and their attitude. Where was Portugal's attitude or "garra?"

Here's a photo of Portugal's Miguel, Arsenal's Philippe Senderos, Portugal #2 Paolo Ferreira.

1st half.

In the 1st 15 minutes whenever the Portugal team caused some threat it was because right-back Miguel would go forward in the Switzerland half of the field, and cross it to Postiga or Nani.

When Miguel didn't have the ball, Raul Meireles, Miguel Veloso would do too many horiztontal passing then lose posession of the ball.

Is it time for Scolari to stop insisting on using Paolo Ferreira out of position? Stop using him as a left-back? Why even call him up if we know that the starting righ-backs will be 1st choice FC Porto's Bosingwa, then Valencia's Miguel, then Jorge Ribeiro.
