Manchester United 08/09 Away Kit Pics
The Sun has put up pictures of the Manchester United away kit for the 08/09 season.
I must say that I’m not really sure what to make of them. My first impressions go something like, “Meh!”. I sort of like the collar but the blue doesn’t sit too well with me. To be sure, I suppose this is the third kit apart from the existing home and away — despite what the Sun are saying. Although feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.
Thankfully we get to retain our home kit. Anyway, here are the pics if you’re interested.

maybe ronaldo will stay now that we got him a white jersey
June 19th, 2008 at 10:08
Thanks RR…hope our black still exists ! that was stunning !
June 19th, 2008 at 10:18
I remember someone claiming that something similar will be launched as United’s new 3rd kit. Can’t recall where I saw it, but I remember the person who posted said it looked like a United States team jersey.
It really does look like it belongs to the US national team. Ugh.
It would be much better with the trim in all red. And shorts in black.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:21
Horrible.
I remember the same article acoramatic and i didn’t like it then either!!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:25
Yup, don’t like it. Black is much better. But if we score more goals in this kit, very well then…
June 19th, 2008 at 10:26
that tevez picture makes the jersey really nice.i prefer black though.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:29
I just don’t get the blue thing. I mean really, that’s as random as the green/yellow monstrosity a few years back.
What’s so wrong with red and black? It’s devilish right?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:31
The black away kit wont be next season. When you are at the line to get numbers and names on the back of the shirt at Old Trafford it said that you should remember that the black away kit wont be in the 2008/09 season. Ive seen better kits, but as long as it has the Manchester United emblem it is beautiful in my eyes.
More trouble for United. At the moment we are trying to keep Ronaldo and CQ at our club, we are trying to get other players and we face a really hard start to the Prem season. What we didnt need is an injury to one of our best players, but that is what has happened. Anderson played against Argentina last night in a WC(world cup, not toilet) qualifier. He injured his knee in a duel with Javier Mascherano(yes, the idiot that got sent off for telling the ref to fuck off at Old Trafford in march.). Some reports say its just a twist, some say its cruciate ligaments damage. I hope it isnt the latter! To have Anderson injured for the start of the season, when we play the likes of Pool and Arsenal, is a disaster. He will one of our most important players next season, and to see him own Gerrard and Fabregas would be a delight.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:33
i must be the only one then, im glad the clubs made a change…. all it ever is, is black, red, white… nice to introduct abit of blue.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:35
At least the yellow and green had a reason, commemorating the centenary of Newton Heath, the club that became Manchenster United. This is just random marketing driven nonsense.
June 19th, 2008 at 10:40
Are Nike changing the home jersey?
June 19th, 2008 at 10:43
Ehh…no, why would Nike do that? The home jersey is, and always will be, RED!
June 19th, 2008 at 10:54
Another rip off, hate my club but love my team!
June 19th, 2008 at 11:09
“meh” indeed. That is just not that nice. There is a much better fake white one with black trim in the style of our current two on redcafe. But due to the marketing machine that is MU I will feel obliged to buy it. I think that there is a blue kit coming out for Europe to commemorate 40 years since the first euro cup win. It looks amazing. It will probably be like the GK jersey from last season which I came very close to buying as its a good looking jersey. We may only wear it in Europe though. Also considering that we won the cup in 1967-68 why are they bringing it out for 2008-2009?
June 19th, 2008 at 11:24
Liam more fool you if you are influenced by the marketing machine that is the Glaziers debt, which the fans have to pay off.
It pisses me off that it is always the fans who get ripped off. We change a shirt now once a season which is a disgrace.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:31
on a more serious note instead of worrying about what colour panties we are wearing andy was injured and apparently its not looking good!!! and the bellend that fouled him was javier “mad masch” mascherano what a twat!! i loved the game he played against liverpool he owned gerrard and masch throw barry in and that’s rafa’s defensive midfield in the bin!! hope anderson is out for a few weeks and hopefully not a whole year!
June 19th, 2008 at 11:33
It’s ok, we’ve had worse to be sure. I hope it doesn’t replace the all-black one, although according to PrideOfManchester.com that was only for the 2007-08.
Why can’t they keep it simple?
Home: Red shirt, White shorts, Black/White socks
Away: All Black (always)
Third: use this one for kit experiments but keep the Home and Away colours as above
We’ve had some truly awful kits this decade
http://www.prideofmanchester.com/sport/mufc-kits7.htm
Only the 2006-07 Home, 2007-08 Home and 2007-08 Away are worthy.
June 19th, 2008 at 11:34
I’ve not seen the challenge, so can’t comment if it was fair or not, I’ll give Macherano the benefit of the doubt, because he’s quality and not that type of player.
Best wishes to Ando, he’s young so lets hope he’s invicible!
June 19th, 2008 at 12:04
oh and i loved that green/yellow monstrocity you were talking about
June 19th, 2008 at 12:10
Beachryan- Anderson is young, but in the autumn 206 he broke his leg. Last summer he didnt play until september, and got some knocks in the end of the season. Hopefully this is also a knock. If he is Okey, we will know tonight. Imaginge this: Portugal lose, Ronaldo says he wants to stay in United, gets new contract, Anderson only out for 1 week. All this in 12 hours!
June 19th, 2008 at 12:13
that’s very optimistic! the retards at madrid said that they want ronny to speak up as well i think he’ll stay on the basis he fucked if he says that he want’s to go and fergie & galzers says “screw u dickhead, sit on the bench for 4 years!!”
June 19th, 2008 at 12:17
Kit looks rubbish, although Voldy did say he likes playing in white…..
June 19th, 2008 at 12:21
Maybe they made this kit to keep Ronny at the club…
June 19th, 2008 at 12:22
i,ve seen stranger things happen red devil lets just wait and hope.. and celebrate next season again
June 19th, 2008 at 12:31
Beachryan - what type of player is Mascherano not? If you mean, he’s not the type that slaughters players, you’re terribly wrong. He’s exactly that type. I think, he’s shown in Liverpool that he’s more than willing to go in unfairly. He’s a good player, but he’s also very dirty and ill-tempered.
I think, the kit looks great. Changing colours on the away-kit is a way to refreshen the look, because the home-kit will always stay red, obviously.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:34
It looks a little like the England kit from 1999..
June 19th, 2008 at 12:34
This kit is just horrible. I won’t be buying one this season, I think I’ll stick with my all black Rooney jersey.
June 19th, 2008 at 12:36
well said tomas
June 19th, 2008 at 13:00
According to me this is to satisfy the whimsical nature and the fetish of Ronaldo of playing in “WHITES”…..probably now he’ll shut his trap and play for us!!
June 19th, 2008 at 13:11
I have to go back to my Glazier point the new strip Red, white and blue mmmm stars and stripes.
June 19th, 2008 at 13:17
Stephen - you hate your club but love your team? I don’t get it.
And btw - noone forces you to buy the new shirts every year. It’s an opportunity for the fans to buy something new and refresh their feelings for the club, and to support the club financially. Obviously the club wants to make money, but that’s kind of the basic thing of running a business.
June 19th, 2008 at 13:26
Anyone else think nike have just gotten lazy with their designs? Seems to me this kits just 02/03 + 06/07 = 08/09?
June 19th, 2008 at 13:38
Actually, this is completely the same design as the Brasilian home kit. Its just that the white shirt is yellow, and the red part on the neck is green.
June 19th, 2008 at 13:50
It’s a decent kit, though I think the white 06/07 away was much better. But it could be worse though guys: Liverpool have this nasty grey number for their away kit next season (similar to that infamous one we had in the mid-90’s), and Chelsea have this horrid plain black away kit too (they just don’t know how to kits do they, those rent boys….).
But for God’s sake, why didn’t they keep our black kit from last season???! THAT WAS SEXY!! A work of art that one was!! So what is the third kit then? I’ve heard it is blue but I really would have preferred us to retain the black one from last year as the 3rd, like Arsenal are doing with their white and redcurrant away shirt from last year.
Agreed with Uncle Roy, I would like to see black used as our primary colour (with red trim/piping) for the away kit from now on, and the third kit can alternate between blue and white each season. Black not only looks classy, but also looks imposing!
PS. I’d like to see us bring back that green and yellow kit as a 3rd for one season. I know many people don’t like that kit, but to me it was unique.
June 19th, 2008 at 14:08
I like it. I just looked at it on the official page, and put Rooney and # 10 on the back and it looked pretty good. Once they update the patches for CHAMPIONS! i’ll probably buy a long sleeve Rooney.
June 19th, 2008 at 14:11
No CR in the pictures. Does this tell you something…?
June 19th, 2008 at 14:19
Like to give Manic Mascherano the benefit of the doubt with that tackle on Andi, but can’t sorry. This is the same numb nuts Mascherano who thought he could out remonstrate the ref at Old Trafford, and got his bum kicked off the pitch for it. Would benefit L’Fool no end if Andi was nobbled for a good part of the season, if it was intent of Masch to do this, lets hope it fails eh?.
June 19th, 2008 at 14:39
Can’t they make the “AIG” logo any smaller - this makes it look even more worrying.
(29)frankie - CR7 is in Euro duty but Rio and Tevez are not.
June 19th, 2008 at 14:55
Good news?

Yeh but evra is also in Euro Duty…He is still in picture..
Ronaldo gone, good enough!! Club is bigger than him
June 19th, 2008 at 15:22
frankly andersons injury is worrying.fans should be slow on new signings though.our team looks full,and we need a few young stars to step up.
June 19th, 2008 at 15:23
Have you seen the new goalkeeper shirt too?
http://store.manutd.com/stores/manutd/products/kit_selector.aspx?selector=229
June 19th, 2008 at 15:36
The Green/Yellow kit was one of our best ever. A classic kit. I loved the photo-shot with the squad decked out in false moustaches and bowler hats.
Umbro came out with some great kits (93-94 home, Green/Yellow, Black away) and truely awful (the Grey one!, the Sheffield Wed look-a-like, ) in the mid-90’s.
June 19th, 2008 at 15:38
also, the 2008-09 away kit would be better with white shorts, for some reason I never like football kits when the shorts have a darker colour than the shirts, e.g. white shirts/black shorts.
June 19th, 2008 at 15:39
samphrain: What about Evra then? Isn’t he meant to be at the Euros? I’m pretty sure these pictures were shot before the Euros (I’m guessing the photoshoot took place just after the CL Final) in which case Ronaldo could have modelled the kit. This might be a sign, since clubs usually make their best players model the new kits (I’m sure Ronaldo modelled last season’s home kit when it was launched). Why would he want to pass up the chance to wear his favoured white jersey anyway??
June 19th, 2008 at 15:43
One thing I do like about the pictures, is the MUFC logo in the background…
It’s not often United go for that since the ‘re-branding’ so that’s a nice tough!
June 19th, 2008 at 16:05
anyone when we are getting the new home kit this year or next?
June 19th, 2008 at 16:10
Tomas, you are obviously not a season ticket holder if you were you would see what I am saying.
Also with regards to its the choice of fans, well parents have to shell out more money each season for new stips for their children, which is not fair.
With my season ticket I suppoert the club already fecking financially thank you!!!!!
June 19th, 2008 at 16:15
Yeah but isnt Evra on Euro duty as well? Well God knows when this pic was taken…Or probably they were taken individually and photoshopped in or something..
Can’t wait until the Euro’s get over and we get some concrete news about transfers and all!
Huntelaar looked real impressive to me in the match against Romania. Held the ball up real well and sweetly laid it off for another player to just poke it into the net, but somehow they missed out. Decent finish with the 1st goal too..
June 19th, 2008 at 16:20
better news about anderson’s injury!
Check this
June 19th, 2008 at 16:31
Mihir, Huntelaar is top class, just what we need, especially if Saha goes on loan to Roma? seems a bit odd that one, what benefit to us is that?
June 19th, 2008 at 16:31
That would be the ultimate away strip for either Chelsea or Everton. I would prefer the away kit to be the exact reverse of the home kit. White shirt, red shorts and black socks.
June 19th, 2008 at 16:55
How about black shirt, white shorts and red socks? That would be the complete reverse!
June 19th, 2008 at 16:57
Nino, you are right, they should have modeled before Euro.
Seems Evra had a row with our old-rival viera in the tunnel… a lil déjà vu?
June 19th, 2008 at 17:05
I miss watching United play…
When is the next game? Is it Aberdeen or Africa?
June 19th, 2008 at 17:14
Aberdeen
June 19th, 2008 at 17:36
right, this calls for a “most ugly kit debate”, i’ll start, utd 08/09 away kit…
June 19th, 2008 at 17:38
nike arnt very ORIGINAL are they.
June 19th, 2008 at 17:40
The shirt could have been worse. We could have had the coulor of the Chelsea 2008 away kit, the Barca orange and yellow kit, The current Croatia kit, the grey kit we worn in the 90s…We will get used to it. I dont think United are about fasion, tehy are about winning.
June 19th, 2008 at 18:02
Mmmm, little deviation for a minute, forgive me, but does anyone think United should be giving Carlos Quiroz the assurances he is seeking to become the next United Manager post Fergie. Otherwise, why should he jeopardise his future by refusing Portugal?. I personally think he has done a hell of a lot for United, and deserves a chance after Fergie. He has been loyal, refusing other job offers an all!.
June 19th, 2008 at 18:06
most ugly kit = the 2005-06 away kit (blue with red trim)
June 19th, 2008 at 18:22
haha when i saw the kit, i was thinking ‘i have seen this before’ and dan on comment 58 proved it… haha i actually own that kit….
any blue kit has yet to impress me… i hate the blue kits infact,
we are red black and white…. nvr blue…
June 19th, 2008 at 18:45
Wink: The 2002-03 blue third kit was pretty good in my opinion. It had the Vodafone sponsor and the player name and number in this wicked metallic silver colour too! We wear blue kits to commemorate the first European Cup triumph back in ‘68, which we won wearing that colour, so it is part of our heritage.
Grognard: I think you have a point. Now that you mention it, I have NEVER seen any United kit with RED SHORTS or even SOCKS. A reverse away strip would look pretty awesome, but this kit with blue shorts provides a better contrast/deviation from the home kit methinks.
Uncle Roy: Seconded. That 05-06 blue kit had a vile colour contrast and was horrible overall, even more so when the AIG logo was on it.
June 19th, 2008 at 18:46
Not too keen on this kit compared to the black one. I’m sure that I will get used to it in time though, looks like Nike are getting a bit lazy with their designing though.
Our colours should always be: Red, Black, White. Apart from on special occasions (ie The Newton Heath green and gold)
Unless the blue is used to commemorate our very first European Cup win I cannot really see a good reason for it apart from marketing.
But look on the bright side, it looks quite similar to Russia’s flag (colour-wise), and what is the capital of Russia?
June 19th, 2008 at 18:52
apparently there are white shorts too.

i can’t post a link for some reason but if you go to soccer.com and click on manchester united, you can see them.
June 19th, 2008 at 19:07
Was just on the official United site and they are running ’scouting reports’ on some of the best young talent at Euro 2008. There’s detailed reports on Andrei Arshavin, Ibrahim Afellay, Arda Turan and Ivan Rakitic today, analysing each player’s strengths and weaknesses. I think the Club has realised that the end of the road has been reached with a certain CR7 and they are profiling his possible replacement/s. I could be wrong though….
June 19th, 2008 at 19:08
well thank God anderson is not out for long, i always thought there is nothing worse than a scouser, now and Argentinian scouser is even worse JM needs to be killed a la RR last blog post, i hate the goofy grinned buck toothed idiot, and would have hated him even more if he got injured, and bloody hell dunga needs to be fired, if there was one thing i could give him the benefit of the doubt is his ability to beat the idiots, now he can’t even do that, whilst making me miss valuable sleep, i want dunga fired ASAP, replace him with a goat, he could probably do a better job, Garrincha is probably turning in his grave at the moment wathing this monstrosity, the beautiful game he created for the canarinha tarnished by this immbecile, RANT OVER
moving on to united, i kinda like the kit, but the black and red will always be my 3rd favourite kit, behind the blue and red and the almighty RED of united
June 19th, 2008 at 19:10
Craig MC, I agree with you about CQ!
June 19th, 2008 at 19:12

My favorite United kits:
1st. Every RED home kit since 2001.
2nd. The black away for 2007/08.
3rd. The blue and red away kit for 2005/06. I dont understand why people dont like it! Its a great kit, very cool. But the black away kit for last season was the best away kit, EVER!
June 19th, 2008 at 19:21
Mr Muhozi - LOL at your post mate. That was one hell of a rant you wanted to get off your chest about Brazil - pure passion mate. So it was a real boring game then?.
Tom F - thanks mate. I really hope they give CQ his chance, because he has worked so hard in the United cause, especially in the good will we have with the Portuguese clubs, and the good players we got from them, which he had a great deal to do with.
June 19th, 2008 at 19:27
Krishnan- Holy shit, I just pissed in my pants! That is awsome! The guy that made that video is a pure genious! HALLELUJAH!
June 19th, 2008 at 19:27
Hehe!
Evra: Surely a future United legend! After the Italy game he seemed to be having issues with Keano’s old friend Vieira.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loCUeWdNgDo
By the way, doesn’t anybody think they’ve gone over the top with photoshop with these away kit pictures. They look very fake.
June 19th, 2008 at 19:45
is it just me or someone else also feels the german team looks like bunch of extras from that movie 300 (about hte spartans)! Even their No. 21 looks like the spartan king Leonidas from that movie!!!
imagine ronaldo as xerexes the great!!!
they could rahter have taken on a team of 100 portuguese tonite to make another movie
June 19th, 2008 at 19:49
maybe this is the white kit that ronaldo was saying that he want to play in.lol
June 19th, 2008 at 19:51
CRAIGMC- well in my 17 years on this earth, i have been fortunate to see brasil win 2 world cups appear in 3 finals, win two confederations cups and 5 copa americas , i always thought luxemburgo was the worst manager i have seen for brasil, but dunga regardless of his victory in the last copa america has been pretty poor at best, making teams we should be beating look like all stars, brasil last night, has no clue on how to play football ,leyton orient probably plays better football than the canarinha at the moment, he does not know his strongest squad, plays players that grognard mentioned in his last post would never play for brasil under the likes of scolari except anderson , i honestly do feel he would play for most brasil squads except 1982, 1970 and the Didi years as the midfield may force him to play on the bench in a platoon role, i don’t know who can replace dunga, as scolari was my number one choice, but he joined the chavs so that option is gone, now i have no idea who but i just want dunga gone before 2010 world cup
on to united, as much as i hate to say it, but aguero could actually be a decent buy for united, everything in my heart tells me he could become a stretford end legend, but his nationality is what makes me not want him, tevez god bless his heart, was able to win me over even though it took forever (the blackburn game away equaliser) and now i consider him to be one of my favourite players even though he is argentinian, and i have brasilian roots but aguero is now top of my wish list
June 19th, 2008 at 20:00
Until midnight, I am a German! GO GERMANY! Make Ronaldo cry(but dont injure him!)!
June 19th, 2008 at 20:09
YYEEEESSSSSS! Germany lead Portugal by 1 goal to 0. A United style attack, 1-touch five times to Podolski who crosses low to Shweinshteiger(?) who scores from 6 yards. Great goal, Ronaldo frustrated, I am happy, COME ON GERMANY!
June 19th, 2008 at 20:11
Germany 2-0 Portugal! Klose! Header from free-kick, Ronaldo loses his marker(Klose) who scores.
June 19th, 2008 at 20:13
[Muhozi]
Have to agree mate. I have also been a Brazil fan for as long as I remember. The only reason I used to like Argentina was because of Maradona and most of my memories are hazy at best because I was way too young and relied more on my dad’s stories on his greatness.
Back to Dunga, I thought when he was initially appointed he was a good choice because he injected some amount of discipline that was lacking in the Brazil team of the last world cup. But now the team plays become boring more like Mourinho’s Chelsea (towards his last days.)
June 19th, 2008 at 20:15
wow that didnt take long
now put nani in let him get one and then ronny is so sad he has to call his daddy saf for comfort.
June 19th, 2008 at 20:18
YESSSS GERMANY, thank you so much, now we can get an answer out of ronaldo, but please no turkey style late heroics please
June 19th, 2008 at 20:21
damn right gator! Ronaldo is to blamed for letting klose get that clear header. Absolutely piss poor defending from a guy who has such brilliant heading ability. Schweinsteiger is playing AMAZING. 1 goal and 1 assist already!
Grognard, Christmas is early it seems
June 19th, 2008 at 20:31
2-1 I thought Ronaldo blew it but Gomes was there. I missed the first half hour so can someone tell me how both teams are playing although I’m sure eamonn dunphy will be doing so quite soon
June 19th, 2008 at 20:33
2-1 to Germany at half time…seems like its going to be one hell of a game! nuno gomes’s commitment and passion is infectious. Clear reason why he is captain and Ronaldo is not.
June 19th, 2008 at 20:40
RedRanter- fair enough dunga bought in discipline which was not really that much needed, what brasi needed was an injection of youth and hunger, which parreria refused to add be it he was not brave or did he believe they would have much impact, the 2006 squad was a case of “we’ve done it in 02 no biggie if we dont win it, we already have a medal, there was a lot of talent on the bench who was hungry for their medal, but the opportunity is now passed. That was the past and regardless of it, our future looks very bleak due to our currents manager inability to construct a team capable of playing joga bonito, calling dungas style mourinho is an insult to jose, as at least he won games and lit up the game with his arrogance which made his team hated and interesting to watch, dunga is more like avram grant minus the goofey look
June 19th, 2008 at 20:41
Guys; Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. Just when you think Germany has it wrapped up Ronaldo awakens and it’s 2-1 and it should have been 2-2. You know how great Ronaldo is? He is absolutely terrifying when your are rooting against him and not for him. He’s literally scaring the crap right out of me whenever he touches the ball, which fortunately hasn’t been that often. Germany’s back four look awful. Mertesacker and Metzelder are great when it comes to high balls but they look very slow when Portugal work a lot of 1/2’s and when Ronaldo makes vertical runs. I also think the referee is an idiot. He’s letting too much grabbing, clutching and late tackling go for both teams.
I think Germany is playing similar to the way United play in the CL but the difference is their CB’s are not as good as Rio and Vidic. I still think they are quality defenders but just a bit slow. And where was Friedrich on the Portuguese goal. He ended up giving Ronaldo two easy shots on goal, one that was saved but let to the goal and the other just wide. They need to get tighter at the back and put more pressure on Portugal as they try to come out of their own end. They are sagging back in that United style zone defense but the problem is that they are not as good as United defensively. This could cost them. I’m hoping for another counterattack goal to put this game on ice.
For me Ballack has been very good so far.
June 19th, 2008 at 21:04
I love Michael Ballack. The best header in the world. Germany is winning this game based on Big Phil’s biggest concern, Germany’s superiority in height.

3-1 horrible defending again by Portugal and Ballack had a free header. Looked a bit of a foul though
June 19th, 2008 at 21:06
here comes Nani
Did you see Ronaldo get the armband put on him by Gomes? It was like Gomes was his servant
June 19th, 2008 at 21:11
If we dont get an answer from Ronaldo tonight, he can rot in hell! That is if Portugal lose. Which they thankfully look like doing. Woow, Nani just made a great run just to be stopped by some German defender. Ballack has been awsome so far. Hius goal should have been disallowed though.

Fuck it I hate portugal Let them loose bloody wankers;Ronaldo Sucks
June 19th, 2008 at 21:19
Nani is sporting some nice new facial hair
he also just got a smack in the face with the ball that looked sore

I dont think there was anything disrespectful about that. Its not something new for a captain going off the field to personally put on the armband on the deputy.

Hope Fergie Buys Schweinsteiger and Sells that ungrateful arse Ronaldo;Well Big Phil really sucks at being a coach
I am not a bit worried about chelscum having him as a Coach…Scared of Ballack though….
June 19th, 2008 at 21:25
I want Podolski in United! He has gotten even better!
June 19th, 2008 at 21:26
oh well I guess I overreacted I just thought it was unusual
We really should sign Podolski. Although if Gomez goes to Bayern then Klose may become available but maybe that’s a dream…
3-2 Nani crosses from the left and sets up Postiga. Should be a good finish now
June 19th, 2008 at 21:27
I am absolutely loving it! Not the kit. Never the away kit. But the fact that Germany is really spanking Ronaldo and co. It will be so great to see him at a press conference within the next 72 hours. Of course, he’ll probably be complaining about something or other. But perhaps he might just say something about his future. Maybe he’ll realize that he can’t be the same footballer if he doesn’t have the class players around him like he does at United. He’s now seen what happens when he is surrounded by names and numbers rather than team-players. Then again, he might have just meant after the entire Euro, not just after Portugal is knocked out.

really a dull kit i must say but then i never liked white
anyways germany is winning it
edit portugal pulls one back 2-3 at the moment
June 19th, 2008 at 21:32
Good for Nani, perfect cross. Still want Portugal to lose though…
June 19th, 2008 at 21:34
OMG Nani came on and is dazzling with the ball at his feet. Such a great cross for the Postiga goal. We need to get a tall striker to get on the end of Nani’s crosses because I maintain he is one of the best crossers of the ball we have.
Deco has impressed me a lot this tournament. I know he is old, but I’d love for us to be able to rotate Scholes and Deco next season and when Scholes retires still have Deco as that experienced midfield playmaker
June 19th, 2008 at 21:37
i dont know why anyone would want podolski or Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger isnt half as good as ronaldo and podolski can only score in international games hes rubbish at club level
June 19th, 2008 at 21:37
Good riddance to bad rubbish!
June 19th, 2008 at 21:40
Feel so sorry for the lad Nani. The guy deserved a starting place. He looked terrific. Can’t wait to see him next season.
June 19th, 2008 at 21:41
Finally Ronaldo is a loser (of a competition), for the moment at least. I’m sure many of you would say he’s a loser in general, and I can’t say I disagree. Maybe (I hope) it will bring him to his senses.
June 19th, 2008 at 21:41
Right, Ronaldo. over to you. red or white. future legend or turncoat. place your bets now!
June 19th, 2008 at 21:41
great piece of play from the boy wonder. Ronaldo was non existant tonight?!
Thought bosingwa looks decent but not too botherd we missed out on him.
…..ALL YOU NANI HATERS OUT THERE- Looks like were losing Cristiano so you all better get a gri
