Regarding Miguel, I've been reading his online columns in order to improve my Portuguese. Here's the latest one.
As he says: "A Itália e Portugal são, neste momento, aliados fiéis, que se desejam ver na final. A Itália far-nos-á o favor de eliminar a Alemanha e nós faremos à Itália o favor de eliminar a França."
or, my translation: "Italy and Portugal are at this moment faithful allies who wish to meet each other at the finals. Italy will do us the favor of eliminating Germany and we will do Italy the favor of eliminating France." posted by vacapinta at 9:58 AM on July 3, 2006

I'm in the bizzarre position of wanting Germany, led by Jurgen Klinsmann, to win something important.
How has that happened? posted by NinjaTadpole at 2:09 PM on July 3, 2006
I have Portugal & Germany in the office sweepstake worth 40 or 20 quid respectively if they win so why do I want France or Italy to win..? posted by i_cola at 2:25 PM on July 3, 2006

Aww paw widdle Becky's crying and paw liddle Terry and paw little Ferdy because the big bad Portuguese men came and took their liddle semmy-final away. And liddle Roo's mad because that pretty boy Ronny told the big bad referee to send Roo away and then Ronny winked at the other bad Portuguese men and then he scored the winning penalty so now everyone wants their mummy. posted by MiguelCardoso at 4:23 PM on July 3, 2006 [1 favorite]
