Finally have a chance to catch up with some games. But first thing first -- WTF is wrong with the kits in the tournament? England's home kit is arguably the ugliest one I have seen yet. The pale silver blue just doesn't work, and the red socks is a horrible mismatch for the white and blue of the top.
And then there is Portugal's away kit. O.M.F.G. When I just started the game, I had to do a double take at the team names to make sure I was watching the right one! For bloody crying out loud, I thought I was watching Nigeria! If I am not mistaken, I think their home kit's colour is off too, but it wasn't quite as bad as the away kit's colour.
Same goes for Russia's home kit -- I thought I was watching Portugal play. Russia is supposed to be red, with and blue, not burgundy.
Back to the game.
Hungary vs Portugal... Oh my... what an exciting game to watch. I agree with Radioman that C7 is really earning his keep in this game, but at the same time, I wonder if he is hurt after that fall from a leaping header. He was seen massaging and nursing his right thigh near the hip joint after the fall, and since that moment, I can't shake off the impression that he seems to be limping / waddling a bit instead of jogging / running around normally. Plus, a few of his kicks / shots were all off, and his overall behaviour seems a bit different than during the earlier parts of the game. It goes without saying that if Ronaldo is hurt, Portugal is finished.
